a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

- calgary_cold — i would order from QST again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 15:22
- auckland_aliquot — sorry to jump in cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, thats just me 15:45
thats the synthesis house

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
what packaging have people had from BCH
🧪11
is FGP the manufacturer or a reseller
[edited]my first order from QSC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with WXT, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
coming back after 13 months, who has changed for the better
right so the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
[edited]⚠️7📉1
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
do the arithmetic
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

three orders no issues
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

weigh the vials
while im here i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
quick one if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
unrelated but WXT has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want
screenshot the invoice
thats a reseller
follow up cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
right so no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
follow up is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
per mg including shipping
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, still working it out
coming back to this support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
[edited]ok so ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
order before new year
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
👍1
who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment
not by dm
quoted lead time was 7 days, real one was 24. is that typical
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for QST
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
