Highlights from this day
  • mira_pins — is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries 19:36
  • tga_notice — first order from BCH, anything i should know 20:05
  • lisbon_lot — lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, i think i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 20:15
MP

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

does factory direct actually mean anything

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

LL

quoted lead time was 6 days, real one was 13. is that typical

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, ask me again in a month

ask who makes it

LL

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

thats the synthesis house

RW

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

right so how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

RW

ok so minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

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

weigh the vials

anyone had fill consistency problems with FGP
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

is it worth paying more for better paperwork
