I just need to get something off my chest. I have been using OP/IOPs for a couple of years now and while most OP (US Based) can promise and deliver in very short periods of time, IOP sources have a much longer delivery window. I admit that the first time I ordered IOP, I started to panic that I had gotten taken within the first two weeks. This is especially true if the IOP is bad with answering email inquiries. However over time I learned that IOPs, in my experience have taken up to 24 days for delivery
this includes the from the day I placed the order to the day it showed up on my doorstep or in my mailbox. I have read on this board of longer delivery times. I guess I have been lucky
.so far.
I have read 10-14 day shipping times on IOP sites
.usually whatever they promise, I double that in my delivery calculations
I never believe they can promise 10-14 days with all the variables involved.
I see so many people posting that they ordered from an IOP 10 days ago they dont have their product in their hand so they are initiating a charge-back. People
RELAX
these are IOPs: International Online Pharmacies. They not only face the slower than US postal service (If you can believe anything Can be slower) but they have to get their products through customs as well. If you are worried about running out of product, pay the higher prices and Go OP
or alternately order sooner from your favorite IOP.
ALWAYS read these boards for info on a site you plan to order from and even if the ratings are glowing...test a small $$ order first.
My very last piece of advise is that you should never, ever count on your OP or IOP always being there for you
I have seen too many either turn unreliable or vanish completely.
I hope this helps someone out there.
And I'll get off the Soap-Box now

I'd just like to add that in my experience there are a handful of IOP's that DO deliver within 10-14 days, everytime. Why? I think it has to do with the history they have with the various postal customs units they travel through as well as they make a decent effort to process the order as soon as possible. Some IOP's keep stock, some wait on orders reaching a point before they even buy the product themselves. For what it is worth.  b5t3

That's good to know. I have never been that fortunate. All my IOP orders have taken at least 4 weeks. I wonder if you could let us know of those that shipped so quickly?

Geart post, rxter. It comes up time and again, but we need to be reminded of it over and over and over. One of the questions they should use in the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasal Personality Inventory)--a true-false test of 500 questions that is meant to uncover mood, personality, and other psychological disorders-- should be:
True or False:
When I order from an IOP and the agreement states that my order will arrive in 7-10 days, I believe them.
When I was sophomore in college, one of my parents sent me a check through our trusty USPS. The distance that envelope had to cover? About 250 miles? How long did it take? 10 days.

You crack me up toe!
Maybe another question:
True or False -
When I get SPAM advertising great offers, I always order from them.

I hereby declare you delusional and insane, rxter. You shouldn't be allowed in public. You fail.
Now, put on this jacket---don't worry about finding the armholes. Everything's gonna be alright now, rxter, it's all going to be alright.
