Self-Introduction of ExtraPharma.com
ExtraPharma.com is an online pharmacy which doesn’t seem an ordinary pharmacy from the first few minutes of analyzing the information on their main page. According to the information that we can notice on their site, the pharmacy is offering the drugs that are worth buying, however we are going to check if that’s true in this review. I have then discovered their claim suggesting that ExtraPharma is a small Russian pharmacy store that is specialized in selling of nootropics and prescribed drugs. According to the information on that page *about us* page – since the beginning of 2016 they were running this site to sell their medicine directly to their customers throughout the world. This means they offering world wide shipping as much as it seems and that they were operating for the last 3 years. They claim that the pharmacy has been opened in order to help those people struggling to pay big prices for their needed medications as they are offering high quality drugs for very low prices and mostly – nootropics as much as it seems. There’s also info suggesting: low local prices for wide range of drugs and favorable exchange rate is allowing extra pharma to arrange the supply of many products at very competitive prices. All in all, there’s very little information about their own pharmacy to be honest. There’s no information where they are located and generally, the site looks very strange and I wouldn’t say that the site is looking legitimate. But so far, these are only my thoughts as through this review I am going to try to determine it all and make sure whether is this site worth it or not.
Assortment Diversity
In order to determine if this online pharmacy is having a wide selection of drugs I decided to check through their categories of drugs. As much as I noticed, right on their main page all their categories of drugs are shared on their main page twice. One list is offering a number near the category of drugs indicating how many drugs are located in there. unfortunately, I wouldn’t say that the categories are very much and that they have too much drugs in each category (anywhere between 1 to maximum 13 different drug per category). They seem to offer medications for: cognitive enhancement; adaptogens; antibiotics; antiviral; bodybuilding, fitness and weight loss; mildronate; pain relief; physical energy; stress and anxiety; Ventolin; phenotropil and other best drugs as well as *things*.
All in all, there seem to be around 60 different medications and that’s it. Plus to that, the medications are very strangely arranged, in strange categories of drugs. Customers are also able to use the search function available on the pharmacy’s website. This would allow you to search through all of their approximately 60 drugs by the quick search.
All in all, I have big doubts that this is enough. Around only 60 different drugs is not enough to satisfy customers. Especially taking in consideration that a lot of different medications can’t be found here. example are: asthma drugs; blood pressure, cholesterol, heart, ED drugs; anti allergic and many others. They claim that customers shouldn’t be worried about the quality of these drugs as they are all of the highest quality. As much as I noticed by doing a quick research, they seem to offer a few brand drugs too, but mostly they seem to have some generic medications. Anyway, the assortment of drugs isn’t very wide to my opinion. My rate for the assortment of drugs can’t be more than 3 stars. and I give them that rate only because it seems customers may find here some drugs that may be harder to get in other places. But they do not offer any type of Cialis (tadalafil) or Levitra (vardenafil) which is a big problem.
Prices Affordability
Remembering the pharmacy claim: they are offering very low prices which are allowing customers to save a lot of money by doing business with this online pharmacy. That’s a big claim and that’s great in case that’s true because customers may indeed save money. To check if that’s true I am going to check through the ED treating medications as it seems they do offer - Viagra. As I said earlier – no tadalafil or vardenafil (Cialis or Levitra) items can be found. Instead, they give Viagra generic and brand and so I found out that for getting 4 tablets of (seemingly) brand Viagra 100 mg you need to pay 64.98 USD. I have extremely big doubts that this is a price we can call *affordable*.
Then, I have searched for generic Viagra where I found out that they are offering discounts for it. all along with the discounts, the price for 20 tablets of generic Viagra 100 mg would cost you 43.98 USD meaning they have a price more than 2 USD per pill. Then again, I doubt that’s such an affordable price compared to other pharmacies. The price for generic, at least, is still better compared to other pharmacies.
With such prices I’ve seen so far, I started to have big doubts that all other medications are having indeed good prices. At least, Viagra isn’t having a cheap price at all, and that’s especially for brand. The generic version is more affordable and having a much better price, yet – not a very good one. My rate for price policy is 3 stars only.
Shipping Options at Extra Pharma
There’s a delivery informational page that ExtraPharma.com is offering so it is obvious I checked it out. The information on that page is suggesting that they are offering 2 delivery options: standard international airmail and expedited delivery. They also claimed to offer a free shipping for all orders with standard international airmail which is great to my opinion.
They claim that so far, they have no history of lost parcels in transit, but if this does somehow happens to you, they would offer a free reship or refund. The estimated delivery time is: 15 to 30 days depending on the country for standard international airmail and 7 to 12 days also depending on the country for expedited delivery.
