nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it
dont order in january
ok so clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in, your mileage will differ

the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was, from memory
powder survived

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

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