This is what their website says: https://www.underworks.com/domestic-shipping

But right now, with Covid interrupting so many aspects of life, I wouldn’t expect anything to arrive on time. 

A lot of places have had to reduce the number of people working to make products in factories, the people in their offices processing things, the people in warehouses getting things ready to ship, etc, all while online orders across the board have increased, which is putting more strain on the system as a whole. So there’s been a big slow down in how long it can take to get your stuff because the chain that gets things places has been affected, which seems to be true regardless of whether where you’re ordering from.

So I know how long it took my binder to arrive from Underworks when I ordered it a few years ago, but I’m not going to try to guess how long it’ll take yours to arrive in the current pandemic. 

If you’ve logged into the website to look at your order and it doesn’t give you the info you’re looking for, you can try contacting them if you’re concerned:

It’s hard for us to keep track of what is and isn’t considered essential in all of the states, and even within a particular field different offices are doing different things so the easiest way to find out if your doctor is having appointments is asking them!

I’d recommend calling the office of the endocrinologist you want to see and saying something like:

If you don’t already have an endo in mind, check out this post for more info on finding an endocrinologist!

Followers, anything to add?

maxicalmysterytour said: I know my primary care office (not the one I get my t through) is still doing well visits, meaning you're not sick or need immediate help. I don't know if other areas/offices are doing this and/or what their respective procedures are, but it's worth checking

No, I don’t see any reason why the two would affect each other in any way. 

However, you should be checking in with your care provider if you do think you have covid-19! You should call them (not go in person) and describe the symptoms you’re having. 

Getting a test probably won’t do much for you- it’s nice to know which virus is causing your symptoms, but it likely won’t change how you should deal with it (avoid people, drink fluids, etc), so don’t head to the emergency room or somewhere to demand a test unless your doc told you to.

Your doctor will likely tell you to self-quarantine if it does seems likely that you have it- again, you probably won’t need to go to the emergency room (and risk exposing other patients/doctors there) unless you’re having trouble breathing or you have a high fever that hasn’t broken. 

But none of that really has to do with your injections, and even if you’re sick with a virus you should continue doing your T shots unless your doctors tell you otherwise! 

The only T-related thing I can think of that might be worth doing is seeing if you can get an extra month’s worth of T and needles, so you don’t have to go out to the pharmacy while you’re sick and you don’t have to risk infecting the folks there, and you can avoid going out and about if you aren’t sick.

I just got a bigger vial of T this time so I don’t have to refill twice a month, so if your insurance will cover a 10 mL vial of cypionate, or a 5 mL vial of enanthate, that might be worth doing instead of a 1 mL vial of cypionate. If you can only get the 1 mL vial of cypionate, see if you can get two or three of them at once! Changing the vial size or amount of em will require talking to your doc on the phone, or sending a message through the patient portal. 

And, as always, talk to your doctor if you have a medical question! That’s their job, so don’t be afraid to call them, email, send a message through the patient portal, etc, to get in touch.
