- acetate_ash — TFC has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want 21:23
- food_noise_off — minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 21:24

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 mgdoes factory direct actually mean anything
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

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