Highlights from this day
- typosquat_tay — unrelated but support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation i have never had a problem i could not resolve with… 14:40
- meniscus_mel — follow up better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago 14:42
- meniscus_mel — update from 23 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, i think 15:06
- batch_bandit — does factory direct actually mean anything 15:28
- batch_bandit — my first order from SWB was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved 16:36

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
right so how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
paperwork is worth it
coming back after 21 months, who has changed for the better
unrelated but support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
