    Ashop Shipping Times

    Been doing a lot of research on a few forums and I think I'm gonna go with Balkan via Ashop. I've read that a lot of people are dealing with long wait times from them, though. Has anyone here recently ordered from them, and if so, how long did it take for yours to arrive? Shipping to east coast US btw, thanks guys

    Ordered some stuff a couple months from them. It came out of two locations. One package took 2 weeks the other package took about a month. I live in the states btw.

    My last delivery from them made it in a month from the day I ordered...remember it goes through customs and that can take weeks so be patient...every order I’ve made from them over the years has always made it...

    ^^^Same here. Also, keep in mind that shipping is running slow almost everywhere right now due to the virus. Even normal domestic mail is getting misrouted or moving slowly.

    Ashop Shipping Times

    I’m in the Midwest/Northeastern US and last ordered Balkan and SP branded items in late November from Alin.

    I’m going on 10 weeks and still haven’t received any of my international orders. Tracking shows one still hasn’t left the country yet… Mine was quite a bit more as well ($1100 combined with the 35% holiday sales, so $1500 to replace without the sales)… broken into two orders and three shipments , two already mis-delivered, and Alin has already said they won’t replace... so, I’m down two thirds of my orders already, the last third possibly as well.

    I’ll be sticking with my domestic source for future orders for some time to play it safer in these uncertain times.

    Unfortunately, I’m not sure I can continue to recommend Alin; up until late last year, for the past 7 years or so, they stood behind their shipments. As of today, I’ve been advised they won’t make right the remaining lost $1000 in replacement cost to me for the first two lost shipments. They did provide partial credit (one of the shipments only), and without the sale I ordered during, so I got something.... but much less than half the credit needed to replace what I never received. This was a big order for me, from a source I had trusted.... but this last shipment makes three strikes and I only have a third of its cost in credit, and I’m down another 8-10 weeks to receive any replacement, if it even delivers, knowing they won’t credit it being lost either.

    I do think, now, that I will need to move my business to domestic or another

    I've only bought stealth from them, and it's about 2 weeks to get it.

    I can only imagine having to order 1-2 months out. I get my gear in days but it’s domestic Canada. I’m spoiled lol.

    Alin has been my go-to for years for large orders; with only the short notice orders placed at a newer domestic source.

    However, even with waiting 2 months for my orders to be delivered, I know they’ll do right by any issues, just as they made the lost shipment right, while I’m still waiting for the 2nd part of the order to arrive 8 weeks out.

    This is very true ...even for domestic orders. I’m still waiting on my order from Val. It’s been almost a month . Usually I get it in 3 days. Tracking number shows that it hasn’t made it to my state .

    Totally understand that; hence my not losing too much sleep over the 8-10 week shipping times; however, I finally got the third shipment (first two lost), and it’s not my order. In fact, it’s roughly worth about $200 (contains Sustanon which was not in any of my orders), but, not the $430 order placed (Primo, Proviron , Clen , Cialis, Tren , Nolva). I’m getting beyond frustrated with four orders placed and not a single one received yet. Note that the first two orders were placed in November 2020... I’m not hating on Alin, just sharing in this post’s frustration.

    Just thought I’d put this here that I just received my last ashop order in 18 days was the fastest one yet...was also the first time the tracking was actually working so I could “follow “ it...usually that feature is useless for me and it just shows up one day...

    Same, never an issue before, that they couldn’t resolve, and that’s with over 7 years of history. It’s been a frustrating time for all, and I understand that. Glad to hear you got yours brother.

    My fingers are crossed that this replacement order has the same good fortune as yours did, Kel. Alin has never done me wrong, they are still trying to get me my products.

    Yes it is. I didn't realize how fast until I went and reviewed tracking after reading this thread.

    Last recent order from Ashop took around 30 days and I’m in England...
    The pandemic is definitely taking its toll on shipments..

    And I’m still waiting lol

    Still haven’t received any of my late November shipments.

    And my replacement order has been in the prepping process for a week now, still not shipped. I’m not having a good year with Alin so far lol

    But, hey, the previous six years were stellar.

    I haven't ordered from them in a while but they were always great. Typically took 3-4 weeks for everything to arrive.

    They made good on everything, as of today, all that I ordered has been delivered. The only downside was waiting 4 months from my initial order to get everything delivered. But, they made sure I got it, they have stellar quality products, and stand by them.

    My 2 cents? Order well in advance as I did, to play it safe, and stick with Alin.

    Just had another delivery.
    It came in two parts because one item was out of stock.
    They contacted me and I just swapped brands.

    The first part came in 3 weeks.
    The second came in 3 weeks 2 days.

    My days of ordering anything other than Stealth from Alin ended after the second time which was sometime around 2007. Stealth is easy to come by with them. My domestic sources always take care of me and are easier to deal with. Personal opinion.

    Irrelevant, but since this thread won’t fall off I’m not gonna start a brand new one.

    Has anyone used Balkan dbol ? I had some left over from a previous order from ashop. It’s just sitting there so I thought fuck it, I’ll take it to finish off this 500mg test only blast before I come off for my blood work.

    I’m 13 days in, 50mg/ed and zero anything. No weight increase, no noticeable strength increase. Only thing it does is curb my appetite? I kept seeing everyone talk about taking it for pre workout. Surely 50mg ed is sufficient for something?

    Balkan d'bol has always worked for me. I'm old, but 20mg of good d'bol is plenty of a PWO for me.

    Yeah idk it doesn’t make any sense.. any and all of Balkan products from alin has always been gtg.

    Bro. Lol I see it mentioned and the jokes all the time, but I’ve got to ask.. how old are you? Has “almost gone” been your username for 17 years also?

    Similar story with the Balkan Clen I recently got from Alin. Didn’t have the effect I was accustomed to, increased 50% and still nothing. So, I ran a Clen test on it from RoidTest and it came back as having no Clen at all. Thought it a mistake and wasted a second test with the same result. I contacted Alin and they advised that RoidTest was inaccurate and Balkan is human grade. I hadn’t shared this experience with anyone until reading your post....

    Maybe something changed? Either way, I tossed it. Didn’t need it that bad, just like it on occasion.
