Nothing but good experiences with this OP. But last order for Soma came in un marked baggies, not traditional bottles. I trust this OP and the baggie is not a problem for me. However if the package was torn open in transit this might look very suspicious. Should I suggest I prefer traditional bottles or am I over reacting. The flat baggie package was very descrete but the bottles weren't that obvious either. If opened by UPS the marked bottles might go through. Unmarked baggies might raise some eyebrows. What are your thoughts?

I sure would complain. Quality of packaging is not an issue, since they remail from within the US. However, they have a very good reputation for quality of meds, and they will loose it quickly if they start shipping in unmarked baggies as opposed to sealed bottles/blisters.

I replied yesterday to a similar post somewhere around here. NO YOU ARE NOT OVER REACTING!!!! No IOP, however well-intentioned, should be sending baggies full of unidtentified pills in the mail!!!! Haven't they heard of those little prescription bottles?
I mean how hard would it be to package loose meds properly, so as not to VIRTUALLY INVITE scrutiny from our friends in the DEA and the snoops that patrol both the postal service and the courier services? Healtylifemeds, as I understand it, manages to ship their foreign manufactured meds from a domestic location, so there is little chance of a customs seizure. But lots of other agencies besides Customs have their beady little eyes on the contents of the packages we send and receive.
I have received meds packaged this way several times from IOP's, and it really gets my goat. I do want to say, however, that I have never received meds from healthylifemeds packaged like that. They have always sent me blisterpacked, fresh, name brand (but foreign manufactured) meds, at reasonable prices, sent discretely via courier.
I would complain LOUDLY if an IOP I have grown to trust with my repeat business suddenly started to send my orders in the form of baggies full of loose pills!

Thanks for your replies. BTW... You did see this post before. I just couldn't find it where I thought I posted it ...thought it was deleated, so I re posted.
I'll e-mail them. THey are a good OP, I'm glad its not typical for them. The baggies could appear sort of illicit
if opened accidently.

Well, after a year of singing their praises, I too have received suspect pills in frightening packaging. The bottles were not sealed, and instead of cotton as a plug, it was plugged with HIGHLY SCENTED TOILET PAPER !!!! Also, the pills were white, with NO markings on them. I'm really upset, and refuse to even think of trying these. I wrote a strong e-mail, and will let you know what happens. Looks like I'll have to do a chargeback, if they don't replace these. Not good, folks.

I know what you mean. I've got 60 clear, unmarked capsules sitting here that I payed $200 for that I wouldn't even think of taking and it p*ss*s me off to no end. I didn't get them from HLM though.

Since I will probably get an unsatisfactory response from HLM, can someone tell me how to do a chargeback from paypal? Have never had to do this, and have no idea how. BTW, they always answer my e-mails within a few hours---not this time, though! Help with instructions would be appreciated. Thanks

To Gl5505,
Do your own research, but if you ordered Soma, and it was imprinted with something that looks like a tree (if you use your imagination) or if imprinted with MP 58, they are the real deal. I trust HLM,... I tasted them first and nothing tastes like SOMA so, being fairly sure based on my sensory perception, I tried them and all was fine. Still didn't like the packaging. Still...Your call on taking them.

I ordered some xanax from destiny one time when they had their brand name on sale and it came in a little bag. It was brand name and purple, I have only seen blue before, and I didn't mind, they worked great. If it's that big of deal just go to your local pharmacy and buy a prescription pill bottle if it makes you feel like you're doing something wrong just because they're in a bag. Please don't take offense to this, just a thought that customs could care less what your drugs are packeged in, just that your breaking their crappy law.

gl5505,
I got a similar unsealed bottle that was stuffed with tissue recently. I assumed they did it to keep the pills from rattling around during shipment. the medication was from mexico, genetica lab was the manufacturer, same white scored tablets that lacked any imprints. if you don't mind,did your tablets come from the same manufacturer? I found the website for this lab and tried to contact via webmail & email but all mail was returned undelivered, and the catalog & search function on the website do not list the medication. It looks real funny to me also but I have not contacted HLM yet becasue I'd like to know if this genetica labs really did manufacturer this tablet in this way before I do.  b5t3

b5t3--LOL, I used to live in Cocoa beach! I have ordered Soma before from them, and the bottles were always sealed, and had cotton inside, not unsealed and stuffed with scented toilet tissue! I think we got conterfeit pills.--no markings,very unlike my past experience with them--I think they are overwhelmed, and aren't checking the stuff coming from Mexico. I ordered medication for my asthma, and am not going to risk killing myself. I'm finished with them unless they fix this. { good old Ron Jons!}

Yep, b523 we got the same thing! The Prednisone came from Gentica labs, and unless you ordered Prednisone for asthma, we have been s%%%%%%%%d! I have just initiated a charge back. Plain small white pills, scored, with NO markings. A pharmacist friend told me they are "worthless". Don't know what is going on there, but I will not order again. My order was placed mid-January, and received on 2/4. I can do better elsewhere, but I'm pretty disapointed in them right now.

I've only ordered Rit from them, always comes in 6 foiled factory packs that are then placed in a ziplip bag, very nicely packaged always with tracking numbers...
