  • verify_or_dont — did anyone get stopped at the border bringing it back 23:04

insulating against cold is the same kit as insulating against heat. the pack is a buffer in either direction

YV

update on the earlier thing coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another

slightly off topic but quebec seems to be different again, is that right

postal handled winter better than the courier for me, mostly because the courier van sat outside for hours

does anyone hold their orders between december and march

TT

has anyone compared a canadian pharmacy price to an american one properly
i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine

is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial

TT

any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them

TT

an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose

PP

a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that

RR

quick one the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly

canadian pharmacy pricing was well below the american equivalent in every comparison members have made in here

did anyone get stopped at the border bringing it back
