I was literally about to order from them because of the price point. Is there a consensus on whether they're still worth trying? The prices are about $20-30 cheaper than most alternatives I've found.

My honest take: if you're price-sensitive and willing to do your own QC testing, they CAN be a good option. But if you want set-it-and-forget-it reliability, there are better choices at a slightly higher price point.
I'd say order once, send it to Janoshik ($120 for peptide HPLC testing), and if it comes back clean you have a baseline. But keep testing periodically. The $120 test is worth it for peace of mind when you're injecting something into your body.

Fair summary. I'll add that their tirz specifically has been more consistent than their sema in my experience. Three tirz orders all tested between 97.1% and 97.8% via HPLC. It's the semaglutide that's been variable.
Maybe they have different suppliers or different compounding procedures for each peptide. Either way, something to be aware of.

That's an interesting data point about tirz vs sema consistency. Would love to see if others can corroborate that.
One more thing about Hallandale — check your state regulations before ordering. They've had issues shipping to certain states due to pharmacy board restrictions. Last I checked they couldn't ship to NY or NJ without additional documentation from your prescriber. Not a dealbreaker but it adds friction.

Updating my original review: just got order #6 in the mail. 3-day shipping, cold packed properly, COA matches the vial batch number, and subjectively the product seems fine. Sending to Janoshik this week and will update with HPLC results.
I'm cautiously optimistic they may have tightened up their QC. Or it could just be another "hit." Will keep documenting either way.
