Highlights from this day
- typosquat_tay — the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 13:07
- batch_variance — quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part 13:56
- VialBot — Assay note: SGN lot C-4402 reported at 97.4% of label content. 14:01
- amsterdam_aliquot — i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 15:36
- auckland_aliquot — has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for GGPeps 16:24
coming back to this 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

three orders no issues
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
unrelated but anyone compared QSC and WWB on the same compound
they improved
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

order before new year
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
😂5
i would order from HJ again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
ask who makes it
do the arithmetic

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
the packaging from QST was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
is QST the manufacturer or a reseller
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, we shall see
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
🤝17👀1
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
❤️11📈1💀2
ask for a cold pack

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
TFC has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for GGPeps
❤️18🤝2😂15
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
📈7
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, someone check my working
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, from memory
✅1👍1
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
whats the minimum order like at TFC

anyone had fill consistency problems with BCH

paperwork is worth it
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
how long does support usually take to answer
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

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