What is $ per RAPA with them usually?
My first order came toā¦
2 packs (100 x 1mg) : $200
EMS shipping: $45
PayPal fee: $10
Total: $255
They are no longer using PayPal. And I negotiated to waive the shipping fee with a larger second order.

Welcome Healthcare offers free shipping and Wise fees on orders over 500 tablets of Rapamycin/Sirolimus to US addresses. They charge $100 USD for 100 tablets (1mg). They also offer to resend the shipment if by chance an order gets stopped by US Customs. If interested, you can email dipesh.chhajed@gmail.com.
Iāve placed a large order with them via Wise. Iāll update the forum with how it all goes.

Re: payment methods to Indian suppliers, I have had good success using my account with OFX Inc. I opened it a few years back enabling me to transter funds from my US bank to my UK bank to buy a property.
Excellent exchange rate and no fees. Funds go into Forvedaās bank in INR Rupees and they get it all and are happy with the exchange rate. They get the money in about 1 week.

This company / website?
A week to transfer money is a long time. (to my thinking)

As much as I have had some difficulties over my past use of Wise, I now have learned the ropes and it is very fast and cheap to transfer money to Indian vendors. The transfer fee on my last transaction was $1.90, which amounts to 1.1% of the transaction. This is a lower fee than you would be charged if you used a credit card or PayPal. I have tried some of the other money transfer companies and I keep coming back to Wise. Two transfer companies actually cancelled my account when I tried to transfer money to Niba, they didnāt actually give me a reason other than on the list of reasons that they may cancel your account was money laundering and fraud.

Did you do an ACH, or a transfer. Tried twice yesterday and it didnāt work for me. Disgusting BOF charges $45 per transfer.
I always use ACH my bank/credit union does not charge for an ACH transfer.
Interesting, because I thought the guys in India specify it to be a transfer, and that is what i tried. I wasnāt sure if ACH is not what they accept, or perhaps their bank would charge them a fee with ACH. Iāll note it for next shipment, thanks.
Wise initiates the ACH transfer from my bank and deposits the converted currency into an Indian bank account. When you set up a Wise account you set up the default method of payment. You can always change it for any individual transaction.

Hi Hitch, Iām in Seattle too (Kirkland). Iām new to the site and to Indiamart, but I was going to try to contact the person you had good luck with (Vallabh Enterprise/Shreeji ImpexMaulik). Do you mind explaining how you contacted that person/company? Indiamart messaging asks you to post requirements to receive quotes but did not see a way to reach out to them specifically. Apologies for the basic question. Thank you!
Just go to these companyās websites and contact them directly - skip Indiamart entirely. Indiamart just floods you with spam if you work through themā¦

Thanks for your help with ordering! Jadish quoted me 101 USD. Do I add the wise fee and ach fee to the amount I pay Jadish? .34 to ach and 1.34 to wise. First time, obviously.
Yes, you must add the Wise fees, otherwise, Jagdish will receive less than the price he quoted you.
Also, I might add, that Wise will tell you that the amount transferred is done, even though the amount has not been removed from your ACH bank account or deposited in Jadishās account. Be patient it will take a few days before the money has been deposited in Jagdishās bank account. You can tell by looking at your own account and see when the money has actually been withdrawn.

My bank doesnāt charge for ach transfer however wise says 34cents Ach charge. Does that seem right? Not much. And not complaining.
I need your help. Wise is asking me to verify recipient etc because it could be a scam. Is Lashkaribagh part of the address or part of the city? Appreciate your help.
Everything was easy until they asked me to verify recipient. So I was just trying to figure out what went wrong and hence the city question. I was on the PEARL trial and now that Iām off want to order from India.
Iāve bought from Jagdish 3 times with no problem. Yes, he says heāll provide updates but that does not happen. I think that is an auto-response message when they receive the money. I track it myself. I was a little nervous on this last order because I ordered 200 rapamycin tablets. The first time I ordered, Jagdish didnāt want me to exceed 100 tablets because of the possibility that customs might get involved.
