Highlights from this day
- reship_rita — ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot 18:45
- declared_value — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 19:05
- impersonator_ip — cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times 20:08
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
my first order from SGN was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, i have it written down somewhere
how long does support usually take to answer
three orders no issues
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, thats just me
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
i would order from CPC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
[edited]who are people using for semaglutide at the moment
paperwork is worth it
[edited]KP has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want, ymmv
for the archive whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
thats the synthesis house
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
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for MKM
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
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 mgthey slipped
right so support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
do the arithmetic
[edited]i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
right so if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
what packaging have people had from WXT
ask who makes it
update from 16 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, happy to be corrected
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, ymmv
ask for a cold pack
thats a reseller
weigh the vials
is it worth paying more for better paperwork

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
ok so anyone compared CPC and BCH on the same compound
order before new year
coming back to this the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
coming back after 12 months, who has changed for the better
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
the packaging from WXT 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
right so i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
