Buying online can be a minefield

Thanks for sharing your valuable experience with us. I would like to seek your advice on Test Kits, which I believe are not sufficient as these Kits are neither up to the mark nor calibrated to check & authenticate the purchased goods.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been into strength training and bodybuilding for a long time now, but a few years ago, I had to take a break. Life got in the way, and as a result, I saw my body fat percentage skyrocket and lost a lot of the gains I had built over the years. It’s surprising how quickly you can lose years of hard work. But that’s not really what I want to talk about here – it’s about my experience trying to buy gear online and the challenges that come with it.

The gym I go to is modern, but it's a bit of a cold environment. People mostly keep to themselves, wearing headphones and not really engaging in conversation. So when I started thinking about sourcing a bit of gear for myself, I decided to go the route of the internet, which I quickly found is a minefield of scams and unreliable sources.

My first mistake was ordering from a site called “The Steroid Factory.” It looked professional, had good reviews, and seemed like a solid choice. I ordered £200 worth of goods, only to get an email a week later saying that the products were out of stock and I should contact them via Telegram. However, there was no address on Telegram, and they ignored my emails. Long story short, I never received the product, and that was my first real taste of being scammed in this industry.

Even after that experience, I wasn’t ready to give up. I turned to the UKSteroid Shop, starting small with a couple of items. To my surprise, they arrived without any issues. Encouraged by that, I placed a second order. That too showed up, and while I’ve experienced some post-injection pain (PIP), everything seems to be going smoothly. It’s still early days, but so far, the UKSteroid Shop has proven to be reliable.

At my age (64), I know this is probably my last chance to get back in shape. It’s important to me that I have a safe and trustworthy source for gear if I’m going down that road. This is a long-term commitment, and I don’t want to risk my health on shady suppliers or counterfeit products.

I’ve also bought a few testing kits to ensure the products I’ve received are legit, and I’ll be updating everyone with the results once I’ve finished the testing. It’s critical to take every precaution when dealing with supplements, and I want to be transparent about my findings.

I want to take a moment to thank the team at UKSteroid Shop for providing reliable service so far. Trust is hard to come by in this world, and they’ve done right by me so far. Hopefully, my journey back to a better physique will continue without any more bumps in the road.

I’d love to hear if anyone else has had similar experiences, both good and bad. We all need to look out for each other in this space, and sharing our stories is the best way to stay safe and informed.

Thanks for reading!

Hi Steve, any update on your product testing?

Our products are all tested and verified through laboratory analysis before reaching you. You are welcome to visit the lab and conduct your own tests for further assurance.

Are the test reports available on site for us to check?

Hi

they are not lab reports, they just say whether it is good or bad really. this is one of the item numbers on ebay from the seller, eBay item number:167976786859 you can check out the comments and kits he offers

so far I've only tested a few but it shows positive and I'm not on a big dose, 2ml a week for 12 weeks. results wont be like it was when i was younger but muscle memory helps and good diet. already dropped 6% bodyfat and arms just creeping past 18in so pretty happy with results from training and gear but realistically, a year would be about right to notice a significant change. but who ever said this was quick and easy and i so hate cardio day.

Thanks for the detailed update—glad to hear you’re seeing positive results and making solid progress with your training.

I had some of the products I received tested by Labmax in California.

In general the batches I had tested came back as both genuine and adequately dosed.

For example the primo I had tested came back as the correct product at 121mg/ml

Test C 300 came back as 265mg/ml.

Decca 300 somewhat under dosed at 167mg/ml.

The test results are of course only relevant to the batch I had at the time.

but it gave me some confidence in the products.
