they improved
first order from MKM, anything i should know
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
does factory direct actually mean anything
screenshot the invoice

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

what packaging have people had from BCH
paperwork is worth it
right so how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
ok so i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
how long does support usually take to answer
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

order before new year
update from 18 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
the packaging from FGP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
anyone had fill consistency problems with WXT
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
Digest for the week of 2025-01-16 has been published.

ask for a cold pack
my first order from WXT was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

thats the synthesis house
coming back after 9 months, who has changed for the better
ask who makes it
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
👍4🎉11😂1
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
thats a reseller

is it worth paying more for better paperwork
[edited]lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
i would order from QST again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, i could be wrong
whats the minimum order like at CPC
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
right so do the arithmetic
per mg including shipping
not by dm
three orders no issues
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, ymmv

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
😂1
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
quoted lead time was 4 days, real one was 4. is that typical
*that should say weekly
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SGN, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for SGN
weigh the vials, take that with a pinch of salt
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
per mg including shipping
right so ask for a cold pack
for the archive they slipped
QSC has been consistent for me across 7 orders which is what i actually want
paperwork is worth it
