Tried with some and it’s looking very doubtful that the surgery will allow that to happen if that is the case then oh boy they will know I’m not happy.

We have a mini Boots in the village and they will deliver. As they also pick up the prescriptions from the GP, we know when they will be ready, although I still collect my own. Normally there is a charge but at the moment they are doing it free to reduce the number of people in the shop.

Tracking service ones do take priority

Mine have never been delayed

My doctors do 2 months supply for long term meds so when I start the strip for last two weeks before they run out I do the repeat prescription request online


We have a local Lloyds but they have never delivered

Sainsbury had their own pharmacy instore and used to get them to apply for the repeat and pick up the following week when I did my shopping

Lloyds took over the pharmacy about two years ago and same service

I enquired of them if they would deliver but they said nooo

My granddaughter recommended Lloyds echo because she wasn’t able to get repeat prescription by ringing in as phone requests not accepted , plus actually picking up her meds too was awkward with her job .
This was way before lockdown too

I don’t know if they still do but our local village branch of Lloyds used to do their own deliveries.
I’m not sure whether I would trust the postal ones as we have always been convinced that postal deliveries are not made every day.

There are several who advertise on Facebook

I use Lloyds Echo and my doctors are ok dealing with them

They do remind you by email when your meds are running down

I go into the site and tick the ones I need then about a week later they arrive via P Office tracking post delivery

Started using them at the beginning of lockdown and am pleased with their service

Others probably offer similar
