  • impersonator_ip — GL Biochem has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want 23:02
  • belfast_bac — is QYB the manufacturer or a reseller 23:08

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

GB

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

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

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

sorry to jump in coming back after 16 months, who has changed for the better

GB

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

follow up whats the minimum order like at HJ

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

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

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

[edited]

who are people using for retatrutide at the moment

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

NN

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, not advice obviously

anyone had fill consistency problems with QSC

OO

coming back to this reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

OO

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

is it worth paying more for better paperwork
i would order from BCH again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

PM

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate, not advice obviously

PM

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

PM

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

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

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

screenshot the invoice

my first order from Homopeptide was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

*VendorInvestigate not the other one

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

coming back to this the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

ask for a cold pack

thats a reseller

👀3🧊5📉4

slightly off topic but a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

II

GL Biochem has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want

🧪1💀11🔥12

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

is QYB the manufacturer or a reseller

option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mg
PM

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

three orders no issues

BB

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

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

BB

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

PM

thats the synthesis house

do the arithmetic

BB

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

[edited]

update from 20 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

ok so ask who makes it
