+ 52 Ordering Strategy for New Members
Ive been a member here for a little over a year and in that time ive learned so much. I haven't really posted much because I'm still in the learning stage when it comes to AAS and the correct usage for them. After spending the last year pouring over this site i feel i now can contribute something to the new member coming to eroids looking to buy gear. I have developed a tried and true method to purchasing gear that is realitively safe. I say relatively because no online purchase of juice is ever truely safe and without risk
So if you are new to this site you can follow these simple steps to getting gear. (Ive ordered from probably a dozen sources listed sources here and have never been screwed and have only had a couple outside of TA time)
-
Know what you want before you start your source checking. This is crucial!!
-
click on sources at top left of home page. Now go to steroid reviews. Once the source names pop up click on which domestic supplier list you want. (Small orange buttons at top right)
-
Now its a pretty safe bet that the guys(and grrls) in the top 10 will deliver as promised BUT things on the supplier side happen from time to time that are out of their control. This leads to the next step...
-
Once you have narrowed down you selection you need to go to the forum and click on Supplier Introduction. Find the supplier or suppliers you are considering and read the posts going back at least 2 weeks and see if they are having issues beyond their control. (Out of stock items or things of that nature) This is also a good time to see what people are saying about the products or TA times........also check out the unread PM function right under the suppliers name at top of page. Its a pretty safe bet that if a supplier has a shitload of unread PMs then something is wrong. Might want to hold off from ordering from them until conditions get better.
-
Karma is there for a reason!!!! If a supplier intro or review section is full of posts from really low karma members, beware!
-
After doing all these things and zeroing in on a good supplier (remember, you researched them and you should feel fairly comfortable at this point) Click on the suppliers name and send them a friend request. From this point on all talk about this should be handled through PMs(private message). I usually tell them what im wanting to order and see if there are any inventory problems just to be sure.
Edit: I knew i would forget something, so to go along with 6, dont not under any circumstance post anywhere on this site payment info. If you want to discuss payment detail it should be by PM ONLY!!!" Personally i feel discussing payment info publically should by a bannable offense. ( credit goes to Irish for reminding me about this very impotant edit) -
Place order with said supplier then............WAIT, WAIT, and WAIT. This step is the hardest part of the process. I know the urge is there to blow up a suppliers inbox when your shit is on the way, but dont. It only slows the process down for all. I usuallywait a few days past TA time before i contact them and them i do it through PM. This is important!!!!
-
After recieving gear DO NOT post a review. Use the product and then post a review!!
I hope this helps those new to this site because i know i stumbled a few times when i first became a member.

Great, enjoy the site.
Learn and grow.
thanks bro for the great information!!
GlassesSorry for asking it.
But Domestic source! It is meant in uk?
Or what exactly ?
Domestic Source: A source located in the same country as you are.
Example: I'm stationed at Utopia Planitia, any source located on Mars, would be considered domestic. A source located on earth or Venus would be considered international if not inter-planetary.
GlassesHaha.
lol
Thanks man.
Waa wondering myself how it would be to live in utopia planitia.
Probably not wifi or celural to call to earth.
But yeah.
Love your explanation.
i didnt realize that you can pick from domestic sources, i just placed an order with an international one....i would have picked a local one if i realized it but oh well....hopefully it works out anyway
Great Info
Excellent post my friend. Should be a sticky that every member has to read and agree to before reaching out to a source!
Good shit bro!
This was honestly the beat check list i have found yet!! . I feel like anytime i have a concern i just need to defer to this post!! Truly thank you!
Great info thanks!
i just posted my introduction and I was asking for tips... you just made most of the work.... thanks
Thanks for the advice. I followed this advice to a T and purchased form the #1 supplier...... well 37 days no package. They just keep telling me to wait some more. Anyone else have a similar experience. I would think after 30 days they would be obligated to reship.
Patience lad, patience. It sucks, I know. I'm not picking on you. It's simply required. Patience.
No reship necessary, yet, until you have more data. You'll know when it's time to blow the whistle.
This AAS stuff isn't a "game," but it's still a "gamble." I'll use the term "game" since my vocabulary is limited, and for the life of me, I can't think of another term to use.
If you're gonna purchase AAS from UGL's, patience is the name of the game.
Also, regarding gambling, never spend more money than you are willing to gamble. It IS a gamble, even with our community here at eroids to help guide us on who's "legit" and who isn't. Never spend more money than you'd be willing to lose at a poker table. You WILL lose money in this "game."
Regarding your health, don't gamble. Be smart. Get the most out of your meals, your lifts, and your life.
So regarding waiting, don't fret it. Just PM the source, be patient, and listen to your instincts. If you think you're getting played, let us know after another month or so.
That said, I hope it works out for you. Remember why you lift, and crush the weights as you wait.
Zeusmarada wins the internet reply gold medal!! You broke it down for me like a shotgun!! Thanks man!!
Key point here
Never spend more than you are willing to lose
It will happen to you eventually so are you willing to drop a grand on one order? That could be the one that gets lost in the crowd so be prepared to write that off.
Thks for the tips bro!
NovemberYeah.
This info should be before you try to make order from Source. Like have you checked this.
Thanks
I wish someone would post this on every single forum out there honestly. Well put man very good information.
MYOPHILIACNice...thanx
lucky25good post , big help for new members.
thats good advice sit back and learn a little and I know how it feels new supplier and the waiting game thats when you hopefully build trust/relationship with them. I hope this doesnt put me in the doghouse Im new at the computer world but its been fun so far.
the game changed. it used to be off a gym buddy years ago
WIsh I used this knowledge when ordering the first time haha. Had to find my own two feet.
This is my first time on this site and after reading for 10 minutes the list of wrong things I've done ordering on another site keeps growing. Thanks for the people that post and the time the people at e-roid take to keep everyone informed.
Surely what you have just said is common sense?
Common sense is NOT as common as you would think.
Hey guys, I'm an ex Canadian military member just came over , staying for a year. Wasn't sure about the laws of importing gear into New Zealand. Nisy wondering how I can get my hands on some gear and if anyone has any contacts.
Cheers
Paul
Thank you for the heads up
thanks for the post. good one.
Thank you for the info. u really explained things well. Words of wisdom
Thanks! I will definitely be following this strategy with my next order. One of the problems seems to be that within a day, a source review can go from good to having several "I didn't get my gear!" negative reviews. So, one day a source since reliable and 24 hours later they seem like total flakes and scammers.
Thanks for the wisdom!
Great tips. Thank you for the post.
Thanks for good info
Good advice..thanks for posting
Newbie here. Do I need any type of VPN or private browser so I can't get tracked?
This is fantastic but i hope everyone thinks like this without this post needing to be read. just common sense
Good post! Very helpful. Thanks
