Anyone buying from HKFP (Fatcats) ?

[Jellybelly54]

Is anyone buying from Honk Kong FatCat Peptides? I placed an order 3 days ago but no response since them telling me they received my payments. I hope I haven’t gotten taken…again. Anyone’s experience with this company is appreciated. I’m desperately trying to start a long term, reliable relationship with a good peptide supplier for “my research lab”.

Who’s that? Sorry never heard of them. Hopefully it is legit. How did you get connected with them?

I haven't ordered from them specifically, but every time I've placed an order from CN it has taken at least 4 days to get a tracking #. The first couple of times I was checking everyday to see where my package was. I'd be so anxious when no info showed up for several days, but then they all got updated at once. Then it sits in customs for a while. I've gotten to where I just order and forget about it. I know that's hard when you're just starting out and eager to get going, but it's much better for your mental health if you can manage to.

True! I need to relax for sure. The first order I placed with a company I got taken for an impersonation scam so that has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Understandable

Don't freak out yet. Can take up to a week for tracking. Then the best part is the tracking doesn't typically work. Then one day tracking might update or you'll have a box of peptides on your door step...all this with a healthy reliable 2-6 week range.

So yeah, order and forget. Then be pleasantly surprised.

Got my shipping confirmation and a picture of the products shipping from HKFP . Yeah!!! They were out of the NAD and cerebrolysin I ordered so they switched with some CJC and Reta. Happy so far . I guess the time from paying to getting shipping info could have been a little faster but I’m an impatient individual. Now the 2-3 week wait for international shipping.

Updates: Fed Ex received package in CA today. Estimated FedEx delivery on the opposite coast is Nov 26. That makes a 17 day order to delivery date if all goes as planned. Not bad. Ella is rocking it so far!

Not necessarily. You're probably thinking of shipping info in the context of US domestic shipments, where a person walks in to the post office or a common carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc) and gets a tracking number when they drop the package off.

That's not how it works in China. Your tracking info comes from the freight forwarder who will insure your package gets on a boat.

Delivery complete! Everything looks as expected . Order placed on November 9. Delivered to my porch on November 28 in USA on the East Coast. Will be testing 4 vials for purity and content with a testing company in TX. (CJC , Reta, PT 141, Tirz) . I’ll post the results here in a month or so!

What do you mean? I don’t think this forum has a list or vets vendors.

The forum doesn’t vet vendors but there is a sponsored vendor section.

Correct.

Vendors here are essentially renting space at a flea market. Any vetting is up to each individual.

Vendors sponsor the forum. The forum doesn’t sponsor the vendors.

 

[TheUnNatural]

Yeah I get that. They pay to be sponsored, like a sponsored ad and it in no way means they are legitimate or reliable. But that section is a pretty much a list of vendors no? Assuming that’s what they meant by it’s one of the vendors listed.

I think YoYo was having a little fun with the fact that I am decidedly not a fan of vendor lists, particularly those which offer any kind of ratings or ranking.

I try my best to remind everyone that a vendor's status as a forum sponsor should never be viewed as an endorsement, recommendation, rating, or anything else. It only means that they paid for the advertising space, nothing more.

If a newbie (or anyone really) posts anything suggesting or indicating confusion in that regard, it's helpful (and appreciated) for other members to clear up that confusion straight away.
