Pharmacies Delivery problems

What happens if my prescription can’t be delivered because of the snow and it’s on its way
The postie get through mate ? Just went to go in the car an it was horrid so I came back in.
 
No. My tracker said Pending from 10 30 and it’s at the Royal Mail depot.
I can’t see it getting here tomorrow now or the rest of the week
They should have just done it on Friday like I asked them to saying I had no medication.
5 days with no prescription because somebody can’t be arsed to put 4 tubs in a box
 
Actually thought it'd turned up because you didn't mention it but went to my car before an it was nasty and wondered if they'd turned up but starting to be a shocker for you now:(
 
It's frozen over on my road ,wary to drive on it as it's frozen ice so doubt any post here ,but main roads may be ok .
 
My script was due today special delivery, but i live on a track that is deep snow, they will keep trying but i wont be getting it until the weekend i guess now, not an issue i have stock.
 
Just nearly had a bump on the ice ,but my postie was out ,more the sideroads here are frozen ice then the junctions on the main roads have black ice too
 
I live in a wood
This is where this type of medicinal service fails really albeit no one controls the whether, 30 day limit yet yours could be up to a week late getting to you.

I went to go out to the shops last night and hadn't really been out for a couple of days but put it off as car was frozen, then this morning I just went but it took 10 mins getting snow/ice off car ,it's proper dangerous as 3 or 4 mph when you can't stop still scares the crap out of you and the car going passed the front of me didn't notice I couldn't stop at the junction .I'll walk next time its like that 😁
 
On Saturday
Actually swore and rewrote this , It's caught you right out this one pal ,absolute flippin stinker .
I mean it's nasty out there as you'll know but for crying out loud what we meant to do as patients we certainly pays our money !
Feel for yer mate . 😞
 
That’s a week with no medication by then.i have told them that they must send my medication the same day I pay for it now or it won’t work out.
Post office and the weather have not helped either but if ever I am going to run out again I have to ask for a certain member of staff and he will help me due to my health conditions which is a lot better for me.
I also have a friend on medical and he has helped me out so I am lucky really
 
Seems like you've put in place the necessary measures to prevent this happening again hopefully and yes your mighty lucky you got friends like you have and when I think about it we need scope in the amounts we can order on a prescription taking in mind events like this and in hindsight I might request an adjustment in mine in case of unforeseen circumstances or chain of events as for a week without meds could be real serious for some .
I'd personally going forward when I can afford it like 20g floating so I could cope with this .
