Highlights from this day
- chain_of_custody — Homopeptide has been consistent for me across 7 orders which is what i actually want, i have it written down somewhere 16:30
- batch_bandit — cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from… 19:00
- vial_ledger — does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer 20:28
- vial_ledger — the packaging from BCH was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 21:54
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
they improved
per mg including shipping
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
for the archive anyone compared JEEP and CPC on the same compound
[edited]follow up the packaging from TFC was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
do the arithmetic
whats the minimum order like at WXT
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
weigh the vials

order before new year
🔥16🎉10
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries

Inter-lab diff for lot H-2814: 98.6% vs 96.8%. Within expected range.
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
thats the synthesis house

😂1📈1🔥10
ask who makes it
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QYB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, i think
ask for a cold pack

screenshot the invoice
while im here update from 24 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WWB
what packaging have people had from GL Biochem
thats a reseller
first order from GL Biochem, anything i should know
i would order from GGPeps again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
Testing queue: 5 submissions open, 76 awaiting dispatch.

three orders no issues
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
how long does support usually take to answer
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, still working it out
quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 16. is that typical
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
paperwork is worth it
not by dm

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

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

they improved, happy to be corrected

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