Someone told you to "go grey" and now you're here.

So I emailed Amolist and this was their confusing reply:

So basically if you order through Amolist there is a good chance its going through customs

What part was confusing?

It's confusing if you remember that 1 in 5 adults are at a below 3rd grader reading comprehension level.

Hey, this is our nice thread for new people.

Does RC stand for Research Chemicals?

Yes RC is Research Chemicals

Perhaps confusing is the wrong answer but rather vague. If I order from them I still have no idea on how to make sure it goes through a US Warehouse. This is important to me because I dont want to take any custom risks.

I mean, you can email them and request that your order be shipped through the US warehouse, then place an order? If they say no, then don't order from them. But I don't think any Chinese vendor will guarantee that your order will 100% come from the domestic warehouse. Even vendors with domestic promos sometimes end up shipping from CN because they sell out.

Ordering from CN = customs risk. It's as simple as that. You might try a domestic vendor, or something like Nexaph.

DHS and Customs are not going to knock down your door for a few peptides they dont have the man power at most they will take the pack and send you a letter saying they did just that.

ask the vendor before you place the order. do these products ship from a us warehouse?

Some people have more particular reasons to be concerned. You are correct that you are almost certainly not going to get into legal trouble, but there are other kinds of trouble that apply to certain people.

Vague is par for the course. Amo answered that way because they assumed your primary concern was shipping speed. But just tell them you only want something from the US warehouse. They are 90% likely to honor your request. If that isn't enough for you then you'll need to order from a group buy or a very small number of vendors.

Thanks. Amo replied more clearly and said no, in so many words

I'm sorry!


Due to the strict customs inspection, we have temporarily stopped sending goods to our US warehouse, and will resume gradually after the Spring Festival holiday.


Please understand!

Thank you for your continued attention and support to AMO!

Like the one who was speculating losing their Global Entry

Some people may also have federal jobs.

I don't think it happened to anyone here, I think someone knew someone on reddit.... I think if you search reddit you will find a few posts on it.

If you choose the vendor's preferred shipping method (not DHL) many will bulk ship to a US "warehouse" and then break down the shipment, add a label and ship to you. In these cases, your name/address will likely not appear on the product while it clears customs. If you pay for expedited shipping many of the sellers use DHL and I have heard about 10% seizure rate, but this from claims for others. Most will reship a customs seized shipment for free if you use their preferred shipping (some call it a "special line") but it will likely take a couple of months for you to get the shipment. Most will not reship if you don't use their preferred shipping or "special line".

Bottom line, don't use expedited shipping and ask the seller if they bulk ship through customs and have a reship guarantee.

Even the cosmetic GHK-Cu I bought from Anela's source on Aliexpress... it was shipped to Long Island, NY and then broken down and shipped to me. Not direct from China.

This is what i got from AMO after my order and payment cleared:

Under normal circumstances, we usually arrange to ship within 2 days after payment confirmation.


However, due to the customs inspection has been very strict recently (even stricter than usual this time of year)

In order for researchers to receive the research products more safely and smoothly,

New orders placed from now on will be shipped in sequence after the Spring Festival holiday, with an estimated shipping date around February 13th.



Please rest assured that we will closely monitor market dynamics and adjust accordingly,including the possibility of advancing the delivery schedule if feasible.



We are committed to handling every detail with the utmost care and rigor, and We will always be here to support you every step of the way.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience!

Thank you so much for your support of AMO!

Oh dear, I thought we had at least a few more days before everyone stopped shipping. They should have had that listed somewhere before you paid, they're one of the few places with a website.
