Looks good. It's new to me too. Looks as though Softbank has a hand in this respectable effort. Randy

Extremely limited selection, (one brand and size of shave cream? ), like all the online duggists to date. Not worth the bother, unless you live 45 mins from the nearest store, as some friends of mine do. Victor

They are not selling prescription items. The eDrugstores sell prescriptions at cost, or at a loss, and make it up in OTCs and sundries. More.com does without the OTCs and sundries. We know that in late 2000, and in 2001 and 2002, it is expected that there will be an epoch of eCommerce-induced disinflation. So, OTC drugstore item prices may dip, and effectively be flat for five years, with inflation in 2003 and 2004 making up for deflation in 2001 and 2002. So it becomes a matter of: can they get big fast and get market share, eyeballs, and ?advertising revenues? It might just work, since most consumers may not believe that disinflation is coming. Tom
