Highlights from this day

declared_value — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QSC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 18:02
declared_value — i would order from SSA again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 18:35
declared_value — reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying 18:51

ask who makes it

first order from WXT, anything i should know

what packaging have people had from TFC

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

weigh the vials

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

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, i have it written down somewhere

do the arithmetic

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, ask me again in a month

i would order from SSA again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

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

update on the earlier thing quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

ask for a cold pack

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
