Self-Introduction of GlobalCareRx.com
GlobalCareRx.com is a Canadian based online pharmacy which, assumingly, is offering medications globally, or at least that’s what I can assume checking its domain address name. Will check if that’s true or not in my review. In fact, they claim to be a Canadian broker which is cooperating with well known and licensed pharmacies that are established in different countries such as India, Canada, UK, Mauritius, Turkey and others. With this being said, the company is correlating the pharmacies with the customers allowing them to purchase high quality drugs as the company is only doing business with the licensed and famous pharmacies for affordable prices. According to the information I managed to find on their main page, the pharmacy is having an exact address shared in Toronto, ON, Canada and checking their copyright information, I can assume the pharmacy is operating for 9 years now as they claim to be online since 2009, however they state: 2009 – 2017 so we are not sure what does 2017 stands for. Hopefully they simply forgot to update the information. As much as I noticed, the pharmacy’s main aim is to provide the customers the highest quality prescription drugs at the lowest possible prices. The website seems to be really well done, it seems to be user friendly and it contains a lot of helpful information for a potential client. Although this pharmacy does claim to require a prescription from a licensed doctor for all the medications that require one, they do not mention the medications are FDA approved and I wonder why. According to the info on the site, the prices are so low that customers are able to save up to 90% by doing business with them and that’s why there’s no need to overpay for medications since you can buy them here and save a lot. Generally, all the claims seem to be pretty good and I hope this is a company that keeps their promises.
Assortment Diversity at Global Care Rx
I think that it is very important for all customers that an online pharmacy to offer all the necessary medications in one place so they won’t need to spend their time searching for different pharmacies with each medication they need. The information on the site is suggesting that they are offering an extremely rich assortment of medications as they are offering both prescription drugs as well as OTC (over the counter) drugs. Plus, they do seem to offer generic medications and branded medications. Unfortunately, I was not able to check the categories of medications since they do not offer one so in order to check if this statement is true, I had to use the search function by keyword to find it out. They claim that people are able to find a lot of different drugs for different health needs such as meds for hypertension, asthma, arthritis, blood pressure, diabetes and many others, nevertheless, they made it clear that the pharmacy does not sell steroids, narcotics or any other illegal drugs and substances. I’ve been searching for ED medications, drugs that I’m mostly familiar with and searching for Viagra, Cialis and Levitra did offered a result as they do offer both authentic and generic medications. Different medications are also coming in different dosages as well.
I have also noticed that people can search by first letter of the drugs, and here’s an example of what drugs you can find for letter “V” (the screenshot does not contain all the possible drugs for letter “V”).
The assortment of medications does seem to be really high, or at least that’s what it seems by checking for each letter in particular or searching for the well known ED medications as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
Nevertheless, I can’t rate this pharmacy with maximum score as the assortment of drugs, full assortment, still remains unknown. But taking in consideration I did noticed they offer many drugs for each letter, they do offer generic and original medications and they do seem to offer OTC and prescription drugs, my mark for this unit is going to be 4 stars as people stand a good chance to find whatever they need from the pharmacy.
Prices Affordability
According to the information I found on Globalcarerx.com, the pharmacy is offering the lowest possible prices on the internet and since they are offering such cheap prices for drugs, people are able to save a lot of money by doing business with the pharmacy, up to 90%.
Except for this, in case you still do manage to find a pharmacy with any lower prices than they are listed at this pharmacy, they claim that they offer 100% price match guarantee. They claim that finding the same product at a lower price, the pharmacy would match it! I do think that this is a very good option allowing customers to save money. I have checked the prices for the most famous ED medications and here’s what I found out: if you would get generic sildenafil citrate 50 mg (Viagra) then you would are able to get 88 tablets for 54 USD. This means you can get a single pill for 0.61 USD. You can get an ever lower price if you get Viagra generic 25 mg. the price is attractive even if you get less quantities. The price per pill is getting higher, however it still remains a really good price.
To be honest, that’s an amazing price, it is one of the cheapest price that I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about brand Viagra. The lowest possible price for brand Viagra is 8.1 USD per pill if you get 48 pills. The price is even higher if you get less quantity.
The price for generic Cialis is not as attractive as for generic Viagra, unfortunately, and the price for brand Cialis is not very attractive either.
I then checked the Levitra price where I found out that the prices are even higher.
In the end, my rate is 3 out of 5 stars for price policy. You can indeed save a lot of money if you purchase generic Viagra – one of the lowest prices I have ever seen. However, for all other – brand Viagra, Cialis or Levitra the prices are higher compared to other online pharmacies. In addition, the prices for generic Cialis and Levitra are simply unacceptable high. I only recommend to purchase generic Viagra for its really attractive price.
