coming back after 25 months, who has changed for the better
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

EE

follow up nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

EE

right so does factory direct actually mean anything

not by dm

how long does support usually take to answer

🧊3

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

MM

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation, ill dig out the number

EE

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with TFC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

EE

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

TT

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

🎉101
EE

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

TT

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

EE

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

TT

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

TT

right so a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

EE

who are people using for semaglutide at the moment

EE

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

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

MM

QYB has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want, take that with a pinch of salt

thats a reseller

ask who makes it

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