if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, thats just me
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GL Biochem, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
right so anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
✅1
unrelated but a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
anyone had fill consistency problems with GL Biochem
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
order before new year
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
whats the minimum order like at QYB

thats a reseller
they slipped
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate, ill dig out the number
ask who makes it
quoted lead time was 6 days, real one was 15. is that typical
three orders no issues
✅3
i would order from BCH again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
is SSA the manufacturer or a reseller
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

genuine question JEEP has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want
[edited]update from 6 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, thats just me
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
for the archive is it worth paying more for better paperwork
they improved
🧊1🤝3
not by dm
how long does support usually take to answer
ask for a cold pack
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for GGPeps
📉2
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, from memory
sorry to jump in is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
