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.
