Terms of Business

These are our terms and conditions of sale.

Please read carefully

All contents of this web site are for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. You should make sure that you carefully read all product packaging and labels prior to use. If you have, or suspect you may have a health problem you should consult your doctor. Please consult your doctor before taking any new product, particularly if you are already under medical care.

Once an order has been placed, the transaction is processed manually at the premises of North Meols Pharmacy Ltd by one of our registered pharmacists who are members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

This website should be regarded as an invitation to treat. Any order placed by a customer is an offer to purchase, which chemist-4-u may accept or decline in its absolute discretion without having to give a reason. A contract is deemed to be made at the point of a delivery being made following the checking of orders by a pharmacist.

You are responsible for your use of this site and for your orders so please ensure that any details which you are asked to provide to us are accurate and true.

Keep your log-in details secure so that no-one else can misuse them.

Certain drugs in Chemist-4-u’s catalogue can only be provided upon receipt of a prescription from the customer’s Doctor. Certain drugs under UK law can be provided to UK citizens without a face to face consultation. However in countries such as the USA, orders will only be fulfilled with a prescription from the examining Doctor.

Delivery

We use the Royal Mail second-class service. Delivery in the UK typically takes 2-7 working days. An upgrade with ANC courier delivery can be paid for, as a premium service. Delivery in the UK (excludes Scottish Highlands and Ireland) typically takes 48 hours.

Orders are usually dispatched within 1 working day of being placed.

Our address labels are created automatically based on the address, which you enter.

The Royal Mail delivery service that we use classifies UK destination parcels, which take over 5 working days from the day of dispatch for delivery as "Delayed". At this time, please continue to wait for your order and it is likely that it will arrive shortly. After 15 working days from the day a UK destination parcel is dispatched, an order is considered by the Royal Mail as "Lost". In the unlikely event this occurs, please inform us and you will either receive a full refund or the option to have your goods dispatched to you again.

Delivery Charges

Charges are calculated at the time you place your order and will be clearly stated in your shopping basket. The charge depends on your location and the value of goods ordered.

For further information regarding our delivery charges or for shipping to countries not included in our web site, please contact us.

Re-Delivery Charges

Please ensure that the deliver address you enter is correct. Goods that are returned to us will incur a further delivery charge.

Temporarily Out of Stock Items

If you order multiple items and some items are temporarily out of stock (may be due to unprecedented demand) then we will send you the items that are currently in stock and refund you the amount for the items not currently in stock.

You are responsible for checking that goods are correct when you receive them without opening them or removing the cellophane wrapper.
