More Americans Visiting Asian Online Pharmacies than Ever Before

The mounting tide of foreign online drug buying seems to be turning towards Asia as buyers look for even better prices than Canadian and Mexican pharmacies.

(PRWEB) February 12, 2005 -- "Canadian and Mexican pharmacies simply reduced to no match!" boasts MAC Pharma Network a leading offshore pharmacy based in the Indian Subcontinent. "Buyers are willing to wait for two and sometimes even three whole weeks before their medicines arrive", says Mathew Stevens, MAC Pharma's senior manager for customer relations. "The number of queries we get each day is humongous. Its unbelievable how many Americans are placing orders for drugs they need so much not just for their health and well being but more often than not their survival!" claims the young manager.

MAC Pharma Network is not the only Asian pharmacy doing well. A host of other smaller sites have popped up during the last one or two years from almost every single Asian country on the map. The main competitors of these pharmacies are websites based in Canada and Mexico, the tradional venues for offshore drug buying. Though Canada followed by Mexico remains the leading offshore drug supplier, the trend towards Asia continues to grow at a staggering rate, begging the question; why?

"Our prices are to Canadian and Mexican prices what Canadian and Mexican prices are to American prices, soon we expect Canadian buyers to be doing what so many Americans have been doing for so long, turning offshore to fill their prescriptions", says Matthew.

Pricing seems to be the main factor that sets apart Asian pharmacies in the offshore market. How successful will these online pharmacies remain in attracting US buyers long term? only time will tell. Customer service, delivery time and most importantly, quality are all factors that will shape the final picture. If the trend continues the way it currently is then there is only one message Matthew has for his Canadian rivals "The future of offshore online drug buying is all Asian."
