Pareto was my first ugl and can attest to their gear working as advertised. However as I've begun to explore other sources, I've come to realize that their products are way overpriced.
Here are some comparison prices between Pareto and another canadian lab here on meso who has the same high reputation. The prices in parentheses is the other lab.
Test Propionate 100mg/ml, 10ml - $60 ($30)
Test Enanthate 250mg/ml, 10ml - $70 ($50)
Test Cypionate 250mg/ml, 10ml - $70 ($50)
Masteron Enathate 200mg/ml, 10ml - $100 ($70)
Tren Acetate 100mg/ml, 10ml - $80 ($50)
Tren Enathate 200mg/ml, 10ml - $100 ($70)
Arimidex 1mg x 50 tabs - $65 ($40)
HCG 5000iu x 1 vial - $90 ($65) >> Note: Their hcg isn't their own brand, it's from "Citadel" another ugl, which they fail to mention on their price list. Also you could be getting pharma 5k IU hcg for $80 from another source here. $90 is quite the ripoff.
Compare their original prices in their first thread to now. The original prices wee more in line with the other labs' prices, but they've been since jacked up due to all their success. You're basically paying a premium for their brand name now. Thankfully Pareto isn't the only source here with solid gear. It would've been nice if someone had made a post like this, could've saved me a decent amount, so I guess I'll be the one to step up and do it.
inb4 shill, competitor, etc. I'm just stating the truth and helping others make more informed decisions.
Your failing to mention the difference in product quality. Your post could mislead ALOT of people who may not be educated.
Your assuming all gear is made the same... that's like you coming on here and saying "shit I have been buying Mercedes my whole life and i just realized I can buy a civic that will get me to Point A and Point B for much cheaper!
I have tried $30 gear and it was the worst experience I have ever had.
I alternate between 3 different labs and pareto is one of the ones I use.
I hope some people that are new to the steroid-game don't read your post and assume that all juice is made the same, Because I have used some of the labs that offer $30 test products and i will say this about the bargain-barrel lab I used once that had $30 test and $40 dbol.
If 2 guys used the EXACT same diet, workout, and cycles, but Person A used $1000mg of $30 test and 100mg DBol from the cheap lab I tried when I got my $30 test
and Person B used the same cycle but used pareto or one of the other 2 labs I alternate between (They are both around the same price as Pareto).... if these two people both used 1000mg test and 100mg Dbol for 12 weeks, ate the exact same meals and did the exact same workouts, Person B using Pareto or one of the other 2 labs of the same price range, Person B would blow Person A out of the water in terms of gains, Anyone I know that has tried to save $ by using cheaper labs has always been disappointed with their cycles, and anyone I know that has used one of the 3 labs I alternate between, has always come away with positive things to say.
Don't be fooled into thinking all steroids are made the same, if you want to save money by purchasing the cheapest gear you can, then you can do that; but enjoy substandard results.
Me on the other hand, I like to get the very most out of my hard work and out of my cycle, so I don't mind spending extra on my gear.
Pareto isn't the cheapest gear out there, they don't claim to be, but they are definitely one of the highest quality labs out there.
