Highlights from this day
- forty_units — follow up i have never had a problem i could not resolve with JEEP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 16:18
- group_buy_gwen — is TFC the manufacturer or a reseller 18:05
- salt_bridge — whats the minimum order like at BCH 18:36
- triumph_watch — anyone had fill consistency problems with BCH ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot 18:51
- sharps_bin_sid — i would order from WWB again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 19:28
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
do the arithmetic
sorry to jump in prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
right so what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
🧪2💀7🧊5
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
quick one price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
per mg including shipping
ok so has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WWB
ok so is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

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

three orders no issues
follow up i have never had a problem i could not resolve with JEEP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

quoted lead time was 2 days, real one was 14. is that typical
BCH has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want
🔥2🎉4
does factory direct actually mean anything
ask for a cold pack
first order from KP, anything i should know
weigh the vials
paperwork is worth it
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
how long does support usually take to answer
update from 11 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
for the archive i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
quick one my first order from HJ was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, happy to be corrected
Verification log updated: CPC — evidence added, status unchanged.

ask who makes it
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, still working it out
anyone compared QST and KP on the same compound
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
is TFC the manufacturer or a reseller

not by dm
📉2👀17
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
📉4🙏1😂17
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
whats the minimum order like at BCH
⚠️12🎉3😂16
screenshot the invoice
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
[edited]anyone had fill consistency problems with BCH
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
📈14🎉15
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
thats a reseller
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, still working it out
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
📈10👀5

genuine question order before new year
i would order from WWB again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
🧊10🎉6
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

unrelated but who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment
[edited]is it worth paying more for better paperwork
thats the synthesis house
per mg including shipping
📈12😂1
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
per mg including shipping
what packaging have people had from Homopeptide
the packaging from HJ was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
paperwork is worth it
they improved
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
they slipped
