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

Highlights from this day
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

while im here update from 22 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for GL Biochem
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
right so i would order from GL Biochem again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
anyone compared TFC and SWB on the same compound
Verification log updated: SSA — evidence added, status unchanged.
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
do the arithmetic
they improved
my first order from WXT was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
for the archive does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with JEEP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

order before new year
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, from memory
coming back after 5 months, who has changed for the better
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
*Janoshik not the other one
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
they slipped
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
right so i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
first order from WWB, anything i should know
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
not by dm
whats the minimum order like at SGN
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, anyway
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

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

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
ask for a cold pack
[edited]quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
per mg including shipping
SSA has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want

New independent result logged — QYB, lot G-0641, purity 96.8% (Janoshik).
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
paperwork is worth it
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
quick one is WXT the manufacturer or a reseller

weigh the vials
