Highlights from this day
- verify_or_dont — update from 17 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity 15:43
- vale_vials — ok so minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, from memory 15:45
- ten_percent_off — follow up price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything 16:24
- ten_percent_off — is KP the manufacturer or a reseller 16:56
- assay_not_purity — i would order from JEEP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, i think 16:59
for the archive does factory direct actually mean anything
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
how long does support usually take to answer
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
update on the earlier thing i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
anyone compared BCH and QSC on the same compound
update from 17 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
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🔥7💀5🙏3

quoted lead time was 4 days, real one was 18. is that typical
update from 15 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with BCH, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

they slipped
follow up price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

they improved
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, ill dig out the number
is KP the manufacturer or a reseller
💀5⚠️1
QST has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want
i would order from JEEP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, i think

coming back after 3 months, who has changed for the better
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg, i have it written down somewhere
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
order before new year
not by dm
[edited]three orders no issues
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
weigh the vials
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
thats a reseller, anyway
