Reviews
During the period of time that we were researching this e-pharmacy, we were not able to find any other existing independent reviews about the online drugstore. This is a bad sign in itself, as it shows that the e-commerce website is not widely used.
On the e-commerce website, there is a widget located on every product page that allows users to submit a testimonial. Yet, we were not able to find any testimonials being hosted at the time. Regardless, we recommend that you do not pay attention to feedback that is hosted on the same e-pharmacy that it is supposed to be reviewing.
Conclusion
To conclude, MedicationPlace.com is an online pharmacy that you cannot trust. The main reason for this is that they are not operating according to the law. No legit pharmaceutical retailer would be operating in such away. This is in addition, to the fact that you do not know who you are dealing with.
Based on the mountain of evidence that we have examined, we will have to give a trust level of 15%.
