Boots

[Nanasboys]

Hi have you heard that boots are charging £5 for delivery and it is only boots know other chemist are charging for their delivery well if you read the small print at the bottom it says there may be a prescription charge it doesn't say there may be a delivery charge and there is unless you only have a short time to live

Try a more local Chemist if you have 1. Nanasboys. Maybe if its closer you maybe able to go and fetch it. Hope you get it sorted out. Brian

Hi Brian I changed to a cheins chemist and they are good the only problem I have is because since finding out I have heart failure I take a lot more tablets so have them in blister packs and they dont do the blister packs on the premises so they place that do them do them 3 weeks before my tablets are due and if I have had a dose increase like I do get with my ramipril the increase isn't in so it's a bit of messing about but other then that their good but i think boots are in the wrong saying prescription charge and not delivery charge

[Bingo88 in reply to Nanasboys]

If i lived close enough i would help out and pick them up for you. I am in North Midlands. Its expensive if you have to pay delivery every month. And sadly Neighbours are not always as friendly and helpful like they used to be. Hope you get something sorted. Brian

Its nice enough of you to even offer I do have a couple of good neighbours but I try not to ask for help because I was in a bad marriage and my children only think about themselves I had to ask him for everything so I feel I must do everything without asking for help I think I dont wont to ask for help people say it's not wrong to ask for help but in my case it seems wrong but at least I'm not paying boots

[Bingo88 in reply to Nanasboys]

Never wrong to ask for help love. We all need it from time to time

[Nanasboys in reply to Bingo88]

I know I think it's the way I was when I was married having to ask him if I wanted to do something or go somewhere when I divorced him I said to myself I will never ask anyone for anything again but the good thing was that helped me divorce him was I had such a good friend she had an affair with him lol you are the 1st man I have ever talked to in 20 yrs other then the neighbour and his wife that try to help me

[Bingo88 in reply to Nanasboys]

Good and bad everywhere love

[Nanasboys in reply to Bingo88]

Your telling me but when you get used to doing things you don't look at them as bad until its over that's what happed to me but you never forget that's why it's hard for me to ask for help when you said if you lived near me you would help it really took me by surprise know man has just offered to do something for me and like you said from the Midlands to Bolton Lancashire is a long way to go to the chemist lol what I do want today is thank you for being so nice when you reply to what I txt you

[Bingo88 in reply to Nanasboys]

Your welcome love. Used to deliver to Bolton. Used to go up by the Old Bolton Wanderers football ground that was 30 yrs ago now. Take Care love. Try to enjoy life the best you can

We'll what a night and morning I've had was rushed to hospital last night because having a cold my copd got really bad and like always I leave it to late I have a nebuliser at home and that wasn't helping I knew something was wrong got to hospital put on neb took bloods blood pressure was really low kept telling doc want to go home because I could end up worst if stay in so they said ok because I have a neb at home they gave me antibiotics and steroids so because wont ask for help theres me sat outside with bags and my fluffy dressing gown on looking like a snowman waiting for taxi got home about 2.15 and was I glad but I have to learn not to leave it so it's so bad hope you had a better night

[Bingo88 in reply to Nanasboys]

Look after yourself. Early action helps with C.o.p.D. I have it as well. But coping ok so far. Just have a coughing fit in a morning when i wake up. Seem to be ok, once i have had a hot drink. Just ask your kids to treat you with respect. They sadly have learnt from your ex. Hope you have a good day

[Nanasboys in reply to Bingo88]

Just seen your reply that's what was told not to leave things to long nx time and asking kids to show me some respect they would say why were not treating you bad like you said they are so like their dad in every way and they cant see that they are doing anything wrong none of them know what happened couldn't be bothered to tell them

[Bingo88 in reply to Nanasboys]

Lloyds introduced delivery charges some months ago. I use neither as I have had issues with both.

Part of the problem is you need a van and driver to deliver that come with additional overheads. Another problem is that people who are capable of collecting their own make use of this service. I know someone who makes use of delivery yet goes to a gym a few hundred yards away.

[SpiritoftheFloyd in reply to MichaelJH]

Yes agreed.

My chemist quite frequently is short when I get my 28 days supply. When I first started gong there, they'd used to say - oh sorry we're short of XXX, we're expecting a supply on Tuesday, we can deliver it to, and I used to reply, Thanks but I can always walk up here next week and pick it up. Now they no longer ask if they can deliver.

As you say there are overheads with van and driver, and the service should only be used by people who can't easily get to the chemist, those of us lucky enough to be able to get around should collect our own

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to SpiritoftheFloyd]

The driver also needs a fairly clean licence (minor speeding only) and needs to pass enhanced DBS (disclosure and barring service) as they will be dealing with some vulnerable people and carrying some powerful drugs. It is not that easy for small independents!

[chevidaniels28]

I got a letter through door for these guys, have not tried them yet but claim to be free well.co.uk/landing

[Nanasboys in reply to chevidaniels28]

Be careful because they must have found out that you have your medication delivered so why couldnt they politely knocked and talk to you if you ring them dont even say your name if they say it ask how did they find out your name you can't be to careful
