Agent of the week?

[LostDollar]

Caveat, not an agent.

Comments for consideration by other agents considering paying for client prescriptions from overseas pharmacies.

I would just note that it is illegal to import prescription medications from overseas (or across the border).

It seems to me like there might be some difference between:

An agent explaining to someone the processes and risks of purchasing drugs from India, The UK, or Canada; via a Canadian pharmacy and letting the client or potential client make up their own mind.

and

An agent enticing someone to engage in an illegal activity by making a payment to, or on behalf of, the someone.

I would also state that I believe US Customs is allowed to intercept, open -- and maybe retain -- prescription drug orders coming from overseas (I am including Mexico and Canada in my definition of "Overseas").

I have ordered a medication from India and the UK. I have ultimately received all my orders. I did receive one package that appeared to have been opened. The extra shipping time for that package and the appearance of opening led me to believe that package had been detained by US Customs. If a "normal" shipping time is 3-4 weeks, a client taking an "absolutely must take every day" type of medicine must be prepared to deal with a Customs package interception that increases shipping time to 6-7 weeks.

Keep in mind the adage "Hero today, scoundrel tomorrow". A Customs interception can happen at anytime, not just on the first order.

But you can't give your client money (or buy stuff for them) to use that Canadian pharmacy.

That's the issue.

Canada has covid brain fog pills too, try them.

Going the extra mile to serve a client is "agent of the week" worthy. Breaking insurance dept regs cancels it out.

Next time, just help her get in touch with a reputable Canadian pharmacy, and maybe even help her place the order. But, for goodness sake, don't PAY for it!

This guy is actually bragging about breaking the law. Cant make this stuff up.

One of the points I wanted to make is

I don't know if paying a canadian pharmacy for another person's medication could be considered importing prescription drugs that are not for your own personal use.

There was a thread sometime back where an agent was asked if he (she) wanted to put their license in the hands of their mother.

My point with "Hero today, scoundrel tomorrow" is that op has engaged in an action which has at least three different points where a client could become dissatisfied in the future and make a complaint to the state DOI. Seems like that might be an awkward type of threat to have hanging over one's head.
