Highlights from this day
  • taper_or_not — does factory direct actually mean anything 22:50
  • first_and_last_four — how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation 22:57
  • cedar_counts — slightly off topic but a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 23:30

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

thats a reseller

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

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

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

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

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

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

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

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

sorry to jump in how long does support usually take to answer

order before new year

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

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, n of 1 obviously

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

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

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

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

first order from KP, anything i should know

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

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