Unless they've got some kind of Star Trek transporter doohickey, they've still gotta get the stuff across the fence somehow, and airplanes and cargo ships are really hard to hide. Their distribution model up until now has been relying on the de minimis exclusions. Whatever additional costs they...

Ultimately, I agree. Unfortunately, I think we're in for a period of increasingly frequent supply interruptions, longer shipping times, and price instability. As others have mentioned, it doesn't seem like this latest move is specifically targeting products related to our hobby, but IMHO...

I suspect the situation is going to remain fluid for the foreseeable future. I don't have any international purchases of any kind planned for the rest of the year, so I won't likely feel the short-term impact (at least related to our hobby) like those who may need to acquire anything soon. I'm...

I stopped stressing over the things I can't control in the peptide space long ago in favor of focusing on things I can control like how many freezers to store my hoard I can plug into the same circuit before I have to hire an electrician.

Gag me with a spoon! I so miss the 80's, especially my 80's rockstar hair...

Petri dishes. Which are used to grow microorganisms. And a product demonstrating growth that should absolutely not be possible. Might help to ask the Google machine to explain TAMC and TYMC tests.

This was from a recent test of the Aqua Sciences "water" by one of the original testing groups that I am part of: (Shared with permission.) You can assume the other tests performed on this (and many other Amazon wonder waters) performed poorly as well.

Nope, I find it fascinating how GLPs can impact so many different parts of the body and mind.

That's the thing, I literally have zero desire for alcohol. I assumed that would change as I adapted to the side-effects of tirz and now reta, but it hasn't.

Before tirz, for 20-something years I was the evening cocktail guy 3-4 nights a week after work, and that stopped very shortly after my first couple of doses without really even thinking about it; I just realized one day that a few weeks had gone by since I had a drink. The big wake-up came...

Fortunately, independent testing having really become the norm rather than the exception has helped most reasonably intelligent people stay pretty accurate in their dosing. At the same time if I had my preference I would rather stick with vendors who have a history of hitting the mark with their...

Of the fill & finish ops, as I mentioned earlier there are a handful that will only sell to trading companies (or foreign vendors placing very large orders), and many may not even produce every single peptide so it doesn't surprise me in the least that certain products by a variety of trading...

Ironically, this mostly came about due to people complaining about their 10mg vial having 9.8mg and such. As the industry started to explode, "overfills" became the norm rather than accuracy. Everyone's drive to get the best bargain and ignoring the importance of trusting the accuracy of what's...

It sounds like there is some confusion among "most of us" since I'm aware of around a dozen or so suppliers ("factories") who are performing fill & finish production, but they are all sourcing their raws from 3-5 manufacturers doing the actual synthesis and purification.

It means what I said. If a vendor guarantees that "Batch # 12345" will test a minimum (for example) of 99.0% purity and -5%/+10% of advertised mass, and tests (whether individual or group funded) come back at 98% purity and/or -8% mass, and they honor that guarantee with either refund or...

Given that info, it certainly could be completely normal and innocuous. I suppose ultimately you have to decide if there is any risk, and if there is if that risk is worth it. Obviously my knowledge and experience are skewed towards what is considered normal in North American terms, and that...

For me, at around the 18-month mark I stopped losing weight, but I still felt a fair degree of appetite suppression along with things like having zero desire for alcohol, so while my body had definitely adapted in some way, it also was definitely still doing "something". Like so many other...

I originally started on OEM MJ before exploring alternatives, and continued to fill that script for several months even after I found "they way" (mainly to have them available for travel before I realized it doesn't matter). One of the first things I noticed was that often doses from...

I'm actually surprised there are any domestic vendors left that are even able to continue to accept card payments. Between Reddit Karen's filing disputes because they don't comprehend the nature of what they're buying, and the banks and card networks cracking down on research vendors...

Not the least bit surprising. If you look at the vendor requirements in the vendor connection section you'll see that one of the things they are required to disclose is what type of vendor they are. There are a lot of what they call "trading companies" (essentially resellers in English), many...

My experience is limited to the US and Canada, but normally payment of any taxes and/or duty due for a parcel does not involve a request for a copy of my passport or anything else (obviously that differs from duty and taxed levied at a border crossing, airport, etc. when clearing customs is a...

You are clearly better off sticking with a "proper" pharmacy. That's OK, the grey market isn't for everyone. Perhaps things could change somewhere down the road as you become more familiar with how things work when dealing with underground sources and gain a more realistic perspective of the...

I would ignore it and presume I'll never see the package, and learn to accept the financial loss.

Huh? Asking for or expecting medical advice from a salesperson seems rather peculiar, and if anything scares me, it's that anyone would. I don't expect the cashier at my local supermarket to be helpful or knowledgeable about food safety even though they sell raw meat and poultry products all...

It seems like Gemini is having a bit of a hallucination, perhaps relying a little to heavily on CSI and such for its info. 🤪 Full-scale federal investigations of individual consumers over their online shopping habits for small personal-use quantities are pretty rare, even for many sch. 1 or 2...

