Step-by-Step Guide

  1.  Identify the Medicine You Need

    Check your prescriptions and make a list of the medicines you need.  You will want to understand your costs. ie your copay.  Ensure that the medicines are available in India and check for any alternatives if needed.  Some medicines are not available from India yet.  Many are, you need will to ask vendors about availability.
      Choose a Reliable Pharmacy

  2. "Look for reputable online pharmacies" or stores based in India. We have a list  Click here --->   (KNOWN VENDORS LIST) These are vendors we have used . Select a vendor by supported payment method.(Pay attention here  unlike Amazon, you need to figure out how to get your money to the vendor so they will ship the product you want to buy.)  Essentially there are a few ways.  Use a money transfer application/service like Wise.com or Xe.com.  Use Paypal, or use bitcoin.    Most US resident have some familiarity with PayPal.   Learning to use a money transfer program will give you the most vendor options.    Bitcoin can be purchased from some platforms like Cashapp.

  3.  Verify the Medicine's Authenticity

    "Ensure the pharmacy provides genuine medicines."  For the vendors listed here we have never had any issues with quality of medicines. You will want to ask about medicine shelf life and expiration dates in passing. Typically a 6 month order should not have an issues with drug expiration dates.  Do you want Brand Name or Generic?  Xarelto and Eliquis don't have a generic in the US marketplace.  In India, Canada and Mexico there is a generic.  From India the generic option is less than 10 cents a tablet for both of these medicines. 

  4.  Place Your Order

    Contact the vendor via their email or whatsapps number with the details of your medicines, quantities and delivery address. Ask for a price quote. Provide any necessary prescription documents if required.  Most of the time this is not requested.    I suspect this is because not many people abuse the boring diabetes medicines. 

  5.  Payment

    Select a vendor by supported payment method. Net banking(Wise.com or Xe.com), Paypal or Bitcoin. In the olden days we all had Paypal.  Europeans have been using this bank to bank transfer stuff while some of us still write checks.   Xe.com/ wise.com/ remittly.com allow you to pay someone directly into their bank account. This is the preferred payment method of the Indian vendors. The vendors who take paypal charge a bit more for their products, or request more money to make up for the transfer fees. The bitcoin vendors, can take direct payment in bitcoin.    If you use cashapp, you can send bitcoin with that after watching a youtube video on the process, of buying and sending bitcoin on cashapp.

  6.  Track Your Order

    After placing the order, you will receive a tracking number. Use this to track the status of your shipment Tracking numbers from the Indian postal system can be tracked by either the US Post office or The Indian Post office website. Indian Consigment tracking will give better detail of your parcels transit in India and it's arrival at the JFK postal sorting facility. The US Postal Service website is better for the US portion of the packages travel.

  7. 7. Receive and Verify Your Medicine

    Upon receiving the package, check that you have received the correct medicines and that they are in good condition.
