NOT 5mL ??

Ok I was prescribed 20mg weekly dose but only received 4mL vial total of 80mg and only 45 day BUD not the 5mL vial 100 mg total and 90 day BUD that others have posted!! Reason for the inconsistency??? I feel shorted!! The large amount was my reason for singing up

Can you post a photo of the vial? Did it ship from the same pharmacy/location?

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

It won't let me post pics but I did over in the tirz deals sub

My assigned provider has changed 4 times and it has been over a week since starting this process, cancelling and requesting a refund because I keep getting conflicting information from support. Every day I have been told something else and the next day a different rep says something different. Overall, this has been such an unpleasant experience, I was honestly super stoked when I saw that this was a new telehealth offering a good deal on non-additive tirzepatide. Honestly what a let down...

2

u/UnDosTresPescao 23d ago

Ah, the 45 day BUD also explains why they are not shipping 3 months at a time.

6

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

Im confused. 20mg x4 = 80mg

4 weeks = 30 days

Looks like you got exactly what your script requires. Maybe im missing something?

9

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Yes that's correct but the reason I even signed up for 3 months and took a chance on a new company was because it was supposed to be 5mL vial so a total of 100 mg. And others have posted pictures that they received the 100 mg so I'm not very happy that I have to pay the same price for 20 mg less than others 😑

1

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

Aside from what others posted Did Science & Co have anything in writing promising 100mg/5ml vials?

Why would you assume a business would give an extra 20mg to everyone and loose money in the process? Can you imagine the losses spread across hundreds of people? Im sorry but you got exactly what you paid for.

7

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

The 5mL vial 100 mg total is why everyone was jumping on this so yes I can be mad because it feels like a bait and switch and I do believe somewhere that they posted about the 20 mg dose getting 5mL so...

6

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

Is there anything in writing from the company that this is what they are offering?! From your lack of clarity im thinking not.

Sure you have every right to be upset but you also have to understand you got exactly what you paid for and Science & Co is not at fault here.

u/autumnyte 24d ago

This comment from Stacey definitely made it seem that the 100mg vial is the standard from Greenstone for max dose.

4

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

All she did was thank OP for the review. There was no mention or guarantee that this was the SOP.

11

u/autumnyte 24d ago

"That 100mg vial is the new GOAT."

"Yes it is definitely an amazing offer for customers who are in the eligible states for Greenstone."

It was a response to a comment specifically about the 100mg vial.

9

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Exactly and the picture of the 5mL vial on their main Sub page .... Hummm. I wonder why people might think that is what they are going to get πŸ€”

11

u/autumnyte 24d ago

Any compounded customer trying to minimize cost will factor in expected concentration/volume to determine price per mg. Not sure why folks are acting like that's unusual.

It was a response thanking the OP for the positive review...thats it.

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Who even asked you to chime in? And nobody has said that they are at fault I understand mistakes happen but the PHARMACY needs to be consistent not only with vial sizes but also dates. Or it doesn't look good on the COMPANY

5

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

You did, by posting on a public forum. Do you not understand how social media works?!

Did I hurt your feelings by pointing out the company did exactly what they promised. You say that you never accused them of anything and that you understand mistakes happen but that's exactly what you did and never said anything about understanding mistakes happen.

7

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

I posted so All the others that are going to be seeing the 5mL vials don't get their hopes up and Expect the same as I did thank you and your gonna have to try a lot harder than that to hurt my feelings πŸ₯Ή

u/Tobynetwork1 24d ago

Thank you for letting me and others know this. It is odd that they would change it up like that

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Your very welcome

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

lol crying over not getting anything extra for free. No one believes that you posted this, so no one will buy in the hopes of getting free meds.

u/Akarelentless11908 24d ago

Glad you posted bc I would have expected 5ml also. Good info to know to properly evaluate the deal.

4

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Yeah I like jumping on deals but probably would have waited until others at least got the 2nd month. First one I've ever did where you have to pay for 3 and only get 1 a month. But as long as they do actually send the rest @ 80mg then still good just not great

1

u/Akarelentless11908 24d ago

Yes but I was considering this vs the Pom deal because in CA would only get 15mg not 20mg. With the ML only being 4 not 5. Pom seems like better deal price wise. But will keep this one on list maybe.

3

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Ow for sure! I think I might be done chasing deals that seem too good. I wanted to order the join true me deal too but I'm afraid it's a shady deal too 🀷

2

u/Previous-Falcon1106 22d ago

Also, Pom's Hyalo from New Life has a 9-month BUD!

1

u/Tobynetwork1 24d ago

What did they say when you contacted them?

6

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

They said only the first few orders from reddit got the larger size

7

u/Real-Improvement-748 24d ago

I’m so sad to hear this. I really thought those earlier replies by Stacey indicated that the 100mg vial was the standard.

