Pharmacies Feedback on Reliable/Consistent Pharmacies

[Muiredach]

Another discussion thread for anyone to chime in on. What have been your most reliable/consistent pharmacies over time?

On Friday I had scripts posted to Montu and Specials Pharma, Montu delivered today, Specials will deliver tomorrow.

I normally find Specials and IPS amongst the most reliable, always next-day when products are in stock - though Montu were impressive for the first time using them this month.

I've used Mamedica® a lot recently, and while they're quick to get medication together after invoice, not being a patient there myself it often takes a few takes to react to my script landing. I do really appreciate them providing all flower with Boveda or Integra humidity packs though.

Lyphe almost always took over a week, Xeal were good the first and only time I used them.

Currently waiting to see if my doctor can post a script to Takoda One still this month, as they've been ignoring his emails on how to direct prescriptions for several weeks apparently.

I wondered if anyone had any experience or tips regarding the Christmas period and ordering prescriptions around that time?

Here's my email from last year ,each clinic will be different but should send enough advanced warning.

This was sent in November last year and went smoothly for me.

Not a happy patient today.

Did my repeat a couple of days earlier than normal; it was processed and sent to Montu on Tuesday asking me to allow 2-3 days for it to be processed and available to buy online.

Still nothing. Alternaleaf and Montu phone systems are both currently cutting off calls

Okay I’m trying not go freak out but it also says “no new requests” on all of the formulary

 

[GrownHealth]

Surely yours isn't counted as a new request but sounds like something amiss with ordering and paying for sure,

Managed to get through and someone manually took payment for me.

Recently signed back up with Lyphe, good experience as ever with the clinic. 1st time round used their dispensary & had a really really bad experience with A. Medicine quality & B. Poor initial response to complaint then ignored. Then changed dispensary to IPS & was so much better so this time round sticking to Lyphe as the clinic and IPS as the dispensary

So this is your second attempt with Medical ? @SimonA ,sounds like a switch of dispensary has smoothed things out for you after bad communication from your previous dispensary, good to hear

For those who may be affected by this.

Three months experience with Alternaleaf membership (£15pm) and Montu.

• Consultations: Excellent - non-judgmental, professional and inspires confidence in the service.
• Pharmacy service: I can't knock it. I recently needed a re-write due to an item going out of stock. It was all sorted within a day or two allowing me to still order when needed.
• Range of medications: Difficult to assess as no experience with other pharmacies. However, I'd like to see more Sat Dom strains at the lower end of the price range.

Overall it has been an excellent experience. I'd happily recommend.

Welcome @utopiate ,it's always good to hear of patients experiences good or bad and yours seems a pleasant journey with them.
As for the range of medications, I noticed after a time you start to see little things like you say Sat Dom strains and in my case all round cheaper strains missing.
It would be much better if all medications were made easily available no matter what clinic you are with.

Two Pharmacies used this month and happy with both as everything was handled efficiently from Specials Pharma and CB1 Medical .

Third time coming through Montu and has been smooth as always. Made contact with payment link within the three days everytime.

First two times put in Wednesday, paid thursday and recieved meds on Saturday. Unfortunately this week missed the 3.30pm Friday cut off, but still meds before 1pm Tuesday still a decent turn over in my opinion. They are doing their best considering the amount of people I see saying they're switching pharmacies lately.
