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
So my Jagdish order broken into three parcels came in. The order itself was just under $1K, and the dates were as follows:
1)ordered November 22, 2025
2)first parcel dispatched November 28, 2025 - received into my hands December 10, 2025
3)second parcel dispatched December 1, 2025 - very strange path - somehow first was sent to somewhere in the UK, and after a long circuitous path, I received it into my hands (actually my wife received it) December 26, 2025
4)third parcel dispatched December 5, 2025 - received into my hands December 13, 2025
None of the packages were opened, and I think it went pretty smoothly except that second parcel. Jagdish continues to be a good vendor and lucky with customs - so far. YMMV.
I have also placed an order with a different vendor whom I have worked with in the past and whom I like very much, but I placed the order on December 6, 2025, shipped December 9, 2025 and on December 17 it was “Inbound into Customs” and has been stuck there ever since. I’m sort of thinking it’s a goner - but it was a relatively small order (under $300), and now irrelevant since it was some meds I wanted for immediately after my ACDF surgery, and at this point the surgery is done, so I no longer need those meds. Oh well. If I lose this shipment, it will be the first package I lose to customs.

Are there any sellers who do take CC that you’ve been happy with for price and efficiency?
Nope. There used to be one, but he stopped accepting during last month or so. I’m sure if you ask many in indiamart you’ll probably find someone, but I stick with ones I like regardless of payment method.

Ok—ty! I guess I’ll have to get used to wire transfer.`
Most accept Wise and it is way cheaper than bank transfer. With my bank it’s $40, with Wise about $7-8

I used Jagdish /RL Pharma for my most recent order. The order spanned the Christmas holiday so there was a slight delay in fulfillment. Four days after Wise transferred the funds to RL Pharma, I received a picture of the package and the EMS tracking number. Jagdish said he would post tracking updates frequently.
It is a pain to set up and you must provide more personal information than I would prefer but I like Wise’s features. When you put a recipient’s name and bank numbers into their system, they are checked for concordance and the legitimacy of the company. If their system detected problems, you would be cautioned not to proceed. Even with that matching, the Wise system issued a warning to the effect that I had a chance of losing my money with payment to India. It was a relatively small order which I am posting here in case it is helpful to someone. Wise’s fee was less than two dollars. I did not see a separate break-out for a tariff.
