    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.

      @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.

      @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.

              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.

              @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.

                  @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. 🤞

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

                              @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.

                                @DocCherie you could tell the company needed deeper pockets with the ebb and flow of drops and sales and inventory constraints. Rory really did a lot for peptides and should be remembered as such. Hopefully he stays involved

                                      Got it taken care of 🙂 .. the payment processor was reprocessing payments that they thought didn't go through but mine already had.

                                        @sternmd To a point, he spent a lot of time posting in SM about human use. We don't need that from vendors.

                                          Has anyone used their CC with Crush? I just found a charge from the payment processor Antone they use for 8/6. It's for over $300 and I haven't placed any orders with them since May!

                                          Ok, that's good to know. I hadn't bought from them in a couple of months either and the FRAUD charge on my card was into 4 digits. Don't know if it was Crush but never ordered anywhere near that amount of peps from them. Interesting...
