update from 7 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

how long does support usually take to answer

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

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

weigh the vials

not by dm

anyone compared Homopeptide and TFC on the same compound

ask for a cold pack

they improved

my first order from GL Biochem was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, thats just me

coming back after 10 months, who has changed for the better
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QSC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, take that with a pinch of salt

they slipped

Batch lookup SG-1177: 7 independent reports on file, earliest 2024-11-09.

quoted lead time was 3 days, real one was 23. is that typical

paperwork is worth it

is BCH the manufacturer or a reseller

*VendorInvestigate not the other one

thats a reseller

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

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

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

first order from FGP, anything i should know

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem, ill dig out the number

*VendorInvestigate not the other one

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

three orders no issues

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

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

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

is it worth paying more for better paperwork
