Highlights from this day
  • rezept_rolf — price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything 00:59
  • VialBot — Reminder for sol_sends: dose day is today. Set 3 days ago. 05:22
  • homa_ir_hugo — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with FGP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 05:45
  • dez_domains — no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries 05:52

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

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

update from 22 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment

RR

Homopeptide has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want

VL

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

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

VL

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

VL

genuine question anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

SS

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

VB

Reminder for sol_sends: dose day is today. Set 3 days ago.

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

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

FN

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

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