Self-Introduction of Treated.com
Treated.com is an online pharmacy which claims to offer simple and secure online treatments. There is information suggesting that at treated.com, they are providing customers with the most efficient and speedy online healthcare service. They are suggesting that their registered pharmacy is providing treatments for various different health conditions. They are an UK based online consultation and private prescription service and according to the information on the site, they have started their business in February 2015 meaning this is nearly a 4 years old pharmacy and they claim to be absolutely legal and a licensed pharmacy. Customers can check the pharmacy’s registration number right on their main page. They also shared the address of their pharmacy which is located in Bolton, UK. There’s information suggesting that they are the finalist of eCommerce Awards of 2016. According to the information on their site, they are an active social media pharmacy meaning you can read their blog or find them on Twitter or Facebook or other places. There’s also information suggesting that the domain is licensed under an agreement with HR Healthcare Ltd. and currently, Treated is an UK service which has all the verification certificates of Care Quality Commission, MHRA with the company number C42389. People who are interested are also able to search for the names of those people working at this company. They claim to be ready to help everyone who needs help offering a phone number which people can dial and get the help from licensed and professional staff. The pharmacy claims to offer 24 hours delivery, every customers’ details are always secure and they are offering only genuine branded medicines here. The pharmacy claims to be featured on different sources such as Heart, NetDoctor, Women’s Health, BBC, Daily Mail as well as The Independent. So far, all of this looks fairly good.
Assortment Diversity Treated
Right on their main page you can see information suggesting that they are offering most efficient and speedy online healthcare service. So you can read information suggesting that the pharmacy is providing treatments for infections, chronic diseases, acute illnesses, male and female health as well as lifestyle treatments. Also, they claim to prescribe more than 201 medicines and in total, they are treating 54 of medical conditions. You can use the search function by entering a medicine or condition and you’re going to be displayed the medications according to what you entered.
Plus to that, as much as we can see, there is *quick links* and clicking on it I am displayed a number of different health conditions and different medications. For example:
I have been mostly interested in checking Men’s Health medications and there I noticed the company is offering medications for these conditions: enlarged prostate, erectile dysfunction, hair loss as well as low testosterone and premature ejaculation. I have checked the ED types of drugs and as much as I could find there, the pharmacy offers 13 treatments for ED. I have checked it a bit closer and I noticed there is Viagra, Cialis and Levitra all in their original and generic forms. There are a few other medications as well.
All in all, the selection of medications seems to be fairly good as there is quite a good number of medicines. However, there are some health conditions that are having only 2 drugs. Plus, in ED category there are 13 drugs but I’ve seen other pharmacies with a much higher selection of drugs. And generally, 200 different drugs is really good, but other pharmacies offer much more. In the end, customers might find what they are looking for here, but I can feel that some people might struggle finding some drugs. For all of this, my rating is 4 stars out of 5.
Prices Affordability
I guess there’s no need to explain why prices affordability it is so important and that’s why, I am going to get straight to checking the prices for medications. I’ve been interested in checking the prices for generic Viagra and brand Viagra and here’s what results I’ve got. If you want to purchase 50 mg generic Viagra (sildenafil) then you would need to pay 79 GBP (all the prices on this site are in GBP since this is an UK site and pharmacy) for 32 pills. They claim you save 40 GBP by choosing 32 pills quantity. If you purchase 4 pills you have no savings and you would need to pay 14.99 GBP. Honestly talking, that’s a really big price for the generic version of Viagra.
I was afraid to check the price for brand Viagra as I was afraid to see a sky high price and I was right. 4 pills of 50 mg Viagra would cost you 34 GBP and getting 32 pills would make you save 52 GBP so the total price would be 219.99 GBP. That’s around 10 USD per pill.
I have then wanted to check the prices for Cialis and assuming you get the normal dose of 20 mg and the max quantity you can purchase here of 32 pills then you would need to pay 303.99 GBP with a saving of 32 GBP. That’s still an overestimated price.
Lastly, I wanted to check the price for generic Cialis (tadalafil) and if you get the same dosage and quantity as for brand Cialis then you would need to pay 84.99 GBP with a saving of 115 GBP. Although that’s much lower compared to its branded version, it is still an overestimated price compared to other online pharmacies.
To my opinion, the prices for generics are even more overestimated. Initially, I wanted to rate them with 2 stars but then I noticed that the prescription and shipping is included in the price. That’s still a high price but that’s a bit better. In the end, there are online pharmacies with much lower prices and for this reason, I am going to rate them with 3 stars.
Shipping Options
I could not find any information on their website suggesting where exactly they are shipping and since there’s no mention that they do offer international shipping or anything in this matter I can assume they are only offering shipping to UK.
