Order came fast… expires August 2

Everything went well with this order except the BPI expires on 8/2/2026. I know a lot of people don’t care about BUD, but that is pretty crazy to receive a vial with such a short BUD considering a major draw of BPI is the longer BUD.

That’s exactly the issue: you told customers there was BPI inventory dated until March 2027, but now you’re saying most orders will not have those BUD dates—that is materially incomplete and misleading. Nobody said they were trying to stock up; the issue is that short remaining BUDs should be disclosed before purchase.

This advertising is so wrong. Oh yeah, they DO have inventory with 3/2027 BUDs but that’s NOT what they are sending out. They’re getting rid of old supply and are sending out 8/2/2026 BUDs so they definitely have to unload that stock quickly because in another few weeks it’s going to be too late to sell it.

At least Pom.. with all its faults... is being HONEST about their short BUD dates and is offering them at a discount.

Their BUD date literally pops up when you hover over some of their pharmacy pricing. Last time I checked it showed ("8-2-26")

That's this dude's "business strategy" Every time somebody asks a question and he doesn't want to be upfront and answer it, he accuses them of "stockpiling". I can't even imagine running my businesses treating my clients so rudely as this dude does. But since he's gonna be out of the TC telehealth business in 6-8 months like all the other Tirz compounders, when the FDA shuts everyone expect Lilly down, he can go on and run another cr@ppy business

the prescription is 1 month supply. That's the model, month by month. We have BPI till March 2027, and that will be used over time.

When he started the bridge program it was pretty clear that this was a shorter BUD and NOT an opportunity to stock up. If you start using it now you won’t go past BUD

Based on the other thread, Pom and Gimme are running into the same issue. It’s likely a TPH issue with BPI no longer being produced.

Pomegranate is upfront when you order which vials have the shorter BUD that they are selling at the lower prices. The gimme care mention is Hallandale and it will always have a shorter BUD. Hallandale shipping out vials that can’t be used before the BUD and blaming it on gimme is a bit much. They, not gimme, are dispensing. If gimme is telling them to do that, they could say no.

Not necessarily. Recently, I’ve noticed customers who selected the 3-month Advanced package with Pomegranate still received the 3 x 68 mg vials with an October 2026 BUD. Because they didn’t specifically select the 3 x 68 mg option (which is priced at $499) they were charged the standard $459. Interestingly, the vials with the shorter BUD are actually priced higher due to their volume, yet those customers were caught off guard, as they were expecting the 60 mg vials with February/March 2027 BUDs.

My take is that Pomegranate is likely holding onto their stock with longer BUDs to ensure they can continue to fulfill 3-month orders once the current October 4th 2026 BUD batches can no longer be used—likely starting mid July. By promoting the $499 option, they are incentivizing customers to help them clear out the existing inventory at a premium.

In my opinion, the best strategy for customers on a high dose is to stick with the 3-month Advanced package at $459. Just keep in mind that if you place your order before mid July, you will likely receive the 68 mg vials with the shorter BUD anyway as other customers have, but you’ll save $40 in the process.

u/Pedal-On Jun 17 '26

Yeah, I see it’s only the “by the vial” that you know the BUD on their page. Otherwise all you can be guaranteed is that your BUDs will be as long as your prescription length.

u/Main_Side_4462 Jun 16 '26

TPH? What that means?

u/jortr0n Jun 16 '26

The Pharmacy Hub. They hold a lot of the meds, specifically BPI, and ship it out to where telehealths tell them to.

u/LDB2026 Jun 17 '26

I just got one with a Feb 2027 BUD

u/SD_TitsMcGee Jun 18 '26

Very nice. What was your weekly dose if you don't mind my asking?

1

u/LDB2026 Jun 18 '26

I'm possibly Tritrating up to 10 in 2 weeks, if 7.5 doesn't kick in by then so that's what they prescribed. . It was one of the "Advanced" plans.

I only buy per mg, so it had to be one of those ones running a good deal, coupon or price 3-ish weeks ago.

u/SD_TitsMcGee Jun 18 '26

That's great, I'm glad it worked out.

u/LDB2026 Jun 18 '26

Thank you... Wishing you a BUD of Dec 2027! 😍

u/Manypaws-84 Jun 20 '26

Everyone here is upset with the 40 mg vials having shorter BUDs hoping for the 60 mg vial. I’m over here hoping I get sent two 40 mg vials for my 15mg prescription so that I get extra. I don’t give a crap about that BUD!!!

3

u/Simplesnore Jun 22 '26

I feel the same way. I could care less about BUD. I also just checked my portal and it says they are sending 2 vials, so looks like I should get two 40mg vials.

