I have gotten twenty or more spam messages for a company called "Your Online Chemist". At least that is where the link takes you when you click on it. (My firewall and AntiVirus are all updated). It says they sell Asian generics for US brands and take most credit cards. They list generic Zyrtec at 120 tablets for $50. I am currently paying $50 for 72 good generics from Canada. Does anyone know anything about this email and if this is a real company or if I am just going to expose my credit card to problems? Thanks for your advice and experience!

Do you have the exact URL???
If you want Zyrtec have you tried Importedmeds.com, might be worth your time to check the prices.

The URL from the spam message that goes to Your Online Chemist is: http://we've:[email protected]/products.php As you will see they list lots of stuff, but I don't quite know if it is legit or a scam for credit cards.

Sub,
It appears over the past 2 weeks that several Asia firms are trying to break into the US med market YOC being the most recent that has been brought to my attention.
Ive never seen, nor done business with this site. Everything looks to be in order, and they are not selling things that would stink of a scam. Im not sure how competitive there prices are on Zyrtec, but other meds I had seen were ok priced but could still be found cheeper elseware.
If your not willing to be the first then maybe you should try another pharacy.
Also most CC companys offer at least a thirty day period where you can dispute a charge, so most people feel comfortable using a cc, having some type of recourse if scamed.

sub,
ImportedDrugs.com 10mg Zyrtec .24 a pill or $24.00 for 100. Of corse there is shipping and a small med pack fee, but this might be a better option for you. You may even want to consider NZ or AUS pharms as I believe they also carry this med.

Drew,
Thanks for the info and analysis. I appreciate your finding the Zyrtec cheaper than I had found! I take it daily and my doctor is fine with me getting the generic from Canada (Stanley brand) as it works just fine and the name brand in the US is just too expensive without insurance for prescriptions.

Another thing to consider when using "asian" pharms, is that they're more likely to be scrutinized more closely by customs....
