    Cool The so-called "top rated pharmacies" up there ^^^^

    Who made that list? I was trying to find one that didn't have more than 1 negative experience and I can't! So why are they top rated? Seems to me, either they have all scammed at least two customers, or haven't had any reviews. Can someone please explain this to me? And I also realize the glowing, all 5s across the board, are shillings, or whatever it's called lol. Am I ever going to get this site? How do you know who to trust on here?

    The truth of the matter is that in many ways they ARE the best these days. So many these days will deliver the goods one day and cut snd run the next. The answer to "How do you know who to trust"? is honestly, you don't. The only difference is the ones noted are LESS likely to give you trouble. Truthfully its only marginally better in the senior section, so you should set your expectations accordingly.

    @Peachy33

    Mr @barkingmad is correct! First, even Nordstrom probably has customers that complain about their service, and they are VERY, VERY good at what they do. My point, if you are looking for an IOP here or eventually in the Senior Section with NO negative reviews, let me save you some time: There are none.

    Second, there are many good vendors in both sections and part of the advantage of reading and posting on a site like this is learning which vendor does what well, and who does something else well. No one does it all well. And Mr Barkingmad is correct; a great vendor one week can be a disaster the next. This is a risky business, buying meds online. Participating and reading here will minimize the loss and mistakes but will not eliminate them.

    Not trying to be snarky at all, just a cold hard fact!

    It's a risky business but when one does their HOMEWORK it significantly cut's down on the risk. @Peachy33 as folks tell new members, use the search tab at the top of page and start researching old threads and vendors. That is the only way to reduce your risk in finding a reliable iop.
    Research, Research, Research...All the info you need is right here, and as a new member, one is expected to put their time in as many here have done..
    You do that, and you will find that the "risk" is not much at all..And it's not exactly rocket science, doing research and respecting senior people or folks that have been here with opinions on vendors..
    As a rule of thumb when i joined, I always looked to WHO posted in a thread about a particular vendor, and when i saw folks with much cred giving positive feedback, that was always a good sign..
    so follow those signs, ask questions and share your stuff, and you will be rewarded..

    @brienzi is correct, it takes a lot of research and time to decipher what feedback from what member to jump in and place an order. It wont take long to weed out the reliable members but all IOPs can go sour overnight.

    I also think that the top-rated pharmacies above is a little outdated due to the fact that they were good when then were listed and some still are and some arent. The mods would have to update it so often that I dont think they'd have the time for that.

    And lastly it all depends on what you are looking for, if its pain meds, read a little in the chronic pain section or anxiety/depression etc. There are members there who are so knowledgeable, then once you get to the sr section (its not exactly the IOP nirvana) the members you found trustworthy are always very helpful as long as you dont start a thread like "Where can I find Oxy". Most of us tend to frown on threads like that. Share your issues and you will find people will common ailments faster than you think.

    Good luck and welcome. This is a great forum and has the greatest community of members Ive ever belonged to.
