Hi,

I have contacted the supplier MrHappy has used for uridine. I have contacted them and got a quote for $280 1 kilogram of uridine + shipping. I'm willing to include 1 or 2 people to buy this amount. Please let me know who would be interested. If more people show interest we can negotiate a larger quantity for a better price.

Any takers for this? 1kg is too much for me. 500g is enough for five years. I don't want to have a stash for ten years.

Ten ppl? OK. I'm ok with 10 ppl; but, that's only 100g each.

I have resigned a spot in my freezer for it, as otherwise it apparently spoils after 2-3 years. :)

Haha, thought so. Your whole freezer must be full of uridine. Stuffs great overall.

CA :laugh:

I'm not even in Philly anymore; I'm in Toronto, Canada. So I'm in but I'm worried the back 'n' forth coast-to-coast shipping might be a bit of a problem

One person would recieve and distribute 100g to each person in the US preferably.

I've noticed mine gradually taking on a fishy taste so I'm not surprised to hear that.

I'm still OK with doing a group buy with 3 ppl. having around 340g each or up to 5. Not sure if 10 is worth the hassle. Lemme know what you think.

I'm in but I'm in france, however i would gladly pay for the regular, cheapest, slowest USPS shipping option which shouldnt be expensive at all (probably less than 8 usd)

Cool, looks like we're almost there. I'm OK with someone else receiving the product and distributing it and doing the payment. It makes no difference to me.
So, we have:
Vitalis
Strelok
peakplasma
Adaptogen
me

Everyone from the above list please confirm your interest in a 5 way buy for $60 Uridine at 200g each (shipping cost included @ $4 USPS).

I'm also OK with anyone else proposing another supplier. Alibaba is full of sellers offering this compound at way lower prices.

I'm good with that.

But can I get an estimate on the shipping cost to Canada?

On the USPS website its telling me $19.99 for an 8oz letter but that is clearly not true. I just got a 8oz package from Florida for <$6.

Scratch that, I was looking at express shipping; regular shipping to Toronto is only $3.45.

Just waiting for one more person to confirm interest. daouda I'd have to send the package through a Priority Mail® International Small Flat Rate Envelope, which costs about $25, are you OK with that?

You can find cheaper than USPS priority, first class is good enough for me (not that slow, and NEVER had any trouble receiving my stuff with it). A friend of mine recently sent me some small stuff (more than 150g for sure) from the US (boston) and it was around 6 dollars... plus when i get stuff from iherb (up to to 4 pounds) the shipping (used to be UPS, now DHL) is 4 dollars. ALso last ebay sellers in the US charged me 3 dollars (USPS First Class Mail or package Intl) for an item wheighing much more than 150g and relatively voluminous

If we split 5 ways that would be 200g per person. Lets ad 20 more grams for the ziplock back weight etc, 220g= 7.8 oz

OK so here are the rates for First-Class Mail® International Large Envelope to france for 7.8 oz item
http://ircalc.usps.c...3&m=1&p=0&o=7.8
8 usd for an enveloppe


If using First-Class Package International Service™ (but i'm pretty sure it should fit neatly in a largish enveloppe when the powder is put in a ziplock bag)
http://ircalc.usps.c...3&m=6&p=0&o=7.8
12.75 usd


It shouldnt be much more hassle sending it to me using either service than sending it to you fellow countrymen, and i'm ready to pay the above charges, so I think it'd be unfair not to consider my offer just because I'm not american... but it's up to you of course

No, you're definitely in the group buy. I haven't sent packages internationally so I wasn't sure what would be the costs.

I think that fills up all 5 spots.

I'll get back to you guys galls with my paypal info to the users that have shown interest, with the amount of the item+shipping.

I'm just waiting for the supplier to let me know the payment method.
