  • yyz_vial — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 21:41
  • cold_pack_carla — whats the minimum order like at CPC 22:23
  • cold_pack_carla — i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate 22:28
  • orfor_watch — price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything 22:49

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

PP

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

unrelated but my first order from WXT was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

thats a reseller

per mg including shipping

coming back after 6 months, who has changed for the better

⚠️1🔥9💀5

quick one quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 12. is that typical

AH

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

New independent result logged — MKM, lot D-0718, purity 99.4% (VendorInvestigate).

YV

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

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

coming back to this how long does support usually take to answer

NS

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

PM

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

sorry to jump in is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

weigh the vials

thats the synthesis house

😂1🙏1

they slipped

🎉218

is GGPeps the manufacturer or a reseller

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

who are people using for semaglutide at the moment

CP

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

CP

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

OW

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

OW

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

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
PP

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

CP

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

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

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

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

thats a reseller, ask me again in a month

ask who makes it

three orders no issues, thats just me

AH

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

PP

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