Good Morning Gail Hodgson,

Thank you for your review, I am sorry to learn of the delay with your delivery.

On reviewing the parcel tracking this does appear to be delayed within the couriers’ network. I have raised this with the courier for further investigation; however, it may take a few days to receive an update. This may be delivered in this time; however we will contact you with the update as soon as this is available.

Please accept our apologies for the delay and inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Chris

Had to return an item BNIB and they refused a refund as it had picked up a few cat hairs from my home. The item was a cat flap. Honestly don't rely on them refunding returns

Good Morning Sharon,

Thank you for your review, I am sorry to learn of this issue.

On checking the details of the return, upon this being checked it was received in an unsalable condition, with this being the case we cannot refund; however, we have returned the product back to you.

We reserve the right to refuse a refund if the goods are not returned in a saleable condition or are damaged. All returns will be assessed prior to processing.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Chris

Don't expect any help from Pharmacy2u when things go wrong.

To be honest, most of my medicines arrive on time in good condition, and the service is great for these. However, one of my medications is always a problem. They are out of stock, there's a delay, can we split your order and send these later?
Well this time they promised to send it on the 17th of July (3 weeks after it was due). I figured out that I had almost enough to last until then if I reduced my dose. Then this morning they tell me that they can't get it, so they've cancelled my prescription. My surgery doesn't open until 8am on Monday. They have left me with a ridiculously difficult task (I am disabled) and a tight deadline. I MUST have this medication, and frankly I'm beyond angry about being treated in such an offhand way.

Good Morning Brian,

Thank you for your review. I am very sorry to learn of this issue. It appears you have left your review on our over-the-counter product Trustpilot page, rather than our NHS page.

When prescriptions are received, we allocate available stock to process the order. If no stock is available, the item is marked as "owing" so our purchasing team can source it.

Once a supplier or manufacturer provides an expected delivery date, we contact the patient to advise them of the delay. In cases where we cannot obtain the product, we will promptly notify both the patient and their GP surgery.

Intermittent supply problems can occur due to manufacturing issues causing shortages of branded products, or supply chain disruptions making generic medicines difficult to obtain.

Due to the nature of our service, we cannot supply an alternative medication without a new prescription from your GP.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Chris

Good Morning Tracey Compton,

Thank you for your review.

We do occasionally reduce the cost of certain products that have a short shelf life; however, this would be advised within the product listing.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Chris
