I put in 2 orders with 2 different vendors roughly 24 hours prior to the recent "crackdown" in China that halted overseas shipping and left US warehouses short on stock. From vendor number one, I bought 4 kits of Tirz30. About 7 days later, that vendor got in touch and explained there was a significant holdup because of the local crackdown, offering me a refund if I wanted one. I chose to wait it out. Another 7 days passed and they came back to say the Tirz30 from China simply was not going to ship, but they had Tirz30 sitting in a US warehouse, so I went with that option instead. No additional charges were applied. That package arrived 7 days after that.

TODAY...the ORIGINAL order from China showed up. 4X kits of Tirz30. My guess is that the box got stuck/held in customs and, somehow, wiggled through. So I essentially got a twofer'.

Roughly 7 days ago I got a text from vendor number two. I had ordered 4X CJC/IPA(no dac) kits. Their text said plainly that my original shipment was being held at customs, so they are sending a replacement, and that I would probably receive BOTH the original shipment eventually. So....another twofer!
 
Glad you caught some good fortune!

Consider what that likely says about how much they mark it up.

Once you're pulling in 2x amounts (8 kits), running your own test genuinely becomes worthwhile.

As it happens, I had already intended to test the Tirz, so this turned out to be one more fortunate coincidence 🙂
 
That feeling is great. I asked for Cagri, but Ipa showed up instead. A replacement Cagri is already on its way, and the Ipa cost me nothing. Free stuff is the best!