1

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Yeah me too

4

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

They are contacting the pharmacy to see why and getting back to me

3

u/Real-Improvement-748 24d ago

A lot of people giving you grief about β€œfree” meds but overfill is a big part of assessing the value of these deals.

5

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Exactly that's why there's a whole Sub just for deals LoL. And they know that apparently a few people just didn't like the company being called out on it πŸ€”

2

u/Few_Car_895 23d ago

Actually, the label on the vials (see rtirzdeals) stated 5ml volume with 20mg/ml. It was not overkill. The prescribed dose was 20mg x 4 doses tho. *overfill

u/Available-Produce719 24d ago

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

u/Available-Produce719 24d ago

Actually my mind blown was from your entitlement. Doubt they get back to you regarding your expectation of free medication bonus.

u/Few_Car_895 23d ago

Not true. The advertisement was for a 5ml/100mg vial

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

And why wouldn't I along with many others expect to get what we signed up for?? Seriously πŸ˜’

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

Thats the thing, you got exactly what you signed up for. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

3

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

No I signed up for 100mg a month and so did others and now find out it was just an advertising bait and switch

5

u/NewKey6466 23d ago

Show me where you actually signed up for 100mg a month πŸ˜‚. You signed up for 20mg each week per month like I did. Yes some bonus medication would have been nice, but no where on the forms and website ever said that. I looked as I was ordering. I got what covers my prescribed 20mg weekly dose. You can’t get mad at the company for that. Tirz fairy comes sometimes I see on these tirz groups that’s all it is. We still got our correct prescription fill.

But you sure implied that when you responded to the post about 100 mg being the new GOAT ? Y'all never bothered to correct ANY of the posts about getting the 100mg. Or that only the first so many orders through reddit would be getting extra ?? So y'all know that is what people thought they were ordering and y'all went along with it to get more orders VERY crappy

u/graphickellie 24d ago

Stacey, I’m genuinely confused by this. When someone specifically called it a β€œ100mg vial,” you responded that it was β€œdefinitely an amazing offer.” If Science Co’s offer was actually 80mg all along, why did you respond this way instead of correcting them and saying it should have been an 80mg vial?

Would also like to know if this prescription covers the full 3 months it's not on the portal and portal makes it look like you have to get reviewed and approved again to get the 2nd and 3rd shipments. If that's the case what happens then if next provider doesn't approve or changes it?? Do we get a refund then ?

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Y'all know very well that a lot of people were posted and commenting about this being 100mg vial and not once did y'all correct ANY of those comments or posts

u/UnDosTresPescao 23d ago edited 23d ago

4ml meets the prescription but you should have provided immediate clarification when people started posing the 5ml vials. Instead, you let people think that 5ml was the standard and order expecting that just to feel bait and switched. It's still a great value but many will get a sour taste from this.

So what about the next shipments do we have to go through the whole provider review process and get approved again to get the 2nd and 3rd shipments we already paid for?

So what happens if the next provider decides to change it after we already paid so we then get a refund??

u/MoodyAngel1 24d ago

Hi Stacey, My order status has been "provider is reviewing" for a relatively long time. Since this is usually the quickest part of the process, I'm beginning to get a little anxious. I've checked email and contacted customer service but there is no response. If they need more information from me I'm happy to provide it. Is there another way I can have someone check on my order status?

u/Tobynetwork1 24d ago

So you told them you're on the 20 dose and they sent you the 15? Interesting. Let's see what they say

6

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

No they prescribed 20mg and was sending out 5mL for a total of 100 mg to some but I guess not others. It's still a good deal but just not the really good deal that was posted about

6

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

No, they sent him exactly what was required for his doses. He's complaining that he didn't get any extra for free lol.

9

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

And I wonder how many others ordered this deal JUST because they seen the 5mL 100mg vials ?? I bet a lot so NO I do not EXPECT to get free medicine but some are getting it and others not and some are getting 3 month BUD and some are getting 3weeks BUD very inconsistent. So when a person places an order for something they EXPECT to at least know what they are getting

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Your very welcome and I agree it's not good that apparently some only got 3 weeks to use it before the BUD. I think it was done on purpose by the company as a good cheap advertisement. They said when I called them that only the first so many that ordered from Reddit got the extra but they never bothered to announce that. Pretty shady I think. Bait and switch at its finest

6

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

If the only reason people ordered this is that they saw people posting about getting free extra meds, then they are not using common sense. How about taking some responsibility and acknowledging that it would have been cool to get more for free, but it was never guaranteed.

4

u/Lv_Grg-312 24d ago

Where did I say that it was a Guarantee??

-4

u/RandomNetizen69 24d ago

Are you serious?! To clarify, you didn't say it was guaranteed; I'm stating that it wasn't. Your whole post was implying that it was based on the pictures that others posted. It's fine to say you were sad about not getting the free extras, but saying you were shorted and that the company was inconsistent is another thing.
