I don't know how to go about choosing one because they all seem to have roughly the same shipping costs, shipping times, and other policies. They differ a little among prices, but that seems to be about it. Any recommendations of any particular pharmacies that are particularly good or bad?

In an astounding break from policy, Dr. Rost, a vice-president at the world's largest pharm co., Pfizer, testified (two days ago?) to a Congressional committee that the risks of obtaining drugs from Canada are vastly overstated, and false.

I watched him on the news. He quite correctly said that Canada's drug standards meet or exceed those of the United States. We actually have better protections here in Canada.
He was presented with a "ceremonial" camouflage bullet proof vest, in light of his courageous break with his employer's public policy.
That there are fraudulent and misleading drug suppliers on the net is not a valid criticism of the responsible players. If you can get a drug without a prescription and validation procedures, that's a pretty good indicator that you're in the grey zone. You might want to check with one of the seniors' groups that help retired folk get their drugs at better prices. They'd tell you who is a responsible supplier.
