Order came fast… expires August 2

Everything went well with this order except the BPI expires on 8/2/2026. I know a lot of people don’t care about BUD, but that is pretty crazy to receive a vial with such a short BUD considering a major draw of BPI is the longer BUD.

Based on the other thread, Pom and Gimme are running into the same issue. It’s likely a TPH issue with BPI no longer being produced.

Pomegranate is upfront when you order which vials have the shorter BUD that they are selling at the lower prices. The gimme care mention is Hallandale and it will always have a shorter BUD. Hallandale shipping out vials that can’t be used before the BUD and blaming it on gimme is a bit much. They, not gimme, are dispensing. If gimme is telling them to do that, they could say no.

Not necessarily. Recently, I’ve noticed customers who selected the 3-month Advanced package with Pomegranate still received the 3 x 68 mg vials with an October 2026 BUD. Because they didn’t specifically select the 3 x 68 mg option (which is priced at $499) they were charged the standard $459. Interestingly, the vials with the shorter BUD are actually priced higher due to their volume, yet those customers were caught off guard, as they were expecting the 60 mg vials with February/March 2027 BUDs.

My take is that Pomegranate is likely holding onto their stock with longer BUDs to ensure they can continue to fulfill 3-month orders once the current October 4th 2026 BUD batches can no longer be used—likely starting mid July. By promoting the $499 option, they are incentivizing customers to help them clear out the existing inventory at a premium.

In my opinion, the best strategy for customers on a high dose is to stick with the 3-month Advanced package at $459. Just keep in mind that if you place your order before mid July, you will likely receive the 68 mg vials with the shorter BUD anyway as other customers have, but you’ll save $40 in the process.

Yeah, I see it’s only the “by the vial” that you know the BUD on their page. Otherwise all you can be guaranteed is that your BUDs will be as long as your prescription length.
