Are Internet Pharmacy Sites Legitimate?


This question and answer copyed from DEA Web Site

Many Internet pharmacy sites are legitimate. These Internet pharmacy sites may vary in the services they provide, but they may fill a prescription for a controlled substance which was issued to you by an authorized practitioner for a legitimate medical purpose. They should confirm the legitimacy of the prescription for a Schedule III-V controlled substance before filling it by contacting the prescriber. They are not authorized to fill a prescription for a Schedule II controlled substance unless they have first received the original signed prescription.

Some Internet sites for pharmacies advertise local pharmacies and usually list the name, address, and telephone number of the local pharmacy closest to you. Many of these sites provide a great deal of information concerning specific diseases or medical conditions, and drug information. Many Internet sites operated by local pharmacies or mail order pharmacies serve as a communication link so that you can request refills of prescriptions, check the status of your prescription, or ask the pharmacist a question. These are appropriate uses of the Internet by pharmacies.

Some sites simply provide information about specific drugs and medical conditions. After obtaining some general information from you, this type of "Internet Pharmacy" will refer you to a specific local pharmacy or a mail order pharmacy to have the prescription that you obtained from your physician filled. These are appropriate uses of the Internet by pharmacies.

The DEA Q&A on dispensing/purchasing controlled substances via the internet.

To all (and anyone burnt or still waiting months on end for indianmeds4u.com to make you whole -- get you something you PAID for -- let's get together -- we need to stick together against the NONLEGITs that reel you in, so they can burn you later)

Initially I bragged about indianmeds4u.com, Rajeev contact person. I started using them 2 years ago and initially, even though I don't like when they only take WU payments, which worries me, I tried them. I got all orders even if they didn't arrive first shipment, they'd reship -- thing was, why they didn't show first time around never really entered my mind. If ceased by customs, you know it/ we get a letter. So this never was the case. This was once in a while - normal circumstances, I'd receive order within 15 days. Well, the last 4 orders, so 4 of 4, I've had to wait months to get. The first shipment, NEVER shows. The second re-ship, NEVER SHOWS. Finally, the third shipment, like clock work, would show. How is that? Sounds like they ship when they get around to it, making their customers wait an entire 30-days before they will consider reshipping period. Well, the final straw was the 4th order. I gave Rajeev heads up telling him/her that the last 3 of 3 orders were problematic. I waited 3 months for all three orders, taking a total of 9 months to get 3 orders. This I'm sure is not acceptable to anyone. So legit, how can I answer. If I get the order I paid for eventually, is that legit? Well, you decide how long you feel you want to wait and what is legit about the orders taking sooo long to come and them reshipping without asking questions; which makes me think they never ship to begin with. THEY almost know that I'm going to be contacting them, and eventually, they do finally ship. THEN this time, she/he tried to blame MY ADDRESS, the same address I've used for 2 years with them; stating that it must be my address, not them. Well, that's funny - I say, if it's my address, why do I always eventually get your orders? Who is overseeing your shipping? And by the way, anything that is actually mailed to me, I DO GET - always. NEVER having problems anywhere else. So here's my forth order, ordered 11/24. She/he made me wait even after I said again, like the 12th time after so many times this is happening, if it doesn't reach me after shipped in 15-18 days, it is not reaching me. NO order takes more than 18 days. NOT IF REALLY SHIPPED. Anyone that says there order mysteriously showed up 30 days later, I bet you was mailed 15 days prior to that. NOT took 30 days in fact. So, I wait again, 4 of 4 times 30days, and finally write -- this time I get sarcasm in response. I get where can I remail this? I say again, to the same address you always mail it - if you mail it, I'll get it. She writes, "IF YOU SAY SO" But here we are 1/4 and instead of her reshipping, I've been going back and forth via emails asking what is she doing, to get remarks like that, vs. it's now on its way. I then asked if she'll send certified, so we can track, and I will forfeit the few xtra pills she puts in for the WU fees. Put that toward certified mail. She says I don't do that - Really? She did do it for me twice - now she doesn't do it? So now we're lying. Then she states after I get upset, that I'll take a refund. AS easily as I sent her money for my order via WU, she can refund my money for the order I NEVER got WU -- She says, I don't do refunds. And these are my responses. Nothing more. Not I don't do refunds, but your order reshipped today. It's back and forth Non-business like non-legit bull. Why pharms which I've seen do this before go from being legit to playing around, I can't explain - but I am here to ask anyone reading TO PLEASE stay away from indianmeds4u.com - while I bragged about them and wanted to help them and you here, I will not put you through all that they've put me through this entire year - after the first year going so well. Sorry I didnt update sooner but I hoped the incidents were isolated ones. Now that it's been 4 consec orders problematic (meaning, not getting to me), I see this just being how they're working running things from now on out - and finally, I'm getting no responses amazingly enough - to my WHEN are you reshipping - if you do not refund - and can't tell you how frustrating this is paying via WU, proving that I did, and having any recourse when we're dealing with overseas. Which is why legit starts with them taking credit cards. Second, always make sure they send in original packaging. I've had places send me total fake product, pills unmarked, not what they were to be, who knows what they were- that I would not take - nobody should take anything they can't prove to be an actual product ordered. I've learned the long and hard way hoping to have finally found a good place, here, and now they're jerking me around; and most likely not just me, just now me -- so anyone else that has had this ungodly issue with them, please speak up -- Rajeev seems to think she has enough business coming in that not worrying about me or others is not a problem for her; she'll make out fine - but me and anyone else that has paid for an order, hasn't received it must come together and get to her with our complaints. The more to complain, the more she realizes how the internet works, and how easy it is to spread word on NON-legit or scammers -- maybe the more likely she'll be to get our paid orders to us -- finally -- In meantime, my 4th order remains unseen - she is playing around and whether she'll send it I don't know - I only know she refuses to refund my money, send certified so it can be tracked and I KNOW for sure it was mailed vs. her just saying so -- BUT never do I get -- I'm at her mercy - their mercy and not feeling good about it.
Indianmeds4u is not one I'd say is LEGIT -- If I find one that is I will share - this time if anything goes wrong, I'll immediately inform everyone vs. thinking its isolated. I have a feeling they get people to trust them so they can eventually rip them off - once they spend more money or whatever -- they got the money - what the heck? She/he went from being very friendly to unsympathetic and cocky and now, not responding and Ive been patient, kind, loyal, returning after 3 of 3 orders took months - so shame on me. I am simply warning all -- pass this word around and if anyone wants to petition this person Rajeev with problems, or orders they're still waiting on or past orders that took months, we can prove to her that it's not OUR ADDRESSES, but them, they are the ones messing around and shipping whenever, if ever --
Thank you for your help and please be warned bout indianmeds4u.com. Kim Reed PS contact me with anything you want to write about past orders with them, and I will make sure Rajeev, indianmeds4u gets all our complaints - all at once too. Your help's appreciated and by us doing this, should help us all - agreed? In meantime, until everyone's been made whole, STAY AWAY From further orders with them. Rajeev is great before you order, it's afterward you are lucky she says two words to you -- now I think this order, I'll never see unless I get help from others who are being burnt right now and she sees how quickly we'll pass the word around about them!

