As always, really appreciate your honest and trying to keep us regular guys in the know. I know you’ve answered 100 questions like this so I apologize in advance but is stock on things like Test/EQ/NPP looking good still?This is what I'm gathering. It's no guarantee that I'm right, but I'm speaking to many US domestic sources and Chinese raw powder sources. Out of all the powder manufacturers that I speak to some say we are closed indefinitely, some just say "sorry, no inventory" and others don't reply at all. I've had many domestic finished product sources (like myself) contact me asking who is selling raws. Saying they can't find any. I'm talking about sources we all know. A few packs have made it through here and there, but we're dealing with a ramped up customs, Chinese labs running for their lives (not joking) and warehouses full of packages not being shipped due to tariff war.
Imo, what you're seeing now is existing stock. That goes for pretty much everything aas. All we can do is pray things get better before that stock is gone. Some of us larger and more experienced sources had/have a decent amount of stock. So, it's not just Primo and mast. Those were just the first to go. Var is probably next. I hear rumor some items may not return like Mast and var. I think it's due to pollution. These are things I'm hearing.
That being said, I'm also hearing things can go back to normal in a few months. That did say that a few months ago and they opened up for a minute then the Chinese sources closed down and started running for their lives again.
My 2 cents is that it's not going back to normal any time soon if ever. Maybe it comes back, but prices for raws and quality will probably take a big hit. China shutting down is cyclical. I've been around for a while. Seen it many, many times. This one is very, very different.
If you find Primo or Mast I'd stock up, but I'd also be wondering if it's real.
I don't say these things to drum up business. I truly don't need any more sales. Slammed beyond belief. I just want to keep you guys informed. Now, you gotta ask yourselves do you think it's coming back in a few months or do you think things will get darker.
I ask because I’m planning to make an order within the next 3ish weeks and just hoping you’ll still have plenty for my doomsday order lol. Thanks again!
