unrelated but prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
thats a reseller

thats the synthesis house

i would order from MKM again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
what packaging have people had from Homopeptide
ask who makes it
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
per mg including shipping
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for SWB

coming back to this minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, not advice obviously

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

quoted lead time was 2 days, real one was 11. is that typical

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with Homopeptide, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
ask for a cold pack
😂7❤️6🤝15
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
screenshot the invoice
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

sorry to jump in nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
coming back to this coming back after 12 months, who has changed for the better

they slipped

three orders no issues
update on the earlier thing update from 18 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

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