YouDrugstore.com Review: Seem Legit But There Are Some Issues

Domain Info

The WhoIs domain information reveals that YouDrugstore.com has been operating for over 8 years. It was registered in 2010 and will not expire until 2023. Most rogue online pharmacies aren’t able to stay active this long so the business seems reliable.

Regretfully, little is known about the website’s owner because they are using a privacy service to hide their contact details. This fact is very concerning. From this, I can’t be sure that this online pharmacy is Canada-based. The address mentioned on the website is Manitoba, Canada, but the further check has revealed that their IP address (5.134.119.101) is located in Madrid, which means the business may be operated from Spain. Another thing that worries me is that the domain had 9 changes on 9 unique IP addresses over 9 years. These are usually signs of scam pharmacies and you should keep it in mind.

Products and Pricing

You Drugstore offers a fairly wide range of medication for various diseases, however, their favorite products are men’s health drugs. They mostly sell generic drugs. According to the website, they supply their products from Canada.

Here you can buy drugs for almost every condition, including:

• Arthritis;
• Allergies;
• Diabetes;
• Heart Disease;
• Cold and flu;
• Sleep aids;
• Skincare;
• Pain relief;
• High blood pressure;
• High cholesterol, and others.

In addition, the website has a separate page displaying all of the prescription drugs available.

Their bestsellers are advertised on the front page:

Other popular medications include Celebrex, Crestor, Levitra, Spiriva, Zetia, Advair, Abilify, Januvia, Asacol, Vivelle-Dot, Vagifem, Flovent HFA, Entocort, Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Symbicort, Benicar, Premarin, Synthroid, Propecia, Pristiq, Nexium, Restasis, Bystolic, Atacand, Accupril, AcipHex, Aggrenox, Alphagan, Lipitor, Zithromax, Chantix, Combivent, Daliresp, Dexilant, Diovan, Diovan HCT, Effient, Aventyl, Linessa.

They say you can save up to 50% when you buy your medication from YouDrugstore instead of your local drugstore. Since they mostly sell generic drugs, it’s possible to save even more. For example, buying generic Clopidogrel instead of branded Plavix will save you about $70.

However, I noticed that the prices offered by You Drugstore are high enough. For example, one tablet of generic Viagra 25 mg costs at least $1.14 (provided that you are ordering 88 pills at once). One pill of branded Viagra costs at least $15 per pill. Many online pharmacies offer much more competitive prices. You can certainly find cheaper options.

If you still decide to order meds through this website, you can also save $35 on your prescriptions through a refer your friend program (the discount will be available during your next order).

Payment and Shipping

The pharmacy ships products using standard or express shipping methods. If you are using the standard option, every order reaching or exceeding $100 will be sent for free. Shipping of orders below the value of $100 will cost you $15. Standard shipping packages should arrive anywhere between 5 and 10 days. A customer can track such orders.

The alternative method is express delivery. The scheme is the same here: if your total order amount reaches $100, the goods will be shipped for free. Otherwise, you will have to pay a $25. A package should arrive between 3 and 5 days. Such parcels can also be tracked.

The company also mentions that if the ordered products need special packaging, a customer will have to pay an additional $25 for the packaging.

If you are not satisfied with the order, there is a possibility to return the goods within 90 days. You will need to send the package back to the pharmacy and they will give you a refund.

If you are wondering which payment methods they accept, the choice is very limited. You can only pay using Visa and MasterCard.

Legal Approvals

YouDrugstore.com seems a legit pharmacy. I found out that they are part of the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA), a reliable association of licensed retail pharmacies.

Another certification is from the Manitoba International Pharmacists Association, an association of licensed pharmacists. They’re also registered with PharmacyChecker.com, an independent organization that verifies pharmacies.

Finally, the company is found on the site of the Better Business Bureau. They have an A+ rating there.

LegitScript, however, is not satisfied with this website and claims that it is unapproved:

Safety

The website is protected by a 256 SSL encryption, verified by Let’s Encrypt. This protects users against identity theft and credit card fraud. Your personal information is secured from unauthorized access or disclosure.

The website is also protected by McAfee, which is another good sign. This means your computer or smartphone is unlikely to be damaged by malware and viruses.

I conclude that You Drugstore is regulated but I would not order meds from this pharmacy because there is a mixup with their real location.
