Got this today from one of my reliable vendors

[Nopenada]

I’m all for the vendors abundance of caution in these situations. That said, I’m planning a US warehouse panic buy as well.

Orders for which payment has already been confirmed, will be prioritized for dispatch once shipping resumes.

I always get a kick out of lines like that, implying a false sense of priority. You already expected to get priority over new orders (although perhaps that isn't a given). I guess it puts you ahead of all those orders where payment wasn't confirmed.

I would imagine there are a ton of people sitting and “waiting to see what happens”, not sending money for orders right now, until they all say “ok we’re all good, GO!” And then there’s going to be a bum rush of orders and likely some light chaos with order volume.

Personally I got in during the break- placed a 6 kit order. Can update on logistics next week if anyone is interested.

I think its the larger orders that are being targeted??? Food for thought!

Wouldn't a large order still fit in a shoebox or backpack?

Maybe I should clarify, freight forwarder large orders like the 5,000 orders seized a few weeks ago!

like cottage cheese last year having its moment due to stupid TikTok.

Last year is when the cottage cheese chaos got started, and unfortunately it's basically that content AND catching print that is all over the feed.

Has the shipping situation improved at all

How many days is a package good for during shipping? Upon arrival your goods should be refrigerated right? So, are they shipped with cold packs in the packing, and how many days does that remain cool enough?

There is no need for them to be cold, so they are not shipped with cold packs. Studies show that with lyophilized tirz there is little to no degradation even when left at room temp for long periods (6+months). You can go ahead and freeze them for long term storage, which can be kept for years.

Thank you for the quick response! Does the answer remain the same for other peptides besides tirz? Are they all shelf-stable at room temperature in the original containers?

Well beyond 6 months, we're talking 6+ years.

Yes

CNCC I know you know, but I just wanted to add a little more context for mama: yes, as long as we're talking about stable room-cool temperatures, stable low humidity, consistent low light/dark spaces. Depending on your geographic area, these factors may not be feasible without additional supplies. An actual sealed container is preferable (but not necessary), whether outside or inside of refrigeration, to help with all of these factors.

Theoretically, if a shipped package took a 5-10 days before it was received and opened, the product would still be good to conduct lab research with. Given dry weather and temperatures 40-60 F. This is my concern.

Yeah absolutely. I thought you were looking to actually store the product @ room temperature so I just wanted to throw those tidbits out there.

This crazy fella accidentally left lyophilized peptide vials in his garage for a decade at room temperature. When he discovered the stash, he tested it with his fancy equipment and found that it hadn't degraded all that much.

This is wild! I guess being available to receive my package on day of delivery is doing too much worry

Feels like every few weeks there is some new reason to panic buy and stockpile. I have seen at least a dozen in the last year alone. None have actually stopped or even slowed down the peptide supply coming in from China. I'm not saying that building up a stockpile is a bad thing, just that it is never necessary to panic buy. As long as there is a demand, China will find a way to supply.
