Chemist Direct???

Hi all,

I have a question, and wonder if anyone can help......

Does anyone use chemist direct? If so are they trustworthy?? :confused:

I've done a search, and can't work out whether people use them and they're great, or, if all the posts about them are self promotion. :rolleyes:

Thanks.

    Hello SarahShattered

    I've ordered medicines from ChemistDirect successfully. The process went smoothly and other than having to be at home to sign for the package when it's delivered (which could be an inconvenience if you're not at home;) ), I can't fault them.

    I would be happy to order from them again.

    I have no connection to the company, so I'm not doing self promotion and I have nothing to gain from my endorsement.;)

    Regards

    I've gone ahead and placed an order anyway, thanks for that, it makes me feel a little easier about it! We'll see I guess!!! I'm such a cynic! :D

    Does anyone else have any experience of using this online company? I've seen it mentioned lots of times, and am really interested in people's views/experiences of it? :think:

    Bad experience with them I'm affraid. After I had placed my order, I waited 6 weeks before trying to contact them by email several times, they never responded. When I finally managed to get through by phone, I was told that they had dispatched my order, but would do so again? The PO couldn't help me with the tracking order as they had not yet tried to deliver the package! (So you would assume from that that the order had not been shipped). After another 4 weeks and numerous phone calls where I had to wait on the line while people consulted their manager, I was told that it was obviously my address????? And that they would now refund my payment. In all it took me over three months of twoing and froing to get my money back but no goods. So I for one would not recommend them. Savers or Superdrug from now on.

    Oooeeerrr!!! That's not great, but glad you got your money back in the end - after what sounds like dogged determination... fair play to you!

    I've used them no problem.got my stuff within 48 hours.
  • The business is under the control of a pharmacist, so should be trustworthy and is regulated by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.

    I've never used them, and have only had a quick look around the site. Some of their price comparisons tread a fine line - I'm not really sure it's valid to compare the price of ibuprofen tabs to nurofen for example.

  • I have used them a few times to get stuff like shampoo and toothpaste delivered to the office. Find them fairly good and I’ve only ever had one problem with an order, I complained and they sent it straight out again and I actually reckon it was Royal Mail’s fault cos some other stuff from other sites I was expecting did not turn up.
    SarahShattered hope your order finds you on time!
