Self-Introduction of Drug-Store-24h.com
Drug-Store-24h.com is an online pharmacy that claims to be the number one Canadian pharmacy. So, it seems we are dealing with a Canadian pharmacy, we are going to check if that’s true through this review. According to the information, I managed to find on their website, the pharmacy is offering 100% confidentiality, they are claiming to have special offers and most importantly – they are offering low prices as they are claiming that their drug prices are 70% less than in your local pharmacy. That’s a serious claim which we are going to check its validity later. Other things that I am going to need to check the validity of is the icons suggesting that this online pharmacy is CPA approved, CIPA approved, HealthPricer.com top rated pharmacy as well as MIPA approved pharmacy. On the copyright information we believe the pharmacy claims to be online for 14 years as they claim to be online since 2004. On “About Us” page I found info which suggests that their pharmacy is the leader in delivering medications throughout the world. Their goal it is to provide medications at discount rates to everybody who is affected by the expensive local prices. They are aimed at supplying customers all over the world with medications of high quality at the lowest prices. Also, the company is being focused on impeccable delivery and health sustention of their customers. Although they claim to be a Canadian pharmacy, unfortunately, I found no physical address shared on this website which could confirm this. The company tries to give the impression of a licensed and legitimate pharmacy which has the best offers, but we need to check it all to be sure that these are not fake claims.
Assortment Diversity
The pharmacy is claiming that all the medications you can find at this pharmacy are FDA approved, high quality and safe to take. They suggest to offer a wide selection of drugs and customers can find many different prescription and OTC medications. Also, among the drugs they are selling – customers can find generic and branded drugs too. I decided to check if the pharmacy is indeed offering a wide selection of drugs and I noticed that on their main page they are offering popular products which include: generic Viagra, Cialis and Levitra; brand versions of these drugs; dapoxetine; tadapox; malegra; propecia; Zithromax and many others. I can assume these are the best selling drugs. Customers can also check for medications using the first letter of the drugs. Here’s how it all looks on the website.
But to find the selection of drugs you can check the categories of drugs which seem to be a lot of different categories for different health issues. The categories are arranged in the alphabetical way except for the special offers and bestsellers. Also, it seems the pharmacy is focused in selling erectile dysfunction drugs as this category is signed with a thumbs up icon. The categories of drugs include: allergies; antibiotics; anxiety; asthma; birth control; blood pressure; cholesterol lowering; depression; diabetes; pain relief; man’s health; quit smoking, weight loss, woman’s health and many others.
Another and last way to search for the needed medications it is to use the search function which can be found on their main page or any other of their pages on the website. You can use the keyword to find the drug.
I have checked through the categories of drugs and I noticed that there are quite a lot of different medications in each category. So there are prescription and OTC drugs including both generic and brand medications. Customers are having a very wide chance to find whatever drugs they need as the selection of drugs at Drug Store 24H seem to be really wide. I think that this unit well deserve a rate of 5 stars.
Prices Affordability
There is information on their website suggesting that this pharmacy is offering low prices; prices that are 70% less compared to those in your local pharmacy.
In order to check if this statement is true I have to check through the medications and I will check through the ED types of medications as this pharmacy is mostly focused in selling these drugs as I earlier said, plus those are medications that I am mostly familiar with. I have found out that the lowest possible price for generic Viagra is 0.36 USD per pill, lowest possible price per pill of generic Cialis is 0.76 USD and for generic Levitra is 1.2 UDS per pill.
However, customers should remember that these are the lowest possible prices in case customers get the lowest dosage for the pills (25 mg for Viagra, 2.5 mg for Cialis and 10 mg for Levitra) and a quantity of pills of 360 pills. However, the prices per pills can be much higher per pill if you purchase less quantity of pills at once than 360 pills or higher dosages per pill. Here’s an example:
I also checked the price for brands for same medications and the price range here depends on the same factors. But in general, the prices are really good here, even for brands.
The prices for medications, for both generic and brands medications are really good and I do think that they are indeed 70% less compared to those in your local pharmacy. The prices are affordable allowing customers to save money. That’s really important and for this reason I am going to rate this unit with 5 stars.
Shipping Options
I have been searching for information about shipping options available on their website and I found out that they are claiming to offer world wide shipping – everyone around the globe is able to order here. There is information on the site which suggests that the pharmacy offers 2 shipping options: airmail with an usual waiting period of 2 to 3 weeks but the package may be delivered earlier. The online tracking is not available for this option and it has a fee of 9.95 USD. They claim that customers can get free airmail shipping for orders over 200 USD.
The second shipping option is EMS which does have online tracking and a shipping fee of 19.95 USD with delivery between 3 to 8 days. However, due to customs they claim they can’t guarantee this delivery period.
