Direct answer

Get the pharmacy’s exact name and state, then look it up on that state’s board of pharmacy license register, and check that it holds a non-resident license for your state if it ships to you. Search FDA’s warning-letter database for the name, and for a 503B outsourcing facility check FDA’s registered-facility list. If a program will not name its pharmacy, you cannot do any of this.
