These meds help so many. Many of us cannot afford name brand. EL's greed make things so difficult. Not to mention all the all the other goodies we get for inflammation and other health issues. All life-changing, for the better.

Those jackholes ended it for us. Big mouth fuckin Karen's that have no clue. Doesn't know to protect something everyone wants and so it's taken away quickly.texmexpep said:Hopefully this is more of a "scare" tactic than anything. I just can't see there being enough manpower to closely inspect every single item coming from overseas.
Still mind blown at how some people think blasting grey on social media was a good thing!

I hope screen all imports mean they have a screening process where they pick 50 packs a day out of 20, 000.... notice they said screen not inspect.

Screening could mean 8 people walking through a half mile long warehouse and tagging stuff that leaks, looks amateur, misspellings, weights not matching, stuff not claimed on customs sticker, packaging styles and sizes (about 3 kits), etc... so 600 items are tagged for further scrutiny out of idk 500,000... now it takes a 10 person customs team 2 days to inspect. I'm hoping sheer volume is the saving grace.dogmom said:

I watched TV show two nights ago "Contraband: Seized at the airport", a 2025 episode. Because they had a bunch of small boxes of same sizes, and a few other queues that made it suspicious, they opened some boxes. Saw labels with BT10, CU50, etc, in 2 part plastic trays for peptides. "research, not for humans.... etc". The CBP agents saw CU50 as Hyaluronic injectables, with no documentation. Because it was going to individual homes/apartments, and not labs, it was seized. "beauty stuff" in their comments. They had a van with a mobile scanner but was more to find drugs. They did not use a Gemini on the CU50 content. They were sending the lot to a centralized CBP lab, to be analyzed. They were inspecting UPS, DHL, mail, etc. I watch each week, and it was the first show where 'injectables' were the subject of inspections. Yes, possibly because the exemption was revoked. But CBP was not familiar with peptides, or the 10 vial trays commonly used.
Unless its a trademark infringement, class A drug, porn material, or whatever is on the hit list for that month, a lot of the freight will make thru. Until the boxes are automatically processed by a scanner, with some AI algorithm, they don't have enough staff to make a dent in the volume the forwarders are shipping. But your home address could be flagged for future imports, has some are reporting on other forums.

It’s two different groups. The crowd that filed all the PayPal and Alibaba disputes because they were half retarded and didn’t do any research. The same people who don’t know what a kit is and routinely ask reconstitution questions.Airborne Daddy said:
Then there are the simps on TikTok giving away every single secret on vendors, how to order, etc.
I hope they get f***ed and stay f***ed.

This has always been a possibility, and I assume anyone who got a CBP seizure letter had that happen, but apparently it doesn't. However, in the future I wouldn't be surprised by this happening. Another reason to always have a "AndyPanda" approved prepaided UPS store mailbox using a disposable EBay business name under your belt....TooBigtoFail said:

We have maybe 4 years before AI will be on it... when the patents run out everyone can sell it like with viagra. Unfortunately, greedy whores started out at 25 bucks a pill and now we're at 100 for 30bucks from china and im guessing US is down to 7 bucks a pill.... so we'll still pay 49.99 a vial.. what pill, powder, injection or implant will we have at that point to make all our stuff obsolete.TooBigtoFail said:

"This is the way...."Airborne Daddy said:
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported that de minimis shipments, valued at $800 or less and exempt from duties and certain taxes, totaled over 1.36 billion in Fiscal Year 2024, or over 113 million per month. This may go down after the change in the law, but it is physically impossible for them to scrutinize them all. Maybe a company gets tagged and has its imports prohibited. So, they start a new company until they get caught again. Maybe this will have some impact, but I don't see anyway they are going to stop it.leokitcat said:

I actually went backwards and started at the end of the season to find this. What a mistake. That show is PAINFUL to watch.
Its episode 3 at the 30:43 mark. Starts with some unlucky slob getting their Korean Botox confiscated (better luck next time MedSpa). Then they get to the boxes and boxes of peptides. Packaging looks like Ava/LSPL specials. Probably was LSPL product.
What's really painfully is how absolutely clueless the CBP agents are as to what they are handling/dealing with. They cut into stuff without anything other than exam gloves and N95s on at best. No PE gowns, no negative air pressure hood when examining easily aerosolized powders, just reckless abandon.
When you see CBP doing its utmost job while being filmed you will come to appreciate the fact that anything gets collected at all.
Watch here so you don't gouge your eyes out surfing this show....

This is why I have been telling ever creator I see to stop. And guess what, noone of them will stop. Clout chasing ruins everything. literally.StonePny said:

In 22 mins just now, I found 63 peptide posts from just the last hour on TikTok. It will be ruined soon. I am not sure what the port man power is like but the focus will be strong for a while now that they have turned their interest to it. I wouldn't be surprised if all oof the TikToks start getting flagged, which would be great! But until then, I would estimate that if the group does not have a stash in the US already, it probably ain't getting through. They are likely flagging specific shippers, box sizes from certain areas, and if it catches one, it will flag all similar. BIG PHARMA $$ is bottomless.

If this started July 9th, they really are doing nothing right. It will take them a while to even pretend they are hitting targets.
These employees are in no rush at all, working at a federal employee pace. Over a billion packages a year anyway, which would be a challenge even for AI.
Have you seen the video posted by @tncc_rn? We are fine.RocketGotRobbed said:

An overweight German shepherd approaches the open box. He picks up the vials with his paw, looks at the camera with janky pop beat playing in the background and says..."look what i just got..."
