Online Canadian Pharmacies have only one method of shipping medications across boarders; regular United States Postal service. This is because courier services like FedEx will not allow medications to be shipped through their service. Also, it is necessary for all medications crossing boarders to clear customs. Most of the shipping time of a medication to your door is spent in customs, which another reason why courier services will not ship medications. Also, if a medication is attempted to be expedited with a courier service it may increase the chances of the medication being seized by the FDA.
Regular United States Postal service does charge to ship packages, which is why most Online Pharmacies will charge a shipping charge in some form. Shipping charges are generally quite reasonable averaging around $10.00 for a flat rate (rate does not change depending on amount of medications). If an online pharmacy does not charge shipping it is because the cost of shipping has been factored into the cost of the medication.
There are no hidden fees or membership fees. Generally, the only costs you should be paying for is the price of your medication and the shipping fee.
Online Canadian pharmacies are in business to provide US citizens with viable options to purchase necessary medications - not to inflate costs. Most Online Canadian pharmacies do offer a price match guarantee, which states that if you find a medication on another website for a lower price or with free shipping they will match the competitor's price. So always take a look at an online pharmacies policy on price matching to ensure that you will always be guaranteed the lowest possible price with or without shipping.
