Highlights from this day
  • travel_cooler — follow up i treat a claim about an indian generic the way i treat any claim about any product. get a lot number and get it tested 18:44
  • manila_meniscus — hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two, anyway 18:53
  • travel_cooler — i was wrong about japanese pricing by a factor of two when i quoted it in here, because i was quoting a clinic and somebody else was quoting a pharmacy 18:59
  • manila_meniscus — customs between asian countries has not been noticeably easier in anything members have reported. each border is its own border 19:15
  • gip_glp_gil — getting seen in korea was faster than any route a uk member described at the time we were both describing it, take that with a pinch of salt 20:24

being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe

GG

japan approved it a while back didnt it, what does it cost there

TM

the carrier matters more than the distance, and that is the thing this channel took two years to agree on

TM

summer shipping matters here too. i avoid july and august the way australian members avoid january
