This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.
Landed cost including shipping, fees and currency conversion is what you actually pay, and quotes that look identical frequently are not.
It took me longer than it should have to see that.
Independent testing is a real cost and belongs in the comparison. A cheaper supplier tested every lot may cost more in total.
On balance I think that is right, and I would not bet much on it.
Insurance tier placement: a compound might be covered but on a higher tier (higher copay). Moving to a lower tier usually requires prior authorization or documented failure of cheaper alternatives.
Filing this under things that are true until someone shows me otherwise.
