Highlights from this day
  • careful_claims — has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for GL Biochem 19:23
  • logrotate — the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 20:08
  • stack_sceptic — for the archive update from 13 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity 21:36

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

thats the synthesis house

BS

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

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

BS

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

CPC has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want

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

BS

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

SS

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

BS

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

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

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

ask for a cold pack

weigh the vials

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