A314.com order review

I know the forum just came back up. I just wanted to leave a current review of A314.

I had an order from 2017 from the old Androtics store. A314 gave me a credit for an old order, so I used that and also purchased some additional stuff.

I ordered 30ML spray A314 social, 30ML spray A314 black tie, 30ML Ammo in stealth, and the FX scent mix pack V2.

I received as freebies IG 10ML, TUTH 10ML, Truth Serum 18ML, and an extra 5ML spray Ammo.

Now we have all seen prices increase and honestly thought they were to high, BUT after receiving my package and the amount of freebies, everything was well worth it!

The bottles are all very thick and highest quality I have seen from any pheromone vender. The labels and spray heads are also the best quality I have ever seen.

Anytime I order cologne or pheromones I always expect leakage, well this order did not leak 1 drop! I had 16 bottles shipped and not 1 drop lost, I am really impressed!

Packaging was good also. Each bottle was wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in set in ziplock like bags. Everything was placed in a box with packing peanuts.

I am really impressed to say the least!

I started testing Ammo first since I am single now. I have high hopes for everything. Honestly I am writing this more because the prices I thought were high, but seeing what they included and if everything works as it should, it was well worth it.

The shipping was really fast to, it was the free shipping, 6 days total.

Glad to hear everything arrived well :slight_smile:

Yes as soon as I heard about your order from 2017 that never shipped, I wanted to make it right immediately. And if I’d heard about it sooner, it would have been done years ago. But this is actually the best time since if we had done it several years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to get the wider variety of things you got now. So I guess it all worked out in the end.

As for prices, yes I know they’re higher than what they used to be. I used to be a customer of Androtics and I remember. But the world has changed a lot, especially after 2020 where the prices on everything has gone up dramatically. A lot of the raw materials we use have increased in price so much they’re nothing like what they used to be back in the 20-teens, and if you’re wanting to compare versus the 2010 to 2012 era, well there is no comparison there. Everything has gone up, and some of our raw materials are literally 10-50x more than what they used to be in the earlier days.

So whenever I took over in late 2022, there were a lot of decisions to make. We re-priced things several times as we figured out the reality of the situation. It took awhile but eventually we settled on some standard pricing tiers across all of the different formulas. So the ones that are expensive (like Truth Serum) are expensive for a reason, because there are a lot of ingredients in that one and all of them are pricey for us to get. Other formulas like Ammo are less because they cost us less to make.

This is one of the reasons why we introduced a larger variety of bottle sizes, because not everyone wants (or can afford) the largest sizes. So now there’s 5mL, 10mL, and 18mL to get the prices down for people who just want to try something or get a smaller bottle because its convenient.

We’re going to try to keep the current prices stable going forward, and a couple times in the past few years we’ve actually lowered prices on a few formulas (like IFM, Charisma, and Instant Honesty).

So short of a world war or some kind of major event like that disrupting the global supply chain, I think we should be able to keep things pretty stable.

I appreciate your comments on the bottle, sprayer, and label quality, by the way. That means a lot. I’ve put a lot of time into making sure we present quality. And in 2022 we actually did send out a few bottles that were leaky or had some kind of issue, but since then I’ve gotten those incidents down to near zero. It’s incredibly rare for something like that to happen now. :slight_smile:

I totally understand the pricing and hope it was not taken offensively. I have been a part of other companies and pheromone boards, and that is one thing everyone talks about.

The reality is we get what we pay for. I just started testing A314 products, but if they perform as they should, honestly it will be well worth it.

The value I see is the extra molecules and not just the standard pheromones like androsterone or Androstenone. Those extra molecules make a world of difference between a generic product and A314 products

I totally understand the pricing and just wanted to encourage others to try A314 products.

I hope you guys put together a sample pack like years ago in the 5ML bottles for people to try, I think it would help newer members to try your products and see what they they like and works for them.

Maybe a new sample pack with Ammo, TUTH, IG, and some of the basics ones. I would also like to see a A314 pack to with 5ML spray versions like the social A314, Black tie, and the other versions of A314. Just a few ideas.

Thank you guys for everything and look forward to posting and being part of the community again.

No offense taken :slight_smile: and yes that’s a great idea about the 5mL sample packs. We’ll put together something like that to help newcomers get started. Sometimes we’re kinda slow at getting things fully implemented but when we do, it’s done right.
