Highlights from this day
  • noct.titrate — i would order from JEEP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, still working it out the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg.… 21:03
  • evidence_or_not — how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation 21:15
  • typosquat_tay — the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, i think 22:20
  • evidence_or_not — ask for a cold pack, from memory 22:21
  • first_vial_finn — what packaging have people had from QSC 23:00

BCH has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want, we shall see

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

🔥1

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

EO

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

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, ill dig out the number

quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 15. is that typical

CH

follow up coming back after 16 months, who has changed for the better

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

NT

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

i would order from JEEP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, still working it out
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

CH

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg, still working it out

MU

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

KF

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

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

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

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

screenshot the invoice

EO

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

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

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

thats the synthesis house

ask who makes it

KF

update from 3 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

weigh the vials

VB

Testing queue: 7 submissions open, 129 awaiting dispatch.

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

CH

per mg including shipping, your mileage will differ
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

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

TT

coming back to this no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, someone check my working

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

CH

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

my first order from SGN was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

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

TT

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

EO

ask for a cold pack, from memory

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

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

not by dm

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