Hello, I am in the US and am trying to purchase through the link below. I am having trouble with the checkout (being in German LOL). Can you please tell me how to check out through pay pal? I would like to try and purchase it, and am also interested in what the shipping would be to the US. Thanks to anyone who can help.

If you have a PayPal account just click on that icon at checkout. If not then best to sign up to PayPal it is very safe providing you do not use the password on any other account.

I sent an email to Versandopo and they sent me a link to the exact page of the product. They were very helpful, replied quickly to queries and I had my 100 ampoules within a week at a very reasonable price.

With Versandapo it is important to select the method of payment after putting the item you want into your shopping cart before proceeding to the Cashier. The options are Amazon Pay or PayPal and as these both have you delivery and billing addresses in then which will be added to your order automatically. This then enables the website to determine what the shipping fee should be. If you just proceed to the Cashier without selecting the payment method the website considers you to be a German costumer and will only accept a German address.

I do have several German addresses available to me as my close German friends would be happy to take delivery and either forward them or hand them over when next we meet. I haven't yet had to resort to doing that but if we are no longer in the EU Customs Union at a future date then perhaps that may be the way forward. Despite what they say about prescription medication I queried this fact with a Pharmacy in Germany when over there last year. B12 injection solution is available 'over the counter' without prescription. Currently this means, due to EU homologation rules, it applies equally to any EU citizen, and that of course includes us, until and if disaster strikes.

I also queried this after trying to order from Bodfeld yesterday as the website would not let me order more than 3 packs of 10 ampoules. They have sent their full terms of trading today but so far I can find nothing in it which refers to not being able to send to UK. They do say that they will only supply prescription drugs against a verified doctors prescription but B12 is not prescription only drug in German, even the version for injection, it is 'over the counter'. The version I was trying to buy is the one I have always had but if you look on the web page there is another package which is not 10 per pack but 100 per pack and that is supplier as a single pack of 100. It may be appropriate to try ordering that.
