Highlights from this day
- sharps_comedy — is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask 10:04
- ema_vs_national — how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer 10:53
- ema_vs_national — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 11:22
- ghk_gia — quick one i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SGN, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 11:52
- meal_prep_mick — QSC has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want 15:44
while im here anyone had fill consistency problems with TFC
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
slightly off topic but i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
thats the synthesis house
screenshot the invoice
unrelated but prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
thats a reseller
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
❤️5😂2👍1
follow up reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
anyone compared TFC and GL Biochem on the same compound
for the archive my first order from ERP was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
ask who makes it

three orders no issues
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
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 mgcold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for KP
[edited]lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, happy to be corrected
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
per mg including shipping
they slipped
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
quick one i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SGN, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
update from 6 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, i think
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
do the arithmetic
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
paperwork is worth it
[edited]order before new year
coming back after 16 months, who has changed for the better
how long does support usually take to answer
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
ask for a cold pack
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, still working it out
not by dm
update on the earlier thing what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
QSC has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
secretagogue_syupdate from 6 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, i think
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
