ok so is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, for what its worth
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
they improved

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
is GL Biochem the manufacturer or a reseller
quick one coming back after 24 months, who has changed for the better
ask who makes it
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
three orders no issues
sorry to jump in i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem, from memory
📉2
paperwork is worth it
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
not by dm
option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mgno_escrow_natea supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing…
i would order from HJ again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
sorry to jump in anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
Testing queue: 2 submissions open, 57 awaiting dispatch.
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
order before new year
update from 9 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
anyone had fill consistency problems with TFC
option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mg⚠️7
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
how long does support usually take to answer
👀11⚠️1🔥1
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
quoted lead time was 8 days, real one was 14. is that typical
🤝1💀2
they slipped
thats a reseller
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
weigh the vials
per mg including shipping
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
screenshot the invoice
what packaging have people had from TFC
update on the earlier thing price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
