Hi Everyone from Adelaide Australia.

Was quite happy being a silent lurker on this site for the last month or so just taking in everyone's comments while I learnt all about Retrutide. Didnt really feel I had any need to sign up because I didn’t really feel I had anything that would be helpful to the experts on here already tbh.

While lurking, I got to the point where I felt comfortable enough choosing a vendor thanks to the help of the community, doing the whole Telegram/whatsapp/Bitcoin thing but unfortunately appears I ordered at the wrong time and this vendor who shan't be named went MIA. Anyhoo, not here to complain, them the breaks when playing on the grey market and it was a good learning curve early (although I will admit has almost completely killed my appetite to try again).

But reason for joining despite happily being a lurker was I was reading comments recently and felt I had something to add to some people discussing this MIA vendor that might have been helpful but of course couldn't, so figured it's a good time to join because even a low level lurker might be helpful sometimes to someone 😉

It is very easy to get scammed in the grey market. You really have to watch and follow what people are saying and double check with the group if that is the correct contact information. It happened to me with a GB. The good news is there are a lot of reputable US vendors that have stock and ship quickly. Usually not the same deal from CN, but still a good price point. It's usually 3rd party tested and ships rather quickly. I'm sure you can find them here.

There's a good chance you got scammed by an imposter, pretending to e the vendor! Did they contact you

Thank you, that definitely fills me with hope. In fact, since posting them I am hoping there is still a chance I might get my first order but I'm also not holding my breath.

Testing is something I'm learning a lot more about the importance of though. Not going to lie though... should I definitely do it? Yes, absolutely. Am I going to do it? Probably not😅 safe to say in my party days I probably put a lot worse in my body 😂

Nah I approached them and it seems like I maybe just got a bit unlucky with timing. There is a bit on this forum about them and debate around whether they exit scamed or got shut down by the po-po. But some peoppe are still getting their orders so who knows 🤷‍♂️

Yes! Im shocking on limiting what I eat so I am really most excited about getting rid of the food noise. Have a couple friends on it too and they have loved the experience. How long are you going to use it before having a break between cycles? And how long will your break be?

Long time lurker as well. Sorry to hear of the scam/shut down, but don’t let that deter you from your journey and sounds like you have a great attitude about it!
 
We all have a shitty experience or two to share, so don't feel bad about how things started for you. Also please be patient and wait until you can start discussing vendors freely as I'd hate to see you get banned!

I think all of us new to this Grey are thinking the same thing or trying to learn as much as possible and then hopefully find the right shot at getting a safe order and learning about the next peptide (LOL). I been reading on it for a month or more now and still feel like I don't really know what I think I know.
 
I, like you, have been lurking a while and am getting ready to finally pull the trigger on an order soon. But what I've learned is we can research and hope for the best but in the end I realize I'm only going to pay what I'm ok with losing, as even the known vendors can disappear in a heartbeat. Like you said either exit scam or getting shut down. Hope you have better luck next time and keep sharing what you've learned to help newbies like me!

We can learn together 😅 ....seriously though...I hear people talking about different size needles and am like huh? Or a filter? Or even just whats better - higher or lower concentrate of the peptide vs the amount of BAC water.....so much to learn! Thankfully so much time 😅
