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

coming back after 22 months, who has changed for the better

TE

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

update from 8 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

TF

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

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

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

TE

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

do the arithmetic

*VendorInvestigate not the other one

they improved

TE

quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 18. is that typical

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, someone check my working
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

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

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

CB

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, for what its worth

NP

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

EM

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

ask who makes it

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

NP

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

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

what packaging have people had from QSC

VB

Purity check: no report on file for lot A-2418. Nothing logged either way.

GG

coming back to this whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

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

first order from SGN, anything i should know

TE

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

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

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

for the archive is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

screenshot the invoice

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

❤️10

they slipped

👀13🧪5

order before new year

ask for a cold pack

DE

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

whats the minimum order like at CPC

QYB has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want

is KP the manufacturer or a reseller

not by dm

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

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