I sent him an e-mail requesting his "Free sample" of either the Contugesic or the other med he ofers and was rebuffed rather rudely saying "No more new orders. Good luck finding any Contugesic." When I asked about placing an order and skip the free samples he again replyed saying "No new customers....good luck finding any Contugesic"
Sounds like he's running on borrowed time

Sorry but my friend who asked about contugesic ,got the same answer.Sorry no more customers for contugesic,so he asked for perduretas and had a free sample about 4 days a go.So what you are saying is biotran are not taking new customers at all.Please get your facts correct please.Biotran is a good source and do not screw it up for people because you have bad luck.To the people who write in correct info because you have had no luck at all.Some one reading these posts might want a different med to contugesic and you gave them the idea not to bother at all.So people reading these posts you make your own mind up.If you want contugesic it seems a bad idea at the moment.And listen to them above and if you want another med ,give them a try.

My facts/experience with respect to the three "free samples" he offers under his Pain Medication section are correct. All three requests (sent separately after each prior rejection) were responded to in the same manner "Sorry, no new customers at this time...good luck finding "
As for his other meds, I'm not loosing my hair, don't have problems sleeping nor depressed so I did not query him on those products, nor do I want them, so I can not comment on those areas. If I was balding, depressed and an insomniac maybe I'd give it a go.
My question is, if he's not taking on new customers with respect to Pain meds nor sending out any free samples (or at least Contugesic in your statement), why is he still advertising "free samples"? I even offered to pay up front for an order and was again re-buffed. OK, maybe he was having a bad day or didn't like the font in my e-mail. It's a free world and he can choose to do as he pleases. But that was my experience. After all, isn't the name of this topic "Feedback based in personal experience (int´l)" ? Others may have had better luck than I, so be it.
However, being a savvy shopper and checking other discussion boards I contribute to(5 in total)I've read similar information on his recent sketchy delivery record and others with the same experience. I try to corroborate my provider's records and experiences.
What can I say? those are MY facts and MY personal experiences with biotran.co.uk/pain.html. Others may have had different experiences and better luck and I'm glad for them but I'm just reporting on my experience.
A simple "No new orders/customers being taken for Contugesic at this time" posted on his pain meds web site page would have been helpful not to mention saved both he and I time, and present a sense of honesty. Or maybe he just uses a selective customer spinning wheel and I came up as "looser". No worries, I've moved on.

I requested a sample of ambien 10 days ago and received instead a sample of perduretas which I have no use for. I e-mailed him back about it but received no response. So do I pay for something I didn't order or what is the proper protocol? flibble

I have sent off a email to biotran,and asked about why they are not taking new customers for any of there pain products.This is there responce in there own words.Biotran are not taking new customers for contugesic.If people want perduretas or codeisan,Biotran will be very glad to send a free sample.If people are under the impression biotran are not taking new customers for any pain products the email they have sent is not very clear.If people write a clear message asking for perduretas or codeisan there should be no missunderstanding.

I posted above about sample of Contugesic. E-mailed Bio and said I had receceived and will order 20 more. He wrote back that their out of Contugesic (DHC) and that I could wait or order a different product. Will order Perds. instead.

They seem to keep careful records, but some times goof on the shipments. If you want to use them in the future, I'd pay him the $5 for the (perduretas) sample - their records probably show that he sent ambien sample as you requested - and order 30 stilnox/ambien as your 2nd order, you don't have to send them money for the second order, just pay for the sample.

Maybe he's dipping into his Contugesics a 'bit'much hence his 'short' supply and confusion. Perdureta is basically codeine as is codeisan. The whole deal seems a bit odd. Oh well. Plenty of other providers that are delivering and not as confused. What ever.

can one ask what is odd about making you pay when your shipment turns up.This you shows biotran as faith in people and not many people have that today.To many people jump on this company because looking at the posts.They are to good to be true.They look how the company works and that is to good to be true.Josemo can you rebuff your last statement and tell people in plain english is biotran taking customers for perduretas and codeisan.Your last statement reads they were taking no one on as a new client for any pain product and your last statement is not clear either.

I received a sample a few days ago, so "no new customers" is a farce atm. He may not be sending any contugesic but he is definately delivering on other items of interest. I think its really cool that this biotran guy has faith in the customer, and he has definately made a new friend in me. I'll be ordering again.

Biotran has always done well by me. I have always received and my latest shipment was a pleasant surprise. A month ago I was already in the early steps of "pay after receiving" for contugesic when he asked if I would switch to a different product because of availability problems. I emailed him to go ahead and switch me but asked to be notified when he had enough for me to switch back to contugesic. I received one shipment of the other product and was expecting the same this week. Today when I opened the package he had returned me to contugesic! I have to say that this company not only is an honest IOP, but more honest than most companies of any kind. I think we all know mix-ups can happen, especially with IOP's, but folks there's never a doubt about Biotran's honesty.

Received my order for "Ambien" today postage was from Spain (thought he was was from the United Kingdom, Trully, this guy is a "REEL" mystery. And "REELLY" this guy true to his word, but I have heard that he's having problems with acquiring "Contugesic". That's probably why he's not accepting new customers (at least for the contugesic). Cuz I asked him for "Contugesic" and he told me that he already enough of a customer base (it seems he can't take on anymore, most likely he probably doesn't have enough to meet the requests of the cusomters he has now, so instead of taking new customers and then having to tell "NO" for their requests of "Contugesic", he probably figures he tell "U" straight-up "NO" from the "Get-go", not in so many words, he probably can't fulfill everones's request for contugesic, afterall it's pretty seeked-after med (I mean "REELLY" how many samples can he send out. In fact I asked him before the new year (towards the end of last year) and he told me "NO" (not rude, just to the point, so there's no confusion, try the workaround, it might just work, I mentioned below), then I went with the sample "Ambien" and he was like fine, do exactly as I say and you will receive it and I did as he told me. And it all worked-out. I think he's still good for his other meds, you may want to change your request for a sample for the time being, and maybe, after a few transactions he'll probably consider you for "Contugesic". I asked him for a sample a second time for "Contugesic", And he was like "not quite just yet", but it wasn't a straight-up "NO" like before. More like, be patient and "U" will get it. It might just be that he's probably waiting for a delivery from his suppliers. Anyway Good Luck!!
