what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, thats one data point
[edited]order before new year

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
[edited]do the arithmetic

who are people using for tirzepatide at the moment
first order from GGPeps, anything i should know
paperwork is worth it
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for QYB

quick one what packaging have people had from ERP
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
not by dm
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
sorry to jump in whats the minimum order like at WXT
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
i would order from TFC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
is WXT the manufacturer or a reseller
coming back after 6 months, who has changed for the better

they slipped

screenshot the invoice
ok so better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

how long does support usually take to answer
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, thats one data point
thats a reseller
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
they improved

my first order from SGN was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
per mg including shipping
