As @desertshores reported about Maulik a few months ago, a forum member got their shipment but then they disputed the charge with their credit card company…
I’ll venture a guess this might have, justifiably, contributed to his reason to stop taking cc’s. That is unfortunate becasue it made everyone’s life much easier.
Ah I wasn’t aware of that. Other than the credit card thing I still like dealing with him.
He is still taking mine. Perhaps he just doesn’t want to do business with some people.
With some people there is a hassle over every business transaction. As far as I know, he is still taking credit cards and has been a very cost-effective and reliable supplier for me.
My transactions with him are by email only, and the transactions require minimal effort.
I too like doing business with a credit card vs. WISE or bank transfers.
He literally took my card in October, but yesterday he said they are not taking cards any longer. So, unless you had an order in last week or so, maybe he wouldn’t take yours either. Just saying, but I agree it was such a breeze paying with cards.
I just sent him an email for clarification.
I do know that he has had a problem with some customers because they did not recognize the credit card debit.
"We are seeing increasing numbers of customers who have forgotten about their payment to Shreeji Impex for goods, then failing to recognise the payment to FD4CAST when they see it appear on their Credit/Debit card statement which results in them raising a disputed payment with their Credit/Debit card provider.
Jagdishs orders have been seized by customs? Really? That’s disconcerting. Of the 4 packages seized, how many seized packages were from Jagdish and how many from Anil? How many pills were in each package?
It was originally one order from each but they sent replacements and replacements were seized also. They were all in the spring of 2025. The orders were small. Actually, all had LDN as main product and then I think some selengiline. Forgot exactly but wasn’t more than 500 pills in any of the orders. I remember the amount for orders was around #115Then, I started using Maulik for first time and all his orders went through 3-4 of them. Have not tried Jagdish nor anil since because I thought they might have registered them in the system or something.
As I recall I did have one more order lost/seized from Anil even prior to 2025, I think early 2024 or late 2023.
Initially, I thought I was doxed and I won’t be able to get any [packages from India, but since the ones from Maulik arrived with no issues, I guess I’m still ok.
How many pills did you order from Maulik?
about same amount but don’t recall exactly. My orders are always $100-200 and 300-600 pills. I don’t know if it matters but the only difference I noticed (in packaging) from Maulik was he tapes the whole box few times over which makes opening the box a bit of a chore, (if the person inspecting it is a lazy guy lol)

"Yes, it’s correct that we are not accepting card payment at a moment, but will let all know when we restart accepting that mode of payment.
We are still accepting payment through
1)Bank transfer
2)Wise (formerly transferwise)"
I can deal with Wise, though sometimes it makes you jump through hoops.
Wondering if US folks can comment on success with shipping from Niba?
I have an RX (looking @ SGLT2) - but currently they only go via Fedex. For those that were successful, what was the process like? Do I send the RX to Niba? To Fedex? TIA 
You don’t need a prescription for any of the India pharmacies we are talking about in this thread. All the companies in this thread are ones that people have used successfully - I’ve used NIBA in the past, no issues. Not sure how they are doing post Tariffs. It’s been years since I used them. I always get quotes from a number of vendors, and choose the one that works best for me. Ask about shipment success rates, shipping fees, etc.
Got it - one of the Niba reps told me they’re not currently using EMS so Fedex is the only option (which I think requires an prescription?)
Ah yes - now I understand. Yes - I’m pretty sure Fedex requires a prescription. Other Indian vendors are not necessarily avoiding EMS or IndiaPost. Not sure why. I’ve had no issues with deliveries from other vendors using regular post. I’d recommend you contact some other vendors.
Super helpful - thank you
