tried shipping for 11 weeks. here is what happened.

Question Sourced ×2 Receipts ×1 Slow Clap ×3

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: shipping matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 13 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 11 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

The GGPeps lane used to be 2 days, now averaging 5. Carrier change or route congestion, unclear.

QYB ships from Canada, arrival is 13 to 24 days on average

This is correct. Variance is the story.

lane reports need origin, destination, carrier, actual transit days

Origin to destination?

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

customs clearance often adds 12 days, factor that in

The WWB lane used to be 23 days, now averaging 11. Carrier change or route congestion, unclear.

DHL was 16 days door-to-door but shipping. EMS took 40 days but cheaper and fine.

Ireland to Ireland: TFC with 22 days is the average, variance is 9

Disagree on that part. 93.7% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.

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

u/nils_ferreira72 points·1 year ago

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Crossposting this to c/compounding because the people who need it are not reading this community.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

u/blank_injection1 point·1 year ago

Strongly agree. Customs adds unpredictable delay.

u/honest_syringe1921 points·1 year ago

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

u/swirl_dont_shakereconstitution0 points·1 year ago

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