Those are fine - I have used them in the past . But they are in a 2ml ampoule . I prefer to use a1 ml ampoule. If Panpharma is unavailable I use the Pascoe b12 depot ampoules. They are 50% stronger ( 1.5 mg) but are 1ml

Also 1ml is better if you are injecting sun-cutaneously.

Best wishes.

Sorry for late reply. I am wondering how you inject the larger amount of Serum. Can it be injected in one go or do you inject half then change needles and inject in a different area?I have been injecting Sub Cutaneous for a while but can go back to intra muscular if necessary.

I see these are a 100 pack. Two questions:

Are they also in x10 packs?

What is the cost threshold for duty to kicks in?

Thanks

They are obtainable in single packs of 10’. I don’t know about duty payable , but I’ve never been charged since Brexit ,

Duty is applicable on goods worth more than£135.00 . BUT , VAT is also applicable on any amount .! Also Royal Mail charge £8.00 for dealing with goods that have any sort of tax payable !

Thanks WEDGEWOOD, I buy mine in lots of 20 or 30 (2 or 3 packs) and never been charged. I seem to recall once someone on here purchasing 100 or more and had a hefty duty added. What quantities do you order at one go?

Usually 5-6 packs .I have ordered 10 packs of Panpharma when the price was good , but i’ve never exceeded £135.00 worth

But I believe that 20% VAT can be charged on any amount we import from EU , but I’ve never been charged VAT either . I have been charged VAT on goods from USA , plus the Royal Mails £8.00 handling charge .

I read that VAT is not charged when you buy from Amazon.de , as it’s already included in the price you pay ( Some people buy B12 ampoules from German Amazon )

I have a blog page which (I hope) explains the details.

In summary, less than £135, and the vendor collects the VAT at time of purchase.
