Just ask over private message. I have helped at least half a dozen people on this forum get connected with various vendors and pointed them to other forums and discords and telegrams where they can get plugged in.
It’s just very bad form to openly discuss smuggling methods.
Which is much appreciated.
AgentSmith has done months of research, so you can go straight to the source.
Nothing is guaranteed 
, but in my 6 purchases using his contacts… never been burned once. Thanks.
Certainly much appreciated, and one day I may hit you up for a connection 
. For now, I have a bit of a stash and I’m waiting to see how things shake out. I figure things are in a flux, systems are just being put into place and we won’t know how well the whole system is working until some time has passed. However, I personally don’t have any particularly exotic needs, like hormones or peptides, just your average meat and potatoes BP, SGLT2i, CVD and other drugs, plus the occasional outlier like rapamycin.
I can’t believe things have come to such a pass. All we want are some meds for our health. It’s insane that there is such a focus on preventing people from taking charge of their own bodies, just because some interest groups want to make money from gatekeeping. Fewer options = less freedom. Unbelievable that all those ‘mah freedom’ screamers don’t connect the dots. Our political reps should be working for us, not against us in the interest of lobbyists.

I know what you mean, but it’s funny you should put it that way, as I consider synthetic pharmaceutical compounds to be much more inherently exotic and potentially acutely dangerous than many bioidentical, analog, or mimetic peptides and bioidentical hormones.
Overdose a CCB or beta blocker, you’re dead. Overdose epitalon or testosterone, you sleep really well and turn into @Agetron! 
(Yes, I’m deliberately cherry picking… the flood of counter examples may now commence 
)
Yes, exotic in this context is a tricky term. I meant it more in the sense of “unusual”, meaning something fewer people use, whereas everyone has heard of statins and the like. I have nothing against the peptides and hormones, just speaking for myself, I am unfortunately very hung up on studies, and for most of these peptides there are not enough high quality independent studies for my taste (anything coming out of Russia I discard immediately and with finality).
The only thing I’d like to find out coming out of Russia is Vladimir Putin’s stack. I’m sure it’s highly vetted… or else.
"Now this sound really bizarre, but I could smell that he was freshly laundered, he wasn’t wearing cologne but it was almost like he had stepped out of some special preparatory bath or something into the moment.
**Yesterday, I received the following email from my Canadian supplier, which may also hold some significance for shipments direct from India to the US.
Does anyone have an update on their India suppliers?
Good evening,
Below is the service level update from our team. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Canada Post Strike
On September 26, 2025, Canada Post workers announced a national strike which will delay our shipments from Canada. Please note this only applies to shipments from Canada, and we are actively monitoring the situation to keep customers updated. We will contact all of our customers who place orders for Canadian products in order to provide an alternate option.
Update on Tariffs
It has been determined that country of origin reciprocal tariffs will apply to our shipments. Tariff rates will vary according to the source country of your order, and this may affect the lowest-cost option for some of our products. Please note the following important points:
- We will do everything possible to keep our prices at historically low levels, however, due to the tariffs there may be price increases that are out of our control. We will continue to work hard to find you the best source and price for your medication.
- Please note that the prices you see on our website INCLUDE the tariffs, and we will pay the tariff on your behalf prior to shipping your order. Please contact us if you get a notice from U.S. CBP regarding your shipment.
Thank you for your ongoing trust! We will continue to provide updates whenever we receive new information. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Per an email I received, Unisoul Lifescience on IndiaMart has resumed shipping to the USA with a 28% fee added. I’ve never ordered from them before. But they have Rapacan.
Smuggling seems to be evolving into the new normal in a lot of areas (as is common in high-tarrif situations)… and people getting their regular medications at a lower price seems to be the a low area of concern compared to the “high end” of the market where most of the money is…
From French gowns to Swiss watches, high tariffs have long tempted affluent travelers to sneak goods past customs. Trump’s tariffs could make them try again.
‘A Victimless Crime’
Even if you can break the law for a bargain, should you? Legally, there’s no grey area here. But Fordham’s Scafidi wonders if travelers who dislike Trump might see their overseas shopping as a form of civil disobedience.
Of all the crimes you can commit, smuggling might be the most glamorous. Fictional smugglers like Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind and Han Solo in Star Wars get romanticized as sexy rogues. A few US founding fathers were almost certainly involved in smuggling: British accusations that John Hancock illegally brought wine into Boston harbor in 1768 sparked a controversy that helped precipitate the American Revolution.
“There’s absolutely a sense that smuggling is a victimless crime,” says Syracuse University historian Andrew Wender Cohen.
Today, America’s wealthy may be the best-positioned to smuggle, given their disposable income and propensity to travel. But almost any frequent flyer, such as flight attendants, could seize the opportunity to bring back some duty-free goods to keep or re-sell. The same temptation faces anyone living near the US’s thousands of miles of border with Mexico and Canada.

What’s wrong with a shower after a good workout?
Crazy how the media can turn “he bathed” into a headline haha
She said “laundered”. Below is an old study from Stanford. It was done on mice, in 2013. They were thinking of trials in humans. There appears to be no followup.
The more recent Indian article below (2023) also talks about bleach baths, and chlorhexidine baths.
