This is nothing new, the suppliers will come up with new methods all the time too... There was some kind of a crackdown on some online grey market stores some years back. They disappeared and soon emerged again. Its a good idea to get personal contact info from the people running the show in case their official stuff goes down. I've had to do that twice already.

There was a EU wide upgrade on customs data security stuff going on btw, I hope it wont mean more checking of things at my end. Likely not, so within EU things will likely keep going as usual. I think Brexit was a major fuck up with everything, this too, as within EU things are working out nicely, but anything from outside can be a hassle.

Stocking up is always a good idea when ever possible. I'm planning to get extra vials of EEn sorted once I can. For now within EU progesterone cream is easy, so is estriol cream as both are prescription free here from what I understand. But these things can of course change when ever someone decides that we have no freedom on this. Finland is a shithole with medical laws, its super strict and we're not given any personal responsibility or freedom over our bodies. That's why I have to resort to bunch of DIY as there is no other way. I'm breaking laws but fuck the law! My body and health is more important than any law.

Just chekced HRT cafe, appears that a whole list of shops have been attacked within days, just in time for holidays of course so there's likely slower response.
