Supply issues of NDT

I have been taking NDT for 8 years now with no physical or supply issues.

Ordered from my usual supplier in America at end November.

Order has been sitting at customs somewhere in UK for 3 weeks now.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Hi SlowDragon, yes I am aware of strikes but was wondering if anyone else was waiting this long?

And how long?

American here. The FDA have halted all sales of NDT via threatening letters. NDT has dried up over here, since November. You may be caught up in that. I switched to Thyro Gold from New Zealand end of November. Cost me $90 for a 90 day supply, but I will take it. Spain is producing a pig NDT, supposedly available in UK. Good luck!

"Spain is producing a pig NDT, supposedly available in UK."

No , it isn't available in UK , not as far as we know anyway ..... you suggested this previously on this post,

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

but the company involved (Bioiberica) said they only sell their product to manufacturers in Germany . Netherlands , and Denmark.

I think the delays are indiscriminate -

I received an order yesterday placed on November 21st which was despatched from Nottingham on the 22nd November and arrived in Truro on December 27th:

I was told priority was being given to parcels !!

Assuming this supplier is not a person, and we are talking about the same American source, I've had times where an order has taken well over a month to arrive, and that's without any postal strikes.

One day I complained about it and since then they've always arrived in about 10 - 14 days. But I've just put another order in and will be surprised if I receive it before February. Won't be surprised if goes to March.

For context during covid a testing kit I ordered from London to elsewhere in London, took 2 months to arrive. Nearly 9 weeks. It was ridiculous. Yet meds arrived from Thailand during height of covid in less than a week.

It really is totally indiscriminate as Pennyannie says.

Hope it comes soon..... I do remember in the past there being delays....due to customs. You could try ordering one bottles worth & go for priority postage. Will cost but may bypass customs and hopefully not come via RM. Just to keep u going. I've done that in the past and it worked. Came in 5 days

Assuming we’re talking the same US supplier, I was astonished to get my order last week within 8 days of placing it—and better yet, although the parcel was clearly labelled to show a Customs charge was payable it was delivered directly to me without me having to pay!

I know—I got very lucky indeed. :)

That happened to me last time, was surprised to say the least when my postie handed the parcel to me, not complaining tho' 😁

HiV11Joy,

The NDT that I ordered from Thailand arrived in the UK within a week. It then sat in customs for a month. I have now received it, thank goodness I only had 6 tablets left! Hope yours arrives soon.
