I remain pleased with Jagdish. I just placed my third order in the past two months. Each of the first two arrived in less than two weeks, total. Jagdish is also personally responsive in explaining national and local holidays that can affect how quickly he is able to post a package. I’m using Wise. I like the security and global footprint of this company and their rates are insanely low.

Argh, sorry to hear this bicep…
Did they seize all of it, or just dapa?
Good to know there is seemingly an appeals process incase the value was ever high enough to be worth the pain
As I have mentioned before, Maulik uses a different postal service than Jagdish.
My recent orders have been moving through customs very quickly. My last order was received in 10 days from the time of mailing. My current order just cleared customs and is expected to arrive in the next two days.

Well, they have much, much bigger fish to fry than me/someone importing meds for personal use, plus we don’t live in USSR where people will be jailed at the will of a comrade LOL. I have zero fear and on top of that when they seized my stuff (which they did couple times in the past) I fought very hard with them (to no avail though) asking them to let my shipment pass. Yeah, trust me they have way bigger things to deal with than to come after us. To put it into context I know someone that some fraudster emptied their bank account to the tune of over $200K and even though he gave them all the info and even some names (he was able to have some convo with the scammers) and it’s been over three years and northing. The person has hired a PI and has been able to identify the whole group and still the FBI wouldn’t give a shit. LOL. so yeah, trust me I sleep very good at night- well, actually let me rephrase that, I sleep very bad but for reasons other than me being worried about importing cheap medication LOL.
What is more of an issue (for anyone) it is probably if they do get in some turbulent waters and they happen to be searched then anything they find they deem illegal they’ll try to nail you for it. They’ll try to find some illegality even if you bought meat at a grocery store LOL. But to get them to come to my home to start with it takes way more than me bragging about stashing medications for later use.

They seize it all, but the whole order has reshipped and is here now.
I haven’t really been working out like normal because of the injury so have not started taking Maraviroc yet. I just restarted Rapa. Feeling great actually now and we’re trying to put in a crop here so very busy.

I’m sorry to hear this. Which vendor did you order this batch from?
Their policy on seized shipments is to reship for half price.

Got a shipment through from India to Japan. Another victory against the regulatory state and intellectual property! Unfortunately I cannot recommend this vendor I found on Indiamart “Alchemist Overseas.” I specifically asked for a quote for Rapacan but they sent me Siroboon. When I asked them about it they denied that they had quoted for Rapacan even though it was in the email clear as day.
I’m excited about the generic semaglutide though. First time trying Acarbose, Tadalafil and Imeglimin too. For reference here was the quote I went with:
| Alchemist Overseas 2026/3/25 | Quantity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Pitavastatin 4 mg | 100 | 40 |
| Bempedoic Acid 180 mg & Ezetimibe 10mg (BEMPETOL-EZ) | 100 | 26 |
| Imeglyn 1000mg | 100 | 15 |
| Rapacan 1 mg | 100 | 40 |
| Sembolic 14 mg | 60 | 168 |
| Arcarbose 50 mg | 100 | 15 |
| Sildenafil 100mg | 60 | 3 |
| Tadalafil 10mg | 60 | 2 |
| Shipping | 25 |
Total $334

Congrats, but yes, substituting a different brand is absolutely a no-no, and then lying about it is an immediate disqualification. The customs thing is a bit of a lottery, and the occasional seizure and loss is just part of the price to pay for participation. I gladly pay it to avoid the hassle of dealing with the medical industry mafia here, not to mention the steep savings. I just hope this route never closes.

I do worry in the long run we will see automated package scanning that will shut down our supplies, it’s probably better to stockpile now and hope we have enough to last us till a libertarian attitude finally takes hold.
I wish it would take hold tomorrow but am afraid won’t happen in my lifetime. I thought they do have automated package scanning already?
I’m not sure and it depends on the country you live in too. But if they had it nothing should get through.
You guys are talking about two different types of scanning… there is bar-code / address scanning (which is in widespread use already) , and there is this idea of x-ray, or medication and drug scanning… and this seems to be minimal and in-effective right now.
Thinking of ordering these, Germini says these are the best brands. Anyone has expericnes with the said brands?
I’ve had experience with all but the “Dr. Reddy’s” brand. They seem ok… but it’s hard to know for sure. The biggest issues that we might run across are going to be impurities, or dosing inaccuracies… which are very hard to identify without testing.
All the companies listed are major Indian pharma, except for the Eisai, and Healing Pharma brands. I try to avoid those, but it’s not always convenient to do so.

Are you aware of any current or batch level Cert. of Authenticity from these manufacturers? The last time I asked for one it was 2 years old. It would seem that providing these would help overcome the pervasive quality concerns by end-users.
No, I have not heard that they would provide anything like this. I would expect that they would not.
Interesting take, and given what we know about behavioral friction, likely true! Maulik also refused to ship packages that are too large. He’ll break them into two shipments.
That is true. And in my own experience the only package that was seized in the last 5 years was a large one. I am certainly willing to pay the extra $30 as a little insurance that I will receive my package. My last order was an amazing 8 days in transit.
While that is a prudent thing to do, I’ve had small packages that were stopped also, and one large one. So, it is hit and mis. The good thing is the ratio of stopped ones is about 5% so in my mind I just see it as adding a 5% premium to already a very deep discounted price knowing that at some point, I’ll lose one or two boxes. Had about $3,500-4000 in 25 boxes come in fine from 11/25 to 02/26 and then had two small ones $110 each stopped in April.