Although the registered delivery (standard international airmail) is free of charge, the expedited delivery costs 49 USD per order which is a huge fee. Plus, they claim that orders are dispatched within 48 hours and to be honest, I do not think this is fast enough.
So, I do not like the high shipping fee for the expedited shipping and the slow order processing. But I do like the worldwide shipping and free standard shipping to everyone. My rate is 3 stars.
Payment Methods
Exactly as with the delivery information, the pharmacy is offering a payment informational page which I have accessed and I noticed they are offering 4 different payment methods: online payment with your bank card; direct bank transfer; money transfer and bitcoin. On that page you can find some more information about each payment method in particular.
Reading the information you can see their warning that paying with MoneyGram or Western Union there’s about 10% fee for a transaction. Plus they also say that people deciding to pay with Bitcoin are going to get a 10% discount. I think that all of this is great. They have pretty various payment methods accepted and they offering necessary information about each of them. The payment options here receive 5 stars.
Technical Characteristics ExtraPharma.com
Google Page Speed about the Website Loading
In order to check the page speed data I am going to use the page speed insights test offered by google which offered very valuable information about the website loading speed. by doing my research I have found out that the mobile version of this online pharmacy website has an average page speed loading as it is rated with 78 points out of 100 and is yellow marked.
The desktop version of this pharmacy seem to be much better as it is rated with 99 points which is near to perfect but it still has a fast page loading speed as it is green marked. All of this indicates that customers shouldn’t really have any issues loading this website as the data we’ve got here is pretty good.
In the end, I think that this unit is deserving a 4 stars mark as the desktop version is having a fast page speed but the mobile version, although not low, it is average.
Mobile Version
Another test that I will run on extrapharma.com is the mobile friendly test that is also offered by google services. This test result is negative, unfortunately and this means that the website is not having a mobile friendly version. This makes the navigation through the site be very and very difficult for mobile users. The page can be difficult to use on a mobile device because there are mainly 2 issues: content is wider than screen and clickable elements are too close together.
That’s sad as a lot of customers may want to order medications from their mobile devices but it seems they can’t do it. so, since the page is not mobile friendly, I am going to give my mark of only one point.
Is the Connection Secure?
In order to determine if the online pharmacy is having a secure connection while accessing the site, you can check for a green lock in your browser near the domain address bar. The green lock indicates a secure connection with the website that you’re currently visiting and unfortunately, there is no green lock near the extrapharma.com address. The green lock still misses even on their checkout page. Customers just can’t feel safe trying to order from such an online pharmacy because the data they may send can be obtained by hackers. I would recommend the site administrators to take this in consideration and have at least some kind of protection. Until they change it, I just can’t give them more than 1 point.
Antivirus Presence
Except for the fact that it is important to have an SSL encryption on the website, it is exactly as important to have an antivirus on the site in order to make the customers make their ordering and navigation on the site fully safe. But, regretfully, it seems that exactly as the site administrators have ignored the SSL encryption – they also ignored the importance of an antivirus on the site. The customers may catch unwanted viruses or other internet threats while browsing through this site. this is the reason why I strongly recommend everyone to have an antivirus installed on your own device before browsing this site or any other that is not protected by an antivirus. My mark – 1 point.
How to Order from ExtraPharma.com?
From as much as it seems, for ordering here you do not need to register if you don’t want to. There seem to be 2 options: you can checkout from your account if you have one or register if you don’t, but you can also have guest checkout without the need to register. That’s great. Before ordering, I would recommend to firstly select the currency that you need so you would understand better the prices. you can change to: Euro, Pound Sterling and to US Dollar.
So, after you choose your currency, you can start ordering. Select the needed medication by searching for it using the search box function or using the categories of medications. After you have chosen your needed drug select the quantity. For example, if there are 4 tablets in pack and you add 2 then you would get a total of 8 pills. Adding 2 packs for 20 tablets you would receive a total of 20 pills. Select the needed quantity and add it to your cart.
You can view your cart if you wish to, or you could go on checkout. Viewing your cart you can check the total amount, all drugs added, estimate shipping and taxed, use a coupon code or a gift certificate if you have one.
After you’ve done it all, click on checkout. Here is where you need to either checkout as guest or register an account.
After this, it seems there are 5 more steps with a total of 6 steps that you need to undergo until you confirm the order.
Unfortunately, there is no way to see the price per pill which is a bit annoying, and no option to change the language on the website. Plus, although registration is not mandatory, it seems that ordering is not as easy as at other pharmacies. yet, it is not that hard. Anyway, in the end, I think that this pharmacy ordering procedure is deserving 3 stars.
Is Extra Pharma Legit and Safe?
