SilkRoadMeds.com

I'm suffering from depression lately and I've been prescribed some antidepressant medications. For me personally, it turned too difficult going to the doctor’s office each time I have a question or each time I need a prescription. This is why I have become a regular user of online markets, since it significantly facilitates all this stuff with drugs and prescriptions. One of my colleagues has mentioned silkroadmeds.com as being an online pharmacy which can deliver the medications I was searching for. As a highly sceptic person, I usually analyze in detail any site which could potentially offer what I need, with no regard to the type of products (it can refer to household stuff, or drugs, for instance). 

I want to share my opinion regarding silkroadmeds.com, so that other users could make a general impression and could decide for themselves whether is the site suitable for them or not.

Here is what I have understood with this online pharmacy:

First of all, it should be mentioned the fact that the content placed on the site is undoubtedly written by a non-professional person. There are plenty of grammatical mistakes in the texts of the site. When I came across the first mistake, I thought it was just an automatic one. But, when I discovered that the mistakes are regularly made, I realized that, most probably, a person who is not grammatically- educated has put it on the site. Perhaps, an example is required to make myself clearer: “we have two WAY to for money receiving WU/Moneygram”. So, as you can realize, the sentence is completely wrong formulated and the word “way” should be placed in plural form- “ways”. I'm not an English grammar teacher of course, and maybe I don't have the right to criticize this aspect, since I personally do a lot of mistakes while writing. But my question is: how can I consider a company/pharmacy/ or whatever else to be a professionist in its domain if such an insignificant aspect as the grammar is displaced with plenty of mistakes?! So, this was the thirst thing that made me wonder about the professionalism of silkroadmeds.com.

On silkroadmeds.com one can find medications for a large type of health conditions. The list includes the following: antidepressant medications, pain relievers, obesity problems, muscle relaxant, increased cholesterol levels, sleep troubles, increased blood pressure, antibiotics for microbial infections, women and men health , sexual boosters, birth control methods. I have to mention that the list is rather variate. What really surprised me was to find medications as steroids, anti-schizophrenia, nervous system stimulants. Doesn't this kind of drugs require a medical prescription?! They do. But silkroadmeds.com  doesn't need one and it delivers those medications to anyone who “needs” them. In this context I just imagine the following situation: I have a neighbor that is drug dependent. If silkroadmeds.com doesn't require a valid prescription, my neighbor can easily order a Central Nervous System stimulant without being suggested by his physician. And what if he takes more than recommended dose?! What if he misuses the administration?! Who would be responsible for the potential, life threatening side effects?! I have nothing against the pharmacies to ship prescription medications...but at least they should require a valid prescription which would confirm that the person in deed needs one or another drug. When I personally wanted to place an order for my antidepressant medication, I wasn't required to send a medical prescription. This means that I can order the amount that I want and take the drug as I want. But this is not ethically correct. A professional pharmacy should make sure that the delivered drug will not be abused and MuSt require a prescription. 

Moreover, I didn't find any official information on silkroadmeds.com with regard to its authorization of delivering prescription medications. That means that I don't know who manufactures these drugs, how do they do that and whether the manufacturing process is identical to that of authorized pharmacies. 

The drug that I wanted to order costs about 47$ on silkroadmeds.com. I've decided to take the risk and place the order because at that moment this site was the only who had the drug in stock, despite the thousand questions that raised to me while exploring the site. Well, guess what?! My order placing was not successfully accomplished because the minimal order should be equal to 89$. I haven't had such experiences with other online pharmacies. I could even order drugs for 5$ and other pharmacies would be glad to send them to me with the condition to pay the shipping. But with silkroadmeds.com I have to order for 89$ minimum… that is definitely unpleasant for any customer,not only for me. In my modest opinion, silkroadmeds.com should permit the customer to buy the amount of products needed without price restrictions. in case that I remain satisfied with its service,I will gladly buy for 89$ and even more the next times. But how can I order for 90$ without knowing how silkroadmeds.com works?! One surprise more...the shipping is not for free, it is 89$ as well as the minimum order cost. Well, I, personally, am not ready to give 89$ for a shipping in the context that other pharmacies might deliver the order for free, or at least for 20-30$ maximum. 

At a certain moment I thought that if silkroadmeds.com puts such inconvenient conditions for its customers, at least it is able to offer a marvelous loyalty program which could attract and retain the clients. Well, nothing new at this aspect, unfortunately. Standard prices with all products. No offers, no coupons available, no halloween or Xmas promotions. The loyalty program is a real collapse. 

Really, there are so many internet pharmacies that make their best to please their clients. It seems that silkroadmeds.com is not such type of pharmacy. Total lack of professionalism with the site grammar, uncomfortable conditions for purchasing (89$ minimum order and same price for shipping), absolute lack of extra bonuses...what else could I add?! Nothing special to recommend with this site.