By searching for information about shipping and delivery I managed to find a little bit on their FAQ page. There they have mentioned that the delivery is made with the help of the following shipping companies: Royal Mail, UPS as well as DPD. I found information suggesting that customers are not being allowed to choose their delivery time and that’s why I can assume that there are no multiple shipping options allowed. There’s information suggesting that that next day delivery made on weekdays and Saturdays in the UK is free, nevertheless, they have not mentioned what is the price for the delivery in all other cases. They offer tracking as well which is sent by email.
In the end, I am going to rate the shipping policies with 2 stars only because they do not offer shipping outside the UK, there is no multiple shipping options to choose from and although they did claimed the shipping is for free in certain cases, they did not shared how much it costs in other cases plus it seems there is a lot of shipping information that misses. That’s why my rate is 2 stars.
Payment Options
By checking for the payment methods accepted by this online pharmacy I did managed to find right on their main page that they are accepting multiple payment methods but the most important is: cash on delivery.
As much as we can see, they do accept visa, master card maestro etc. which is extremely good, but cash on delivery is the safest way to purchase medications or anything else online because you don’t risk with your money until you receive your goods. When the courier is going to be at your door with the needed items you pay with cash. That’s super convenient and the best payment method that a pharmacy can offer.
Since there are multiple payment methods and mostly thanks to the COD payment accepted I am going to rate this unit with 5 points!
Technical Characteristics
Google Page Speed about the Website Loading
The technical characteristics of an online pharmacy’s website are super important because people definitely wouldn’t like to wait for the pages to load for too long. I have decided to check the information using the Google Page Speed Insights test. As much as I found there, the desktop version seem to be perfect overall with absolutely no problems at all, however the mobile version of this website is having a bit of problems as the indicators are yellow marked and rated with 77 out of 100 meaning that the page speed is average.
So, since the desktop version page speed is perfect and the mobile version is average, my rate is going to be 4 stars for this unit.
Mobile Version
I checked if this online pharmacy is having a mobile version for their website because there are a lot of people out there that are using their mobile devices to browse websites and to arrange orders online, and arranging medicine orders through the mobile device is not an exception. As much as I noticed, the website is having a mobile version which is very good. The text is properly displayed, elements are reasonably showed on the small screen, the clickable elements are not too close to each other and everything seem to be optimized for the mobile screen devices. The only problem is the page speed which requires a bit of time until it loads. This is a little bit inconvenient for mobile users.
There seem to be one little problem while everything else seem to be perfect in regards to the mobile version of this online pharmacy. That is why my rate for this is going to be 4 stars.
Is the Connection Secure?
To check if the connection is secure you should access treated.com and near the address bar check for the green lock. If it misses then it means the connection is not secure. Luckily, treate.com does use a secure connection and that’s really good. I checked for more information and even better news is the fact that they are using a 256 bit key encryption which is a higher security level and therefore the page of this pharmacy makes it really hard to be hacked. This has been verified by Let’s Encrypt company.
One problem is the fact that the website is not providing the ownership information and that’s not very good. Anyway, since they do offer measures to protect customers data my mark is going to be 4 stars out of 5.
Antivirus Presence On-Site
It is extremely important to have an antivirus on the website as this is saving customers to get their devices inflicted with internet viruses or other threats. Without an antivirus, the risk for a customer to get a virus into their devices by browsing the website is really high, unless the customer has installed an antivirus on their own. I’ve tried to find for an antivirus on the website but it seems there is not one installed. The site admin should really think about adding an antivirus to make customers’ shopping experience on their website fully safe. Until the risk of catching viruses and malwares while browsing the website persist, my mark can’t be higher than 1 point for this unit.
How to Make an Order?
Although this online pharmacy is claiming that registering on their website to complete an order is not mandatory, customers should undergo a medical examination to be able to order here. As much as I noticed, the examination is including some of the common questions in relation of the chosen health condition. There seem to be around 18 different questions.
After you complete the medical questionnaire, there seem to be the checkout and the payment step. This means that there you choose the shipping address and the payment method.
Although registering is not mandatory, people can still register on the website if they wish to. Plus to that, it seems that tracking your order you would need to register or changing the address would also need you to register.
To purchase the needed medication you should use the search function or use the categories of medications. After you have found your needed medication just click on *buy online now* on the needed drug and there choose your needed dosage per pill and the quantity of pills. you would see the price and if you agree with all of it, click on *buy now*. You’re then going to be on the medical questionnaire page. Fill it all up and fill up the shipping/ payment information and your order is ready.
All in all, the ordering procedure is not too fast or too simple to be honest. You have no opportunity to change the currency, no opportunity to see what’s the price per pill – you should get the medical questionnaire done which can be annoying and all in all, the ordering procedure at other pharmacies is much easier and faster. In the end, my rating for this unit is going to be 3 points.
