too bad these companies don't have an affiliate program.

It was sad to see he's still struggling financially. Of course he isn't in this for the money but he's selling potentially 12,000 * £50 of medicine per month and sleeping on friends couches...

Edit: Actually, having clicked the link it certainly looks like he's making money now. Well done to him.

Presumably because the UK only allows imports for personal use. It's a shame he didn't (or couldn't) get financial support from an HIV or LGBT charity.

I wasn't suggesting importing for resale, but rather earning referral fees. It looks like he's being paid for the top spot now.

I often use the same legal mechanism to buy modafinil, and have reached out to my supplier about affiliating. They don't do it either. I have to wonder if there's some kind of risk or law working against them.

Isn't the sale and import of modafinil restricted? I would think that becoming an affiliate would introduce legal risk

[beaconstudios]

It's legal for personal use. You can import prescription only medication from abroad, you just can't buy it domestically.

Modafinil is Schedule IV in the US. The law may or may not be enforced with respect with to Modafinil, but possessing that drug without a prescription is illegal.

The article was about someone from the UK, and I'm also from the UK. That's the circumstance I was speaking from.
