so what's your general sourcing strategy now?

Have most of us not lost most of our target weight already and have enough supply in the freezer to tip us into anorexia, or is that just me?

Well, yeah, lol 😅😇🥹 5'5" and ~105lbs here. Have been maintenance since summer 2024 or so. 2.5/5 mg max doses of TZ.

"but still", keeping a stash of quality, reliable stuff feels infinitely easier or more in reach, when vendors remain available.

Kind of reminds me of the way it feels stashing "life-saving" "daily functioning" Nootropics over the years. For anxiolytic purposes and eugeroic survival day to day.

It just sucks and feels vulnerable when sources shut down or abruptly vanish from "the market" 😞😩😓🫨
 
Vendors are coming back from holiday...I have been planning a decent sized purchase. But the geopolitical environment seems to be quite a mess right now. It seems like there is increased seizure risk at the least, and prices will probably be going up if they really are collecting tariffs on all packages.
There's a rumor that raws prices have increased in china as well.

I'm starting to think we might not see Tracy again. ASC is also effectively dead and I think GYC is rebranding. and I've been trying to get some stuff from SRY but they are being pretty difficult to work with right now.

so what's everyone doing now? Are you trying to get your orders in asap before prices go up? Are you standing pat for a while until the dust settles? Who are you thinking you'll use in 2025 given the shakeup in the vendor landscape?

I am considering going through some of these group buys, because they reship from within the US, and it seems like they are able to get pretty good prices now because of the volume they bring in.
Wait wdym ASC is dead?? can you put me up to speed
 
I never had these problems with Hailey from SRY.
To be clear, I would be pissed off if they did not honor what they advertised. The worse they ever did was tell me something was in the US warehouse and only after I ordered and paid for it it did SRY tell me they were having warehouse problems. It took about a week before they shipped my reta. Exactly one week ago, during Chinese New Year, I ordered reta again. It arrived today.
 
SRY is a mess right now. Difficult to get in touch with and get valid responses. Wary about ordering from them. We need some clear direction with vendors.

Maybe wait and see is the best resort.
Have to agree with you. Place two orders with them from their US warehouse supply. Paid by bank transfer per their directions and payments went through. Got a image of a shipping label with tracking number three days ago. USPS shows label created, awaiting package. Contacted SRY Alan to see if he could check on shipment, nothing but crickets even though he's been online multiple times since I sent my inquiry. Not getting good feels with this, resigning myself to I probably got taken. I ordered from two other CN vendors who advertise their services on this board and again paid via wire and PayPal. Then hours later the Tariffs and shipment halting was announced. I contacted the vendors asking if this was going to impact shipment, and they assured me it would not. So instead of canceling the transfers, I let them go through. Money transfered to their banks, and crickets from them.

Ordered from more expensive retailers like Nexaph, got tracking info after the package was given to transport (ups), and items arrived in timely manner. Same with another US retailer (sent package FedEx).

I am learning the very expensive way that trying to source peptides from the lowest priced dealer can leave you cash poor and peptidless.
 
Agree with this. Trying to get a hold of them about an order I am waiting on from China. There are some sales reps active on discord, but mine (Lisa) is not. So I think things are really hit or miss atm. Caveat Emptor!
Totally agree. Now is not the time to try sourcing from any supplier in CN or associated with a CN distributorship. Your probably just going to lose your duckets and receive fairy dust in return.
 
I threw caution to the wind and did my “last run” today. If it comes in a month or next week, I am ok. Sort of an insurance for my pep hoarder brain. It was with SRY as Simo actually pinged me about the Alan announcement of price hike on Friday. I fell for it but I am ok with that.
You and me both.
 
I always love a salesperson who says he is not making money and only acts out of love.
Its less work and more lucrative to sell research peptides to fat Americans and Europeans than it is to sell used cars to fellow Chinese, but in the end your dealing with the same kind of salesman.

Buyer beware.
 
I have just under a year worth of sema if I was at full dose- I'm currently at the equivalent of .5/week, so I have 252 weeks sema. Just started cagri as an experiment, I have ~500 weeks at .125 cagri if I stick with it, and I took .04 today so I've got over 1000 weeks. I also have two kits of tirz30. I joined a GB for another 5mg sema kit, a reta kit, a survo kit, and glow (which I expect to be ~6-8 weeks before arrival. And if it doesn't arrive it sucks but I'm still good for quite a bit.) So I'm set for now. When amo comes back I'll probably consider them, but we'll see how things are. I was debating ordering sry while they have domestic.... but I have enough. I assume that even if things suck for 6mo to a year, I'll be set, and when things calm down I'll get more. Worst case, I trust Skye, and even worse case, I'm a member of like 20 discords, 10 telegrams, and a bunch of forums- I'll be able to find SOMETHING. I panic bought when the new political stuff and tariffs were announced and took the risk on the GB knowing I may be out the money.

Even if it gets hard, I'm pretty confident I'll still be able to get my hands on it- just maybe more expensive. It'll still be less than name brand. I'm bummed, but I'll live. It may end up sucking for people who are losing compound and want to go grey but their only option is domestic for a few months, but I'll be ok to wait it out.

I'm in the same boat. Don't laugh, but I literally found out about research peptides three weeks ago. Was paying $380 a month for a telescam doctor (who turns out is a dentist when I looked him up) and a compounding pharmacy to send me reconstituted Triz 40mg every month. I have lost 50lbs so far, and need to go another 60. But I have been at 10mg/week and not really lost any more weight in the last three weeks. Just yoyoing. So when I found out a 60mg bottle of Triz was going to be $430, I was getting tapped out. Then I got turned on to REALLY retail peptides. Man what a price break, but then I discovered "Grey" and realized even better savings when buying kits in volume. Then I came here through a google search, and I was like a crack addict in a coca factory. I went crazy ordering because like everyone else here, I was trying to buy it cheap and stack it deep. But it seems my timing couldn't be worse with everything that happened and these wholesalers getting flaky as used car salesmen with dandruff. Ordered Triz, Sema for my parent who is on it but can barely afford it now, and other stuff like Semax and Reta to use as a stack with my Triz to see if I can get a JumpStart over my weight plateau.

Just started hording a little to late.

I've been stalled for a month- lost 30lb the first three intentionally taking it slow, then stalled and nothing I've tried so far has gotten me lower than 195. I want to end up between 120-135 (depending on if I have muscle.) So I expect to need my hoard.

Poor timing indeed. Compound may go away and now grey may be taking a small break. You'll be able to find something, and it'll be cheaper than compound. It just might be more than the bottom of the barrel prices we got used to for a few months there.

I hear that. I started at 330 and am now at 280. If it wasn't for this peptide I would probably be 340 now. These medications are life changing. I never want to go back.
