    Pins stuck in customs

    I have always used sterilesyringes with good luck. I usually make a fairly large order so that I have enough syringes and needles to hold me over for a couple years. It was time to order again so last month I put in an order and it was shipped in two different packages- one package contained all the 3ml syringes and the other contained all the needles and insulin syringes.

    I received the package containing the 3ml syringes a little over a week ago. But the other one is showing it is in NY customs since April 1st. At what point do you begin to get concerned? Both packages were shipped on the same date. It looks like one slipped through and the other got caught.

    Not sure when to cut bait, but they aren’t that expensive, “although a couple of years worth” is expensive I’m sure. Considering what’s going on in NY, I’m not surprised. I wouldn’t give up hope yet...
    Don’t want to be Captain Obvious either, but order that shit domestically. PM me if you need some solid sites...

    With everything that is going on, I wouldn't give up hope yet. I would go domestic for those items next time. I just ordered 300 slin pins and 300 syringes with a 20g needle and 300 23g pins for injection and 30ml BW and it was at my doorstep in 4 days.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Keep hope alive and when and if it fails, there’s a very decent thread on everyone’s favorite pin source in the Q&A. I believe they’re all domestic as well.

    Fingers crossed for you

    I draw with 23 and pin with 25 when not pinning daily( cruising).

    Concerned about what? That you do B12 injections? And that grandma needs slin?
    BTW- slin is legal- you can buy it in Walmart without a prescription.

    Exactly. The concern should only be being out the cash. Johnny fucking Law is the least of your worries. Exactly as Charger said..

    No sir, the 23g is just my go to that feels "right" to me. The slin pins are for daily use, Charger.

    I used to use 22 when in Mexico. Now I’m just a big pussy and use 25 or slin pins. LOL

    In NY it is illegal to have syringes and needles without a script for them... unless you’re a junkie. I’m not too worried about the legal side of it... although I don’t like the idea of my address getting flagged. I will look into going domestic next time.

    Aren't you on a script TRT or am I mistaken?

    It's really f-ed up that you have less rights than someone with an addiction.

    I was using 18g to pull and push, for the longest time, but was told they would cause scar tissue so I wen to to 22g (IIRC), but yeah, I was getting my pins at Walgreens. They never asked for a script.

    Would it be safe to say I won’t be seeing that package? And will it just forever say it’s in customs when I track it? And is my name and address now flagged?

    In the past you would see a Customs hold and a letter if your things got snagged, buy that was for smaller (personal) quantities.
    Honestly, I would hang loose if possible. Things are moving pretty dang slow right now.

    Yeah man, the system is overloaded/underproductive, particularly in the current situation.

    I've had domestic mail from eBay items ping pong from coast to coast and then go on your through the heartland of America. The sad thing about it is it was only going from Louisiana to SC.
