so what's your general sourcing strategy now?

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!

I’m having instant success with ordering and communication with her (Lisa)on WhatsApp

Lisa has been responding to me on Watsapp as well. I ordered two kits of T40 and they showed SLC Utah and then were magically in New York the next day and the tracking says I will receive it on Monday. If they are here on time it will have been 4 days.

My order showed the salt lake city return as well, and then entered the system in New York too. The SLC return address is just a virtual office space and unit number. There is no product being shipped from that addy. Almost any origination information on a Peptide shipment is bogus.

I get a lot of free stuff from EBay because the return addresses don't exist. I tell eBay I want to return something, eBay sends me a return label, I send it and the tracking number gets activated. Ebay returns my money, and then 10 to 14 days later USPS sends it back for "undeliverable, address unknown"...

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.

I had a similar experience with Alan. Ordered with him before the holiday and he said he could not accept my payment as it wasnt sent F&F (venmo), but didnt mention this prior to me sending it. Took weeks to get the payment reversed. left a bad taste in my mouth
 
Thanks for posting this, Im going to give them a try. The alipay is key for me.

SSA is my goto right now as well. Ive ordered from them a few times since the Q drama and they seem to have decent prices, shipping and their tirz is effective. They also accept Alipay which means I don't have to dick around with a bank transfer or crypto.

Not blaming you, but for the future, pretty much no vendor will accept a payment that isn't f&f, to save you that headache again.

*Fixed. Thanks @GimmeABreak

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.

Can you assist me with a contact? I'm new here and trying to get some tirz and maybe semorelin to help me recover from a back injury and lose some weight that I gained as a result. Thank you

Do you already know how to use crypto? If not, are you willing to learn? Those answers will significantly narrow down your search.

I thought I was solid for several years with my ASC stash but all of a sudden I have family coming out of the woodwork that I kinda need to support and when you're handing out multiple T30 vials to multiple people it's starting to feel like it's going fast. And they're moving up in mg. I need to go shopping and this feels all risky again now that my beloved ASC has failed so hard. Definitely on board with Nexaph but I'm starting to like the idea of several kits of T60 at a great price from CN that I can just test and be done for a bit. I'd like off this rollercoaster. I think? Maybe I love the drama... and I have another 45 pounds to drop before I start thinking about maintenance. Boo!

nah, there is more, much more to life than this drama…

That’s where I’m at. I’m currently researching bpc-157 successfully. Trying to figure out how to add tb-500 to the mix both technically (how would it benefit me?)
and to reconstitute together with bpc-157 so I’m not researching like a pin cushion.

I've not reached my goal weight. Which is a conservative goal, and ~20 lbs heavier than I was at 18 (I'm 47). Which was already 20 lbs heavier than most height-weight charts recommend for my height. I've just always been heavy so I want to keep my expectations realistic, I am not looking for a bikini body. I just want to bend over to tie my shoes comfortably and live to see my son turn 30, 40 if I'm lucky.

I doubt most of us would tip into anorexia. I'm of the philosophy that obesity is a chronic disease, and will require lifetime meds. For me, anyway.

My heaviest was 250 for a 5’9” male frame. Lap-band got me down to 165 in 2007. Weight crept back inexorably to 190 and than lap band failed. Stomach stapled after lap-band was pried out of my body in 2018. Back down to 165 which I really thought was my natural go-to body weight. Weight crept back up to 195 until 13 months ago when I started Mounjaro. My life has been transformed. All health metrics are healthy…problems like BP, A1c, lipids and cholesterols, all back down to normal and I am now easily maintaining my new weight on 5mg Tirz at 145 lbs. I workout with weights to maintain muscle mass and I hike 5 miles per session 4 times per week. Brain fog/cognition significantly improved. I’m 65 years old and have the cardio health of someone closer to 40 or better. I have defined musculature and vascularity and a body fat percentage of 10.3%. I switched to compounded and then grey within only a few months of paying insane prices for Lilly. I’m grateful for their work and resentful of their predatory behavior. So…my response to your comment was really about “tipping into anorexia”. No…I don’t allow it…but I can see how it can happen or at least something like it in the sense of just not getting sufficient calories/nutrition and protein on a daily basis when the desire to eat is just sometimes non-existent. People absolutely must guard against the ability to lose too much weight at a certain point in this journey.

I'm so glad you're doing so well on tirz. All your health markers are excellent, congratulations! I do take your point about guarding that health against both extremes with proactive measures like weight lifting and watching protein/general nutrition.

