Is anyone else really overwhelmed about where to get ret from?

[sheilarae74]

I was like that. So much anxiety. I spent weeks researching and finally I was like "fuck it" and picked one that had a low shipping threshold and halfway decent reviews and COAs. I think I did OK. They really know how to get their stuff through customs and I've already made it through one vial and didn't die.

Read the vendor reviews in here, focusing on the ones who have been around for a while. Put them on your shortlist. Then search the forum for other mentions of the vendors on your shortlist. See what people are saying in the discord and TG groups. Check vendor-provided COAs and see if there's a group test going on that you can join. After you've reconstituted, check that the solution is crystal clear and gel-free. If you're still suspicious, filter it. Inject a tiny dose and see how your body reacts over 24 hours. I'm not sure there's much more you can do beyond this.

I kind of feel like peptides suck you into buying or hoarding them as much as possible because you can’t imagine living without them. It’s a new addiction.

Nom-Nom-Nom-nom

And if you have never ordered for shipping direct from China before, maybe use a domestic vendor or a Chinese warehouse (if they are truly in stock). Unless you will not be on pins and needles for a month.

My first order from China was seized (last summer), but it was just a half kit with a group buy. Reshipped fine.

Do they say in vendor names if they are us based are they not here, or what?

R30 or above? I only ask since some of the R10, R15, and R20 seem problematic lately with getting cloudy with Hospira, with some vendors like GYC saying in advance that PBS may be required for recon. But I recently got some R10 from a no-name vendor (more for bulk/GB orders), and it was fine.

Outside of Uther and PGB, JEC seems to test well, from what I see, and I don't see any unusual complaints for them. No US warehouse though. They are on my radar since they are used by one of my GB groups. But not as much 3P for them for various things like endos and sterility, at least not over time compared to Uther and PGB.

Insane the reta issues the last monthish... now theyre selling tirz as reta. Gotta be intentional so they can sell ya R30 for 180 thats T30 and goes for 90.... so glad im done buying, cept for ss31 and mots. Wasnt always this ridiculous....

Not in their names. Check out the vendor sections and most of the time they will have it in post titles.

Incidentally, the current GB price is $60 for R10, and as low as $120 for R30, including testing for endos and sterility. But for my reta collection, I have been eyeing single vials of reta too, such as by PGB, Uther, and Lobster.

Mr. Calm Logic... How does one get in on that sort of thing?

Even just one invite to a GB group on TG can open a lot of doors since some of the GB groups have a section where they post invites/promos for other GB groups.

How to get the first invite: make friends with peptide people on TG.

I know they're more expensive, but Nexa is about as legit as one can get, no? Seller testing, third-party testing, all-the-bells-and-whistles testing opportunities, and if you pay attention to the pre-sales it's not too too crazy in price.

Lobster Reta/tirz score pretty high and it’s available for around $112-$127 for R30/T60

You will pay top dollars for Uther and PGB

But again stick with the quality and you still buying cheaper that anything elses

What is lobster??

Barn 40mg Reta came back cloudy for me today - tested well with Freedom, ran through a filter and it came out crystal clear.

I feel like there are so many vendors, and it’s hard to know what to trust and which one to try and which one has the best safety record and actually works. It’s also hard because you don’t really know who’s trying to sell you into a certain one. What’s the best way to navigate this?

Trust no one, but at some point if you want something you’ll need to RISK something.

Read a LOT on these pages, hours of it is there for you to do your own research and due diligence. I’m relatively new at this and have made numerous successful purchases, all frought with peril and inches from a door getting kicked in by jackbooted thugs…

Oh wait, that was just going to church during COVID. Seriously, read a lot here and dip your toe in to the depth you’re comfortable.

Happy researching!

I really liked the criteria I used for who I was willing to buy anything from. It meant there were very few vendors I could buy from, but it also meant I was excluded from a lot of risk factors:

1. Has US warehouse

2. Has been around for at least one year

3. Has not had any scandals in the last six months

4. Has never had a major scandal that was not resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the buyers involved

5. Has been good about answering buyer questions in a public space

6. Has never had a fight or a meltdown with buyers in a public forum

7. Has a reputation for reshipping seizures or replacing without a fight if a group test comes back bad

That's the list I felt comfortable with when I was buying a lot last fall. It meant a whole lot of reading with money burning a hole in my pocket, but I'm interested in Grey Current Events and Grey History and read them like the tabloids, so I didn't mind.

Still my goto.

I hope it's legit. I just got in on the gb for some R30.

Do I need premium TG in order to find peptide friends? Struggling as I cannot search with standard membership. Or do I find GB from somewhere else and get their TG info from another forum?

People call me stupid for not using crypto and using vendors here, but I would not want to be on the customs list.

I know a few "research" chem vendors that have been good for me.

Why do you think customs make a list of people who purchases little amounts of peptides? Only big concern of customs is getting as much as possible import taxes and customs fee. Your health or whatever you do to your body is not their concern. If they occasionaly catch it, it will be lost. That is all. Declaring something else like fooding supplements for instance and paying some customs fee make it a smooth customs clearance. Big problem is nobody doesn't want to pay any cent extra and that makes suppliers build unusual methods to bring their goods through customs. I have ever ordered €650 value peptides from a pharmacy on Indiamart. Was shipped with official customs clearance documents as vitamins and fooding supplements. Paid €25 customs fee. Delivered after 3 days at my door by UPS without any issues. I could track the package from beginning to the end even at customs stage.