Shipping Options
According to the information that I managed to find on their site, the pharmacy does seem to offer world wide shipping. Or at least, on checkout page there does seem to be a lot of different countries you can choose from. I managed to find information suggesting that on average the shipping delivery times is 2 to 3 weeks, while internationally it takes anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks. They suggest to order all the medications in a 3 months supply at one time as this will save you shipping charges. The shipping fee is 9.99 USD, however the shipping fee internationally (outside these countries) the shipping fee is twice higher – 19.95 USD.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find information or any options suggesting the pharmacy is offering different shipping methods or what shipping companies they are using. I also couldn’t find any information suggesting they do or they don’t provide tracking.
In the end, this pharmacy offers a single shipping option, which takes quite a long time to deliver to the customers, plus it is quite an expensive shipping option without any possibilities to get it for free, regardless of how much you buy. It is unknown if you do get tracking online and many information is not disclosed about shipping policy.
A lot of other pharmacies are offering much more attractive shipping options than this one, for this reason I am going to give a rate of 2 points here.
Payment Options
According to the information on their website, on the FAQ page, customers are able to pay for their orders by echeck, credit card, personal check, international money orders (including international postal orders) and automatic bank withdrawals. All of this sounds really good. Tried to check it on their checkout page.
In the end, my rating is 4 stars here. They do offer a lot of payment methods which is great, however most used payment method still remains credit cards and as much as we can notice, the only credit card they accept is American Express. Many customers may not find this convenient as they may use VISA or Master Card.
Technical Characteristics of GlobalCareRX.com
Website’s Loading Speed
The Website’s Loading Speed is helping us all to find out how fast the pages of the site are going to load, that’s something very important to my opinion as customers may not want to purchase anything from a site that is barely loading their pages. Customers simply may not want to wait for a website that is loading their pages too slow and this would push them into going and finding other pharmacies. So, using the google test here’s what I found out:
The mobile version, as much as we can see, has some drawbacks as the page loading speed is average and it should be fixed. But luckily, the page loading speed for desktop version is absolutely perfect rated with 100. Only customers using the mobile version may get a few issues, but for desktop version users there won’t be any problems at all. As a conclusion – 4 stars out of 5.
Mobile Version
As much as we can see above, the google mobile friendly test discovered that globalcarerx.com is having a mobile friendly version for their website which is amazing as many customers, lately, are purchasing their needed drugs from their smartphones. That would have been a big problem if the site didn’t had the mobile version as mobile customers’ experience wouldn’t be pleasant.
Luckily, the page is mobile friendly and it is easy to be used on a mobile device and since so, the pharmacy well deserves a rate of 5 stars.
Is the Connection Secure?
The connection with this online pharmacy’s website is secure and that’s really good as the customers data is encrypted meaning that it is kept safely – no hackers or third party users can obtain your personal data information. This is being proved by the green lock near the address bar. I checked for more details and I discovered that this pharmacy uses a low security rate of 128 bit SSL encryption. That’s really sad as many pharmacies out there are already use the higher security level of 256 bit SSL encryption. In addition to that, the company owner information is hidden. I would recommend the pharmacy do pay attention to these things.
What disappointed me even more is the information I found on their site:
And they have this information although they do use the lower security rate. Misinforming customers is a no-no and that’s making me removing them another star. 2 stars for this unit.
Antivirus On-Site
This online pharmacy does seem to offer Norton Antivirus program on their site which ensures that all customers personal data is protected and generally, browsing the site seem to be safe as no viruses and other internet threats are on the site. Customers can freely and risk free browse through the site.
Since the pharmacy is offering an antivirus making it safer to customers to browse the site, I am going to rate them with 5 stars.
How to Order from GlobalCareRx.com
A really big problem I have encountered is the fact that all of the users who want to purchase anything from this online pharmacy are required to create an account on their site. Without creating an account and logging in to the account, customers are not able to order any types of drugs. If you don’t want to create an account then the only other option left is to arrange an order via their toll free phone number.
Another drawback to my opinion is the fact that the only option to search for medication is using the search function as they do not offer a categories list of drugs which is much easier to find whatever you need on the site, to my opinion.
Something else that I did not love is the fact that you are not able to see the prices per pill. I had to calculate the prices myself. You cannot see how much you save or anything else. You only see the quantity and how much you need to pay.
Plus, there’s no option to change the currency or the language on the site which many people may find useful.
Anyway, the pharmacy claims that there are 3 steps which you need to undergo for placing an order which includes: finding your medication, order your medication either online, by calling them or by faxing your paperwork and then receiving your medication in 2 to 3 weeks.
To order online, you find what medication you need, add it to cart, check your shopping cart and add items until you are finished and click *continue checkout*. There you should fill up 2 steps: shipping information and then payment.
After this just click on *confirm payment*. In the end, I am going to rate the convenience of ordering from globalcarerx.com with 2 stars only because there are 3 different ways you can place an order.
Is GlobalCareRX.com Legitimate?
Rating on ScamAdviser.com
In order to find out if the pharmacy is legitimate and safe to do business with, scamadviser.com is always coming handy. I am going to run the test on this site about scamadviser.com and doing so, I haven’t found very good information. The site may be risky with a trust index of 58% which is not enough. The site could be unsafe and there are strange things: Although they claim to be a Canadian pharmacy, the probably website origin is either US or Barbados. Plus, a malware report has been detected for this site too.
