Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need to request my prescription from my GP?
Yes, you will still need to request your repeat prescriptions from your GP when you use our service. When you request your prescription, your GP will need to approve it and send it through to us electronically. When your GP has sent your prescription to us, our pharmacy team will get to work making sure that it will be with you as quickly as possible. Simply request your prescription however you usually would and we'll take it from there.
I pay for my prescriptions; how can I pay for my prescription with you?
If you pay for your prescriptions, there are a number of ways to pay:
- We take your prescription charge via our payment provider, GoCardless. Once you are nominated to us, we will send you a link to set up your payments. Each time we receive a prescription from your GP we will charge the corresponding prescription fee.
- NHS Prescription Prepayment Certificate - Click here to purchase a Prescription Prepayment Certificate for 3 or 12 months
What do I need to do differently?
Absolutely nothing! You'll request your prescription exactly as you always would, the only difference is that instead of sitting around in your local chemist waiting for them to hand over your prescription, you can sit at home, relax, have a cup of tea and wait for Chemist 4 U you deliver your prescription right to your door. It really is that simple!
How will my prescription be sent out?
When you order your prescription, it takes 2 working days for your doctor to sign and send us your pescription(s). We process and dispatch your prescription on the same day by local courier or Royal Mail delivery depending on where you live (subject to stock and cut off times.)
Can I get my prescription sent to a different address?
Yes, you can specify a different address than your main address should you need to. To do this, contact us immediately after you have given your prescription order to your GP. This allows us enough time to change the delivery address on your prescription so that it will go to the right address without any problems.
