With the China raw material situation getting more difficult, I am wondering how European-based users are managing. In Germany the options have always been more limited than UK or US but now even the more reliable sources are showing gaps in their compound lists. I have found one international source that ships to Germany reliably, which is what I use now. But curious if others in Europe or elsewhere have found that reliability has stayed consistent or are you also seeing more stock problems and price increases in the last 6 months?

Yes, same in Munich. Stock has been less predictable for primo and var especially. Test compounds are still fine. I use international source now that ships to Germany, delivery is reliable. I think the domestic European options will struggle more as the raw supply problem continues. International labs with established supply chains and stocks already built up will be more stable.

Netherlands here. Same pattern, basic testosterone compounds are fine, specialty items like primo and certain peptides are harder to find or more expensive. Labs that have been operating long enough to have stockpiled before the restrictions hit are the ones holding up. The newer or smaller operations are feeling it more. Stick with established sources that have a track record. The supply disruption will likely continue for at least another 12 months based on what I am reading.