ScamAdviser.com about the Website Security Rate
According to scamadviser.com, this site is involving a high risk country as the site seem to be Russian Federation based. Nonetheless, the site administrators did mentioned they are a Russian pharmacy so that’s no wonder scamadviser.com found out they are based in Russia. The problem is that the website doesn’t seem to be popular among customers as they have very few visitors and scamadviser.com recommends to use caution as it has a trust rate of 53%. Other issues include: the organization, the owner and owner address including the pharmacy’s location is all hidden information and I doubt that the pharmacy tried to hide their identity for no reason. All in all, this scamadviser.com report is receiving a rate of 3 stars.
Prescription Policy
Unfortunately, it seems that the non prescription policy is working for this pharmacy and it indicates an illegal activity of the pharmacy. They do recommend customers not to self cure and to get an expert advice before ordering, nevertheless, a prescription is not required.
They may recommend customers to have a prescription first, but asking for a valid prescription before selling prescription items is mandatory. Not following this rule is a big problem so my rate is going to be 1 star for the unit.
LegitScript.com Status about ExtraPharma.com
Unfortunately, legitscript.com doesn’t have any information about this online pharmacy as running the website through the legit script here’s the message that I’ve got:
Without any information I simply can’t rate this unit so we can’t properly estimate the legitimacy of this pharmacy.
Customer Reviews about Extra Pharma
Reviews on Website ExtraPharma.com
The customer reviews are extremely important to be checked in order to make a solid conclusion about the pharmacy. I decided to check with the customer reviews on their own website and so I’ve started my research for customer reviews on their own website. But unfortunately, I found no reviews at all. It seems the site administrators didn’t make it possible for customers to write or read customer reviews on their own website about the pharmacy. There’s only the possibility, as much as it seems, to write reviews about a specific product, but it seems that there are no reviews with customer reviews at all.
Since, there are no customer reviews on the website it is obvious that I can’t highly rate this unit. The reviews are extremely important. My mark is 1 point for lack of reviews on the website and hopefully there are reviews on third party sites.
Customer Reviews on Third Party Resources
I have started to search for customer reviews online as I felt that there’s something wrong with this online pharmacy and there are no reviews on their own site and I wanted to either confirm this or to check if I’m wrong. I have then searched for customer reviews online and i’ve found a lot of customer reviews addressed to an online pharmacy with a similar website name: extrapharmacy, however I couldn’t find any customer reviews addressed to this online pharmacy:extrapharm.com. but the previous website is not the same as this one. So, in the end, we got no customer reviews specifically about this online pharmacy and I find it to be quite a big problem. There are no reviews on their own website and no reviews anywhere online. Quite problematic to my opinion. My mark is 1 star.
Coupon Codes ExtraPharma.com
I have already mentioned the fact that registered airmail shipping is free and that’s really good to my opinion. By searching for coupon codes I’ve also seen that if you decide to pay via bitcoin you will get a 10 % discount either – something I mentioned too. However, it seems that besides free shipping and 10% discount by paying with bitcoin, there is no other way to save you money as I couldn’t find coupon codes, free pills or anything else other than this. They only claim that some medications are already having some discounted prices.
Unfortunately, I have big doubts that’s enough. My rate for this unit is 2 points only.
Customer Support Service
ExtraPharma.com Contact Info
In order to find out what are the methods available to get in touch with this pharmacy and the entire contact information, I have checked their contact page. there I found out that they are accepting questions exclusively by email only. They have shared the email and there’s the contact form and that’s it. There are no phone numbers, there’s no location, no fax numbers, nothing at all. This means that the only way to talk with them is the email / contact form (which is basically the same method). The contact information doesn’t deserve more than 1 point.
Getting a Consultation
Getting a consultation is very important because this is what ultimately is making us understand if the pharmacy is worth it or not. A professional response gives the impression of a good pharmacy, but what impression gives you when nobody answers your questions? That’s right -the pharmacy should be avoided. And that’s the case with extrapharma.com as nobody answered back to my email 24 hours after I have wrote my message. No response is obviously deserving a rate of 1 point.
Conclusion: Russian Strange Pharmacy with no Reviews or Customer Support
ExtraPharma.com is a Russian online pharmacy that seems to have quite a limited selection of medications for average prices. They seem to strange different medications and the website itself is strange, strange enough that legitscript.com didn’t even reviewed it. I have big doubts that they are worth using since they are having no customer reviews anywhere online or on their own website and the customer support department seem to be on existent as nobody answers questions. There is no other contact info than email or contact form which is a huge problem as well. The pharmacy owner are trying their hard to hide the identity and location as not even scamadviser.com could find this info. Plus to that, they ask for no prescription for selling potentially dangerous drugs. I have big doubts that having trust in this Russian pharmacy is a good idea.
