Raw powder China price vs USA price?

[master.on]

After watching a Drugs Inc episode showing how the coke kilo price increases as it travels from Colombian jungles

Just for curiosity and informational purposes only
How do USA roid raw powder prices compare to prices in China?
I know it depends on the amount bought but from what I've read in the Internet, prices in America are only about 2x china?

I'm not so sure the US prices aren't on a product that was actually from China. Buy for a dollar, sell for two. SOP.

Most domestic sources I've seen run a 75 to 100 percent markup. Plus it's another set of hands to fuck it up. There's no sense to it, just order from the source. Stealth shipping is great nowadays, shop around a bit. Some ingenious shit, have actually heard a number of stories of people tossing their shit, thinking they got burned, because they couldn't figure it out.

From what Ive heard USA purchases from china anyways as Gramps pointed out. No idea tho.

Any raw powder we have access to comes from China. From one of a small handful of production facilities. It's all the same shit, just different hustlers.

2x margin. If true then powder sources compare unfavorably for finished gear profit margins
average cost for a test vial $5-7, sell (domestic) for $50-70
thus 10x margin

Also how many times it's been stepped on from those sources as well. In country it can still change hands several times as with all products

I'm not sure we see eye to eye on this one.... Not dealing with customs and having to worry about that risk is worth more money spent, to me. Drug dogs aren't trained to sniff AAS, so USPS isn't a huge risk domestically. Plus, if you buy your raws from a UGL you'd buy gear from, the likelihood of it being the same quality of the finished product is high.

In general - let's use test. enan. as an example- is around $1.20 or so per gram from China, give or take okay? Most domestic "re sellers" of raws sell it for around $2-2.50. Now, it's still cheaper than buying finished products, and allows you to have the flexibility of homebrewing your own products.... But doesn't carry the international risk of importing raws through customs. I like it.

True. End of the day, it comes down to what you're comfortable with. I'm not paying a hundred percent markup, but then I don't order single runs either. Sending money to China equates to a near ten year supply of any given compound, for me.

That being said, I won't order oils internationally. Stealth option isn't there, and I'll be damned if I send that much product through customs. Maybe my own branch of paranoia.
