United Parcel Service (UPS) has become the first global package delivery organization to join the Center for Safe Internet Pharmacies (CSIP) as a strategic partner and board member. CSIP is a nonprofit organization that was established to educate the public and to take voluntary enforcement action against illegal Internet drug sellers and its board of directors includes executives from American Express, Discover, Visa, MasterCard, eNom, GoDaddy, Google, Microsoft, Neustar, PayPal, Facebook, and Yahoo!
In a press release, CSIP Executive Director Marjorie Clifton said, “The participation of shippers represents an important addition to our membership which currently includes search engine advertisers, social media, registries and registrars, and payment processors. With UPS on board, our members now represent all areas of the online sales and delivery ecosystem. Together we aim to set a global precedent and call on other companies similar to our membership to take action.”

I wonder if UPS will stop delivering packages from U.S. Injectables and U. S. Peptides (their websites are www.usvitamininjections,com, www.ushcginjections.com, and www.uspeptides.com) which are illegal, unlicensed Internet pharmacies who deliver compounded sterile/injectable drugs including HCG, but also the unapproved new drug CJC-1295 (a growth hormone analog that was never approved because, in clinical trials, it caused heart attacks) - to customers in Florida as well as all over the United States, without a valid doctor-patient relationship.
The Florida Department of Health has done NOTHING to stop these unlicensed Internet pharmacies, nor the compounding pharmacy that supplies them (KRS Global Biotechnology d/b/a GBTRx Pharmacy). What is worse is that the Bureau Chiefs in Tallahassee have told their pharmacy inspectors to:
- not enter GBTRx pharmacy
- not speak with the Palm Beach County State Attorney about GBTRx Pharmacy
- Not take any enforcement action against this rogue compounding pharmacy (that has already lost its DEA number for shipping anabolic steroids without valid prescriptions) but is now manufacturing compounded drugs without a license, wholesaling compounded drugs without a license, allowing their compounded drugs to be resold and further distributed, etc., etc., - all of which are violations of Florida's Statutes and Rules of the Board of Pharmacy.
With such a dysfunctional Department of Health Bureau of Enforcement, the State Board of Pharmacy is powerless to take action on these obvious rogue pharmacies that are endangering the public.
Maybe if UPS, FedEx, etc - cut off their ability to ship their dangerous drugs, then, despite the inaction by state Departments of Health, the public health could be protected.
