the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was

Highlights from this day
- two_lifts_a_week — slightly off topic but i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft 20:26
- cagri_curious — temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide 20:38
- meniscus_mel — the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time 20:56
- cagri_curious — insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it 20:58
- VialBot — Verification log updated: GGPeps — evidence added, status unchanged. 22:44
pbs is diabetes only afaik
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
for the archive whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
transit was 4 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
as far as i understood it a year ago, the pbs listing covered the diabetes indication and not weight management, and that split catches people out
medsafe not tga
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
slightly off topic but i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft

nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation
two_lifts_a_weekslightly off topic but i do not order between december and february. that is my own…
people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide

what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
coming back after 6 months, is supply any better in australia now
update on the earlier thing tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time

quick one are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 2 days
[edited]summer is the risk

anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it
pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
how many gel packs is enough for an australian summer
pharmac hasnt funded it
check thats still true

the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw, still working it out
Assay note: QYB lot G-0641 reported at 97.4% of label content.
coming back to this several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you
does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight
australian pricing, whats a realistic monthly figure
the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise
while im here a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 9 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me
Verification log updated: GGPeps — evidence added, status unchanged.
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
update from 23 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