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing reviews as well as test results. Any time a new vendor appears on the scene it's always a bit of a risk and a waiting game to see how things are going to turn out. I'm also hoping that part of the transition to paid advertising is going to motivate...

Same here. Allergies are a funny thing to me. For my first 26 years on this planet, I had pretty severe seasonal allergies, but when I lost ~120lbs after my second divorce I also lost all allergies along with it which nobody has ever been able to explain to me. Even having put more weight back...

Amen to that. It really wasn't until after turning 50 that I've been able to stop caring about a lot of those kind of issues (to some degree at least). Appreciate the info. Now starts the monthslong internal debate over convincing myself to chisel open my 401k to that degree.

Don't be, and there's nothing wrong with lurking. I can't count how many forums I've belonged to where I never post but read and absorb things regularly. While a lot of questions have been asked, there are still countless ones that haven't, and mostly as long as your questions don't start with...

I've still got an old-school frame of reference when it comes to any kind of cosmetic surgery that if they need to cut more than 2-3cm it's a minimum of $10k. 🤪 I looked at lipo when I lost 100+ lbs the first time in '96 and the price back then was around $7k and they said I'd still probably...

I know basically nothing about HGH, IGF-1 or anything along those lines, but what I do find fascinating that's been brought up here is how a lot of conventional wisdom regarding injecting IM or SC seems to be under renewed scrutiny. A buddy who has been on TRT for many years recently changed to...

Part of me will always be fascinated by what kind of processes take place behind the scenes at big pharma companies making these kinds of decisions. I suspect it's pretty chaotic and and never-ending battle of countless "experts" one-upping each other's expertise and the biggest decisions coming...

There's definitely a lot less regular chatter about it for sure. I started Lipo C from Defy sometime around May of 24 and ran it for about a year. I never really noticed any major change or improvement to anything besides the vitamin B levels in blood tests being off-the-charts. I had...

I'm sorry, but every time I see KLOW my brain goes straight to KLOWN. 🤪 That's all, carry on.

I think a lot of it may depend on how the patent system impacts things. Obviously they will want to maximize their exclusivity window on every product, so I have to imagine they have entire teams of statisticians, financial analysts, etc. looking at every possible permutation to decide on the...

It's definitely a lot quieter here and across a lot of the peptide and GLP space since the beginning of August. It seems seasonal as I remember it being similarly quiet this time last year. I suspect between back-to-school, Labor Day, people getting in those last minute trips and vacations, etc...

I've honestly never even considered the issue of sterility regarding pens. I've always been a pen skeptic except for some very specific situations so that's probably why, but it makes me curious to see if there are any studies etc. suggesting an increased possibility of risk when using...

This exactly. IMHO, they are going to slow-walk reta to market in order to milk every last penny out of tirz that they can since it's almost guaranteed that the minute reta is FDA approved and available that everybody is going to want the new and shiny thing and demand for name-brand tirz is...

"Degradation" of peptides, especially GLP-1s, is usually quite exaggerated. A lot of testing has been done regarding degradation, and while there certainly are certain peptides more prone to degrading over time, GLP-1s are quite hardy (très fort). There will be occasionally be tests showing...

Looking great, congrats! That's actually surprisingly "affordable" compared to what I expected something like that to cost. Keep us posted on your recovery!

FWIW, anyone thinking about using Zelle for anything beyond small P2P payments between close friends & family should do a little more research into EWS/Early Warning Services, the company that owns and operates Zelle. EWS at its core is a specialty credit bureau that a majority of US banks...

Don't buy drugs with Zelle.

It's just a temporary status for vendors that are slated to be deactivated at the end of the month and are restricted from posting, nothing to worry about.

Real quick because I don't have a lot of time... For legitimate vendor problems and complaints, naming the vendor is fine, even for brand new members as long as it's not in the Introduce Yourself section. Brand new members (going entirely by post count, not join date) naming vendors in a...

No joke. A good friend who is American but married to a Canadian and lives in Quebec commutes back and forth to the states weekly got pinched for DUI back in 1976 still gets hassled every so often even though he's got a waiver from the Canadian govt and the charges in the US were expunged 20...

Most peptide vials are 3mL so 2mL of water is fine, and about the max you'll want to try to get in there while leaving room for enough air to keep draw resistance under control.

The CBSA in Canada has a slightly different priority list: 1. Collect duty and taxes. 2. Guns. They really don't like guns (but will still collect duty and taxes on them). 3. Consumer products. (That 80" TV that was half price in the states? Yeah, they'll be collecting duty and taxes on it...

You're conclusion is likely correct. In all of my air travel, and the countless amount of time I've spent in TSA lines, I've never seen anyone specifically hassled for having syringes and vials. Guy I used to work with a few years ago was type 1 and always traveled with insulin and such and...
