i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner

Highlights from this day
- swirl_not_shake — the pharmacist i asked was straightforward about supply and had no idea about anything else, which is fair enough 12:17
- pbs_pip — slightly off topic but lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it 12:47
- ollie_orders — tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are 16:38
- pharmac_pen — is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private 17:48
- pharmac_pen — nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote, your mileage will differ 19:23
supply steadied here
update on the earlier thing how bad is the heat problem in january really
slightly off topic but are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
pbs is diabetes only afaik
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close, ymmv
is there a temperature controlled option worth paying for into australia
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

did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
sorry to jump in i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 99.2. one vial, one result
as of a year or so ago there was no nz reimbursement for weight indications at all, so check rather than taking that as current
what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
sorry to jump in people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
transit was 5 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
three gel packs
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago
is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in
check thats still true

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are

shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
what happened to people who were on a compounded version
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft, for what its worth
is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
