+ 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.

I know in the rules it says not to discuss payment methods, but it says this while talking about preserving personal information. I am just curious on the usual payment method preferred by most sources. I would assume credit card is out of the question. How does this usually work, broadly speaking?
Great info to pay attention to guys
Good stuff, greatly appreciated
(Censored)
No source talk in the open fourms!! Read the rules!!
ray3801Hey bud...you need to edit out the name of the supplier. Against the rules to post source names in the open forum. All you can really do is leave an appropriate review after youve tried contacting the source via PM. None of this game is 100% all of the time. its like gambling.....dont send off the money unless you can afford to lose it. Best of luck brother.
How do I edit
I'm a beginner, I made an order of gear recently thru and haven't received anything back. It's been more than the time they had told me. I thought they were pro's, guess I was wrong. If anyone has any suggestions , please respond. ..TY.IN ADVANCE.
Send your source a pm or take it to the s.i. page. Don't talk about orders and sources here!!!
Thanks for the post. Good info
Great job ...very important info.
I cant seem to find the supplier intro or am I just over looking it
ray3801Blue drop down arrow in upper right corner. Click on steroid sources then source discussion. It used to be called source intro before the site was redesigned.
"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)." Should I really do this step? I found a source that looks reputable, couldn't I just order from their site and skip this, or do you suggest I do talk to them on here first about product availability? Not trying to sound like a stupid question, I'm genuinely curious. Thank ya.
ray3801You don't have to talk to the supplier. If you feel comfortable then by all means order away. The main point here is don't take to the source discussion page or the forums blasting a supplier if any small hiccups arise. Give the supplier time to remedy any problems in private. If they don't then review accordingly.
Got it! Thanks man.
ray3801Anytime my man
Great info, thanks for taking the time to share
Great advice! :-) thanks
ray3801Anytime brother
Absolutely awesome advice. I made the mistake of ordering from a source I shouldn't have done. This advice would've saved me from the pain of being burned. But hopefully this will save someone else!!!!+1
Would anyone recommend using a re-mailing service like the UPS Store to receive packages?
Good stuff. Ill be honest I am a little skittish doing this for the first time and any info on proper etiquette and how to is good info.
Thanks!
This was a very helpful post so thanks. Can anyone tell me where my "friends list" is? I've sent some requests and there are less in the queue now so perhaps they accepted. I'd like to start the whole PM thing....
Thanks!
ray3801If you hit the blue dropdown arrow in the top right corner of the screen the last option is your username. Click on that and youll get to your profile. From there you can manage friend requests and all sorts of things.
thanks for the info answers a few questions i had. thanks
Thanks for the info. I was away to order from somewhere else until I found your post. Great to see someone look out thanks again friend
Good Stuff...
thanks great info
AnonAlso this may be common sense but before I found this forum NEVER purchase from a site that takes credit cards I know that's common sense right? But you'd be surprised
This is great advice man. Thankfully ive never been got either than again im only on my fifth order, and it sucks when I hear someone ripped. Thats the way it goes pray for the best prepare for the worst but if you follow these instructions I would say you increase your chance of not being duped. I guess if you got the loot order from two srcs one of them with just the min just as an emergency back up. That is if you got the loot you dont wana be totally fucked.
Really helpful step by step - thanks
Thanks allot this helped out. Good on ya for looking out for other people on here.
Thank you for this informative post to help us n00bs out!
This was a great read for me thank you for the time you put into this. Post like this reinforce my choice to be here.
Pretty good post. If ppl would just read this before they order and go asking questions right after.
Awesome thread bro thanks for all the 411
makes scene thanks for the input. I will do this
+1
I just read this an to be honest that's me very impatient did my first order but I'm learning. Lol thanks for the tips bro.
Thank you! I am very new to this site and I have tons of questions. You have helped tremendously and are much appreciated.
Good rite up. I was actualy doing the same thing. And I placed an order and now saw this lol.
Thanks man, sound advice.
Hi, this is very helpfull, I can now progress with confidence, greatly appreciated.
Another thing I would suggest is to check out the Pics->Lab Results section. Seems that is where most of the real TRUTH happens.
Hey im new to ordering now with each site thay want you to register. Now do u use your real name?
You should use your real name. It needs to be shipped to your house, etc. It can look suspicious if you are having mail delivered to your house under a different (false) name. You may end up causing more problems by trying to be clever.
elecshortsAs a newbie here I would add:
(1) Order small the first time with a new supplier.
(2) BS is BS. E-mails and PMs with excuses after a while smell like the same crap. Being reasonable and being a sucker are not too far apart. If promised a tracking number, you should get one and not a load of excuses.
(3) Find and re-use the reliable supplier and review him well.
(4) High karma reviews don't mean much when suppliers give free product to get them.
I see.
Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
