Highlights from this day
- cold_pack_carla — first order from JEEP, anything i should know 17:03
- invoice_mismatch — what packaging have people had from TFC the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 19:39
- per_mg_pete — CPC has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want 20:50
paperwork is worth it

do the arithmetic
right so cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
Digest for the week of 2024-11-13 has been published.
is SWB the manufacturer or a reseller
first order from JEEP, anything i should know

coming back after 18 months, who has changed for the better
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
they improved
they slipped
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 mganyone had fill consistency problems with QSC
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with Homopeptide, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
ask who makes it
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
✅1
the packaging from WXT was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
how long does support usually take to answer

ask for a cold pack
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
weigh the vials
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, from memory
per mg including shipping
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
my first order from BCH was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
update from 22 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
update on the earlier thing i would order from QST again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
anyone compared GL Biochem and GL Biochem on the same compound
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
thats a reseller
Assay note: GL Biochem lot D-0718 reported at 99% of label content.
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
thats the synthesis house
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
what packaging have people had from TFC
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

update from 13 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
whats the minimum order like at HJ
[edited]New independent result logged — QYB, lot A-2601, purity 99.2% (Medutest).
Assay note: QYB lot G-0641 reported at 99% of label content.
genuine question the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
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 mgis there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
quick one does factory direct actually mean anything
📈1⚠️1
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
screenshot the invoice

CPC has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want
🧊3📉16🙏9
three orders no issues
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
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WWB
not by dm
quick one price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
