Let us all be completely honest, here.

[ScorpioTrey5801]

There are very many of you that are a member to this forum. I read along threads quite often and am receiving mixed messages here about one specific topic.

Out of you all, who wish to answer this question in detail, have actually had 100% success with ordering from any online pharmacies or vendors?
Personally, I've only dealt with one OP (medstore) and it ended up being a 5 month struggle between getting REAL medication instead of chalk or unusually indestructible pills (Yes, the medication ordered was schedule IV). I posted a thread about medstore a few days back, if you'd care to review.

So, bottom line is - Who out there have had complete success with an OP? Receiving what you've ordered, reasonable prices, able to contact customer service, ect.. and can explain how or why? Also, who out there have had outrageously terrible difficulties with any?

I don't know if I'm a lucky on here but yes, I've extented time relationsihip - meaning years -with certain OP's and e mail sources. I'd say in 15 years I got scammed 4-5 times, and on all these occasion I took the plunge and placed small test orders. Forums like this and my past good ones are key for this rate of success. Over time you'll spot a bad laid scam two miles away. For those working on sly, info exchange P2P is essential.

That's pretty remarkable. Luck must really be on your side! :P

[Jellyfish]

Yes, many of us have had relationships with many IOPs/vendors for years, with no issues at all.
This forum wouldn't be here otherwise.

But, I fear this is bordering on asking for sources..(I could be wrong)

[Comfortably Numbed]

Yes we have threads available that give reviews for OPs, both good and bad, you just have to check out which you may consider to be the best option for you is all

[sophie30]

I have had 100% success with a senior section vendor - since long before I became a member. Probably 25 orders, all delivered within a week. Others have had problems with them periodically though.

[Dark frog]

I'm new to online pharmacies and I'm still a bit skeptical about the safety/legitimacy/and whatnot but this forum looks like it has a lot of useful posts. There's so much information available, which is good since I can take my time to do my research and make a more well informed decision.

No source seeking intended Just asking about other people's experiences.

[Roswell1947]

I only order one med so it's pretty easy to find.
I don't order from places that ship from India,Thailand,
Pakistan or Philippines since they are hot spots for my area.
I was lucky to join the forum last Jun before the Oct rules
went into effect so it was easier to find certain items.
Many vendors who carry Sch IV also carry SCH II which
is not allowed in the general area. I read, read,& read before ordering
and strike fast while the fire is hot because many vendors can vanish quickly.
I also order small..never over $100 so if I get burned it won't be that bad.

[ek2012]

I also have established a relationship with a specific vendor. Had great success with this IOP: got what I wanted fast and great customer service. On top of that I managed to do this as a junior member/member.

[endo1]

Id say I have, or at least 95%. Ive never received bunk meds although some of them may have been under dosed a bit, but not nearly enough to be considered garbage. this was before getting senior access and through IOPs, not email vendors. I do a TON of research before departing with my precious money.

Id really like to establish a relationship with a highly regarded email vendor thats been discussed alot around here lately, but I have NO idea how to get in contact with her (I think its a her). I believe thats the way to go, as opposed to sticking to pharmacies alone. adds an element of personality to the transaction and lets both parties benefit.

[Revert]

I just joined this forum, but have been ordering regularly for six years. Mostly US sources, but also international sources. I have never been burned. I have found most of the resources on my own, googled a lot and used common sense. For example never order from India or Asia, and go by the dictum if it is sounds too good to be true it is.

I am very glad I have found this forum because it has exposed me to a lot of new resources and people are supportive and friendly and not bullying like many Internet forums in general.

[mani]

OK here is my score.

Never ever not received a letter from an IOP. Had one letter opened by customs, sill received as the key is IMO only order small amounts.

Had some questionable meds from one IOP, so I stopped ordering from same. On one occassion I know my CC details were stolen, so only use pre paid CC in future.

Like most I'm pretty paronoid about the whole business so my advice to anyone is research, research, research before ordering. Easier said than done that's why I joined PR.

As @sophie30 said in another thread the reason why there are some restrictions on this site is to weed out shills and the like.

We're a community with the same goal, to feel well and live life the best we can. ( well this is mine anyway!)

Take care people.

[tadpol]

I'll chime in. Oddly enough, over the years I've had good luck. Although I almost never ordered out of country and my meds were reasonably easy to come by. Nothing Sched. VI. There have even been times that OP's have sent meds they didn't bill for. Although on other occasions I was overcharged and had to dispute it. I guess it all comes out in the wash.

[cat2]

I'm thinking I must be crazy (in pain). I was reading the e-mail from the poster about always ordering small (never more than $100). I feel a bit of an idiot. My first order from IOP (which I have not yet received) but appears to be on its way because I have a tracking number, was in the $500 range. I did not order a lot, one item, 90 pills...is that a lot? No more than the MD used to prescribe every month, so I perhaps did not research well enough as that is a ton of money....also I like the idea of using a prepaid CC. I'm going to do that next time, as my CC limits are high and that could be a problem. My CC company is very careful and will flag anything questionable, but the prepaid seems the way to go. Thanks.

google is a very overlooked resource by those infatuated with the senior section. while I admit there are several advantages to accessing it, there's no reason (unless you use a strictly email vendor, and even then....) you cant use google or other IOP sites to get an idea about their reputation and products. you just gotta put the time in. I think the two biggest things the senior section offers are discussion of email vendors, a "full" list of IOPs so you dont have to wonder "whatif I missed another one out there" and it lets you stay up to date on things. okay thats 3. but seriously, I ordered Sch2 meds several times (the hard to find one) successfully before getting access just my checking on the feedback others provided on other forums as to the quality of the current product.

senior sectin is useful, but its not the holy grail some people make it sound like. that is unless someone gives me that email source Ive been after.

[mani]

I would point out that I don't order meds for the fun of it, just to keep my condition under control, and to help me funtion as a normal human being (whoever they are!)

[endo1]

same, Ive never ordered a PK in my life and I only use what I currently have (including the sch2) as needed and maybe ill use the benzos a little longer if I have to.

besides, I cant afford using that as a form of entertainment and as crazy as it sounds, benzo withdrawal just doesnt appeal to me

[cat2]

Well, what I have to say is lucky endo (with no benzo withdrawal). I can't use benzos, they make me tired and don't help my pain...plus you are in the minority, I think. The benzo withdrawal is classically worse than heroine and can be dangerous, so lucky you. For me, an appropriately used PK is worth its weight in gold (just sorry MD doesn't see it that way so wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg). Folks who have pain are mostly just trying to get relief (as are those with anxiety or whatever). Obviously, each of us has our own cross to bear (as can be seen in the individual threads on pain, anxiety, etc., etc.). Lord knows, I have no time to use the meds for fun...too old, too busy with FT career. I'm just hoping here to find a safe, reliable resource.....if it didn't break the bank that would be nice too. Am I off topic?

In the past I have had alot of success with various IOPs, one I had a good relationship with for a couple years until the countries drug laws changed. This caused them to drop most of their products, including all of the ones that I ordered. I have rarely been swindled, that only happened at the beginning. Like others have said, just use common sense and RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH. Also only spend money that you could afford to lose, and place small test orders until you are comfortable with the vendor.
