SN

temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
transit was 17 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route

CC

the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel

BB

coming back to this any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years

CC

are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
transit was 8 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route

PP

anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it

three gel packs

check thats still true

PP

three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine

tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly

PP

anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to

PP

for the archive an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose

PP

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

PP

an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close

CO

coming back after 3 months, is supply any better in australia now

several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you

MM

the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024

MM

did the compounders give any notice before they stopped

CC

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

PP

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent

lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it

as of a year or so ago there was no nz reimbursement for weight indications at all, so check rather than taking that as current

clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in

did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in

powder survived

that was a year ago

anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
