Hi, I am a little confused about the "warehouse" / "shipping lines".
I kinda get that a US warehouse is for US, EU is only for Europe, but then I see things line "international" and combinations and so on.
If it says " EU DOMESTIC & WORLD WIDE 4" does that mean that there is a chance my order will be shipped from outside of Europe, even though I live in Finland? (I saw this on PMROIDS) but I am not sure how to interpret it.
It's the first time I am considering buying from these online sources, and I am sorry if I broke any unspoken or spoken rule, I've been on the board for a few years but never really had questions.
Thank you in advance

Black90tsi has you covered on what you need to know below bud, the US Domestic warehouses exist within the US so there is less chance of your parcel getting snagged by customs basically as its already in the country - but you will pay more for this privilege if you compare prices between International and US Domestic. International prices are therefore lower but there is the risk and also it will take longer to get to you, not that this really applies to you as you are in Finland lol It does beg the question though - why should someone living in the US pay more for the same product than someone living in the EU? Shouldn't the Lab be absorbing that extra cost rather than the customer?
oh shit I am bannedWell it’s business 101, the cost is always passed onto the customer
The Profit margins in steroids are huge, costs less than a $1 to make a vial of Test.
Same story with most illegal drugs mate
oh shit I am bannedOf course. But still why charge less when you can charge more and people still buy it? And even if they don’t buy you still make more than enough from your domestic customers
Would you feel comfortable charging for something that you knew wasn't worth that amount? I guess its down to greed and principles.
oh shit I am bannedYes I would. My family builds custom homes our rates are up 40% and still pay contractors what we did 5 years ago supply cost increases have had zero effect especially compared to what people make them out to be. Making more profit than ever. Really that’s all it comes down to. More profit is better is the mentality for most successful business owners. You can only do so much giving away here and there soon enough you have nothing left for yourself
I think also what it comes down to is a lot of people realized they can charge a lot more and make a lot more all while providing the same or lesser service within the past few years. So why not?
EU domestic & worldwide means its a warehouse in the EU but that they also ship worldwide from it. So if you're in the EU and order from there it will be domestic EU mail. They also spilt up warehouses according to manufacturers typically. So if you're ordering from 1 warehouse only you'll get dinged for the shipping charge once. If you decide you want to mix and match manufacturers from different warehouses you're going to get hit with multiple shipping fees as there will be more than 1 package.
Make sense?
Good explanation.
Thank you!
There should be a guide on the sites for first-timers with this exact explanation!
