Highlights from this day
  • fridge_six_two — my first order from BCH was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg 11:53
  • first_month_fi — a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 14:18
  • fridge_six_two — follow up i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate 16:36
  • group_buy_gwen — genuine question what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now 16:38

anyone had fill consistency problems with SGN

FS

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

FS

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

is it worth paying more for better paperwork

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

FS

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

coming back after 10 months, who has changed for the better

WT

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

WT

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

ask who makes it

FM

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, happy to be corrected

FM

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

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

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

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

for the archive i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

FS

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

FS

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

whats the minimum order like at MKM

GB

genuine question what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

do the arithmetic

update from 9 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

GB

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