Secure-Rx-Shop.net is a Canadian online drugstore which is in operation for almost 2 years now. The pharmacy is owned by Czech Retail Store and primarily sells men’s health drugs as well as some other health medicines at a cheaper rate. We investigated the pharmacy recently and even though they are operating for almost years, we found very few positive things that speaks for its legitimacy. Read below to know what we found and whether you should buy anything from them or not.

Domain Info
According to WhoIs data, the domain was created on 13th December 2017 with an expiry date 13th December 2019. So, the domain only has a couple of month in its lifespan unless the owner renews it. This is similar to many rogue online pharmacies which have a shorter lifespan and was created to dupe customers. Another concerning thing is that the server of the domain is located in more than one countries including the USA, Russia, Canada, and some random country that gets altered after a certain period.
Business Profile
The ScamAdviser data shows that the owner is using proxy servers to hide their actual identity. We also found the other details provided by them are also fake and does not exist in reality. The website is also running on a shared server instead of its own and there are at least 70 other websites running on the same server.
Regulatory Approvals
Regulatory approvals are essential for any business’ legitimacy. Unfortunately, the pharmacy is not registered with any concerned authorities such as CIPA, Pharmacy Checker, and LegitScript. This simply means the drugs and other medicines offered by them are not safe to use.
The CIPA data shows it is not registered with the organization and the seal they are using is completely fake. For a Canadian pharmacy not being registered with the main legal authority does not bode well for its legitimacy.
Available Products
Like most rogue online pharmacies, this one too primarily sells men’s generic health drugs. Almost all their best-selling items are generic health drugs even though they also sell some other health medicines especially to look legit and avoid scrutiny. Some of their items include:
- Antibiotics
- Allergies
- Blood Pressure
- Cholesterol
- Diabetes
Product Pricing
The pricing of their products is extremely low and you won’t find these items at this price point in traditional markets. The main reason for the low price is these products are sourced from developing parts of the world where these drugs are available at a much lower rate. Another reason could be these products are counterfeited items of the original that gets transferred during cross-border smuggling or other activities.
Payment Methods
The pharmacy accepts payments in credit cards issued by either MasterCard or Visa. They also accept Bitcoin, AmEx, and E-checks as payment methods. One good thing about the website is that it is HTTP secured. However, there is no SSL security certificate on their website which means it is not safe to disclose your personal website and you should rather stay away from them.
Shipping Methods
The pharmacy offers two shipping methods, including:
- EMS which will ship the item within 5 to 7 days and
- Air Mail which will ship the item in the next 2 to 3 weeks
The pharmacy also offers free shipping on every AirMail order over $200 and every EMS order over $300. They also offer some free generic drugs with every order you make.
Customer Testimonials
We did not find any reliable external reviews despite in operation for almost two years which is rather odd. Our only hope was their in-house customer testimonials which to one’s surprise was full of praise of the pharmacy and how good their products and services were.
One could easily find that those reviews are not legit by any means and to sprinkle some surprise there were few 4-star reviews to add some variety. There was not a single negative comment on their website which is bound to raise some eyebrows.
Conclusion
So, should you buy anything from this pharmacy in the future? No, absolutely no. There are plenty of reasons for that. The use of fake security certificates, owner’s decision to hide its identity, no negative customer reviews speak loudly against its legitimacy. Therefore, stay away from this pharmacy and protect yourself from any kind of counterfeiting and forgery.
