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

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem, we shall see

T5

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot, i could be wrong

NP

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

RW

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

RW

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

RW

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

T5

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

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

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

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

thats the synthesis house

EO

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

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

*PeptideMeter not the other one

my first order from CPC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, from memory

VL

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
