for the archive BCH has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want

ZZ

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

CS

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot, i have it written down somewhere

three orders no issues

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

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

ZZ

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

SN

i would order from TFC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

CC

the packaging from HJ was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

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

TE

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

they improved

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

CC

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

CC

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

ZZ

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

SN

follow up update from 18 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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