Highlights from this day
  • pinch_not_stretch — is it worth paying more for better paperwork 21:32
  • split_shipment — i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate 22:11
  • split_shipment — for the archive does factory direct actually mean anything 22:30
  • mira_pins — the packaging from MKM was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 22:33
  • split_shipment — unrelated but HJ has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want, we shall see 22:39

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, n of 1 obviously

TL

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

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

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

they improved

RR

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, still working it out

TL

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

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

update from 6 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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

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

RW

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries

who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment

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

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, i could be wrong