Is Treated.com Legit and Safe?
ScamAdviser.com about the Website Security Rate
I’m always checking the security rate of an online pharmacy on scamadviser.com where I found out that treated.com is 100% safe and that’s amazing. Scamadviser.com suggests the site is high trust rating and since this site looks safe to use it is easier to have trust in them and their legitimacy. Nevertheless, there are still few points I do not like. The email used is related to 200 other different sites, the phone number is not shared and the organization, owner and owner address is data protected information. In addition to that, although the site is UK, the owner city is Toronto, Canada, and the probably origin website is from 3 different countries and none of them is UK – Canada, US or Netherlands.
There is just way too much information that is hidden and information that’s too suspicious. That’s why, even though scamadviser.com said it has 100% trust rate, my rate is 4 stars.
Prescription Requirements
This online pharmacy does not ask for a valid prescription but there is a reason why they do not ask for it – Treated.com is offering online assessment of your health condition and since every single customer should answer some questions before actually getting the needed drugs and then they are offered a prescription along with their drugs. They do seem to take the customers health and selling prescription drugs seriously with serious attitudes. My rate is 5 stars.
Treated.com Legitimacy to LegitScript.com
According to the information that I have managed to find on legitscript.com, the treated.com online pharmacy is unapproved. Unapproved online pharmacy doesn’t always mean the service is not legit, however it still doesn’t mean that it is legit. It only shares that some specific requirements set by LegitScript.com are not met and that’s not really good. Unapproved online pharmacy status on legitscript.com receives a rate of 3 stars since the worst status is Rogue, but it is still not an approved pharmacy.
Customer Reviews about Treated.com
Reviews on Treated.com
Unfortunately, I was not able to find any customer reviews on their own website and it means that treated.com does not share any customers reviews on their own site which is quite problematic to my opinion. Instead of sharing reviews on their own website, the pharmacy decided to recommend customers to read the reviews about them left on trustpilot.com. However, that’s still customer reviews on foreign sources. To my opinion, the administrators should pay more attention to this as I do think that every customer should have the opportunity to write a review on the pharmacy’s site. For this reason, my rate is 1 point.
Reviews on the Foreign Resources about Treated.com
As I said it earlier, there are no reviews on treated.com, but the pharmacy does recommend customers to read the reviews on trust pilot. I am going to check those reviews but I also wanted to check the reviews on other websites and what’s strange is that I could only find a single customer review on other sites than trustpilot.com. That’s strange because there are 1367 reviews on trustpilot.com and only one on all other websites.
The other review I found on other website is positive, but very outdated.
The reviews on trustpilot.com are recently written and most of them are positive which is very good.
Although there are few negative reviews, it only proves that this online pharmacy is having a lot of customers and it is a reliable pharmacy to my opinion.
Treated.com Coupon Codes
Unfortunately, we found absolutely nothing. It is not the fact that I could not find any coupon codes, I could not find anything at all.
All I can mention is that the prices you can see for the medications are including the prescription as they claim and the 24 hours delivery. You can save only a little bit of money by purchasing more medications at once but the discounts are not huge.
Except for the little discounts and the price, which includes the shipping and the prescription, I found absolutely nothing. I honestly think that this is by far not enough. I am going to ask the customer support a few questions in regards to this but so far my mark is 1 point.
There is not a contact page on their website, however you can see all the methods to get in touch with this pharmacy on the bottom of their website. For example, they have shared what are their channels (twitter, Facebook etc.), you can see the pharmacy address
the pharmacy’s email address and also there’s the phone number which you can dial and talk with them.
Lastly, there’s a way to get in touch with them using the contact form as well.
All in all, I am pretty satisfied with the contact info so my rate is 4 stars.
Getting a Consultation
I have used the contact form to ask them about the coupon codes and ways to save money and no response ever arrived to my email. Since this online pharmacy is not taking customers needs seriously by ignoring them, my rate is 1 point. I wanted for more than 2 days to get that response.
Conclusion: Strange Legitimacy Not Worth It
Treated.com is an online pharmacy and prescription service in UK. Their headquarters is located in Bolton, UK, however scamadviser.com suggested the site is from 3 different location: US, Canada and Netherlands but no UK. The prices at this pharmacy are pretty overestimated and they have no coupon codes. The assortment diversity is pretty good but many other pharmacies have much better assortments of drugs.
Big problem is that this pharmacy is unapproved on legitscript.com and although scamadviser.com has 100% trust rate, I discovered many alarming problems on scamadviser.com. The pharmacy claims to accept Cash on Delivery payment method but the customer support service is not available to confirm this. Generally, this pharmacy is having some pretty big drawbacks and I wouldn’t say that it is worth it.
