Highlights from this day
  • VialBot — Batch lookup SG-1177: 5 independent reports on file, earliest 2024-08-16. 13:14
  • split_dose_sam — cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times 13:23
  • glasgow_vial — my first order from QST was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved 13:30
  • no_appetite_nia — i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 13:36
  • no_appetite_nia — quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part 14:23

update from 26 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

paperwork is worth it

my first order from QST was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mg

weigh the vials

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

order before new year

option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mg

is it worth paying more for better paperwork
