I have seen many positive as well as negative posts about this site. I have corresponded w/"Raj" and have been assured that past problems have been resolved and that he will resume taking orders in a few days. I have never ordered from OS4U in the past; I am wondering if you DB'ers who have used this service before can comment on the "quality" of meds offered on site - especially those in the Benz family. He states that he carries generics;would like more details on "brand" or where manufactured/which lab etc., as well as overall quality. His prices are good, but cheap meds are no bargain if they are not effective... Feel free to PM me if uncomfortable posting details on the board. Thanks... - Tripp

Tripp, Just a head's up on OS4U and Raj...I'm still hearing some negative feedback on this guy and also hearing that his website is down. Everything I have read about this guy, and his customers, has always been good, but lately the word has not been good.
Just be careful, don't want to see ya get hurt

Sorry if the tone of this is a bit mean-sounding, but reading the same stuff over and over gets old pretty darned quickly.
For example: An OP's Web site is down for technical reasons. They stop taking orders because they are overwhelmed. People expect to get things in exactly X - 3 days and don't and freak out and start screaming they've been ripped off. Customs seizes packages. Orders get lost or messed up.
All these things happen with OPs, and all are things that have happened with this OP and Raj. Not a single one should be taken seriously, because they are not negative, they are simply reality.
His site's down right now because they're overwhelmed with orders. They'll screw some up because they're rushing to fill them. Customs will seize some, and in many cases Raj will do his best to make up for that. That's the reality. I've yet to have a bad experience with this OP or see a truly negative report that wasn't one of the things I described above.
We're all dealing with OPs and U.S. Customs, whose job is to make sure they still have jobs in a world where borders are becoming less and less meaningful. Your packages might get seized or might take many months to finally arrive. The best thing to do is either accept and live with that reality, and don't spend a lot of time complaining on this site, or don't bother ordering.
My two cents circa 1970 dollars. Again, let me state that this particular OP has a stellar track record and I've yet to have or hear of a complaint that wasn't easily explained by the realities above. Ditto for a few others: Pharma24, Access-Meds, Interpharm. They're all good people doing the best job they can.
Peace, Wolf

First -- Excellent post Timberwolf, really sums up my feelings on this gray market.
Second -- *Tripp* IMO the best Benz to order from OLS4U or almost any other IOP is Rivotril (aka Klonopin aka Clonazepam) -- this is a long half-life benzo with fewer "addictive" properties. For some reason the more popular benzos from IOP's like Xanax and Valium seem to be (perceived as?) lower quality than US equivalents.
In the case of OLS4U, the storage temperatures are probably very hot and air-conditioning scarce, so (some) benzos may break down more quickly than in air-conditioned warehouses in US. Perhaps the chemical structure of Rivotril withstands heat and humidity better than Xanax or Valium? Pure speculation on my part.

HE/SHE WILL BE BACK. I HAVE FAITH ( BACKED BY ALOT OF PAST BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH THEM) RAJ HAS ALWAYS COME THRU FOR ME IN THE PAST AND I WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO ORDER WHEN HE AGAIN STARTS SHIPPING!

I see your point of view. But when I placed a 400.00 order because I had great service in the past, and then up until 5 days ago couldn't get a reponse as to what was up.And It has been 10 weeks. When every other order has gotten to me in a timely manner. And if it hasn't you get a quick response. Then to have no answer what so ever. It isn't like he sent out an e-mail telling all these people that ordered from him from the first of June on what was going on. I know that things happen as to shipping customs lost orders etc.But for you to say people that are complaining and trying to find out what other people are going through just want there orders in 3 days and if they don't freak out and scream they were ripped off in my opinion is wrong.It would be different if he would have responded to the e-mails or put a auto response as to what was going on and I think alot of people would have been fine with that and waited.When you go from answering e-mails within 24 hours and then none for several weeks it does look bad.

