    How interesting that The Statement is no longer on Crush homepage.
    Unfortunately, Flawless charges a $35 'restocking fee' and other goodies. See their Policies, Return and Refunds.
    Haven't checked the others; they probably charge as well. What a joke.

      @Mydogdaryl423 couldn't agree more. Ive watched and learned from this site and there's one poster here who seems to have some sort of weird energy towards CRUSH. Over the last year I've order from a few vendors but in the last 6 months its really come down to crush and nexaph depending on the price. Sometimes crush has the better deal and sometimes its nexap but both have been great from pricing, delivery, customer service etc. Theres plenty of vendors that truly suck crush is not even close to that.

      @mandangox28 I have been first told to shake the vial more to get whatever was in the vial to dissolve, which it never did. Duncan responded to me to offer a refund on the 6 vials if I shipped them back so they could research what happened. That is the best I could ask for after receiving a contaminated or whatever you want to call what is left on the sides of the vial. I will update after I get a refund.IMG_4962.jpeg )

        @Mydogdaryl423 I can only show what happened with my first reconstitution of Crush peptides. What was left in the vial is gross 🤮 There response was “try to shake it”. Crush I have reconstituted at least 100 vials and never saw anything like this.IMG_4963.jpeg IMG_4962.jpeg IMG_4961.jpeg

        @beachfun I'm a bit lost what is stuck exactly? If you mean the droplets then that's water capillary action. It won't move around smoothly like oil. That's happened to my vials too.

        Don't mean to dismiss your concern and a pic has limitations to convey the problem, but just trying to understand if this is misguided.

        This was not a Crush vial and was successfully researched.

              Im not sure why I am tagged. Your post is about a possible reconstitution issue and by the looks of it you researched it anyway. My post was how a hypothetical situation was being explained as if it had happened and it was misleading.

                I won’t fault Crush for that policy, others are doing the same thing for good reason. I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with Rory, I’m a picky consumer and he’s answered every question I sent his way, I trust him much more than I trust most in this business.
                Don’t like his policies, but from someone else, Crush doesn’t deserve to be trashed, this thread took a rather childish turn.

                  @pep_researcher Dude! How can you make that statement without even looking at ALL the photos throughout my posts. I reconstituted 2 ml of Hospira and if you look at the other pictures I provided there is CLEARLY something that will not dissolve on the sides of the vial. Coincidentally, I reconstituted a Semax from Nexaph at the same time. I have contacted Crush and they offered a refund of the 6 vials that I purchased. This one was stored in my refrigerator while the other 5 were in my freezer storage. Crush said they want to research what happened. I removed the reconstituted peptide and added it to the 5 ml of saline as I had already prepared my spray bottle. I am happy Crush wants to research this problem. Jeff says “a vendor is only as good as until they are not”. Those are not water droplets, there is a contaminant present and I am waiting for a shipping label to send back all 6 vials I purchased in June.IMG_4956.jpeg

                    This was the most important part. Which was not conveyed originally. They did the right thing. Glad to hear it.

                        @Randy 2 ml of Hospira in preparation for a nasal spray. My Nexaph Semax diluted perfectly normal right after reconstituting the Crush PT141 purchased June 2026 with the blue transparent cap and silver crimp ring.
                        It’s very gross…and it is ready to go back for a refund and their analysis hopefully.image.jpg Those are NOT just water droplets left on the walls of the vial.

                          @Eleanor I contacted Crush to request a return with a video clearly showing something was not dissolving in the vial after reconstituting it with 2ml of Hospira.
                          Duncan got me a shipping label and I sent 6 vials back and after seeing they received it on tracking, I nudged him for my refund and he just wrote that he will refund my card for the full amount I paid.
                          I ended up buying a new kit from Nexaph who just happened to be having a real sale which got me 10 for around the refund of the 6. Most importantly I have never had anything undissolved in a vial or asked for a refund from Nexaph.
                          Crush stood tall as long as my refund goes through today. I am only out some Hospira and some time but gained the experience that I am sharing today. Whatever happened, I strongly suggest forgiveness as nobody is perfect and things happen.

                            "Important dilution note: Cloudiness after dilution is most commonly associated with non-pharmaceutical-grade dilution solution. Cloudy product concerns are not eligible for refund unless Pfizer pharmaceutical-grade dilution solution was used."

                              @Eleanor I’ve often wondered about sites that sell their own BAC vials. If there’s an issue with cloudiness or reconstitution while using their branded material, would they still say you should have used only pharmaceutical-grade products instead of what they sold you? That question has been on my mind lately with the recent reconstitution issues.

                                  Why is Rory selling the company now? I'm a big fan of Crush and what Rory has done for testing. Sort of bummed he's getting out and becoming an advisor to new owner.

                                    @sternmd It's a lot of headache to run a business, deal with customers complaining about products blah. Plus if he's not looking to build multiple mansions on the peptide business, it makes sense to do exit after establishing customer base and become advisor with less headache and still some money. 🙂

                                    Who knows maybe he will start a telehealth, if FDA finally move the popular compounds to cat 1. 🤞

                                      @pep_researcher yeah - all respect to that dude. Honestly, he's the GOAT and so many other vendors and researchers owe alot to him, his testing rigor, and even his pen education. Wish him the best. A+ guy and I have had nothing but great success ordering there.

                                        @steiny Note this is not just pharma grade but PFIZER pharma grade. they thought to get away with it not using the name HOSPIRA.

                                          Why is Rory selling the company now? I'm a big fan of Crush and what Rory has done for testing. Sort of bummed he's getting out and becoming an advisor to new owner.

                                          @sternmd He posted yesterday that in order for the company to grow it needed more time, management and resources than he could provide. He's going back to his engineering job. He's also starting a skin care line with his daughter.