My rate here is 2 stars because the information is really strange, risk is involved and the trust rate is not enough. The company should make all the information clear and available to everyone.
Prescription Requirements
This online pharmacy does seem to care about their customers’ health, or at least, they are following the laws which doesn’t allow pharmacies to sell prescription drugs without the customers showing a valid prescription. The customers should send their prescription to the store by fax, email or by mail before they will be sending the prescription drug. The pharmacy won’t send more than 3 months’ supply of drugs. Since they have a serious attitude over selling Rx drugs my rate is 5 stars.
Checking the Status on LegitScript.com
I checked the pharmacy’s status on legitscript.com and I didn’t found really good information because the pharmacy GlobaCareRx.com is an unapproved pharmacy as they do not meet the verification standards. The legitscript.com has an ever worse status for pharmacies: rogue, and that’s why my rating here is 2 stars for this approval status.
Quality Certificates
I found information on their own website suggesting that the pharmacy is having 2 quality certificates meaning the pharmacy is approved by: CIPA and PharmacyChecker.com. Luckily, both the icons were clickable and they both suggested the pharmacy is indeed a CIPA member and is indeed approved by PharmacyChecker.com
It is obvious that for quality certificates my rate is 5 stars.
GlobalCareRX.com Customer Reviews
Customer On-Site Reviews Global Care Rx
Customer reviews are offering a good idea either the pharmacy is worth using or better to stay away from it. I have been searching for customer reviews on Globalcarerx.com but I found absolutely nothing. There are no customer reviews anywhere online which could take in consideration and make a conclusion. We cannot be sure 100% in the safeness of the pharmacy without reviews. my rate is 1 star out of 5 because of this.
Reviews about Globalcarerx.com on Foreign Sources
Although I found no reviews on their sites, I did found a few reviews about this site on foreign websites. For example, there are few reviews on repdigger.com where I found something like this:
Obviously, such a score is not really good. I read on that site positive and negative reviews either. I also found reviews on pharmacychecker.com. there seem to be 11 customer reviews and the average customer reviews rate is 2 stars out of 5.
I found both positive and negative reviews, however, the negative reviews were much worse and much more.
Since this pharmacy is having multiple reviews on multiple website it means that people did used the pharmacy. What alarms me is that most reviews are negative people saying to stay away from this site and they warn other people like: BEWARE using this pharmacy. There are few positive reviews, but that’s not enough to have full trust and only thanks to those reviews my rate is 2 stars. Most reviews are negative and we can’t ignore that.
GlobalCareRX.com Coupon Codes
It is not only the fact that this online pharmacy does not seem to offer any coupon codes – the pharmacy is not offering anything at all. I mean, the pharmacy does not seem to offer free shipping, they do not offer free bonus pills, nothing free at all, no discounts or coupon codes which would give you discounts or anything at all. Regardless what you buy, how much or where etc. you won’t be getting anything. The administrators should re-think their decisions. My rate is 1 point.
Customer Support Service
Information
Getting on their contact us page I have found all the available options to get in touch with them which includes: toll free phone number and toll free fax number, mailing address and assumingly the address of their headquarters, the contact form which they claim they would respond back within 48 hours and their hours of operation are listed as well.
But we do remember the information on scamadviser.com that is suggesting there is another location in another country. We are not sure where is the location of the pharmacy and that’s why my rating is 3 stars here.
Getting a Consultation with GlobalCareRx.com
Sadly but there is no live chat function on their website which I would really appreciate. As said, you can mail them, write them through fax number or call them in their working hours. Since none of these are methods I regularly use, I decided to use the contact form. They claim that the answer should arrive to my email in 48 hours which, to be honest is a lot. Unfortunately, they never answered me back, even after 48 hours have passed. The customer support service should be improved. My rate is 1 point.
Conclusion: Pharmacy with Certificates but Unclear Location no Discounts
GlobalCareRx.com is an online pharmacy which is offering a large selection of medications as they claim but we can’t conclude that because there is no drug categories list on their website. Although site is having good technical characteristics and is mobile friendly and overall user friendly, the convenience of ordering here is very poor. The pharmacy claims to offer big savings but you can only save on generic Viagra as all other ED drugs were pretty highly priced. The pharmacy’s shipping and payment methods also need improvement.
The company is having a few positive customer reviews and they are CIPA and pharmacychecker.com approved, yet, they are having much more negative reviews and no forms to save money which could attract customers. GlobalCareRx.com is a pharmacy which shares location in Canada, but scamadviser.com says that it is either from Barbados or USA which is pretty strange and alarming. It has a pretty low trust rate and plus to that, it is unapproved pharmacy by legitscript.com. Taking in consideration everything mentioned, the pharmacy is overall rated with less than 3 stars and that’s why I would recommend customers other options.
