Yet Another Online Drugstore

from the not-nearly-crowded-enough dept

I'd thought by this point, most companies would realize it wasn't worth it to try to put together yet another online drugstore, but apparently, that's not the case. Another one is about to be launched, and their business model is to have the lowest prices. This is not the type of strategy that usually works. Just ask Buy.com. Oh well. Should be interesting to watch.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Online Drug Stores

    Maybe one of the reasons why there are so many drugstores out there trying to go online is that a lot of the distributors have already been 90% there for some time.

    What I mean is that they have been running highly automated production line style warehouses for mail order prescription filling & etc. for a decade or more. So, the infrastructure to support web-based sales is already there. All they have to do is stick a web interface on the front end of their existing ordering system and bingo, a new source of potential customers.
