You forgot that Zydus is 6 tablets vs. 10 Rapacan.

Western Union is set up for person to person transfers. Did Apple give you a personal account to send money to?
I tried sending money to Kachhela via Moneygram and Remitly. Rejected by both. And Remitly charged my debit card in the bargain, but says will refund within ten days. Terrific.
Tried putting the company name in the first and last name fields, and and then answering reason for sending question as ā top up savingsā or something like that.
So youāll need a personal account to send to if you try either of those.
And this is a recent addition: Manual review. Not going to test this out.

Thanks for suggesting Apple Pharma.
I had previously bought from Jagdish with no problems but it seems that their situation has changed.
I just sent a price inquiry to Apple so Iāll see what they say. Iām after the Biocon Rapacan 1mg.

Maybe? I donāt know whatās an Indian personal account versus a business account. I know it worked.

Iām happy for you that it worked.
Iām trying understand how you got it to work, so that the rest of us might have the same success. It doesnāt seem like it should work, so if youāll bear with me, maybe I can figure out where Iām wrong.
Did you put āAppleā in the first name field and āPharmaceuticalsā in the last name field?
Also, for āpurpose of transactionā, did you specify āfamily maintenance/savingsā? There are only two choices here, and the other one is ācredit to NRE accountā, and I donāt know what that is.

I appreciate your desire to understand, however, I did not get it to workāthe Apple rep did. I made no decisions; I just followed their instructions. Iāll ask them anew the next time, in case things have changed.
The Apple rep told me what would work best for them, with Western Union, at that time, for my location, etc. I have no idea if thatās the same for you, or if it will (like many of these payment systems) change over time.
I suggest you just reach out to the Apple rep, tell them your situation, and see what they say for you. All Iām doing here is telling you that the information they gave me worked. My package has cleared customs and is in transit to me now.

I bought 15 strips of ten tablets each for a total of $100, shipping included. Without shipping, it cost $5.00 per strip, or fifty cents per tablet. The brand is Rapacan, made by Biocon. Of course, as more and more Americans get caught up in the craze, prices will rise accordingly.
P.S. I paid via bank transfer through Wise. Very smooth transaction.

Ok, so I ended up wiring the money via my Schwab brokerage account. cost $15. I entered the transaction parameters online, didnāt have to call anyone. No questions asked about purpose of transfer, but I donāt doubt it was subject to a quick manual review. Transfer effected yesterday, and woke up to a Kachhela shipment tracking number this morning.
300 Rapacan for $230 + $15 for wire.

Allnat is another vendor that has delivered the goods. I actually paid for this with Wise.
(If got it correctly this is what len5742 suggested but didnāt actually try)
I got Wise to transfer the money by transferring it directly to the bank account number without ever mentioning Allnat Pharmacy. This is the same bank that Jagdish Nicose uses. After all, it is just a bank account. No need to tell Wise who it is for. That is the way most ACH transfers take place, just bank account to bank account.
Just inform āGuneetā that is what you are doing.
I was dealing with āGuneetā He was a little slow to post to EMS but once posted I received the Rapacan rapamycin within 12 days. My next order will be to still another supplier. Most suppliers that I have looked at are selling at $8 for 10 ten, 1mg tablets.
I am going to be stocking up a little at these prices. I donāt know if the prices are going up but Apple Pharma. is charging about $14 for 10 tablets. With increasing popularity, I donāt expect prices to be going down. My survey of some suppliers and the MSDS data sheets tell me I can freeze it for at least 2 years.

For anyone in the EU, I got my rapamycin through the EUdoctor app. Worked well. The pharmacy here in Sweden did everything they could to refuse me but eventually they had to give in. The prescription is legit, the laws are clear. It feels good to know my rapa is the real thing.

Update on my Apple Pharmeceuticals shipment:
Recieved package of 100 count of Biocon Rapacan 1mg today. Package is quite well-wrapped. 
Order was perfect. Transit time 13 days total to west coast USA.
Very happy with the experience, and I will do business with Apple again.

Hi Victoria,
Thanks for sharing. Is your Rapamune covered by the Swedish health care system or did you have to pay out of pocket? If you had to pay, how much does it cost in Sweden?
Thanks!

you say for WUās convenience. How do u say that when nothing could be more convenient than debit/credit card espcially when u can do some charge back on credit card upon complaint to your bank as i have done several times from other vendors on other purchases and services if have valid excuse.
Just an update on two suppliers that I use. I used Allnat Pharma because I was having trouble paying with Wise. Wise is very convenient when it works.
Now, suddenly I am able to pay Jagdish Nikose of R L Pharma. He is my preferred supplier and I have used him for the better part of two years.
Using Wise to pay him, I used R L Pharma as the supplier. Wise then asked me the name of the person the account belonged to and I replied; Jagdish Nikose. Wise then immediately transferred the funds. It was the quickest transfer they have ever made. I like to use Jadish because he is quick to send and the product is as cheap or cheaper for the Biocon/Rapacan than other suppliers. Currently, he is charging $6.50 for 10 1mg tablets.

Because it wasnāt a Swedish prescription it was not covered so I had to pay almost 4000 SEK (Approx. $370 US) for 100x1mg pills
but I still prefer it as I know it is the real thing and not running the risk of something ordered online.

Why do you say that? "Biocon Ranked Among Top 5 Biotech Employers Globally
Rapacan and Zydus certainly are probably better than anything but Pfizer. Certainly, better than the products of compounding pharmacies, as some forum members can attest to.
Many of us have been buying Biocon/Rapacan for over a year. Many have had their blood tested. Those of us who take it know itās the real thing. Zydus is another trusted brand from India. Both Zydus and Rapacan have been tested by third parties.
Biocon and Pfizer work together on biosimilar drugs. Biocon has a presence in the U.S.
I could afford Pfizer if it was easy to get a prescription for more than a few weeks.
But, I still wouldnāt do it because I consider Pfizer to be one of the most corrupt companies on the planet. If you want to spend $370 for something that is not Pfizer and is probably not as good as the $65 for 100 1mg tablets plus shipping, that you get from India that is your business of course, but I just donāt understand your thinking.
