Highlights from this day

  • typosquat_tay — is WWB the manufacturer or a reseller 13:49
  • plus_sixteen — first order from WWB, anything i should know 17:11

SSA has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want

RR

i would order from SSA again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

slightly off topic but quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

FA

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

LL

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

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

quick one is it worth paying more for better paperwork

LL

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

VV

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

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

VV

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

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

anyone compared QSC and HJ on the same compound

TT

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

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

TT

update from 23 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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

AA

the packaging from QYB was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact, ill dig out the number
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

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

AA

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

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

PS

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

RR

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

first order from WWB, anything i should know

😂12
VV

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

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

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
i would order from BCH again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

quick one they improved

FA

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

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

LL

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, someone check my working

VI

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