Highlights from this day
- tesa_tess — cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times 21:23
- confirmations_six — anyone compared WXT and TFC on the same compound 21:42
- vial_ledger — support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation 21:45
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

update from 22 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, for what its worth
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for SGN
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
thats the synthesis house
while im here price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

*VendorInvestigate not the other one
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, i could be wrong
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
how long does support usually take to answer

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
ask for a cold pack
not by dm

coming back after 12 months, who has changed for the better
per mg including shipping
i would order from GL Biochem again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
screenshot the invoice
my first order from TFC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

ok so reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
first order from FGP, anything i should know
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, still working it out
🔥1⚠️1🧊3
quoted lead time was 6 days, real one was 19. is that typical
they improved
they slipped
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
paperwork is worth it
