Choicepharmacy.com was established in 2003 and was recently acquired by canadapharmacy.com. This acquisition has however not affected the online pharmacy’s operations as it continues to provide customers with prescription and over the counter medication at affordable prices.

Payment Options
Choicepharmacy.com accepts Visa and MasterCard as well as payment by personal check e-Check’s and money order.
Choicepharmacy.com Reviews
Choicepharmacy.com doesn’t have any reviews on Google. It however has a very positive 4 star rating on TrustPilot with 21 reviews. Most of the reviews posted are all positive, detailing the great service choicepharmacy.com has to offer. One such review says, “My cat has asthma and his inhaler can be very expensive. I was able to get it at a good price, they have great customer service, and it actually arrived pretty quickly. Thank you so much!!”
On WOT however, the story is not the same. There are over 68 reviews and most of them are positive. But in general the reviews only amount to a 2.3 star rating on WOT. This could be attributed to some very negative reviews that seem to have nothing to do with Choicepharmacy.com services.
Conclusion
Choicepharmacy.com is a legitimate place to purchase prescription or over the counter medications (

). That’s because it has CIPA certification. It should however be noted that the NABP lists Choicepharmacy.com among its not recommended sites and LegitScript lists it as an unapproved since it doesn’t meet all of LegitScript’s requirements.
There is also the issue of the website’s location which can’t be determined. All these factors considered give Choicepharmacy.com a rating of 3 out 5.
