Do different companies truly share the logistics for domestic shipping or is it always the same company?

[dogmom]

I ordered from a vendor here, ZZT, I noticed their package came out of Fontana, CA via fedex. I did some searching and see where SRY also has packages that came out of Fontana via fedex. I was really trying to avoid dealing with SRY do to some bad stuff I've read on Meso. So basically I'm wondering did I end up buying from that same source anyway?

I know a lot of these 3 letter companies claim they aren't related when they truly are. I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on that. Or am I being paranoid.

I don't think you're being paranoid. It's reasonable to doubt the distinctions between companies.

a lot of the SRY vials have SRY embossed in the vial cap. take a look.

it could be that they are different manufacturing sources but partnered with the same forwarder in fontana. or even 2 different forwarders in fontana.

I've had 2 grey orders to Europe from 2 different suppliers - both had similar (format) tracking numbers, both landed in the same airport in same import country - the 1st one took 24 hours to be redirected on a plane to my country - the 2nd one took 13 days with no updates. The 2nd one was QSC... who I think might be using the same logistical safe route as the first supplier, just much much slower - which I assume is because they didn't pay for the fast route in order to keep their prices down (and they were significantly cheaper than my first order).

Basically my theory is that they are independent of each other but many of them might use the same third party customs dodging logistics, and that third party has different levels of service which they can pay for, or not.

(edit: the packaging / stealth was also very different between both orders)

Can you post a picture? I've heard this but never seen it. I have a few sry kits too and they have been regular flip off caps

I definitely don't see that on mine.

So anyway I opened my package. It is clear tops red crimp. Seems to be different than what SRY is selling now for Reta 10mg, which I believe are orange caps. so maybe it isn't exactly the same manufacturer.

Really ? I’ve dealt with them a few times and everything went really went paid on Sunday 12/29 and received 1/6 would of had it earlier without new year and did another 1/1 and it will be here ny by Friday and all the testing I’ve seen have been good even with people own third party that I have linked with.

I'm sure the way we as users shop around vendors, these vendors shop around manufacturers to find the best deal. I don't doubt that two kits from SRY or ZZT might have come from two different manufacturers

All of the vendors claim they are manufacturers or finishers, but from zero peptide case it looks like the majority of them are just distributors/resellers.
Why would they claim to be manufacturers?
So that the buyer doesn't try to find the actual manufacturer with better pricing.

Most of the vendors and GBa are reselling finished products. A minority may be renting production lines for their own batches.

I believe many of the actual manufacturers would prefer not to deal directly with the public in order to minimize the chances of being caught. However, the vendors know that even if the manufacturer refuses to deal with the general public that buyers will believe they're getting a better deal if they believe they're buying directly from a manufacturer. It's kind of like products being labelled for industrial use or commercial use; sometimes you'll see such a product that you can be confident no professional would use. However, such a label helps sell the product.

i believe posting pictures is discouraged but there are plenty posted by Krysia on the other big forum, the mentioning of whose name is also discouraged.
