Ordered tylenol 1 from eplanet on the 21st. Said it would be to me by May 5th. I think I just got taken. I go to the site and 'Live Life Happy' is now not an active store from what I can tell. I wish I knew where I could order T1 and not get taken.

LiveLife is closed for good. There's some new law in B.C. or countrywide that has shut down the last 2 honest mail-order providers . You may be one of the last people to receive an order from them if you get it. Wait a few more days then let eplanet know you never got anything. Their cs is all email and it can take days to get a reply but stay on their behinds and you should be successful. This sucks.

I have had luck ordering T-1's from this place:

http://www.canada-private-discounters.com/

I have ordered from them many times and it always arrived very quickly.

I have ordered from ePlanetShopping.com 3 times and out of those 3 times I received 2 LL's.
He declares what the package contains and customs from Argentina and such places down there to the US are rough.
Good meds when I did finally get one, but not worth the risk.

Atrayus,

Argentina! You sure you got the right site?

Not an hour ago, I finally used this site since virtually every other IOP site has stopped stocking 3.3mg codeine cough syrup.

---

My 50 year old wife suffers from bouts of bronchitis and the OTC cough medicines in the US are useless. So I've tradionally gotten her a bottle of the more effective anti-tussive codeine cough medicines when they were widely available.

Now like so many other medications that help people who truly need them, it's virtually unavailable in the USA because of some foolish fad that has made this the "drink of choice" in popular culture. Consumed by the most reckless of abusers at a rate that often causes cardiac arrest.

Folks, don't even think of "experimenting" with it. Have a beer instead!

---

In fact, the last time she was suffering, her PCP wrote her a 'prescription'. When we brought it to the pharmacy, the clerk says to go to aisle 17 and bring one of the cards to the counter, where she was then required to fill out a form and show her driver's license.

Problem: My wife is unable to drive. So even this ersatz 'prescription' from the Doctor couldn't get her a bottle of OTC Robitussin.

Since it's my wife we're talking about, I made sure my driver's licensed sufficed as proper ID for this middle age couple. She can hardly stomach a tablespoon, but it does relieve the symptoms.

----

While I'm aware some alleged Canadian sites are "hiding behind the Maple Leaf", I'm good at checking these things out and from every indication the site is in New Brunswick, Canada and the product is sold there and in other more civilised countries with socialized health care.

Is there really reason to believe it's being shipped from Argentina? Admittedly, I'm going by a blow-up of the image on the product listing. So I'm taking a chance it's indeed coming from Canada. I'm only risking $18.00.

-----

Ironically, after a huge amount of seizures earlier this year from products ordered throughout the world, research suggests the DEA and FDA were interested in exactly what medications were being ordered across borders.

From some indications I received, there was less concern about long out-of-patent medications like valium from far away countries and more interest in the still under patent medications folks are ordering from Canada at cheaper prices than the USA charges.

The USA is possibly the only country in the world that has no price controls on prescription drugs unlike more civilised countries with socialized health care.

I won't argue the merits of either system now though.

--------

Bottom line, the goal of protecing Big Pharma profits in the USA are of more concern than the legitimacy of the most common IOP meds. At least the lower Scheduled medications anyway.

Don't take this yet as gospel. There is still a bit of hypothesis in the anecdotal reports I've received.

---

And remember, it is illegal to order medication from outside the USA. Using IOPs are illegal, but to spare my beloved wife from suffering, I'd become a "Drugstore Cowboy" if need be. Well, perhaps not really ;\)

------

I can just hope now that her yearly bottle of cough medicine makes it here intact.

Got two out of three packages from eplanet. Took forever but finally got here. The third should have been here. My freemantle order isn't here yet and I'm a bit concerned. I am trying to stock up since this seems to be getting harder and harder to get these things.

I swear that my eplanet T1 is not T1 at all. The bottle says it. It had a sealed top. But either I'm just really building up a tolerance or this is not T1 at all.

I hadn't taken anything for a week. Seems like I would have noticed that it was T1. When I quit taking them for a bit, then they seem stronger. I don't even notice the caffeine in them. I'm usually a bit shaky because I never do caffeine.

So this is weird. Any ideas out there?

Yea, I don't know where it really came from. It seemed like it came from the south but could have been canada. The LL's came from San Diego Cali I think. It was so long ago I barely remember. The quality was good, but I have never received an LL except from this site.

Personally, I must say I'm quite impressed with these folks.

6 days the bottle of 3.3mg codeine cough medicine was at our door. Should do my wife for a year. As I noted, she gets infrequent bouts of severe bronchitis. Her PCP writes her an Rx for OTC cough meds (which are now kept behind the counter!).

When we went to the ER once after 5 hours, the Doctor there kindly wrote her an Rx for hydro cough medicine. Of course, this was before this stupid "fad" of late.

Her last bout, she was taking cough medicine from Spain that had expired by a few months. I read that was okay, but wasn't comfortable with the idea.

-------

These folks sent us 5 progress emails and it arrived quite discreetly. Small bottle, but that's fine, only $24 dollars total. I'll gladly pay that for her to sleep well when the weather changes rapidly and my wife is more prone to a bout.

I was impressed. I feared jerks had ruined cough medicine for the older folks who need it since I couldn't find it elsewhere and it tends to be conspicuous during travel across borders... As I recall, it was declared.

I misplaced my magnifying glass, but it appears to be made in Canada. I'll have to find that magnifying glass tonight!

My impression is that eplanetshopping means well and if things go wrong, blame it on Customs.

Glad your bottle arrived. This is the only company I have received an LL from (knock on wood) because they declare exactly what the contents of the package is... like, "Pain medication for personal use" Ummm... Suspicious anyone???

Glad u received patient2all, but no wonder LL's arrived after labeling contents. Note to Custom's "Here's Your Sign!"

I ordered 4 products recently, including the 3.3mg codeine cough syrup. My wife gets bouts of bronchitis each winter and with that stupid "Drank" fad, Doctors will no longer prescribe codeine or hydro cough syrup.

Each was a low dose codeine product, shipped seperately and arrived fine with a customs declaration.

This was to the NYC Metro Area.

I don't believe this place rips anyone off as some have suggested. The products are so relatively low priced that it's in their best interest to be honest businesspeople.

Those who don't receive probably were grabbed by US Customs and as I've noted and many have told me, "love letters" often don't arrive until months after the seizure as of 2008.

The customs declarations on the packages were quite a bit more discreet than Atrayus' unfortunate experience.

Just scanned this thread.

Boy, do I repeat myself a lot!

------

In any case, the products received were clearly the classic Canadian OTC products that used to be so freely available.

Next time I'm in Canada, I'll make sure to bring back all that I can, Customs be darned!

Wish I could take codeine myself when the pain isn't so bad, but I just can't tolerate it...
