Self Isolation & Repeat Prescriptions

Hello, I'm immuno-compromised and have asthma so am self-isolating at home.  After a rather traumatic trip out yesterday to collect my repeat prescriptions, I'm trying to find a reliable home delivery company.  If anyone can recommend a reliable company, I'd be very grateful.

    Is there not a local pharmacy that offers the Service?
    All the big chains do, and some of the independents. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I've had very good service from Pharmacy2U but can only base that on six months of using them. Way better than any local pharmacy or even Boots delivery service.

    I've had good service from 'Echo' (who used to be Lloyds online).
    It's not difficult!
    'Wander' - to walk or move in a leisurely manner.
    'Wonder' - to feel curious.

    Thank you for your replies.  There's no services local to me so I've been looking at online.  Thank you for the recommendation of pharmacy2u - they can deliver to me so I'll sign up with them today 😊

    A local Lloyds Pharmacy saved me here too. My local GP had doors locked, signs up telling people to ring them instead, but they just played a pre-recorded COVID19 message on perputual loop. No way to talk to anyone regarding my repeat presciption (Asthma inhalers I really don't want to be without). Lloyds managed to get through to GP and order the repeat prescription and sort things out for me.
