Highlights from this day
  • batch_bandit — i would order from TFC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 17:53
  • tenpence — quoted lead time was 8 days, real one was 15. is that typical 17:56
  • evidence_or_not — the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 19:13
  • tenpence — prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice 19:25

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

BB

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

EO

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

SSA has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want

TE

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

whats the minimum order like at QST

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

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

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