QH

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

what does a month come to in singapore dollars

SS

ok so is the korean clinic route cheaper than a pharmacy elsewhere

whats the position in taiwan or thailand, anyone at all

SS

singapore handles personal quantities of prescription medicine under its own rules and i would not try to summarise them from memory

language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once

korea is fast

QH

while im here japan being expensive despite the approval is the pattern. approval sets the licence and the pricing system sets the price

HH

for the archive being closer to the manufacturing does not shorten customs. my parcels from three hours away took as long as ones from europe, we shall see

MM

anyone compared a japanese pharmacy price against a private clinic in the region

is it easier to get seen about this in korea than in europe

HH

customs inside asia caught my parcel once in four years. that is my rate, not a regional statistic

HH

getting seen in korea was faster than any route a uk member described at the time we were both describing it, i think

HH

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

as of about a year ago korea had the shortest path from deciding to starting of anywhere members here had described

slightly off topic but hong kong members reported both clinic and pharmacy routes and a wide price range between the two

does anyone in hong kong want to compare prices

a parcel of mine was held inside the region and released after 11 days with no letter and no charge
