If China gets shut down for awhile will India become a possible option

Funny that a negative portrayal of an entire country of a multitude of different behavior's, custom's, ethnicity's and culture is just a "personal opinion".

Because I am pretty sure the term for that is racism.
Anecdotal accounts are never justification to make generalizations about groups of people.

Thank you, I was starting to question if I was being a lil extra again.

you're never enough for me.:love:

i just think and agree with you, we should try and be nice to people who are providing life saving/changing stuff for us.

some people, especially the ones that work so hard, avoid any terms like money laundry wire/mail fraud. then people wonder why they don't want to sell to them anymore.

i mean when i bought my Mustang the car salesmen were trying to rape me as hard as they could. then turn around and want me to fill out a survey for Ford on how wonderful they were. somehow we don't have any problem with that shit.

Flattery will get you nowhere, sir. Want me to tone police you, too? Or... Vernacular police?

Vendors can see every little thing we post about them 😂 This forum isn't secret. I'm surprised Cain still sells to me at this point. We talk shit about all of them.

But I'll buy from India, I'll just research who I'm buying from first.... Just like I do now from China. I'm at the point I'm debating placing an order with sry now that they're back 🤷‍♀️ Eating my words from like, an entire month ago.

You are an expert and I do read what you write every time I can.
 
I am with you. Indians are just more….scammy
I'm not aware of any one ethnic group being more dishonest and less trustworthy than others. If I was aware of one, I'd say so. I do not believe having a belief about an ethnic group is necessarily racist per se. For instance, every now and then someone would ask about what's to keep a Chinese person from placing cyanide or some other poison in our peptides. I figured that is something that an American would be more likely to do than a Chinese person. Am I saying that there is any significant or biological difference? Not at all. If I was raised in China, I'd likely be an acculturated Chinese person and have similar value. Still I haven't noticed any dishonest on the part of Indians more than folks in general. They do have a way of being overly polite in a way that gets a bit annoying. But that's not an issue of character or morality.
 
I’ve been to India 4 times for work, and have had countless business and personal interactions with them. While echohunter was not very articulate, what he said was and is objectively true. I don’t think he was being nasty. Speaking of nastiness, anyone else ever been to India? It’s horrible. Don’t go.
I know two people who went there and spent two months there. They loved it.

I don't have any objection, in theory, to disliking a particular way that people from a country act. Folks in Guatemala love their children. however, when I went there for 3 months in 2000, Guatemalans who were wealthy enough to drive cars wouldn't use car seats for young children. I thought that was wrong. I loved the optimism of Guatemalans, however. I've never been to India although I hope to go there. The Indians I have known have been great people. When I went to Ecuador for a month in 2001, I didn't like the pessimism of the people. They tended to hate the US and complain about being poor. Granted, they were quite poor, but they people I heard complain were generally wealthier than the Guatemalans I had seen the prior year. In some societies, there is no such crime as rape of married woman by the man married to her. Although that used to be law in the US too, I have no problem saying that such a belief is wrong. My objection to calling Indian people scammy is not that one should say such things; my objection is that the complaint is wrong. I won't mention my own ethnic group other to say that I'm not Indian and my ethnic group has produced some of the greatest con men. Would I con you? I'm not good at business; I'm sure I'd make a terrible con man.

I have been to India at least 30-40 times over the past 15 years, I actually went 8 times in one year (wife was not happy).

I think there are scammers in every country/culture, but my experience with India and the people is they are hard working, respectful and most want the same things that we want, to make a better life for the kids.

Walking around the cities you will encounter people trying to scam you, but the same thing happens in NYC and any other major city. Also, when I say "scam", they want to get you in their autorickshaw so they can take you to the store their friend owns and pressure you to buy something. I would often rent a car with a driver and have the car (and the driver) for a full 24 hours for $50. While I was in meetings, he would sleep in the car. My office had a position called "office boy" (which is a real title) and the guy worked his ass off. He would do anything we needed (clean the office, deliver equipment, go to the store, make coffee etc) he made about $200 USD per month and was happy to have the job.
 
Sorry I rustled so many jimmies. Vast majority of online and telephone scams are run by Indians, that’s a fact. That’s all I meant by saying they are more scammy. I didn’t mean to generalize it across all people in India. I am of South Asian descent myself, just not from India. My best friends in college were all Indians, so trust me, I am not trying to be racist against Indians.
 
Back to the original topic, will Indian replace China as a source for GLP-1 drugs? Let me suggest a third possibility: Yes, Trump's actions might make it far more difficult for Chinese vendors to export drugs to the US. Then those same Chinese vendors will then stay in business but they'll ship from a different country. They send their stuff to Honduras, for example, or some country that the US is not engaged in a trade war with. From there, the GLP-1 drugs will be make it into the US. The prices would go up, but probably not that much. Shipping might take longer at first, although once warehouses are set up in that other country and the vendors adjust, then things would pretty much get back to normal. Eventually customs might start focusing on Honduras. Then we'd continue ordering from China and but the drugs would come from vendors in Finland.

By the way, the most likely scenario in my opinion is that the whole trade war blows over in less than 8 weeks. That's a guess. If I'm wrong, I'll consider changing my profile photo to that of another gorilla.

You are an idiot. Nobody said a thing about “race”. Nobody said they hate Asians, which is what people in India are.

You are like one of those people who calls someone a “XYZphobe” if they don’t agree with or like a group of people, when a phobia is an “irrational fear.”

It is nothing more than bias and everyone has them. Even you, be it towards people who think India is “scammy” or whatever else hurts your feelings.

Now, before anyone gets butt hurt over me calling you an idiot, I hope they consider how you just wrongfully accused someone of being a racist!

It's the verbiage. "Indians are just more... scammy."

At least specify that a lot of the Indian pharmacies or vendors are scammy. Leaving it at just 'Indians' is a bad look. 🤷‍♀️
Looking at it objectively, there are many entire call centers in India dedicated to defrauding people. This is not false or inaccurate information. Maybe the original post should have stated they were predatory thieves to be more accurate and articulate. Note… I am not the person who called them scammy.
 
Who are you using that isn't off on holiday?
I don't know who Normal used. I ordered some R30 from Hailey a few days ago. Her response time was slower than normal for her; it is Chinese New Year. However, she still responded in about 16-20 hours. SRY's US warehouse is operating again. It's not closed for CNY.

Racism against Indians is quite normalized. I left reddit because of the same reason. Every time i ask questions related to peptides on reddit, my Dms would be filled with hate terms like scammers, stinky, roaches. These people defend racism by calling Indians racist and reminding us of caste system. One time some one commented I should drink cow pee and it got thousands of upvotes. it was in peptide subreddit, comment was deleted by mod but it shows how acceptable it has become now.

I agree. If the markets tank and/or inflation goes up, Trump will backtrack so fast it’ll make your head spin!