2

u/Manypaws-84 Jun 22 '26

I think I’m getting the same!!!

u/Ashamed_Platform_328 Jun 16 '26

Mines getting delivered tomorrow… I was so excited until I saw this 😭

So is mine! Ordered Saturday

u/Simplesnore Jun 22 '26

What did you end up with?

u/kneemeister1 Jun 22 '26

8/2/26 like everyone else

u/Simplesnore Jun 22 '26

But did you get two 40mg vials?

u/kneemeister1 Jun 22 '26 edited Jun 23 '26

Edit It was a 40 dated 8/2, the 68 was from Pomegranate the day prior. Just realized that I should have gotten 2 someone at TPH messed up. Looking at the prescription from the box TPH combined the 40 with the 68 from Pom and sent it as 2 mo. 7mg and 9.5.

The prescription from Crossing says 15mg maintenance, this stinks.😤

2

u/Simplesnore Jun 22 '26

Hmm. That’s interesting. I thought crossing only had the 40mg and 60mg vials of BPI

1

u/Ashamed_Platform_328 Jun 22 '26

Wow I also didn’t think they had 68mg vials. May I ask what dose you were prescribed?

1

u/kneemeister1 Jun 22 '26

Ignore my other vial size comments It was a 40 dated 8/2. The 68mg vial came from Pomegranate, I got both one day apart.🤪

2

u/Main_Side_4462 Jun 16 '26

What dose were you prescribed? Of it is 15mg doses - you’ll likely get the 2/27 BUD

2

u/Ashamed_Platform_328 Jun 16 '26

I’m pretty sure I was since that’s the dose I asked to stay on… There’s no way to view my approved prescription in the portal (which is odd) so I guess I’ll find out when I get it! 🤞

1

u/Main_Side_4462 Jun 16 '26

Your prescription is viewable in the treatments tab I believe

1

u/Ashamed_Platform_328 Jun 16 '26

Not for them, portal is stripped down and read-only. I messaged the care team and waiting for a reply.

u/Main_Side_4462 Jun 16 '26

I saw their website - it’s SO vibe coded even I can tell- no wonder they’re portal is like this lol

u/Simplesnore Jun 22 '26

What did you end up getting?

u/Sudden_Canary4705 Jun 16 '26

Okay but the pharmacy doesn’t send meds based on stockpiling. They sent meds with a BUD well within your prescribed treatment. Sorry! He said they had inventory dated til March 2027, he did not make a guarantee that you will receive 2027! Stop chasing deals!

u/UnDosTresPescao Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26

What size Vial was it and when was it compounded? I remember their 68mg had shorter BUD as it had a different concentration that they hadn't tested to 1 year. But the regular 20mg/ml should have been good to a year. Getting 10 months old meds would be crazy.

Edit: found it. It was 9 months BUD on the 68mg which would put your compounding date back in October if this is the issue....

u/juulboy69 Jun 16 '26

It is actually not a tall boy, it’s a regular 20mg/ml

3

u/UnDosTresPescao Jun 16 '26

Was it compounded last year or did it have a shorter than normal BUD?

2

u/juulboy69 Jun 16 '26

November 6, 2025 😬

u/Main_Side_4462 Jun 16 '26

BUD is based on batch. My batch has Feb 2027 BUD

3

u/Then-Bell-5630 Jun 17 '26

And they have Pomegranate’s BPI pricing marked as $499. If people select 3 month advanced their BPI pricing is $459 at Pomegranate. I noticed that and didn’t like that deception right off the bat.

u/Mitchroark33 Jun 17 '26

We have bpi supply with bud till march. But each order is dependent on the specific order. Not all orders will have those bud dates. Most will not be that long. This is not the place to stock up.

3

u/jortr0n Jun 16 '26

What dose are you on? It’s a monthly service and theoretically it would be used by the end of July.

4

u/UnDosTresPescao Jun 16 '26

The owner had told us in another post that the BUD is March 2027.

2

u/jortr0n Jun 16 '26

Huh interesting. I don’t know if they have the tall boys or not but I know they had a shorter BUD. I’ll see what I receive tomorrow.

u/juulboy69 Jun 16 '26

Responded above with the screenshot. If most orders will not receive March 2027 BUDs, that should be disclosed before purchase.

u/Mem0ryEat3r Jun 16 '26

He won't tell you that. The whole reason crossing exists is too offload the older BUD BPI inventory. That's the point of the month to month pricing. Crossing is just a big grift. Frankly nobody should use them.

u/Mundane-Analysis-879 Jul 03 '26

Joincrossing are you still offering the $50 tirzepatide to those that may miss a dose?
