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

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with HJ, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

coming back to this quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

coming back after 22 months, who has changed for the better

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

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

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

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

*Janoshik not the other one

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

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

paperwork is worth it

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

what packaging have people had from WXT
