- pharmac_pen — a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 3 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me 19:39
the depot is the bottleneck. the international leg is usually fine and the last domestic hop is where it sits, regional stock is rare here
fridge held
checked recently and insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
check thats still true
telehealth experience transit was 21 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route, thats my reading anyway
a hot parcel of lyophilised powder is usually fine. a hot parcel of solution is a different conversation
ordered early, reporting tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know, member reported, and dated
good grief, order three weeks early
nz side, so the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel, happy to be corrected by someone more current
i keep six weeks of stock as a buffer and the fridge space is worth it every single summer, that was 25 days
wouldnt risk reconstituted
