Stopping Prescription Smuggling Into Florida

With the combination of human ingenuity and numerous pieces of legislation which were passed in several states to stop the online sales of prescription drugs, there has come a new problem...

Some investigation has shown that a small number of people who preferred to buy prescriptions online were trying to cheat the no-Florida rules by filling in an address that was located in a state where their family or friends could pick up the package and mail it to them in Florida.

Pill Network, as I'm proud to say, has reacted quickly to this and added a new feature to their system. As they wrote in a recent newsletter,

"From now on, when we find orders that were previously shipped into Florida but are now going into the above mentioned states but billing information is still in Florida, we will be canceling these orders and placing customers in our abuse database. We are asking everyone to please take notice when submitting these orders to us also. If you notice this, please inform the customer of the laws and we cannot take the order."

How's that for compiance?! I have to say I feel very secure becoming involved with such an outstanding company.

Alright: Time for lunch...
