17 months in and Canada is still the thing I get wrong

Discussion Receipts ×3

Quick one. Canada here.

Canada works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 22 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

How many weeks between the two measurements?

Strongly agree. Provincial variation is real.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

This is correct. Name your province.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is Canada. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Maintenance for 13 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

cross-border pricing arbitrage is Canada but risky

Ireland here. Waited 6 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
