(1). Question: Can I get into
trouble importing medications?
(1). Answer: *To our knowledge there has
never been an instance where anyone attempting to import medicine for
personal use in a 90 day supply has ever had any legal problems. A visit to
the US Customs website under Traveler Information will confirm
this. Customs reserves the right to refuse any shipment entry, but this does
not mean that such attempted importation is a crime unless the drug in
question is illegal to possess, i.e. Marijuana, LSD, Ecstasy etc.
When medications are obtained through the mail, Customs only has two options
with regards to import of prescription meds coming from a legitimate
pharmacist or physician, to refuse them entry or to pass them through. Since
no less than 250,000 pieces of foreign mail, including flat envelopes
resembling correspondence, regular mail, documents, small packages, etc.
arrive at every USA port of entry each day for clearance, it is physically
impossible for them to reject or even scrutinize any more than 10%. So 90%
of the time meds pass un-inspected, but legally. If a package is randomly
looked at, if a customs clerk deems it inadmissible for import, the worst
scenario is that the package is 'held' or what is usually called 'seized'.
This seizure can be contested if the meds shipped are in a 90 day supply or
less for personal medical use.
There are no legal repercussions for this
type of import. It is not unlawful, and a 'seizure' is less ominous than a
parking ticket. You have to 'pay' a parking ticket. A 'seizure' simply means
'Shipment refused entry'.
(2). Question: I want to order
your Guide, but I am not convinced. What more can you tell me about all
this?
(2). Answer: The reason we have put so much
information on this Website, is to try to reassure our customers that we are
legitimate and honest and are telling you all we can tell you in a public
forum. We are available to talk to you.. Just call us at: 1-302-996 0635 Company Code # 7.
But remember, there are hundreds and hundreds of individuals like yourself
interested in this information and if each called for reassurance, we
wouldn't be able to do anything other than answer the phone all day...In
addition discussing individuals physical maladies and emotional problems due
to a lack of facility in the USA is something we are more than well aware
of, but not always eager to talk about as we also must run a business.
Similarly, talking about specific drugs (medications) with a high incidence
of abuse is certainly not what we would care to discuss with you on the
phone.. Discretion is necessary in this business!
(3). Question: I have heard
rumors that some foreign pharmacies sell counterfeit meds. How do I know
the meds I receive are real and not just fakes?
(3). Answer: Our customers have a unique
advantage in that they will never get 'cheated' in any way, shape or form by
any pharmacists we list. Reason being, we send thousands and thousands of
customers to our recommended pharmacies and the revenue they enjoy from this
commerce is tremendous. The success of their business is dependent on our
good will. If we eliminate them from our lists, their ongoing enterprise is
more or less finished. This insures our subscribers the best service, and
indeed these listed pharmacies are wary of creating any bad reputation or
misunderstandings.
Additionally, we only list pharmacies we
believe to be reputable, and monitor our lists continually. Also, the
controls and guidelines governing the manufacture of pharmaceuticals in
foreign countries are very high. Basically the same standard manufactures
meet in the USA. The rumor that counterfeits are manufactured abroad is
baseless.
(4). Question: What is the
difference between your offer and others on the Internet?
(4). Answer: We are the original pioneers in
this field. There are many who attempt and pretend they are savvy to foreign
pharmacy operations and lure customers to buy their worthless materials.
Most hire slick high priced webmasters to improve on our presentation,
attempt to duplicate our offers, and elaborately go to great lengths to
rip-off unsuspecting purchasers. They have a professional look, but no
substance. When our enterprise first began this venture, there was no one
else making such information available. Usually at pretender websites,
remarkably, the alleged offered information very closely resembles ours, but
is usually many years old, and therefore worthless.
We get no payment from the foreign pharmacies listed by us, but do insist
that they deal fairly and honestly with our clientele. We even accept
PayPal, the premier online payment system, so you can feel secure in your
transaction with us.
PLEASE beware of
frauds and cheaters who are competing for your patronage. And thank you for
visiting this Website. Rest assured we will give you more than a fair deal
for your hard earned money.
