Thanks, I do agree that it may be inappropriate to discuss them too much, but no problem doing so in private.
In general, Biotran used to carry five or six products, his core products probably being two different codeine preparations (as well as DHC). AFAIK he didn't stock anything stronger. You would surf to his very crude web site, print out an order form and send it to his U.K. address without payment, and he would send the product you ordered. You would then send payment, and once he received payment, he would send more product. It was almost like a wine of the month club, only the customer paid after receiving.
You inquire, he sends, you pay, he receives payment and sends the next lot, etc. Also the amount he would send per order increased every order up to whatever he decided you needed, up to a certain amount. If you needed more than his max, you might be able to work something out with him, or he might drop you as a customer or anything in between.
He was difficult to predict, but never dishonest (to me or to anyone else as far as I know). His prices were fair at the time, although I cannot remember what they were.
Were it not for the uniqueness of the way he did business, I would have forgotten entirely about his operation and just ditched the email he sent, but seeing his name raised my eyebrows. In fact, the only reason I am here posting this is because I had to find out if anyone else had recently received an email from him.
The email was from one of his old accounts, but he broadcast it to many dozens of people, all of whom are listed in the To: field. That lack of discretion is a little bit alarming, but it is not all that surprising. Having done business with Biotran for a good while, little they could do would surprise me. If they ever ripped customers off, it would surprise me, but if they somehow called on my cell phone and told me they would send a kilo of raw DHC powder to my door if I stood immobile on my lawn holding a lantern for 8 hours, I would be out front now.
Please feel free to contact by email or any route you like if I can ever help with anything. My post count is obviously nothing to be proud of, but once upon a decade I lived for IOPs (and several probably retired off me).
