Following negative comments about Chemist Direct, we got in touch with its manager to investigate. He gave us this statement:

"Over the last year since my wife and I founded Chemist Direct we are proud to have built up a loyal base of over 200,000 repeat customers who are delighted with our service. A sudden and major surge in orders over the last few weeks did create a few problems for our small team, and we’re sorry to any customers who may have experienced a less than perfect service. However, we have just carried out a major expansion of our customer services department, with more staff to deal with enquiries, and I’m confident we’re now well back on track to offering a quick, efficient and friendly service. We'd like to ask that any customers with queries should email my customer services team at [EMAIL="sales@chemistdirect.co.uk"]sales@chemistdirect.co.uk[/EMAIL]. We will then ensure their queries are resolved amicably and quickly."

As it stands, we're going to leave the recommendation in the article, and keep a close eye on feedback in the forums. If you order in this period and run into problems, do please post to let us know what happened; we may be able to chase it up.

As aside, I'd like to reiterate that all the companies we include in articles are chosen solely based on editorial merit. In this case, Chemist Direct was included because it currently offers significantly lower prices than any other online or high street chemist we've come across, and furthermore has received overall good feedback in the past. There is no commercial relationship between it and MoneySavingExpert.com. For full info on how this site works, please read the How This Site Is Financed guide.

I have just placed my 4th order with chemist direct and i have to admit the prices are very competitive, you cant argue with them. Reading the thread above, i have no doubt that they have had a surge of customers with the prices they advertise! I did have to make a call with my last order.. I needed to change my delivery address last minute. Didnt get through on the phone lines but managed to leave a message. Suprisingly not long after i received a call back from them!! Got the address changed and the advisor was very helpfull.. Not sure why other people havnt had the excellent service i have recieved with chemist direct.i willcontinue to give them my custom as they are very convenient for my busy life style!!

Just a quick note to say I just ordered from Chemist 4 U, and there was no postage charge. So 6 packs of 30 are just £5.94.

The Qu-Chi acupressure bands have worked very well and get rid of my hayfever without causing the drowsiness side effects I endure with antihistamines.

Does anyone know which types are safe to take is pregnant? The article stated that children and pregnant women need to be careful which ones they take, then goes on to tell you what children should take but doesn't mention pregnant women again!

Thanks,
