IOPs are, generally, rediculously easy to use. Personally I detest having to use Western Union & don't use ops that only accept them, as I prefer to just use VISA and if there's a problem I can just dispute the charges. I'm sorry you've had such bad luck just as you're starting, because I can honestly say that in a decade or more of ordering through IOPs, I have had no more than 2 med seizures and 2 go out of business after i'd paid with VISA but before they shipped. So I contacted VISA, told them I paid for a product that wasn't delivered, and after filling out a very short and generalized dispute-form, I had my money recredited (for the not-shipped meds, not the seized ones. Those I faxed the customs letter to the IOP and they successfully reshipped so no problemo). Fear not using IOPs, just do a lot of reading on this board, other pharmacy boards , usenet, and friends. with that kind of help/support it's pretty hard to mess up.

Good luck!
