Review

About the Domain

The domain was registered on Aug 2016 by a Chinese registrar. It is not clear where the site is operating from, but searches suggest China. There are no details about the domain owner. This raises suspicion about the genuineness of the operator. The domain is also affiliated to other Rogue sites and has over 100 mirror sites.

 

 

However, the site’s design and platform is very unique. It is very well designed to be responsive and appealing.

 

Business/Company running the pharmacy

Of all the stores operating online, none compares to medications-online-store.com when it comes to keeping the anonymity of the owner. There is no single detail, not even a Fake business name of the company behind this site. It is almost as though it does not exist. The contact details provided are strictly for following up on orders and in no way related to the business running the site.

 

Approval by regulatory bodies

The site has not been issued any licenses or certificates by drug regulatory authorities to run a pharmacy. The site displays a seal of quality guarantee, but this is not of any regulatory agency, and the guarantee is a self-guarantee from the retailers themselves. (self-guarantees are completely unreliable.)

Our searches on several agencies’ databases revealed that the site is not registered by any of them.

 

Quality of drugs

The quality of the site’s products cannot be assured, and there’s a risk of poisoning. To start with, it is not known where the company sources its drugs. India and Pakistan have been the suggested locations, but it is not definite. Whatever the source is, it is most likely not clean and is dealing in counterfeits. The pharmacy is also known to receive drugs that have been smuggled across borders.

All these coupled with the fact that the site is operating in violation of drug regulatory authorities give the impression that the site’s drugs are counterfeit, or at least substandard.

 

Customer feedback and reviews

There is no way customers can publicly post their opinion about the products and services of the pharmacy. The site does not have a comments section; neither does it display any testimonials of customers. Therefore, there is no way to ascertain whether they deliver their products. It could be a total scam.

 

Products sold/Prescription requirement/Pricing

This is a section the store excels. It has a wide range of medications. From flu syrups and painkillers to strong antidepressants and HIV drugs, it covers all categories. It also deals in lifestyle products such as weight loss pills, sleeping aids, and hair loss products.

 

Despite all the fanciness and formalities on the site, no prescription is required to purchase drugs, even the prescription-only types. This is a common feature of illegally operated pharmacies.

 

Pricing . This is an aspect of the site that does not make sense. Its prices are up to three times the average market price for each drug. For example 30 pills of Prozac generic, an anti-depressant, retails at an average of $33 internationally. On this pharmacy, the same goes for $68. This is the case for all their drugs.
Considering their drugs are substandard or even counterfeits, it is expected that the prices would be low. This is an anomaly.

 

Medications-online-store.com coupons

There are no coupons available for this online store. Also, the store does not offer any discounts, gifts or any other incentives. It is very consistent in maintaining its expensiveness.

 

Payment and Delivery

Targeting mainly the US and some European countries, the site accepts payment in USD and EUR only. The credit cards that can be used include Mastercard, Visa, and E-check. The payment is secured with modern transfer protocol.  Delivery is another mysterious part of the transaction. The location of the warehouse is not known. Despite this, they ship products to several countries worldwide. It is done strictly using Airmail and no other service provider. The charges are quite steep. Standard airmail costs $24 and the trackable service $30. There are no discounts with regards to shipping.

 

Conclusion

Medications-online-store.com comes off as a legitimate retailer. The fancy web platform and high prices could easily fool you that it offers the best drugs too. However, their products don’t match the price. You might end up spending twice as much on a drug only to end up being poisoned by it.

Recommendation: It does not make sense to purchase substandard or counterfeit drugs at twice the market price. Instead, use one of the recommended sites on our approved list to get drugs of assured quality, and at a fair price too.
