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

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
weigh the vials
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, not advice obviously
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
🤝7
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
how long does support usually take to answer
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
what packaging have people had from GGPeps
[edited]thats the synthesis house
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
thats a reseller
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
[edited]support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, anyway
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
sorry to jump in i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
QST has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want
anyone had fill consistency problems with SGN
option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mg🙏7
ask who makes it
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

anyone compared MKM and QST on the same compound
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
update on the earlier thing the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
[edited]nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
whats the minimum order like at JEEP
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
does factory direct actually mean anything
