week one: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1
Quick one. Canada here.
basics 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 13 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.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

what is bac water — bacteriostatic water, preservative included
You have restated the marketing copy.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 58 weeks to accept.
Slight fix: the number was 99.0, not 98.9. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
the what is question is not dumb
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
