As I was going through my morning email this morning, I came across an email from an eDrugSearch.com member thanking me for helping her locate medication for her father online through the site, and saving her father $85 on his monthly prescriptions. She went on to say that the transaction went very smoothly, and if she would have known that it was so easy and safe to buy drugs online, she would have been ordering online years ago.
I truly enjoy hearing positive feedback from our members, and the email got me thinking. The ones that should really be thanked are the great pharmacies in our database, that offer excellent prices and go above and beyond to help their customers. After all, the pharmacies in our database reflect upon us, and keep people coming to eDrugSearch.com to locate their medications.
So in light of my great epiphany, I am going to highlight a different pharmacy in our database each week that has met and exceeded the expectations of our customers, starting this week with Online Pharmacies Canada.
Online Pharmacies Canada has filled many prescriptions for our customers and we have never had a single complaint filed. Online Pharmacies Canada has a 3.5/5 star rating in our pharmacy rating system, and here are some of the things our members are saying about them:
Hello, I have recently received my medication order from Online Pharmacies Canada. I wanted to share that I had a wonderful experience. I was very reluctant at first but I was very satisfied with them. The customer service agent was very knowledgeable and helpful. Mostly importantly, I received my medication in the time line they said. It saved me time and money. I will be placing my next medication order with them as well.
I really have to give an excellent rating to the communication I received. There were problems with the shipping, but they explained why it took 3 weeks. You can trust them, I was a little leery, but I read other people’s reviews, and now I can tell other people this is a company you can trust.
They are very quick about returning email questions. Delivery was spot on the day they said it would arrive. I would like to say thank you and you’re the best!
Like all the licensed Canadian pharmacies listed within the eDrugSearch.com database, Online Canadian Pharmacies is fully licensed and certified from all major pharmacy accreditation sources and protects its customer’s information with McAfee secure and GeoTrust. Online Canadian Pharmacies has been satisfying customers for over 5 years now and has become a leader in the industry by offering quality medications and superb customer service.
Thanks Online Canadian Pharmacies and keep up the great work. We here at eDrugSearch.com appreciate the way in which you do business, and how you treat your customers. Your customers are our customers, and it makes our job much easier when customers are happy with the service and products they are purchasing.
As I stated earlier, Online Canadian Pharmacies is just one of the great licensed online and mail-order pharmacies in our database that are safe, verified, and affordable.
Purchasing pharmaceutical drugs has changed dramatically over the last few years due to the emergence of the online Canadian pharmacy. An overwhelming amount of people are utilizing such websites in order to purchase their much need medications. As opposed to the USA, Canadian prices for drugs are much lower, and the availability of many drugs is not as scarce as in their American counterparts. Because of this, Canadian pharmacies have made headway in establishing themselves as regional leaders in the online pharmacy industry. In addition to the lower prices, the ordering process is quite easy, and the shipping costs are reasonable, which only helps to add to the appeal of ordering from a licensed Canadian pharmacy.
Internet Trends In The Medical Industry
All over the world, the internet is being used by regular people searching for solutions to their medical ailments. With the high price of drugs these days, people are looking for answers to:
- Healthcare Solutions
- Information on Maladies
- Symptoms
- Treatment
- Pharmaceutical Solutions
- Low-cost Drugs
Naturally, due to the boom in online commerce, consumers are now looking online for answers to their medical problems and prescription needs. In many countries, it can be difficult to find easy access to low-cost generic drugs. With an online pharmacy, these drugs are readily available at affordable prices. The same drugs at the corner pharmacy vs. the Canadian online counterpart are available at a fraction of the cost.
Financial Benefits
An online pharmacy can offer nearly 80% discounts when compared to other options. Due to these deep discounts, these online pharmacies are growing more and more popular. Naturally, the amount a particular product is discounted depends on the particular item ordered. First time customers are generally offered a nice discount, and in addition, shipping and handling is free with some sites.
Other Services Provided and How Orders Are Processed
When a customer orders from an online Canadian pharmacy, an actual pharmacist reviews the order and fills it. Upon review, the pharmacist may offer additional advice concerning the order, in he/she deems it necessary. This could include recommending other solutions ideal to treating a particular ailment. Once the pharmacist approves the order, it is generally shipped to the customer within 2 weeks after the order is placed.
In Conclusion
While buying pharmaceutical drugs in the USA can get quite expensive, an online Canadian pharmacy is certainly a viable alternative. This is because pharmaceutical companies charge more to the USA for their products than they do for other countries. Because of this, the online Canadian pharmacy industry will grow even more in popularity as more learn about the savings and conveniences offered.

A new report by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASA) underscores the results of other recent online pharmacy studies – showing that’s it’s too easy to buy prescription drugs, including controlled substances, without a prescription online.
Only 15 percent of 365 sites examined in the study required a prescription. According to Reuters, CASA recommends that the United States negotiate treaties with other governments to shut down illegal Internet trafficking of prescription drugs.
In April, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that included tougher regulation for online pharmacies — but the legislation is still awaiting action in the House.
You can download the CASA report here.
