the packaging from Homopeptide was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

who are people using for semaglutide at the moment

AL

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

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, thats one data point

ask who makes it

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

quick one update from 4 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, i think

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
update from 10 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 14. is that typical

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

per mg including shipping

thats a reseller

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem, for what its worth

WW

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

anyone had fill consistency problems with HJ

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
SWB has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want

BB

quick one minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

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

On this day 2 years ago this channel logged 16 messages.

they improved

SS

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

is QYB the manufacturer or a reseller
my first order from BCH was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

LT

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

ask who makes it

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

order before new year

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

PS

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, i think

🤝3⚠️6

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

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

what packaging have people had from WWB

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
PS

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

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

VB

Verification log updated: WWB — evidence added, status unchanged.

PB

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

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

AL

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SSA, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
