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

update from 4 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

AN

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

AN

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, for what its worth

order before new year

update on the earlier thing the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

FA

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

FA

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

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

slightly off topic but cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, thats just me

Digest for the week of 2025-09-16 has been published.

BB

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

is GGPeps the manufacturer or a reseller

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

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
