Highlights from this day
  • confirmations_six — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with TFC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, i have it written down somewhere a supplier who tells you… 22:11
  • VialBot — Verification log updated: SGN — evidence added, status unchanged. 22:46
  • ollie_orders — cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times 23:17
  • see_a_clinician — what packaging have people had from TFC nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did 23:30

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

they slipped

TO

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

thats a reseller

TT

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

CO

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, anyway
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

CS

the packaging from ERP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

CO

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

is GGPeps the manufacturer or a reseller

follow up i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

paperwork is worth it

update from 12 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

ST

genuine question a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg, take that with a pinch of salt
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

BR

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

CO

has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for GL Biochem

unrelated but price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, ymmv

ask who makes it

💀3🎉1
ST

FGP has been consistent for me across 7 orders which is what i actually want

VB

Verification log updated: SGN — evidence added, status unchanged.

CO

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

weigh the vials

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

CO

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

DO

how long does support usually take to answer

*PeptideMeter 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

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

DO

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

OO

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

slightly off topic but who are people using for tirzepatide at the moment

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

right so cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

unrelated but thats the synthesis house

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

what packaging have people had from TFC

CO

i would order from SSA again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

ask for a cold pack

ask for a cold pack

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
