Thanks! May I ask how much you pay for shipping from the US? I saw Otokonoko just got a new batch of EV, but they want thirty-five USD just for shipping to where I'm at, and I'm wondering if that's normal or it would be worth it to wait and see if someone else has better conditions
well, assuming my math here is correct, my Symphony Labs order cost me 7 USD for shipping to Switzerland (order conformation email shows a total of 127 USD and each of the two EEn vials was 60 USD).
tbh Symphony Labs charges a bit more per vial than many other homebrewers, and i only went with them because both AstroVials and VC were down and i was running pretty low. having actually gotten the vials, i actually think i'm gonna be sticking with Symphony Labs for the foreseeable future, in spite of the higher prices and 1-2 month delay between order and shipping. i like the vials they use; they've got a tear-off metal seal covering the stopper, and the stopper itself is actually rubber. for reference, AstroVials just threw their vials in a box with the stopper directly exposed, and use a silicone stopper (on my last vial this started disintegrating after only about 6 months of weekly injections, leaving little flakes of silicone floating inside the vial and forcing me to throw it out with like half the contents remaining). even more, i really like that they lab test every batch they make, with the test results published on their website and each vial clearly marked with which batch it came from. feels a lot safer than going "well, Trans Harm Reduction tested a vial from this supplier last year, so i guess i'll just trust that their current stock is also good".
