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

ask who makes it

per mg including shipping

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
my first order from SGN was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

genuine question the packaging from TFC was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

coming back after 16 months, who has changed for the better

three orders no issues

screenshot the invoice

unrelated but better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, someone check my working

update from 19 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

ok so is JEEP the manufacturer or a reseller

thats the synthesis house

thats a reseller

they slipped

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

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

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

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, i have it written down somewhere

do the arithmetic

first order from GL Biochem, anything i should know

who are people using for tirzepatide at the moment

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

Reminder set. I will post here in 2 days.

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

slightly off topic but has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for CPC

my first order from QYB was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

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

Purity check: no report on file for lot H-2814. Nothing logged either way.

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

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

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

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

how long does support usually take to answer

update on the earlier thing whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

they improved

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

my first order from FGP was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
