My story is much like the others who have been ripped off by the PricePills.com phentermine scam. It's not real phentermine. It's apparently the same non-prescription stuff that other on-line pharmacies are marketing as phentremine or phentramine. Only at pricepills.com they keep the spelling of real phentermine and inflate to price to 3 times the price of the non-prescription stuff to make you believe it's the real phentermine. It's not.
It looks like the real thing. But it doesn't taste bitter like the real thing. And it doesn't curb appetite and keep you awake like the real thing. So someone is making quite a profit. They also never disclose the correct dosage. Real Phentermine is once a day. The non-prescription phentremine is twice a day.
On theiir Phentermine, PricePills.com website says....
"HOW TO USE
This medication is best taken on an empty stomach one hour before meals. (Note "meals" but doesn't say how many meals one is to take the medication before) ..... Take this medication as prescribed. Do not take it more often or longer than directed."
What do they mean by directed? I never received a prescription nor was I instructed how many to take per day or how long to take it. The other thing that was strange is I placed the order on 7/8/08, it was shipped the next day 7/9/08, and received the next day 7/10/08. It was mailed USPS from inside the US. Everything about the website leads you to believe it's a foreign pharmacy. They even posted a fake EMS tracking number for my order.
Typically, the pharmacist takes at least a day to review the questionnaire and generate a prescription. This never happened. I never received any notification about PricePills.com receiving my payment or what process the order was in. I was surprised to see the meds in two days in my mailbox with no adult signature required upon receipt. All this indicates these meds do not require a prescription. They also were not mailed from India or Canada. Somebody's making a lot of money on a fake website.
I emailed and called their support several times. I wrote them first in a kindly fashion to tell them about their mistake saying.....
"I believe there has been a mistake. I've purchased this medication before at a local pharmacy and on-line. I am very unsatisfied with the product I received from you. I did not receive pharmacy grade phentermine or adipex. Nor did I get a proof of prescription with a container and doctor name of reference. I got a bag of pills that look like phentermine. I believe what I received was non-prescription "phentrimine" or Fastin or some other derivative of the real thing.
This is what I ordered from you:
Product - Phentermine 37.5mg (Generic Adipex)
Quantity - 120 pills (37.5 Tablets) +12 Pills Bonus
Price - $359.00
Shipping - USPS Priority 2-3 days $29.00
Total- $388.00 "
They wrote back saying.....
"In reference to your concern below, please to inform you that this is being forwarded to the shipping dept for investigation and reviews as we have pretty much satisfied client for our medicines. Anyway, please kindly wait for updates per this matter.
Regards,
Maureen
Customer Service Rep."
I called them and got the same line. "this is being forwarded to the shipping dept"
I wrote again saying....
"Hi Maureen,
I did not receive the product I ordered, 120 count 37.5 phentermine that I paid $388.00 for. I googled your website name and found other claims of similar problems with your phentermine product, claims that it's fake, containers with no doctor name, no prescription, no dosage instructions.

I realize you may be having difficulties with your suppliers, shippers, inventory control. Every business does from time to time. However, your website clearly states:
"At PricePills.com we support our products and services with a 100% guarantee. All our products are sourced only from reputable international pharmaceutical companies and suppliers. If your purchase is faulty in any way we'll be pleased to replace it."
My purchase was faulty. If you replace it as your 100% guarantee promises, please try to use a different "reputable international pharmaceutical companies and suppliers"
Thank you"

I keep getting the same run around answer, "this issue is being forwarded to the shipping Dept". It's been 3 months.
