I think there may have been different stopper suppliers over the years. Like with any production business, parts suppliers may have to change from time-to-time.Hopefully quality has stayed consistent since I been using them since 2015. The only thing I thought was weird was the stopper change but I’ve yet to see any difference other than the pressure it takes to puncture and the seemingly less quality top itself. However this isn’t a deal breaker for me and as long as the community can still agree they have good stuff besides 1-2 tests out of many, I’m fine with that to an extent. however with the primo prices through all of this is the biggest thing and I don’t mind paying more for quality I’m just hoping that it continues. All this said as an advocator of these guys because I have had plenty of success and would hate to see anything less of you guys!
But, based upon the quote below, I believe the source has already moved away from the flat/smooth stoppers that people did not like in some batches.
NOTE: this is a separate and different topic than the rare event when stoppers dimple inward due to being pulled inward by lower internal pressure after the hot higher pressure contents from production cool and reduce internal pressure. This may occur with any stoppers and I have seen it in batches as far back as 2016 or earlier -- nothing is wrong in these cases as the contents are still sealed and sterile. In this case, I simply add a little back-pressure into the vial and thoroughly wipe the top with alcohol multiple times and allow to dry (as one should be doing anyway for external sterility) to removed any condensation that may have developed under the cap).These are new stoppers. I mentioned this earlier. Due to issues with old stoppers we changed suppliers. These stoppers will not have such problem like old ones. All newly produced products will be supplied with such stoppers. They are safe.

Chicago customs is the worst in my opinion.Last time I ordered international from them I don’t remember the EU country that they ship from to the US. Yet as of now I have a fairly large(for me) order from wharehouse 2 that’s been in chicago customs for a couple weeks and I’m usually not worried and will wait a couple more it’s just I realized the country it was shipped from was one of the less safe ones out of eu. From my many prior years dealing in darknet international orders I always avoided that country. I’m just worried and if I would have known which country I may not have ordered. Would you boys at pharmacom ever consider posting from a neighboring country of wharehouse 2?
Sorry for the wall of txt and hope to hear some dialogue even if it’s through PM’s.
A couple weeks there and you still have a chance your will move, and there has been massive delays and inconsistencies in the entire postal system since Covid, but after a few weeks there it is likely your pack has been seized.
I have seen packs sit for up to a full month in customs and then start moving again to eventually land at the destination without any issues (had a few over the past couple years with similar time-frames):
However, that is rare -- usually with Chicago if it has not moved out of customs in a couple weeks, it is seized.
Do not worry, Basicstero gives a free reship attempt for all paid items in an order. So all is not lost yet just because of a seizure letter because you can get one more try for free from the source.
If seized contact the source by using the "Contact US" page on the Basicstero site and explain your pack was seized -- the source will offer a free reship with proof of seizure.
Please see my post quoted below for some important details and advice regarding seized packs in case you have never experienced it before:
If you do get a letter from homeland security or US Customs and Border patrol, Do NOT reply to any seizure letters and you will have no trouble.
This letter simply means your package was seized. But you do not yet have any legal trouble as long as you do NOT claim that pack (do NOT reply to the letter in any way).
If you reply or make any claim to ownership of the pack, you may face serious legal issues. For all you know, the pack was not yours and you have no idea what this letter is all about -- if anyone asks, you know nothing and it must be someone sent something to a wrong address. You have never taken possession of the pack and you must not make any claim that it was intended to be yours.
Do not speak to anyone (especially anyone affiliated with law enforcement agencies or the postal service etc), make any statement, or any claims in regards to the pack or seizure -- never reply to the letter.
