Obtaining some hard to get meds

[Lilou]

I paid through paypal. I'm going through the refund procedure with aliexpress, and if I don't get my money back through them then I'll get it back through paypal.

I had a problem ordering a supplement online, paid with paypal. Shipment was coming from Germany. Since I have a credit card linked to paypal, I went directly to the credit card company and filed a dispute. The charges were credited back to me in short order.

The dispute process via paypal seemed like a pain in the arse, so I didn't mess with them. Did get an email from paypal saying I couldn't file a dispute with them since I went straight to the credit card company. A okay with me! So maybe that's an option for you?

Once I opened the dispute through Alibaba, Serena immediately decided to resend the parcel. It arrived safely today.

I went to visit my uncle today and i come back with one important information ... that i didn't much know about.

It's about the Magnesium, or more precisely the Glycinate or Citrate ones as i have both of them.
I thought that with the +/- 1200Mg of Magnesium glycinate it was more than enough per day, considering that it's advised to have from 400 to 600mg per day. But my uncle told me (or re-told me ... don't remember if he mentionned this in the past) that there's only a % of pure magnesium in glycinate magnesium, and we verified and the % is 14,7% (can vary a little bit upon purity). For Citrate, it varies from 11% to 16%. Thus, this means that if one want to ingest 500mg of magnesium per day, he has to take in fact +/- 3,5 grams of magnesium glycinate per day. Good to know for those who buy it in bags of 1 Kg in powder (like me ^^)

... time to say "better late than never"

@dredger, Not sure if you’ve read it, but there is also the Magnesium Miracle thread which is an excellent read about the benefits of Mg, transdermal therapy etc. Gaby’s post here talks about the different types of magnesium, their specific uses, dosages, etc. which may be of some help.

I ordered three packages, one from rxeli, and two from Instead Medex, they all went to customs.

Has anyone from Croatia had any success in obtaining meds without them being taken by customs?

Nope! I'm still waiting, and I've been waiting for two months. It's at Customs from December 11.

Have you notified the seller? Two of my packages were recently held by customs, and I notified the seller as they are the only ones who can inquire about it. After the seller did an inquiry, I received both packages shortly after. It took at least a month to get them.