The customers can get free delivery and they are offered 2 shipping options with world wide delivery. All of this is very good but what I don’t like is no overnight shipping option not even to customers living near their stores and to get free shipping option you need to spend quite a lot of money – not everyone can afford this. Due to these 2 drawbacks I have the rate to level down the rate to 3 points.
Payment Methods
While searching for payment methods information on their website I have seen on their bottom page 2 icons which suggests that the pharmacy is accepting Visa and Master Card.
That’s very good as these are good options, however that’s not enough. That’s being confirmed on the FAQ page that these are the payment options available and the same thing is confirmed on the checkout page. As said, these are good payment options, but a lot of customers may not find it too convenient as they may want to pay using other options such as wire transfer; e check; bank transfer or many other ways to pay. For this reason, I can’t rate them with anything more than 2 stars.
Technical Characteristics of Drug-Store-24h.com
Google Page Speed Test
I am going to use a google service which is named Page Speed Insights test. With the help of this service, customers can easily find the page speed data about any website, including any online pharmacy’s website. You can see the data about this online pharmacy in the screenshots that I am going to post below. That’s very important data as there are very few customers, to my opinion, who would agree to wait long enough for the pages of a website to load in order to do business with a company. So, here’s the data I got:
As much as we can see, both indicators are yellow marked and as we can see, this indicates that both mobile and desktop versions are having average page speed. This means that there may be some issues with the loading of this online pharmacy for both mobile and desktop version. This is going to make me rate this unit with 3 stars as customers have some chances to have issues with the page loading speed.
Mobile Version
I honestly think that a mobile version of any website that is selling any kind of goods is mandatory and that’s because the number of those customers that are using their smartphones to order them is really high and it is constantly growing nowadays. So, to be convenient to order from them from a smartphone – they need to have a mobile version of the site.
Using the google mobile version test I am going to check if this pharmacy does have a mobile version of their website.
As we can see, the page cannot be reached. That’s quite a problem. The word count is reduced, there is no scrolling, the text is large, clickable elements are no so close together. Nevertheless, I have to give 3 stars for this unit since Google was not able to make a comprehensive analysis of this site.
Personal Data Protection
The customers personal data is protected only if the online pharmacy is using a secure connection on the site. To check if the site uses a secure connection customers should check for a green lock near the domain address bar. The green lock, unfortunately, misses for drug-store-24h.com and this indicates that the site is not protected by an SSL encryption protocol.
The connection becomes secured only on the checkout page and it seems they are using a high security of 256 bit SSL encryption which is very good that they keep this protocol on the checkout. Still, there’s no ownership information shared and it is preferable when all pages on the website are secured with this protocol. For this reason, I can’t rate them with anything else than 3 points here.
Checking Antivirus
An antivirus is extremely important and every legal and serious online pharmacy should offer an antivirus on the site in order to protect their customers. Without an antivirus customers may catch unwanted viruses or malwares into their personal devices while browsing and arranging orders from unprotected website. Unfortunately, drug-store-24h.com is among unprotected sites as there is no antivirus on the site. That’s risky for customers and very inconvenient. I do not love such an attitude and without an antivirus protection, my rate for this unit can’t be anything more than 1 point.
The Convenience of Ordering from Drug Store 24h
Customers do not need to register on their website and that’s amazing to my opinion as this saves you a lot of time and energy. I don’t love the pharmacies making the registration mandatory and luckily it is not mandatory here. This really saves to avoid extra efforts. Before explaining how to order here, I have to say that I love many different things about this pharmacy. For example, I like that they offer multiple ways to search for the needed drugs. Another thing that I really appreciate is the fact that they are offering multiple columns with price per pill, savings, total price per pack and bonus. That’s all very convenient. And lastly, it is super convenient their offers to change the language and the currency on the website allowing customers to easier navigate through the website.
So, to start ordering, search for the needed medication and after choosing it click on *buy now*. Then select the dosage and the quantity and click on add to cart. This should redirect you to the shopping cart where you need to select shipping option, add discount number if you have, review then information and click on *checkout*.
This is going to redirect you to the checkout page where you need to enter the billing/ shipping address along with the payment information and complete the order.
Summary: registration is not needed, several methods to search for medication, opportunity to change the language and currency, price per pill and everything is clearly displayed and the ordering procedure seem to be really fast. My rate is 5 stars here.
Is Drug-Store-24h.com Legit?
