I received a second order from Jagdish. Again, fast and not delayed stateside by an opening inspection. In contrast to pre-tariff orders, which were shipped in papier mailers taped on the ends, both of these packages was heavily wrapped with tape covering all paper surfaces. The taping was so extensive that it was difficult to open the packages. There may be something to the idea that customs doesn’t want the hassle.

Why sign in? I use IndiaMART to see if a particular drug is widely available and get a general idea of what the prices are. Then I ask my favorite supplier for a quote.
Signing in to IndiaMart is signing in to spam central.

Exactly. I only use IndiaMart to check availability and price, but never sign in and have no account. I only deal with individual vendors and only through email. IndiaMart inserts itself between you and the vendor, is a usability nightmare and a spam machine. Always deal with the vendor directly.

I requested to work by email/message only. With one seller that has meant emailing, and with a couple of others, it ended up meaning messaging on indiamart. I’ve not had a problem with it until now.
For most of the indiamart vendors, Whatsapp is the preferred means of communication. I only use that now

Yeah, and I’d prefer email to all of the above. But whatever the case is, the purchase I made is only tied to the India Mart messaging system.
I’ve been buying Rapacan through Monarch Consortium on Indiamart. $0.55 USD per mg. Shipping: $30. Payment through Wise. Shipping has been prompt each time.
Another good source is Maulik Parekh, maulik7@gmail.com $0.50 mg.
300, Biocon (Rapacan) Sirolimus, 1 mg tablets - 150$
He charges $30 for shipping and takes Visa.

Maulik is great, but Fyi, I think he is only taking credit cards from you (or maybe some select others). I’m a repeat customer, and last week he said he was not taking them so I had to pay in a different way

Weird, I received this message a few days ago and just placed an order with my credit card.
" Hope you are doing well
Just an important update
We are accepting card payment again from now onwards."

My Laxminarayan order arrived.
There had been a pretty significant communication hiccup right before it shipped that had me concerned, but in the end, all was exactly as described with some extras of one product thrown in! The outside was neatly wrapped in decorative wrapping paper, and the medications on the inside were sealed as a whole in aluminum foil—smart wrapping. I paid with remitly (which I happened to still have a very old membership login for) to a family account.
I was also in communication with Maulik, and I felt like he was trying to go out of his way for me—to get more medications in stock, to look into reopening credit card payment (as this thread now indicates he has), etc. I told him that I would speak highly of him here and strongly consider his services in the future depending on which prescriptions I need.

My 13th package in last three months being delivered today. Zero problems with customs or tariffs. And this one was a pretty big order, over 1500 pills and over $500. I was emboldened by the fact that had no issues so took the risk and made a big order. My other orders were between $150 to $250 and 500-600 pills.
