This is such a valuable information! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Good price! Did the pharmacy have it in stock, or did you need to pick it up the next day?

Inhouse price is very high for rapa

While I am very grateful for this forum, it is not the most user friendly.

Did you ever get this and try this out for skin aging?

There is a difference between being user friendly for people posting and user friendly for those reading. To have a system more like Wikipedia is a lot more effort for people posting.

@cronoslogical It does take some effort to find the information you want. The upside is the discovery of information you didn’t know existed until you stumbled upon it in search of the stuff you wanted. In my experience, the info you didn’t know existed and the disconfirming info of knowledge you thought was solid is the most important value here. Have fun!

Here is an example of one of my orders.

I send an email to Maulik.

Dear Mr. Parekh;

I hope you are doing well.

If you can supply the following:

I would like to order:

300, xxx, xxxxxx, 50 mg tablets.

300, xxx, xxxx, 10 mg tablets

Ship to:

Charles xxxxx

{address}

USA, Zip code

He replies:

Hello Sir,

Please find quote as below :

xxxxxx 50 mg - 300 tablets - 129$

xxxxxx 10 mg - 300 tablets - 30$

Shipping to USA - 25$

Visa fee - 18$

Total - 202$

Below is the link to pay Sir

https://buy.stripe.com/dR6g2o7913IR3lKaEH

I then go to the link and pay with my Visa:

After I make payment I notify Malek by email that I have done so.

The charge will appear as FD4CAST LTD on your Visa statement. In my case, I use a Visa debit card so it shows up as FD4CAST LTD charge on my bank account

He will reply that he will ship your order when the payment clears.

When he ships, he will supply a USPS tracking number.

After he ships, it will a few days to show up on the USPS tracking. It will look something like this:

This process is quite simple. Do not overthink this.

Be patient. Depending on the day of the week, India holidays, etc., it can take a few days before Malek processes and notifies you that he has sent your order. It is usually 2-3 days.

Your order may appear to be stuck in varying processing facilities for several days. Again, be patient.

My orders usually arrive in about 2-3 weeks, Sometimes it can take longer.

Not in stock, but I contacted them, and they ordered it

I ordered from Maulik too and it arrived very quickly.

Unfortunately despite asking for glucobay acrobose by Bayer I ended up receiving hibose acrobose by healing pharma. Sadly healing pharma seem to be not very well regarded so I think that portion of my order is going in the bin.

The rest of the order was as specified (rapacan and jardiance). The jardiance boxes were already opened but the blister packs were intact so I am not overly concerned there.

I had about same (with different person, not Malik) but my acarbose was from MEDEX pharma. Do you think medex has a good/ok reputation?

When you were given pricing information, did you receive it for glucobay?

Just a couple of days ago, I ordered a few meds from two different vendors. When ordering, I specified the exact brand. I got answers in the same form, using the same brand names. Here is the response from one of the vendors:

"Thank you for your words… happy to hear this.

Im having Azee 500mg (Azithromycin )same company cipla - $20

Bempedac 180mg (Bempedoic Acid) by Zydus : 100 tablets -$50 USD

Glucobay 25mg (Acarbose) by Bayer Zydus Pharma: 300 tablets -$75 USD

SHIPPING CHARGES INCLUDING WILL BE $180 USD"

Now, if I receive anything other than what I ordered and paid for, the meds go into the trash, and I will complain loudly. I accept no substitutions, unless consulted with and agreed to first. If the vendor then doesn’t send me the exact meds at no additional cost, I will not do business with him again, and spread the word.

FWIW, I usually place the same order with two or three vendors to spread the risk and establish reliability.

Right now I have several orders pending.

holly molly lol are you treating 1/2 of California with all those meds hahaa. couple weeks ago, you indicated you had 4 or 5 orders already shipped and received LOL dude, is this a case of “medication binge eating”? Just be careful bud, because my personal experience has not been stellar whenever I started a medication I did NOT need, so from now on if I start something “new” (for whatever reason) I never do more than max 1/2 the lowest recommended dose, but usually I start with 25%.

Yeah, a lot of the stuff I order is to have it just in case. If the pitavastin takes me below 70, I will never use the bempedoic acid I bought. But if it doesn’t, I have immediate access to BA. Same with acarbose - if empa does the job, I may never use acarbose, but if not, I have it on hand - no waiting. And so on. I may use only a quarter of the stuff I order :slight_smile:

I’d use the Bempedoic Acid and take yourself below 50 for ApoB and LDL. It also reduces inflammation. :slight_smile:

Anyone experience this? Wondering what my options are here. Seems like my package is lost in the void.

It’s been less than a month. Too soon to conclude it’s been lost. Sometimes packages are stuck in the system for 4-6 weeks.

Same boat as you. Package stuck since 10/01. I consider it lost, if for whatever reason shows up, then it’s a plus. My Indian supplier stated that they have a lot of their US customers being in the same situation but according to him, most of them do get their packages anyway (anywhere from 4-6 weeks.)

Well glad I’m not the only one, I assume customs inspects nearly all of the packages coming from India.

Maybe yes, may no (or maybe now, but not in the past). I only had one other package that was delayed and showed into customs and never made it out of there alive LOL (was lost). The rest (4-5) were all in and out of customs the same day.
