Highlights from this day
  • food_noise_off — getting seen in korea was faster than any route a uk member described at the time we were both describing it 10:34
  • food_noise_off — being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe 10:58
  • manila_meniscus — follow up i keep the compound name and the dose written in the local language in my phone and it has been more useful than any app, we shall see 12:04
  • seoul_swirl — is anyone here avoiding summer shipping the way the australians do 12:15

language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once
i treat a claim about an indian generic the way i treat any claim about any product. get a lot number and get it tested

hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two

i was wrong about japanese pricing by a factor of two when i quoted it in here, because i was quoting a clinic and somebody else was quoting a pharmacy

held for 16 days

update on the earlier thing is it easier to get seen about this in korea than in europe

FN

thailand and taiwan come up occasionally and we have almost no member reports from either, so i would not guess

korea and the clinic culture, is it as easy to get as people say

being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe

singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only

diabetes indication only

closer supplier, fewer flight hours, same number of customs steps. the steps are the slow part

as of about a year ago korea had the shortest path from deciding to starting of anywhere members here had described

how do people handle the language side with a local pharmacy

is anyone here avoiding summer shipping the way the australians do
