slightly off topic but ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

Highlights from this day
- split_shipment — support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation 22:26
- split_shipment — slightly off topic but my first order from MKM was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved 22:30
- ms_ms_mira — the packaging from QSC was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 22:39
- ten_of_ten — HJ has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want, still working it out 22:41
- ms_ms_mira — i would order from JEEP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 23:33
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
first order from SWB, anything i should know

for the archive i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, anyway
Testing queue: 2 submissions open, 28 awaiting dispatch.
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
weigh the vials
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
screenshot the invoice
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg, i think
*that should say weekly
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
TFC has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want
i would order from JEEP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
do the arithmetic
update from 3 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
