Highlights from this day
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
is QST the manufacturer or a reseller
📉6
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
quoted lead time was 3 days, real one was 18. is that typical
ok so does factory direct actually mean anything
they slipped
for the archive if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
right so better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
🧪9❤️1
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

[redacted at member request] · archive policy

sorry to jump in the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, not advice obviously
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for GGPeps
three orders no issues
🎉4🧪8
for the archive cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
ask who makes it
order before new year
do the arithmetic
weigh the vials
💀1⚠️7🙏2
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
thats a reseller
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, we shall see
✅2💀12🙏1
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
what packaging have people had from Homopeptide
thats the synthesis house
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, from memory
🎉2📉2📈12
ask for a cold pack
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, ask me again in a month
🤝16
i would order from SWB again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
[edited]screenshot the invoice
paperwork is worth it

who are people using for tirzepatide at the moment
whats the minimum order like at SGN
👀18📈1⚠️11
quick one prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
per mg including shipping
update from 12 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
not by dm
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
anyone had fill consistency problems with WWB
👀11⚠️12❤️1
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
Digest for the week of 2025-06-19 has been published.

my first order from CPC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
❤️6🤝2
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with BCH, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
Homopeptide has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want
per mg including shipping, ill dig out the number
⚠️17
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
anyone compared SGN and ERP on the same compound
coming back after 4 months, who has changed for the better
how long does support usually take to answer

Recon calculator: 30mg in 0.5ml = 5mg/ml.

update on the earlier thing they slipped

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
thats the synthesis house
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
order before new year
