  • two_lifts_a_week — i tracked my fridge through a heatwave and it held. the parcel in the van is the part that does not, powder survives heat better than solution 19:01

carrier comparison a hot parcel of lyophilised powder is usually fine. a hot parcel of solution is a different conversation

pbs question three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine, that was 7 days

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

CP

has anybody kept a buffer of stock and found it worth the fridge space

approved is not the same as available and the two have been out of step here for a long time, powder survives heat better than solution

pbs question date your data point. a customs experience from two years ago is history, not information, one route, one carrier

AA

summer shipping again i keep six weeks of stock as a buffer and the fridge space is worth it every single summer

TL

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

a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 3 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, powder survives heat better than solution

TL

pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately, research use only, not approved for human use

TL

ordering ahead this year the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time

TL

do nz answers ever transfer across or is that always a separate conversation
