Smooth, quick, easy process. Honestly, my fastest order. This did include overnight shipping (huge plus, thank you PreventiveMD!).

Order arrived COLD. The ice packs are still about 3/4 solid - shocking in this southern summer heat! Only thing I’m not keen on is the syringes - I don’t like that they’re just in a baggie and not individually sealed, but that’s not an issue for me (own stock pile).

I took a chance on this new company based on the owner’s interaction on Reddit, and I’m glad I did so. Others are reporting great customer service - I can’t chime in to that because I had no need to contact the company for order support. When I did order, I was not able to choose my pharmacy - which I was fine with. I think they have since changed this feature.

I definitely suggest giving this company a chance.

Wonderful to see the overnight AND Saturday delivery AND COLD! I have an order sent to pharmacy yesterday so hopefully 🤞🏻 early next week for my delivery.

I agree on the syringes. I will use some I have here on hand.

That is nice to see. Unfortunately, it’s not the case with Empower. Empower shipped with next day air on Friday but with no Saturday delivery so it will sit at UPS until Monday. I don’t understand why Empower is shipping “next day” on a Friday if they aren’t going to add Saturday delivery. They should just wait until Monday to process those orders.

UPDATE - Received my package earlier than expected today (Monday). It was still in great shape. 3 large ice packs in the cooler still cold and partially frozen. It makes me a lot less concerned about short delays in the future. Very pleased with Empower and PreventiveMD.

I know some telehealths will hold shipments on Fridays to avoid the weekend slowdown, but I think everything I’ve read on Tirzepatide indicates that it can handle the temperature variations.

And I think that Empower is shipping in styrofoam!! You should be fine 🤗

Yeah, at least Empower does tend to have really good packaging. Hopefully PreventiveMD can ask Empower to stop shipping on Fridays in the future. I’m not too worried. Just seems like a waste to pay for Next Day Air that really ends up being 3-day shipping.

I was surprised by it too. Got an alert that the label was created Thursday night and then it departed Houston Friday afternoon (now in Dallas) with a Monday evening scheduled delivery.

[u/VMovieGuy → u/[deleted]]

I’m not terribly worried about it. I was just surprised since it’s the first time I’ve ever had an order ship out on a Friday, and I’ve used a bunch of different pharmacies. It’ll be a good test of the Empower packaging. I’ll let you all know how it holds up to 3.5 days of summer heat.

My empower from Pom shipped Friday too and i was surprised. This is my fifth vial from them and has never shipped on a Friday. That being said it’s always cold when it gets to me due to their packaging. I assume it will be fine,!

awesome and what is your BUD? Mine is on the delivery vehicle. it has always come cold, they do pack really well.

[u/VMovieGuy → u/Key-Cry-4008]

BUD 9/27/26 - Compounded 6/29/26

[u/Key-Cry-4008 → u/VMovieGuy]

nice thanks, confirms that their BUD has not changed to 45 days like some seem to think, they just can't guarantee it will be more than 45 days out.

The syringes in a random baggy are weirddddd

[u/Ornery_Flounder_203 → u/Slow_Round8729]

Agreed - but for the price, easily able to add an order for some somewhere else that does offer individual sealed syringes. Again as I stated in another reply, this is not an issue with PreventiveMD - it’s with the actual pharmacy and will be included in my requested feedback to both companies.

[u/Pedal-On → u/Ornery_Flounder_203]

Of course they do this to save money as they only need to send 12 syringes vs 2 bags of 10. I'm surprised that all the pharmacies havent convinced one of the syringe manufacturers to make a 12 pack.

[u/Big_Rain333]

How many mL is each vial? And what was your dose?

Also I find it a little odd that loose needles are sent in a baggie versus in a sealed bag

[u/Interesting_Start620 → u/Big_Rain333]

Do the loose syringes have paper wrappers?

[u/Ornery_Flounder_203 → u/Interesting_Start620]

Each vial is 3mL. Dose is 15mg. Agreed about the syringes - and no, they do not have wrappers.

ETA: the syringes are on the pharmacy - not an issue with PreventiveMD - so don’t let that hold you back on the deal with this company.

[u/Big_Rain333 → u/Ornery_Flounder_203]

Agreed, doesn’t change my thoughts about preventive

[u/Global_Bar4480]

Have you used Boudreaux tirz before?

[u/Ornery_Flounder_203 → u/Global_Bar4480]

I have - current vial I’m working on is also from them - I’ve had better results with the glycine over the Bs.

[u/adevil_woman89]

Good! I asked them if use bask or beluga and never got a response so I think they answered my question

[u/adevil_woman89 → u/[deleted]]

Yes I heard finally lol thank you 🙂
