deciding how much to buy the very first time

[jperiod]

I'm getting ready to order my very first peptide. Should I order just one kit and pay shipping in order to test it all out? Or go for it and order more, especially if it saves shipping (looks like shipping would be 50% of the cost of one kit)? I was thinking of ordering 3 kits since my husband and son will likely want to try too. I'm pretty set on reta 10mg vials since I plan to go low and slow.

It entirely depends on your finances, interests, and purview.

I basically never plan to pay for shipping if I’m paying retail pricing with a moq to get free shipping.

im in the same situation. i was planning on basically getting a lifetime supply right out the gate as to offset the shipping aswell as the testing costs rather than buy a couple pay shipping and testing.. buy a couple more, pay shipping and testing etc

Unless you’re one foot in the grave, buying a lifetime supply out of the gate is more aggressive than I’d be, but hopefully I’ve got 40 decent years ahead of me.

I do have an order in for 7200mg of Tirz, but that’s not even a decade at 15mg/week, but it will be a decade if there’s a 10% overfill.

I just hate paying shipping. I'm so cheap. 🤣🤣
I will probably go over $300 anyway so it probably won't be a problem.

im a low dose person/hyper responder/uses it as a tool rather than rely on it. that 7200mg basically would be a lifetime supply for me lol. that kinda skews the idea of doing a one and done order in my favor. get in, get my meds with some extra, maybe order a couple kits of the other glps and get out of the game lol

I mean if you think your going to be splitting between 2 or 3 people, you might just consider doing 2 r20’s or r30’s instead. Cost per mg drops quite a bit. Just recon 1 at a time and pull all the pins from one vial.

As much money as you’re willing to lose. Prices trend lower over time. I buy a kit or two here and there. I don’t buy a lot at once. It’s a hobby. I enjoy the process I guess

I would order just one kit first. That way, you can test it out, see if it works, check for any side effects, and see whether the vendor is reliable. You can always go nuts on your second order. What's the rush?

 

[latviantower]

Order from a vendor with a US warehouse like MIX. You’ll pay maybe $20-ish more per kit but get free shipping with 2 kits, and no delays or customs issues.

As others have mentioned, for 3 of you all on reta, 30 mg probably most cost effective.

You guys are buying kits? I prefer to wait until summer, for prefilled syringes shipped to the Phoenix area. That way they arrive already at body temperature.

OP- I think that this is really good advice. What's the rush? So if you pay a little bit of shipping costs on this first order, it's still way less expensive than anything you could get in the brand/compounded market.

Keep in mind that a significant number of people are unable to tolerate glp-1 medications and/or don't respond to treatment at low doses. So, although your plan is to go low and slow, you might need to titrate quicker than you plan to gain the benefits or you may not even be able to tolerate the medication. Lots of unknowns. Get a kit (1), try it out on you and your family, before you double down on a major order. I agree with others that R30 makes more sense.

I started with single vials, well 2 singles twice to see if we liked it, we do. Found this place and well, I'm good for a while with 72 vials of Reta, but have seen few GB that tempt me. I should add up the MG's, because I have varied sizes from 24 mg to 60mg. As mentioned above, I don't pay shipping either. I order enough to get free shipping, or there are a handful of US places with cheap shipping.
