Vendor Comparison Site in the UK

Since starting my jabs I'm down about 15 lbs, which I'm chuffed with, but finding a reliable source here in the UK has been the tricky part. Has anyone come across a decent comparison site for UK vendors that's actually kept up to date? I've seen a few listings that look stale, so wondering what you all use to sort the good from the sketchy.

I gave up on comparison sites after finding one still listing a vendor that had shut down months earlier. Now I just check that the pharmacy is on the GPhC register before ordering, takes two minutes and has saved me a few dodgy moments.

How do you actually verify a vendor is current though, do you just check their site still works or is there something more reliable

I check a couple of the comparison sites out of habit but I trust the recent chatter here more. A directory can look tidy and still be months behind, whereas people moan about a bad batch within days.

Do any of those sites show when a listing was last checked? That date is the only bit I bother looking at now, everything else reads like it was written once and forgotten.

The dead link thing matches what I ran into, though I'd add that a site can look current and still be quietly paid to list people. Checking here for an actual recent order beats any directory for me

I gave up on the directories entirely, a recent post with batch photos is worth more than ten of those listings. How long ago does an order have to be posted before you write it off as stale?

Do any of those comparison sites even list batch numbers, or is it just price and shipping? I gave up on them a while back and just lurk for recent photo posts instead.

How often do those directories actually refresh, monthly? I gave up on one after it listed the same price for weeks while the vendor page had already moved on.

Do you actually check how recent the post is, like a date or just whether the batch photos look current? That's the part I never know how to judge

I gave up on the comparison sites entirely, they all looked like they hadn't been touched in a year. The old forum threads are stale too but at least you can see who people actually stuck with

The stale listings bug me too, half of them still quote prices that are months out of date. Do you check the vendor's own site before trusting a comparison, or is that too much faff?

I'm in Tucson so my UK vendor picks are useless to you, but the stale-listing problem is real here too. What I do instead is check when the most recent post on a listing actually is, not the last updated stamp on the page

Do the UK shipping threads here get much traffic? That's the bit I keep meaning to check but never get round to

Do the UK shipping threads still get regular posts? That is what I would check first, a stale thread tells you as much as a stale listing.

Do the UK shipping threads actually name sources outright, or is it more people hinting at where they order from? I gave up on the directory route a while back and never figured out where to look instead.

Do any of the comparison sites at least let you filter by who actually ships from within the UK? That's the bit I keep getting stuck on.

The stale-date thing is real, I kept hitting listings that looked current but pointed to places the shipping threads had gone quiet on. Now I just search a name and see if anyone's vouched for it in the last month or so

How far back do you tend to read in the shipping threads before you trust a name? I've been going about three months of posts and that felt like enough, but I'm never sure if I'm being too cautious.

Which comparison site were you using? I found the same thing, the one i bookmarked kept listing a vendor that had clearly gone quiet, so i just started reading the shipping threads instead.
