shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine
sorry to jump in anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 2 days

Verification log updated: SSA — evidence added, status unchanged.
did the compounders give any notice before they stopped
did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close, thats one data point
follow up a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 9 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, anyway
people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
supply steadied here
what happened to people who were on a compounded version
are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw, someone check my working
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
ok so i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise
whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
member reported figure
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation
coming back after 17 months, is supply any better in australia now
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
update on the earlier thing australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago
pbs is diabetes only afaik
transit was 21 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
