Peptide Test message about Hospira pricing
-
Message received from Peptide Test. Let the panic buying begin!
Hi everyone,
We want to give you advance notice of some upcoming disruptions in the market for Hospira bacteriostatic water. We are being told by our wholesalers that Pfizer is in the process of another large price increase which may be as high as 65%. Because of that our pricing will very likely be going up in the near future.
This isn't a decision we're happy about. We've built this business around trying to offer the best available pricing on legitimate Hospira products and keeping other lab supplies available and fairly priced as well. We even recently lowered our ground shipping rates to help smaller buyers. That focus hasn't changed, but unfortunately this pending increase is simply a result of what Pfizer is charging us.
To give you fair notice and time to plan, all of our current BAC water inventory will stay at the current price until it sells out. Once that stock is gone, it is likely that new pricing will take effect. If you've been planning to order, now is a good time to do so.
To make sure everyone has a fair chance at current pricing while supplies last, we're limiting orders to 25 vials per customer per day.
We are constantly checking pricing in the wholesale market and doing everything within our power to mitigate this situation.
@pep_researcher - I was ready for some so I went ahead and ordered 5 @$15 from PT with the free shipping which will hold me over for a while. I also use Hospira NaLc BAC for some peps and Genetek BAC (India). I see a lot of folks going with Lambda, but not enough of a gap from Hospira price for me. Genetek has been excellent and cheap as chips.

they are trying to destroy this market.
I don't think Pfizer cares about RUO market. The prices have skyrocketed because there is a shortage, due to a lot of illiterates flooding this space and ordering crates to throw away entire bottle after 28 days by using 2ml to recon Tirz vial.
H BAC is available only on prescription. When those things go on shortages the distributors have obligations to first satisfy demands of health facilities, and de-prioritize any other fringe research demands.
Then the middle men ration like Peptide Test or jack up prices to milk the shortage.
Don't overthink, I think Pfizer is a huge multinational corp. RUO is still a pretty small space in that comparison.
@pep_researcher And just like that, prices are back to where they were on Peptide Test, imagine that.

@Stevepep They are still charging $16.5 per my browser. But they removed that 25 per order limit now.
See I was saying this all along that this cycle has been going on for the past couple of years now. Yet people fall for someone calling wolf every time again and again

@pep_researcher In fairness to all the Chicken Littles, the powers that be shutting down vendors and content creators along with supply disruptions does nothing to encourage more prudent behavior. And it isn’t like a lot of the content creators aren’t fueling the panic.

... I see a lot of folks going with Lambda, but not enough of a gap from Hospira price for me....
Isn't that gap nearly $30 per bottle? I got six 30ml bottles of Lamba for $54. They have been great and testing out nearly as well as Hospira (I believe even better in one test).

I got an email from an Amsco rep (apparently you get put on an email list with no unsubscribe button when you create an account) and it says the price to distributors is going up at the end of the month and they expect a box of 25 to go to $500 when that takes effect (currently at $315 per box). I am not sure how they expect to sell any with a price increase like that. Maybe they will, though. Pretty soon Hospira is going to cost more than the peptides, lol.
Makes me think we will start seeing blow out sales a couple months before the expiration dates going forward. It would be funny if they are unable to sell any.

@Shifted This might backfire if they are trying price gouging. Just today FDA committee cleared 4 popular peps for compounding, one of them is BPC, don't remember others.
They are making decisions on 4-5 more tomorrow. Pharmacies like Empower are already geared up to start production.
Also after the last wave of FDA activities against compounded Tirzepatide everything is back to business as usual.
Then the flooding towards RUO may go down and demand for Hospira too, and its prices too. Just a guess.

@Commander agreed. hopefully some competition enters the space soon

I posted the the link to BAC made in India and used in Australia by hospitals, clinics (pep freaks, lol!).

https://bacteriostaticwaterusa.com/@Eleanor I don't think this is the same Genetek company as the Indian one.
The Indian Genetek BAC comes in small 10ml plastic ampoules. Randy had posted an Indiamart link.

People, let's wait and see. How many times have we seen this in the last two years? It's always been a ploy to get people to order like mad. Send an email "order now because the price is going to double". Look at peptide test after the big 60Pct price hike email. Still the same price over a month later, and no order restrictions, no sell-outs per day.
The sad part is it works and gets people in a frenzy, so they go back to it over and over and move a bunch of inventory when sales slow down.

@Stevepep I totally agree with you. When people get scared of something getting close to being a shortage, it causes panic and drives up sales. Is a supple and demand market. Look how many times it drove up sales in just toilet paper and even Isopropyl alcohol. Living on the East coast every time there's a threat of a hurricane people buy in bulk and stock up. Prices go up due to scarcity. (Gas) We really need to follow the money and see who has the larger stake in increased market sales. It sure is not me.

https://bacteriostaticwaterusa.com/@Eleanor Looks good to me. Pharma-grade quality. I'm may get a small vile and try it. I will still filter it...maybe...lol Bacteriostatic Water USA

https://bacteriostaticwaterusa.com/These prices are actually higher than if Hospira was $500 a case…
The goal is lower prices, not higher ones. It needs to be below $10 for 30ml. -

Exactly. I will never purchase from Peptidetest again. And I used to buy all my BAC water, needles, syringes from them. They went from having $11 bottles available all day to then saying there is a shortage and doing daily drops of 600 bottles so you should buy now at $15 a bottle and limiting you, to now having as many as you want 400 vial boxes available and a new single vial price of $16.50 a bottle. All in the span of what 2-3 months? I don't believe there is an actual shortage. But they and others were able to create a temporary artificial supply issue and were able to move the avg price up across the market.

@commander I haven't looked at price since I first posted the link so I'll take your word for it.
@stevepep I can't speak for the world but don't think anyone is in a frenzy here, just looking for alternatives, in case. I think I bought a total of 3 whole vials while they were at $15 and have plenty; and I use a lot of BAC.
