Highlights from this day

*Medutest not the other one
held for 21 days
being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe, i could be wrong
figures are from last year
anyone shipped from inside the region and had it take longer than from further away
the indian landscape is qualitatively different from research supply, it is a licensed pharmaceutical industry, and that is still not a guarantee about the vial you received, from memory
coming back to this is japan expensive because of the approval or in spite of it
