> > I ordered from Vitality.com, a pharmacy in Thailand that many Psycho-Babble users have recommended. While it has not been the full 5 weeks that I am supposed to wait to receive all goods before filing an insurance claim, I did receive a package today containing a cheap metal Thai necklace. Has anyone else had a similar experience, and if so, does this mean that I was either ripped off or my goods were seized or stolen in the mail? Or are the actual pharmaceuticals I ordered still going to arrive?

> Actually, in my experience they are a reputable firm. I've never had any problems. I have had to wait though usually 4 to 6 weeks. I ordered amineptine once and it happened to be backordered. I had to wait about 2 months for it. That to me is the main only major drawback with overseas pharmacies...the wait. Sometimes it's only 2 weeks, but sometimes 2 months, usually right about 30 days. I'm curious, does it look like the package was opened and then resealed? (tape, staples?)

> jamieThe package was not opened I'm pretty sure. I have no idea why I got a gift. It came with a card that says "Dr. David Dymond and all the staff at Vitality Health Products take pleasure in sending you this small gift which has been handmade in Thailand from 92.5% pure silver in appreciation of your loyal custom." It's a necklace with a little medallion at the bottom with palm trees on one side and the word "DrTonic.com" on the other side. How cheesy is that?
