Highlights from this day
  • relabel_watch — the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk… 01:51
  • vial_ledger — quick one how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation 02:08
  • vial_ledger — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 02:16
  • dana_titrates — i would order from ERP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, ask me again in a month 03:06
  • dana_titrates — slightly off topic but i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QST, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, happy to be corrected 03:17

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
update from 12 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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

TFC has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want

TT

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

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

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

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

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, i have it written down somewhere

VL

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

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

quick one how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

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

DT

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

TT

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

DT

slightly off topic but i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QST, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, happy to be corrected
