Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m a female in my thirties and live in New Zealand. I’m here because somebody on a perfume forum that I go to mentioned a [pheromone scent](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/) that she loves, and the details for that pheromone scent said that it was made with products from Androtics, and the Androtics site pointed me here. I’m just going to go and do some reading now to see what these are all about. I’m happily married and do not want help meeting men (or women!) for anything sexual, but I’m interested in anything that might help me overcome my natural reticence in social situations. However, I almost certainly won’t be buying anything from the Smartmones store until they offer a realistic shipping option to international destinations. US$60 for shipping one To-Go spray bottle? I think not! So right now I am in research-only mode. Off to read the rest of this forum now! ---

Hello Imogen, Welcome to the forums. Glad you found it, as I am sure after you start to chat with the community here, you’ll find you will fit in nice. Social situations call for [social pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/), which some of the best are Instant Shine, Instant Honesty, and Instant Openness. They will help with the confidence and help get everyone chatty. I am not sure about your shipping question, but I am sure if you bring your concern up to steve-o he will figure out a way to make it work for you. This company really has its priorities set right, and they will do anything to help you. I would not be up at 3:06am to say that if I didnt mean it!!! Hope to hear from you soon! ---

It would certainly be good to see a shipping option other than an expensive courier service, even standard surface mail. I’m not sure what the thinking is behind that. But thank you for your advice and suggestions. You obviously have a lot of faith in the company anyway, Mike 🙂 ---

Hi there, Welcome to ther forum. You can earn yourself a $25 gift vertificate to cover for your shipping cost. To earn that, you need to tell us what kind of result youa re looking at from using [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/). Is it for sexual, relationship, work or other reasons? Tell us about your target too. Have fun Cheers ---

Well Hello There, Welcome to Pherotalk 🙂 Yep shipping is high for international customers. Cant say that you will see more options soon but there is always a possibility since DHL is closing soon. They do have there reasons. They have used the other delivery methods with disasterous results. Ask Dolly she was here for that disaster. People didnt get there packages sometimes for weeks and that is not good for business. While LP, _(Yes I know what forum you speak of)_, has better results with shipping out of their area with USPS they ship from a different hub. All postal hubs are not created equal. I should know I work for them. 😉 Your of course welcome to look around and get a feel for the products and whats offered here. Join in you dont have to purchase to be a member and we would love to chat with you. I suggest you take a look at [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) its a great product. If you find you want your GC to hang onto or decide to buy now then just pop on back to this thread and read this… [https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-do-i-qualify-for-a-25-gift-certificate/19934](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-do-i-qualify-for-a-25-gift-certificate/19934) tell us more about your personality and I will be happy to send your GC right out. By the way, I use some LP products and I love their scents. They are to die for. Look forward to your reply Tisha