(5). Question:
How long do I have to wait before my order arrives? How long does it take to
get the books and then the meds?
(5). Answer: Once we receive payment for the
materials you request from us, we process the order and ship them
immediately. Please allow up to 24 hours from the time you submit that order
to us until merchandise gets shipped. Since all shipping is done by First
Class Mail, packages arrive in 2-3 days from the time they are sent
depending on where you live. International orders are shipped First Class
Airmail.
As far as actually receiving any medications
you order from our recommended pharmacies. There are many of our suppliers
who effectively ship meds via Express. Such turn around is relatively fast.
Under ordinary circumstances allowing three weeks for meds to arrive is
standard. Since meds may be ordered in 90 day supply, only the first order
may require patience, as subsequent orders can be made in a timely fashion,
so they arrive before your supplies are exhausted.
(6). Question: How do I know
that the drug I need is available from your Pharmacy List.
(6). Answer: Let me begin by acknowledging
that we don't know whether or not each and every drug desired by our
customers is available from the recommended pharmacies on our lists. Foreign
pharmacists usually put the most popular meds on their price list and it is
necessary to email them and inquire about price and availability with
regards other meds not listed. Availability of medicines for mail-order from
foreign pharmacies tends to be very similar to what is available in the USA.
And generally if a med is on the market it is available in foreign markets.
Of course, at the same time sometimes meds still not available in the USA
are already available abroad. As was the case with a new popular diet med
just released called Xenical. You will need to purchase our materials to
learn how to order meds from abroad without a prescription, for less.
(7). Is ordering from an
online pharmacy a good idea?
(7). Answer: We cannot encourage you to search for actual on-line
pharmacies. One of the many rules and regulations that the FDA enforces is
that foreign pharmacies may not advertise within the US. If a Foreign
Pharmacy advertises on the internet, and the Internet being a public forum,
i.e. readily available to people within the US, that makes them a high
profile pharmacy thumbing their nose at the FDA. This also makes them a high
profile target for US Customs Agents. The likelihood of a package getting
all the way through to you the consumer is practically nil. Our guide
specializes in low profile pharmacies that do not advertise in the US. You
have to contact them. That makes their operation completely legal within FDA
guidelines. They do not have a problem with seized shipments, We have been
in business for 10 years recommending many of these same pharmacies for many
years and have not heard of any problems with shipments. The pharmacies that
we 'recommend', do have email and can be reached via your computer for
prices, availability and ordering info.. Our pharmacists are very discreet.
We provide a step by step guide on the only legal means to purchase
prescription drugs from other countries, by mail. The U.S. Constitution
guarantees freedom of speech, so you can legally read and purchase anything
you want. You can legally purchase prescription medicines through the mail.
If you follow the guidelines in our publication. What we have done is put
together a guide from the many rules and regulations from the FDA. It's a
HOW TO manual telling you how and where to buy the prescription drugs you
want at prices from 40 to 80% lower than the same drug can be purchased in
the USA.
(8). Question: DIET MEDS?
Can you tell me if they are available?
(8). Answer: Every type of diet medications
is available from foreign pharmacy suppliers. Including Diet pills
restricted for sale here in the USA, i.e. Fenflouramine, Dexfenflouramine,
Phentermine, etc. Also Meridia, Xenical (Fat burning new med only recently
approved in USA) And even experimental meds not yet approved by the FDA but
legal for import in 90 day supply.
(9). Question: Do these
pharmacies and recommended techniques for ordering prescription
medicines, work just as well for Canadians?
(9). Answer: They certainly do! Canada
recently redefined its import policies which mirrors USA policy, but with
even more liberal interpretation. So.. ordering 90 days' supply of meds for
personal medical use is allowed. Utilizing techniques we prescribe for
protecting shipments always helps. And foreign pharmacies that we recommend
ship all over the world, very discreetly and effectively.
(10). Question: Will I be able
to find out where to buy my medication at the lowest price by using your
Guide?
(10). Answer: Yes! At least 40% cheaper than
what US citizens are accustomed to paying. We recommend pharmacies whose
track record, i.e.. quality, customer service, customer satisfaction, and
reputation are perfect. The prices are drastically less than here in the
USA, and no prescriptions are required.
