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

ok so anyone had fill consistency problems with GGPeps

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SSA, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, n of 1 obviously

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

ERP has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want, happy to be corrected

cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, still working it out
update from 26 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

for the archive my first order from BCH was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, happy to be corrected

first order from WXT, anything i should know

paperwork is worth it

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

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

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

do the arithmetic

slightly off topic but how long does support usually take to answer

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

per mg including shipping

ask who makes it

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

screenshot the invoice

anyone compared MKM and TFC on the same compound

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

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, i have it written down somewhere

not by dm

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

update from 13 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

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