Rating on ScamAdviser.com
We can see in the screenshot above that this online pharmacy is not considered trustworthy and there seem to be a lot of reasons why. In the end, most importantly is that this site is low trust rating and this site may not be safe to use – that’s extremely important and should be taken in consideration. It has 0% trust indicating a high risk and the site seem to be Lithuania based – a high risk country. That’s although the information on site suggested they are from Canada. Plus, organization, owner, owner country etc. is all hidden information. In addition – domain age is 4 years and that’s even though we were promised they are online since 2004. It simply doesn’t add up.
This scamadviser.com report doesn’t deserve anything more than 1 point.
Prescription Request
Usually, online pharmacies are trying to indicate that they are legitimate by claiming they ask for a valid prescription while they don’t. Not asking for a valid prescription while selling prescription drugs is against the laws and that’s why the pharmacies trying to claim they ask for one. But strangely, this pharmacy doesn’t even lie they don’t ask for a prescription.
This is against the law and non prescription policy is a huge problem. My rate for this unit is 1 point.
LegitScript.com Approval Status
According to LegitScript.com this online pharmacy is Rogue. This is not a big shock for me taking in consideration they are not asking for a prescription. Rogue pharmacy indicates the pharmacy may be doing illegal business breaking customers’ rights. I don’t recommend doing business with this pharmacy so my rate is 1 point.
Quality Certificates
As I earlier mentioned, this online pharmacy is claiming that they are having several quality certificates such as that they are CPA approved; CIPA approved; HealthPricer.com top rated and MIPA approved pharmacy.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t determine the legitimacy and validity of these certificates since they are not clickable and I tried to check it manually by searching for info about them on cipa.com. It proved the pharmacy actually doesn’t have any kind of certifications so my rate for such a lie is 1 star.
Customer Reviews Drug Store 24h
Reviews on Website
There is a page on their website which is entitled Testimonials and I obviously wanted to check it since the customer reviews are extremely important to check as they indicate the performance of an online pharmacy. Checking that page I noticed customers can read testimonials about different things as: delivery and service; Viagra; Cialis; Levitra and Hair loss. I checked them.
ately, those are not customer reviews that I would recommend having trust in. First of all – the reviews are non unique – I have seen the exact same reviews on multiple websites. Another thing indicating they are not trustworthy – they have no dates meaning they may be outdated. Anyway, because they are not unique – they shouldn’t be trusted as they are simply copied from other sources. My rate is 1 star.
Customer Reviews on Other Sources
There are fake customer reviews on their own website so I checked for the reviews on foreign sources. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any anywhere online. There is not a single world about this online pharmacy anywhere online. That’s quite a problem to my opinion because there is nothing that could indicate the performance of the online pharmacy. Without any words about this pharmacy I can’t highly rate this unit so my rate is going to be 1 point.
Drug Store 24h Coupon Codes
On their main page, customers can see information indicating that the pharmacy is offering a special offer including Viagra and Cialis having a price of 59.95 USD for 10 pills of Viagra and 10 pills of Cialis.
They also claim to offer free shipping and free pills.
One last thing that I can mention is the special offer of 10% discount for orders over 200 USD.
All of this is very good, but yet – they do not offer coupon codes and that’s a bit of a problem to my opinion. This unit is going to receive a rate of 4 stars.
Customer Support Service
Contact Information
I checked for the information on contact page and I found out that the customer support department speaks only English. They claim that each customer is a VIP to them. But I discovered that the only way to get in touch with this pharmacy is the contact form and the phone numbers.
A lot of information is missing on their contact form and this is why, I cannot rate it with more than 2 stars.
Trying to Get a Consultation
As I said, this online pharmacy only way to talk with is the contact form and the phone numbers. Since I do not want to talk with customer support department by phone numbers, the only way left to get in touch with them is contact form. I used it in order to ask for a physical address of this pharmacy and coupon codes. Then I started to wait for a response back. Waiting for 24 hours gave no response. In fact, I waited for more than a day and got no response. Seemingly, not all customers are VIP to them. I can’t rate them with more than 1 point.
Conclusion: Fake Reviews, No Trustworthiness and No Customer Support Service
Drug-Store-24h.com is an online pharmacy which claims to be number one Canadian pharmacy but all information I managed to find indicates that they are neither a Canadian pharmacy nor number one pharmacy. There’s nothing which could indicate they are from Canada and scamadviser.com, in fact, found out that they are from Lithuania. It has 0% trustworthiness on scamadviser.com, rogue internet pharmacy on legitscript.com, they don’t ask for a prescription, they have fake reviews on their website, fake quality certificates, no reviews on foreign sources and no customer support service.
They do offer wide selection of pills, really good prices for drugs, worldwide shipping with free delivery and really good offers to save money. But they are only made to attract customers and in the end to, most likely, scam them. I doubt that all of those reasons are not enough to stay away from this pharmacy.
