Review

Domain Information

The domain records pertaining to the site show that they haven’t been registered for too long. The domain doesn’t expire until 2023, however, which would indicate that they are more likely to be reliable. Scam drugstores don’t tend to register their domain for more than a single year at a time.

in business since 2018

The owner of the store doesn’t want to reveal their information in the records. They are using a privacy service to hide this information and this is something more often linked to Rogue pharmacies. It is sometimes used by reputable businesses as well so this is far from conclusive.

Turks and Caicos Islands

Web Platform

The website of this store looks very professional, one element of concern is the statement about changing domain names, however. This isn’t normally something a legit pharmacy would choose to do, as it inevitably leads to losing customers.

website change

They don’t give any reason for this change, which appears suspicious. Further investigation, shows that they previously ran into some trouble with the General Pharmaceutical Council in the UK. The pharmacy was using the domain name MedixPharmacy.co.uk and was found to be selling medications without keeping accurate records. They were also selling medication intended for humans as pet meds.

article in the newspaper

The pharmacy is featured in a news article on the UK’s Daily Mail national newspaper. This may have been the reason for the domain name change, as bad publicity like this might have been harming their business.

Business Name and Address

canadian

The pharmacy gives an address in Toronto, Canada. This gives the impression of being an office suite, though looking more closely at this address shows the truth.

When we check this address we can see that it is actually a PO box in a UPS Store and not the office suite they were trying to make their customers believe.

It might be fair to argue that this is just a mailing address and it doesn’t matter that it is a PO box. However, they don’t provide any other address to contact them.

The business name “AMX Holdings Ltd.” shows a few results when searching. There is a company by that name in the UK, but they have only been operating for a few months, so that may not be it.

We have found a link to another company called “MDX Healthcare Ltd.” and the website for this business does link to this pharmacy site. It is a medical wholesale business which is registered on the UK Companies House business database.

status: active

Older versions of the pharmacy site show they used an address in the UK, instead of the current Canadian address. This could indicate a change of ownership or at the very least a change of direction. The previous address is that of a high street pharmacy store and seems more reliable than their current PO box.

Legal Approvals

Previously, this pharmacy gave an address in the UK for their operation. This did require them to follow the rules in that country, and it seems they did correctly do that at the time. Since they now give an address in Canada, they aren’t bound by the same rules, however. The previous seals found on older versions of the store are no longer displayed.

They don’t provide any regulatory approval currently. Where previously they had regulatory seals they now have logos for postal services.

shipping options

Looking in the LegitScript database, we find that this pharmacy is listed as unapproved. It is better than their lowest rating of a rogue business but doesn’t exactly give any confidence in the drugstore.

unapproved

Medications on Sale

The store seems to offer a reasonable range of products. While they might have previously dispensed their medications in the UK, they now use international fulfillment centers. These include centers located in:

  • the UK
  • New Zealand
  • Australia
  • Canada

They don’t give any details about the fulfillment centers used, though they do tell you which country your pills will be sent from before ordering. This is more of a risk than when the meds were sent from their pharmacy store.

men's health drugs

Prescription Requirements

They do correctly say that you need a valid prescription for most of the pills that they offer. This will need to be mailed to them, though you can email or fax as well.

MedixRx.com Coupon

We don’t have any coupons for this store at the present time.

Payments and Deliveries

The site is secured by a valid SSL certificate and you can make payment for your products using major credit cards.

Shipping from this pharmacy is free. Delivery times are said to be 2 or 3 weeks.

Customer Support

If you have any complaints, there is a US or UK phone number or an online form to fill out. The US phone number is toll-free and you can also fax or email them. This range of contact methods suggests that customer support should be fairly good.

When reading through the customer feedback, it appears some people have issues with the support provided, however.

Medixrx.com Reviews and Testimonials

They use Trustpilot to collect their MedixRx.com reviews. They currently have a pretty good overall rating of 4.3 out of 5. Though despite this, you don’t have to look too far to find negative feedback.

positive and negative

In particular, there have been many customers recently who have experienced delays in their deliveries. This may just be a problem related to the current pandemic, but it seems customer support isn’t being as helpful as customers expect.

Conclusion

This pharmacy has an interesting history, once they were dispensing medications from their UK pharmacy store, now they use international fulfillment centers. And this change hasn’t really been for the better.

They lack any regulation, don’t provide enough detail about where the meds are dispatched from, and are currently going through some supply issues. It isn’t all bad, however, with many customers very happy with the service provided. We give the pharmacy a rating of 3.2 stars out of 5.



Possible alternatives

While brick and mortar pharmacies are a safe bet any day, online pharmacies are better, cheaper and more convenient. There is a ton of pharmacies on the internet, and this ends up confusing the consumers, as they do not know who is legitimate and who is out for a quick back. This is where we come in; our experts are constantly scouring the internet, looking for pharmacies and evaluating them based on set criteria.

We provide highly relevant information about these pharmacies, which allows you to choose where to shop for your medication and decide what establishments to stay away from. Our content is periodically updated with information about both existing and upcoming online pharmacies.

  1. Strange review. I’ve used Medix for a couple of years and they’re probably one of the most transparent companies I’ve dealt with. Most of your review, including trustpilot reviews is outdated. In fact I went on their review page and I’m seeing something different to what you are saying. Just seems you are pushing other sites. Maybe getting money from them to discredit safe sites like Medix. Wouldn’t be surprised.

    • Thanks for the comment! However, we analyze all available info and according to it, the website has a good rating. “I went on their review page and I’m seeing something different to what you are saying.” Could you clarify what the differences have you seen? We took both negative and positive reviews from Trustpilot and they are quite fresh that’s why we cannot understand your claim.
