Highlights from this day
- manila_meniscus — slightly off topic but thailand and taiwan come up occasionally and we have almost no member reports from either, so i would not guess, i have it written down somewhere 11:51
- hydrate_hana — how long is transit within asia running 13:04
- bengaluru_bac — japan being expensive despite the approval is the pattern. approval sets the licence and the pricing system sets the price 14:14
- triple_ag_tom — korea has a clinic culture where this is straightforward to obtain, and members reported that as both a convenience and a concern 14:29
- seoul_swirl — language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once 14:33
transit inside the region ran 20 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier
summer shipping matters here too. i avoid july and august the way australian members avoid january
anyone had a parcel stopped moving between two asian countries
get it tested anyway
japan approved it
figures are from last year
how long is transit within asia running
