We decided to check BuyFinpecia.com for credibility purposes and see whether it is a legit or online scam business. It is an online pharmacy which claims to sell generic drugs for curative and preventive purposes. The online pharmacy attests that it distributes these generic drugs all over the world at a greatly discounted fee which is lower than local prices. We did a comprehensive check for this pharmacy as follows.

Domain Info
The domain name for this online pharmacy has been in existence since 2016. It was first registered by Guangdong information technology company Ltd in 31st October 2016 and expires on 31st October 2020. This is a very short lifespan which a legit pharmacy shouldn’t have. A longer lifespan creates assurance to customers.
Business Profile
On checking the business on spam adviser, we noted some inconsistency with the business’s locality. The website is said to be based in the Netherlands. The business is said to be from China. That kind of information is ambiguous and puts a lot of doubt about this online pharmacy. The website is also operating in a country classified as high risk.
Regulatory Approvals
On checking the pharmacy on LegitScript, their database does not contain the details of this pharmacy. That is an indication that the pharmacy is not even known and its operations aren’t publicly known. You should be very careful when transacting with this pharmacy. Keep your money safe. The online pharmacy does not appear in any CIPA database and thus, it is not certified nor registered to operate.
Products and Pricing
Their products are generic drugs which are both used for chronic and acute illnesses among many other conditions such as:
❋ Reproductive Health
❋ Haircare
❋ Skin Care
❋ Depression
❋ Hypertensive Drugs
❋ Birth Control
Their prices are extremely discounted since they don’t adhere to the set rules and regulations. You might wonder why they have very cheap generic drugs which should be expensive in nature. Are they selling sub-standard products? It raises such a question. When you order a drug online, there is no signup that is required and the drugs aren’t limited to anyone who wants to purchase. This means that the online pharmacy can sell drugs to actually anyone who wants them. This includes kids and mentally ill people! There is no prescription needed when buying drugs from this store. You just place an order and it is delivered to you. This allows people to self medicate themselves which usually leads to misuse of antibiotics. This, in turn, leads to resistance of drugs. A legit pharmacy utilizes prescriptions.
Payment, Shipping Methods and Delivery Details
Payment is done via Visa cards, American Express, and E-checks. A legit company offers a wide range of options when it comes to payment of drugs. Secondly, when paying the drugs, the page redirects to another page outside the online pharmacy’s website which makes one wonder why they haven’t incorporated their own secure network. There is a 10% discount offered when you buy drugs costing over $200. The delivery of the drugs is done using two methods. The first method is through Airmail which takes about 2-3 weeks. Usually, you can’t track your goods using this method. It is a method that saves you $10 from the other fast service. In our opinion, this is bad service and you have to wait for quite a long time. If you buy goods over $200, you will get free airmail shipping of the goods. The second method is using the EMS or the Express Mail Service. The online pharmacy delivers using this method in approximately 3-8 days which is longer than other online pharmacies.
Reviews
Unfortunately, the site has no feedback on TrustPilot. This raises a lot of questions on how one can trust this pharmacy if they do not have any reviews done about their services. Their website has a testimonials tab. In that tab, all the posts about people buying their products are all copy-pasted from various websites. They are not genuine at all. This is another great reason why you should avoid this pharmacy.
Conclusion
In our humble opinion, the trust level for this online pharmacy trails at below 10%. It lacks so much to be credited as a legit online pharmacy. It has all the characteristics of a pharmacy which is operating illegally.
Your healthcare should be your first priority.