My plan? Stop treating the “cheap” tirz I have in the freezer as replaceable and get my plan in place to better protect it from my friends and fam who didn’t stock up.

Lolz. Who am I kidding? I’ll be needing more, more, MORE!

Is it terrible that I told my friend I couldn't give him free vials anymore and now that he knows what he's doing, he can buy his own? Then linked him to Nexa and Skye and this forum and basically said go research and good luck?

Nope. Some people take comfort in getting it from a friend or paying more to a spa. Reminds me of all those people who bummed smokes who'd never buy a pack. Even worse would offer you a dime when smokes were $5.00! like dude... There's 20 in a pack, learn some math!

There's gonna come a day when all us well intentioned people are gonna get bit in the ass for being unselfish with our peptides. Somebody gonna get sued by a friend or family member even if we let them have it free! We're going to see it on Dateline and I'm not talking about the Memphis housewife. If your friend is too weak to order for themselves they'll also be to weak to say no to that attorney who says "have you been talking semaglutide or tirzepatide from a non FDA approved source? You might be entitled to a settlement"

Buh Bye and if you need anything else it's all online!

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.

The key question is how do find information on group buys? I plan on staying on peptides as long as needed but finding trusted sources is hard to find.

Use Peptide Groups Buys (PGB). My understanding from people who sound much more knowledgeable than myself is that they're about as close as you can get to a trusted source when you buy grey. Veterans feel free to disagree with me.

You are likely correct. But I've bought so much during the panic that I won't be making anymore GLP-1 purchases for a while. That reminds me: When I go to Costco, I better purchase toilet paper.

Is this the same PGB as the member pass people? I can't find their forums for info, only the price guide. A little confused on a few names there.

This is going to be my strategy moving forward. I was helping one person and now it's morphed into 5 and I'm kind of over it.

Except the price of toilet paper never came back down. I'm thinking of putting a pressure washer next to my toilet!

Hah. I have lipedema, nothing would shift until I started using Tirz last April. I have minimum 60 lbs to lose still and would love to take off more.. maybe 80-100… to see what I’d look like at a “normal” BMI…

Does tirz help lipodema?? Last I saw the only way to help it was physically removing the fat pockets! That's amazing!
 
Even I started thinking Tracy wasn't coming back. Love/hate him he was an important cog in the competition wheel. Of course I bought 2 T40 kits from SRY last night which still comes out to .51 cents a mg if the T40 is consistently 44mg per vial as they have been testing. Then he comes out today and says he'll be back soon. Oh well, we can still use him for the many other peps QSC offers.

Alan is like the "manager" of SRY, surprised things went sideways with him. He's usually the fixer. Hailey was my rep and "she" was on top of everything. Paid last night and got tracking today.

I just know that NOTHING worked until I started using tirz. I’ve switched to Reta, and still losing, so- it’s given me hope. I really don’t want to have surgery if I can avoid it.

Still waiting on a tracking number for a order I placed with Alisa two weeks ago. Last I heard from "her" was package was ready to be sent and the number would be sent shortly.

Then nothing. Same deal for Sigma Audley.

SRY and Ava Smith have both sent tracking numbers. Half my SRY orders are in my hands currently.

Make of that what you will. February 18th is coming up fast, and there is going to be A LOT of Triz users fiending for product when their weight loss centers and compounding pharmacies cut them off cold turkey. Sema is the next peptide for the FDA to kill from 503A and 503B compounders. That means even more fiends will be prowling Facebook, Instagram, and Google buying all that overpriced pep. We will be sitting pretty like Scrooge McDuck.

in other words, is there actually a good case to make for buying now rather than taking a wait-and-see approach? maybe the prices will go up and just stay there for a good while.

ZLZ is definitely not trustworthy. I know I get accused of having an axe to grind sometimes but it’s true in this case. Screw them. Personally got me and some friends for over 3k.

Anyway, I removed the review because it was a user’s first post ever and was reviewing a known shady supplier, very suspicious, not because the supplier was ZLZ.

Its a possibility.

Ailsa sent me a tracking number for my order. Looking forward to checking out HK Peptides wares. So far 3 vendors have followed up on my orders.

Sigma is now the only one left that is radio silent.

No one can predict prices with certainty. With that said, the prices of peptides generally have gone down over time. There are bumps along the road. If you have more than a year stockpiled, buying more is probably overkill.
