Local chemists...do they order in?

[dillan221]

Hi, I remember someone saying a while ago that a lot of chemists, if asked, would order in a specific brand for you. Is this true, and can anybody possibly give a list of chemists (chain ones, not individual) that do this in the UK?

I can not order online at the moment (Father off work due to injury) and figure this is my best option.

Thanks
Dill

I'm pretty sure. But yes I have heard from another member that this is possible.

The only way to know for sure is to call and ask them.

I've heard that you can do that with some chemists. Doubt a chain pharmacy would do it though. Single chemists tend to be more helpful because most people use chains (because of marketing) and this gets them more money.

I imagine a local pharmacy will order in for you though, if you phone them, or even if necessary you went into the shop - if you are brave enough.

Good luck!


(as you may have noticed in the UK the words pharmacy/pharmacist and chemist are interchangeable)

Be weary tho as they might gouge you a bit. Also be warned if you want to just get a pack they might get a bit pissed as they have to order a whole case.
Also i don't know if its the norm but i was kinda shocked when they rang up the price for me after they ordered it in.

^ Ooh! For real? There is a Walgreens about 6 miles from my house... It's a good healthy bike ride, but if you are right, it would be worth it.

No big deal.... I hide everything in a small, forgotten crawlspace in my basement... Then I take a little more than what I need, and hide it behind some shelving. It's all good!

I believe it is a case. I am sure you can go in and have them order it right from them in the store. You can also go to walgreens.com. If you have any questions specifically please ask. I will try my best to answer.

I've "ordered" both Molicares (which I don't believe they can get anymore) and Attends for store pickup at Walgreens before, but I haven't in a year or so. When I ordered, individual packs were available, or full cases as others have mentioned. All you have to do is stop in, in person, or give them a call... Tell them what you want, and in 1-3 days check in to see if they arrived (I've never had it take more than 24 hours). There are no shipping charges, and when I've ordered them the price was the same as on their website.

My boyfriend, who works for Walgreens is telling me that he thinks only cases are available now, but he isn't sure. I'd ask him to clarify, but he isn't going to bring up the diaper thing at work... Sorry. Best for you to just call your local store and ask.
