Highlights from this day
  • cedar_counts — i would order from HJ again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 20:13
  • cedar_counts — cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times 20:19
  • reship_rita — sorry to jump in what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now 20:55
  • reship_rita — the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one 21:04

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

VB

Archive lookup: per_mg_pete first appears in this channel on 2025-08-23.

LL

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

paperwork is worth it

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

TT

update from 17 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

RR

sorry to jump in what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

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

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, take that with a pinch of salt

DT

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

RR

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

who are people using for retatrutide at the moment

*Janoshik not the other one

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

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

TT

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

ask who makes it

BV

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with TFC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

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

BV

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

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
SS

order before new year
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

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

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

LL

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

SS

for the archive SSA has been consistent for me across 7 orders which is what i actually want

LM

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, ask me again in a month