I have no doubt that "Raj" will indeed be back & provide what has been previously reported as excellent service... That is why I am considering placing a future order w/OS4U.
Back to what was my original question - Since I have never placed order w/ "RAj", I would like some information from people that have received meds from him in the past & would like to know how the "quality" is, where (or by whom) his generics are made, etc. I am not questioning his reputation, I just want to know (before I place an order) if his products are good (how good?) & where they come from. There are many IOP's out there w/ competitive prices and reputations for reliable delivery and good customer service. Just trying to make an informed decision... Like I said in my original post, cheap meds that are not effective are no bargain. Please post qualitative information; I have read enough posts about "Raj"'s character to form my own opinion in that area. Thanks...- Tripp
P.S. - " Plotinus "- Thank you for your input, thats the kind of info I am looking for!

I guess I feel that just happens some times. It's happened to me on Ebay (where I've been ripped off.) It's happened to me from online stores (where I've been ripped off.) It's happened to me trading stuff online (yes, ripped off.)
So I'm not trying to make you feel bad, I'm trying to say it comes with the territory. The Internet makes a lot of cool things possible. It also opens up new avenue for con artists and types like that.

That would be one of my points. It's all about expectations. I set mine at 3 months before I even think to try and contact an OP, and 6 months before I start to think about complaining to them or posting negative feedback here.
So my point is that 10 weeks isn't much - you just got used to getting them a lot sooner, but need to readjust your expectations because you were just lucky before. Does that make sense?

Actually, if you go to the site you'll see a message there. If they're having technical difficulties, maybe they can't send out email at all? I mean, again you have expectations of what they can do, and maybe they can't.
I lost one order ever from an Indian OP because they got shut down. It's like buying a product with a 10-year warranty and it breaks two years later but you find the company is out of business. Some times you just grin and bear it, y'know?
I'm sure if they were able to send out email, they would. For now, you'll have to go to the website and read what's there.

If you've been reading this board for as long as some of us have, you'll change your mind about that. I am sorry if it seemed like I was saying that was your case, I was talking about what we see here all the time. There are a lot of people who over-react and get shill here. Didn't mean to make it seem like you were one of them, sorry.

Sure, but again, maybe he can't. Or maybe his priorities are to clear up whatever the problems are and get them solved, rather than worry about communicating right now.
Just my view point. Like I said, just two cents. Wolf

I don't know if you were around when Speedy went under, but they were an IOP with a long history and stellar reputation that suddenly closed down, leaving untold numbers of customers left without meds shipped, or refunds issued. The same thing happened a few years back when four Indian pharms (all with great reputations) suddenly were shut down, with the same outcome. If you had been on the receiving end of one of these events, you might be posting differently. That being said, I have done a good deal of business with Raj in the past, and hopefully things will be worked out. As far as the quality of the benzos go, he must store them in 100+ degree heat, because I have had Alprax from other IOP's that was excellent quality, while his has always been terribly weak. The generic Valium was a little better though...

Yes, I was. Yes, I lost money. I just accept that as part of the territory. As long as the meds still are cheaper than what I can purchase myself without medical and prescription coverage (I am unemployed) including the cost of lost packages, etc. then I still feel I'm ahead.

I was on the receiving end of one of those closures, and also lost $$$ and an order. Again, my point is that the reailty is that it happens. I choose to accept it as a possibility and reality and not get too worked up over it.

That was my main point, and as I said I am sorry if my post came across as mean. I have faith, but if it doesn't work out, oh well. They go under, customs grabs a package, etc. Some times things just don't work out. My advice is still the same: come to accept that and not sweat it, or don't order from OPs.

My experience has been very much the same. The best Xanax and Valium by far are from Access-Meds. More expensive but worth it.
Again, I am apologising to any one I may have offended, it was intended, I was just trying to inject a dose of reality into what I see as a lot of paranoid over reaction that takes places on these boards. Peace, Wolf

The OLS4U site is now accepting new orders. Anyone receive there past due orders yet? I have used this site and received meds several months ago. I really like Raj and will place an order as soon as I hear some good feedback.

Hi - Same thing is happening to me right now - and I'm feeling very distressed. Actually, thank goodness I ordered a big supply last time and haven't ordered in awhile ... but it was time to reorder as I know it takes about 3 weeks to get here ... but as of now (5 days since payment) I have E-mailed every single day; and no response from Raj about the "status" of my order. He was always prompt and reliable in the past, so this makes me nervous. Please keep me informed if you know what's going on....

I have ordered from OS4U three times and have never had any problems. If only their meds weren't so weak they would be my favorite OP. Still, I highly recommend them.
