Domain Name Information
Checking the domain name records for this pharmacy’s address shows us that they have been online for a long time.
The domain name was registered in 2004 and pharmacies which have been online for longer should have a more successful history behind them. This makes them more likely to be legit, so this is something good to find.
On the site, they claim to have been in business since 2002, so perhaps they were using a different domain name at the beginning.
We can also see some more registration details in the record. This shows us that they are using a domain privacy service to hide who really registered the domain. This isn’t an ideal thing to find and is common with unreliable drugstore sites.
Business Contact Details
This store has a mailing address in the footer section of the site. This is a good thing to find and suggests that this is a safe pharmacy business.
Further investigation of this address, however, finds that it isn’t their operating location. There are a few clues on the site, like suite number in the address and no returns to this location. It is actually the address of a UPS store which provides mailboxes.
This does mean that we can’t be completely certain that this is a real Canadian business operating this pharmacy.
Regulatory Approvals
The store uses a seal from CIPA on their homepage. CIPA or the Canadian International Pharmacy Association is an organization which provides some regulation to pharmacy stores. They make sure that licensed pharmacies are used to dispense and that your data is safe when using the site among other things.
When we check that they are members of CIPA we can see that this is genuine.
Despite this valid accreditation, a check with LegitScript shows us that they are only classified as an unapproved pharmacy. This means that the store doesn’t meet the requirements for approval but isn’t the worst rating they could be given.
Products Sold
The store sells medication covering many different treatment categories. They sell brand name pill and offer cheaper generic varieties as well.
Prices aren’t the cheapest we’ve seen online, far from it, but they are more competitive than normal US prices. The drugs are sourced from a few different countries around the world. They do tell you before you order where the pills are dispensed from and their country of manufacture.
They do correctly require a prescription and this shows that you should be safe when ordering pills from this pharmacy.
Payment and Shipping
The site uses a valid SSL certificate to make sure your personal and financial information isn’t compromised when you use the store. They accept payment using:
■ E-checks
■ Bank transfer
■ Checks
■ International money orders
■ International postal money orders
For deliveries in North America, they charge $9.99 for orders under $49. Above that order value deliveries are free. Outside of North America, they charge $19.95 for delivery. Shipping times are expected to be around 2 or 3 weeks.
Reviews and Testimonials
As this drugstore has been in business for a long time we would expect to find many customer testimonials. Our search does find some PharmacyRxWorld.com reviews but not that many and the comments from customers give a fairly average impression of the business.
We find a couple of testimonials on the Better Business Bureau page for the pharmacy. One customer reports receiving pills which didn’t work for him and the other, despite being previously very happy with the business, now is having trouble with them.
Testimonials found on another site reveal more positive details but even then, orders don’t always seem to run as smoothly as customers expect. These reviews are from 2012 and so may not present an accurate picture of their performance today.
Conclusion
This Canadian pharmacy has been online for a very long time and this shows that they are a legit place to purchase your meds. They have accreditation from CIPA and check prescriptions, but despite this everything isn’t perfect with the pharmacy.
They really should be more transparent about their location and business which operates it, we cannot be certain that they are really in Canada. The pharmacy deserves 70% of trust.
