Highlights from this day
  • taper_tess — i would order from WXT again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 15:45
  • bram_begins — quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, for what its worth 17:50
  • tenpence — the packaging from WXT was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 18:26
  • amylin_amy — how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation 19:21
  • month_six_me — i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate 20:43
LL

QSC has been consistent for me across 2 orders which is what i actually want

TE

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

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

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

is GL Biochem the manufacturer or a reseller

TE

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

LL

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

TT

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

HL

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

thats a reseller

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

*PeptideMeter not the other one

update on the earlier thing i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

RR

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

HL

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

HL

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot, n of 1 obviously

RS

update on the earlier thing if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

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

weigh the vials

[edited]

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

ask who makes it

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, for what its worth

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

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

💀1🧪5

order before new year

TT

update from 6 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

TE

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

HL

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

TT

coming back to this prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

AA

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

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

🎉10👀5
LL

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

AA

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

what packaging have people had from SGN

MS

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