(11). Question: Do I need
to know the foreign name of a med to order from any of your recommended
pharmacies?
(11). Answer: No. Just the US name or
generic name. You can usually get the name and strength right off your
prescription bottle. Our guide will give you links to some of the best
pharmaceutical drug sites or you can purchase a (Physicians Desk Reference)
from any bookstore for about $10. This book lists thousands of meds and
offers all kinds of info about meds, i.e. side effects, interactions,
dosages, usage, warnings, etc.
(12). Question: How do I
order from the pharmacies?
(12). Answer:
Here are Step by Step Ordering Instructions:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A:) Pick a pharmacy from our pharmacy list. We give a brief description of
what kinds of medications the pharmacies specialize in.
B:) Email them for their current price and
availability list. If you can't find what you need, email them and request
what you need. Usually they will respond quickly if they want your business.
C:) Read their ordering instructions and
print them out so when you place your order you can read it.
D:) Decide what you want, the quantity you
want and how you are going to pay for it.
E:) Place your order following their printed
instructions.
F:) Be Patient. I know some of you are in
desperate need of the medication but this is not always a quick process. Be
prepared to wait from 10 days up to possibly 3 weeks to receive your order,
depending on holidays, and other circumstances that can delay mail delivery.
Most of the pharmacies offer Express Delivery for an additional fee, if you
would like it.
G:) When you receive your order it may
arrive in different forms. Usually a plain white or brown envelope with the
contents of your order in a zip lock plastic bag. Whenever possible they try
to use the factory sealed punch through Blister Cards, It doesn't always arrive in
a cardboard box in prescription bottles like you get at your corner
drugstore.
(13). Question: Can I get
my prescription filled without ever leaving the United States from
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD?
(13). Answer: Certainly, that's the main
purpose of our Guide. It includes all the information you need to order
drugs at great savings without leaving your home. Telephone numbers, and
email take the entire hassle out of ordering for all our listed pharmacies.
Exact mailing addresses in the correct format with fax numbers and even
e-mail addresses makes everything easy.
(14). Question: Can
prescriptions be filled through a respectable pharmacy at a cheaper rate
than the USA?
(14). Answer: Yes they can and savings will
vary but at least 40%. Most antibiotics are 50% less. Many stomach medicines
cost about one third as much. It is quite common to save $1,000 for a
six-month supply of prescription medicines.
(15). Question: I can only
speak English, does that matter and how about currency?
(15). Answer: All of the pharmacies in our
guide have some English speaking employees. Most people working for a
Mexican border pharmacy speak English. American dollars are very acceptable
and there is no need to change your money to Mexican Pesos in Mexican
cities. All of our listed pharmacies have their price lists in American
dollars for your convenience.
(16). Question: Are the
drugs the same in Mexico, Europe and Canada?
(16). Answer: Yes and no, other countries do
carry the same medicines that we have available in the US, these drugs are
identical in name and dosage and are produced by the same big name
pharmaceutical manufacturers in America or other parts of the world and are
shipped worldwide. They also carry medicines made in their own country, and
other countries. The pharmacies in our guide all supply and sell FDA
approved medicines, and the ones that are not, (usually generics) are
clearly marked.
(17). Question: Is it
legal to import prescription medicines into the US?
(17). Answer: Yes it's legal and you don't
need prescriptions for almost all medicines. The most important thing to
remember is that you can only order up to a 3 month supply ( 6 month for
seniors ) in any one order, and you can only order for yourself. Please be
sure to follow the instructions and recommendations in our guide.
(18). Question: Is the
medicine itself
safe?
(18). Answer: Yes! Do you really believe
that the people in any country would tolerate unsafe or dangerous
pharmaceuticals, they have families that depend on their medication same as
you do. They may not have a FDA, but each country does have some bureaucracy
with identical duties as our FDA.
(19). Question: How about
Homeopathic medicines or even Veterinary products?
(19). Answer: Yes they have a huge variety
and assortment, much more than available in the US, at big savings.
