mag_citrate 21:56

VialBotbot21:58

Reminder for mag_citrate: dose day is today. Set 7 days ago.

fasting_insulin 22:00

my first order from SWB was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, n of 1 obviously

no_appetite_nia 22:02

thats a reseller

💀9🙏1

fasting_insulin 22:04

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, we shall see

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

the packaging from WWB was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

mag_citrate they slipped

half_life_hal 22:08

update from 17 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

for the archive whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

fasting_insulin price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, we shall see

no_appetite_nia 22:13

weigh the vials

fasting_insulin 22:15

unrelated but what packaging have people had from GGPeps

follow up a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

no_appetite_nia 22:19

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

fasting_insulin 22:21

ok so the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

no_appetite_nia 22:25

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

fasting_insulin 22:27

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

no_appetite_nia 22:29

order before new year

provincial_pat 22:31

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

per mg including shipping

[edited]

no_appetite_nia weigh the vials

fasting_insulin 22:35

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, still working it out

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

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

provincial_pat 22:42

sorry to jump in QST has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want

[edited]

retention_time 22:44

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

❤️18

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

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QSC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, we shall see

💀3

ask for a cold pack

three orders no issues

ok so better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

they improved

first_and_last_four 22:58

do the arithmetic, anyway

retention_time ask for a cold pack

factory_direct_fi 23:00

first order from SSA, anything i should know

[edited]

half_life_hal 23:02

i would order from QYB again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, ask me again in a month

screenshot the invoice

💀11✅1

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

👍9

factory_direct_fi 23:06

anyone had fill consistency problems with JEEP

seoul_swirl 23:08

genuine question a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

factory_direct_fi 23:09

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

ask who makes it

seoul_swirl 23:12

is QYB the manufacturer or a reseller

order before new year

non_scale_win 23:16

per mg including shipping

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

seoul_swirl 23:19

follow up i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

non_scale_win 23:25

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, someone check my working

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, n of 1 obviously

does factory direct actually mean anything

coming back after 2 months, who has changed for the better

half_life_hal is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

non_scale_win 23:36

thats the synthesis house

seoul_swirl 23:37

who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment

provincial_pat 23:44

not by dm, i have it written down somewhere

anyone compared WWB and HJ on the same compound
update from 21 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

paperwork is worth it