germanybaby66@hotmail.com -- re: indianmeds4u.com

Any words you want me to send to Rajeev regarding past orders gone wrong, or orders you are waiting on and paid for, or whatever they've done you wrong - send to me and I will put in a bulleted list -- THEY NEED TO be shown how quickly I can not only spread word they are taking people's money and taking months to make them whole or NOT sending orders at all -- but that I am able to find people easily that have been going through the same as me, so they can't say it's me! It's not me -- it's them. They took my money and they are doing nothing to get my order to me after I used them for 2 years. Shame on me for letting this past years experiences, where my orders took 3 months to reach me, and now this 4th one isn't reaching me period - and they are doing nothing but being cocky in their responses - no refunds, no tracking of mail -- basically, I"m at their mercy and if they don't reship, I don't get my order - so far, they did NOT RESHIP and this is after she insisted I wait 30-days -- no order takes 30 days - if it did, they mailed 15 days prior to that SUPPOSED 30days -- we must band together to get these online pharms that think they can do whatever to whomever less customers and make them work for their money! Not take and send nothing in return or send when they get around to it - pretending it was already mailed and your address is the problem.

Thank you all!

Yea, i've only ordered from overseas once and it took a month (which they said it would)... Never got burned... But who in the hell wants to wait a month for something like medication that they need. I've since stuck with local US sources that ship overnite, and have many many satisfied customers, and a long reputation of not burning people. I would suggest anyone else do the same....

But back to the actual topic on hand.... even if you fax the company your prescription (because if they are legit they will require you to do so), it is still illegal to import anything (even things you have a prescription for) into the US at least...
