I used PayPal for some of my earliest purchases from India.
This is not the same as a cross-border payment. PayPal didn’t ask and has no way of actually knowing what my purchase is for except in some circumstances after the fact.
I experienced no problems. The reason I discontinued, was because the vendor I was using with PayPal was much more expensive than Jagdish.
I am going to revisit some other vendors accepting PayPal to see if they have competitive pricing.
This pharmacy wants 15% to use paypal or 10% to use a payment link, which is I suppose credit card through indiamart. Still beats bank transfer.
If I remember correctly, I placed the PayPal order to Vishal as a ‘friend or family’.
The total that he needed was $279USD, PayPal added $4.99 for a total of $283.99
I thought friends and family payments were free… I wanted to use PayPal because it is a faster and easier way to pay than Wise IMO…
So just for fun I decided to request a quote from the two sites that members suggested that use PayPal
I just received a quote from one of the recommended sites that accepts PayPal, though he didn’t bother to confirm it.
IndiaMart suppliers
~$24 ~$14.39 ~14.39
As you can see you will pay dearly through the nose for using PayPal.
I will just stick with my usual suspects.
BTW. NIBA/RLHealthcare is asking"

Not to be too rude, but if you are paying these prices you are being flummoxed.
I experienced euphoric fatigue after experimenting with a big dose. I had 5mg and GFJ if I recall correctly. I’m currently on a dose of 2.5mg with GFJ. The GFJ can upset my stomach a bit but I think it could be manageable.
I’ve always found Jagdish to be great vendor - he’s very good on whatapp but not great with email. My last package got to me in the UK despite being thoroughly investigated by customs so that was a pleasant surprise.
I had another good experience with Mr. Sachin of SS Medex. This time, a $250 order of several medications including Biocon Rapacan. Like last time, excellent communication, fast shipping, and good prices. He told me he’ll wake up and respond in the middle of the night to a message, so I’m careful to be mindful of the time.

I also ordered from Jagdish of RL Pharma at the same time. Also a good experience (again), with good communication and fast shipping. I basically split my order between these two vendors.
Their prices are different, but so are their favored brands. I requested specific brands for a few things, but wasn’t specific on others as I like to experiment with different manufacturers.
What are the expiration dates? Also, what is your pricing per box of 100?
Kelsey - just contact him directly via his website. And don’t worry too much about drug expiration dates:

Wanted to update on my last order. It stayed for couple weeks in customs then it showed it cleared but USPS has not been able to locate/find. USPS basically lost my package of meds from India (about $175 in garbage bin). Such a bad organization . They should be dismantled and reorganized. Mad as hell. Lol
I need to make another order soon. Do you still recommend Jagdish at RL Pharma for price and reliability?
My latest order of dec 11 has been in us customs for 6 days. It sat in India customs for 2 weeks. I guess the holidays are slow.
I still think that Jagdish is my most reliable supplier. The only time I don’t use him is if he can’t supply what I am looking for.
@desertshores I agree. Jagdish has always come through for me and my parents. Fast and accurate service.
I’m setting up tazapay and wants “documents” (business registration proof, operating address proof, business shareholding structure) which I don’t have because I’m not a business. Did you just skip all that, and if you do, does it still let you send money?
I am not sure what you are asking. All of the transfer agents require some upfront data.
I use Wise for all of my transfers. Don’t try to second guess the questions Wise asks for transfers. For instance, when it asks the reason, I just pick medicines. It has worked for me so far.
It is not totally intuitive. Just work with the program until you figure it out. Unlike some other transfer agents, Wise will not ban you because of your answers. Wise is probably the cheapest way to send money other than an ACH bank transfer, which can be a pain depending on your bank.
When you set up, Tazapay wants you to do “KYB verification”
Which includes uploading “business documents”.
Did you do all that?
Hi Desert Shores. Made my second order with Jagdish and his email with the invoice said to note new bank details. He sent two with same account numbers but different addresses. Are you familiar? The newer address for me was Sherman complex near mt carmel school, lock mat square. I originally sent to the 345 shreemohini comlex and that was the only address he gave me the first time. Thanks for your help.
Yes, that made it confusing. Thanks for the response. Otherwise when I reached out to him he answered me immediately and that was at 11:30 AM Arizona time. Got the invoice right away. My payment with wise seem to transfer more quickly this time as well.
As I had mentioned earlier USPS has lost my last order. Has anyone of you had a similar experience, and how you dealt with it. Obviously i emailed Anil politely asking for a replacement order, but as is the case with most indian suppliers they go MIA when an issue appears lol. Have not heard from him.
