the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

Highlights from this day
- per_mg_pete — the packaging from SGN was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 12:28
- split_shipment — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QSC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 13:42
- split_shipment — i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did 13:44
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
per mg including shipping

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
is it worth paying more for better paperwork

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
JEEP has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want
the packaging from SGN was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, not advice obviously
my first order from QSC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
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
update on the earlier thing cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QSC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

how long does support usually take to answer
ask who makes it
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, i have it written down somewhere
thats a reseller
