I think a lot of us were upset when Nootropics Depot suddenly shut down last year. Matt and everyone at the Parmatrix team provided great products and services, and were a huge asset to the community. They were the first Nootropics company to have their own in-house testing lab, and helped me out with all manner of things. I also became very good friends with Matt and the whole crew over there. So when the executive decision was made to shut the site down, it came as a surprise to me as well. When they came back a couple months later with a drastically reduced product list, it was never really the same. Nobody was more heartbroken and frustrated than Matt. The company he worked hard to build was shut off, and he had to step back from the community that he loved to be a part of.
Since the executive decision was made to steer the larger company away from Nootropics, and Matt's hands were tied with what he could do. It was only a matter of time before the site shut down completely. Seeing the inevitable ahead, a couple months ago Matt approached me about a possible solution to the problem. He could not resurrect the company that he built from scratch, but I could. His hands were tie…

I think a lot of people would be interested in and curious if it would be possible in the future to combine a ceretropic/nd order together to save on shipping costs and hassle. I'm not sure how the new warehousing and distribution system is in play so any info would be nice.

They are still separate companies, just both owned by me and run by teams under my supervision. So combining of orders is probably not going to happen at the moment. Plus our packaging and fulfillment processes differ between the two. However, Nootropics Depot is offering free shipping on domestic orders over $50, and free international shipping on orders over $200. So if you stock up on a few things, the ND shipping is free anyway. Plus, some of the things Ceretropic sells are riskier for customs, or are more fragile. It's better to keep them separate from the large heavy jars that ND will be selling a lot of.
