Ordering B12 from Europe

Has anyone been able to order B12 from Europe recently? Just tried to place an order with Bodfeld and they no longer deliver to UK. Thanks

I’ve managed to order from mycare.de

Couldn’t order from Bodfeld or Versand - neither would let me choose an address in the UK

I’ve just ordered from Bodfeld without any difficulty .But I am a registered customer . After I’ve signed in , my address comes up automatically

. I do know that the German online pharmacies are strictly really not allowed to dispense any drug that is prescription only in the country to which it is to be shipped . This is very good sense with dangerous drugs , but not B12 . Try registering next time . Mycare has such expensive shipping , but if you are ordering a large amount , it’s not so crucial .

Thanks Wedgewood

I tried to register with both but there was no option to choose England/GB/UK as the country. Suggests they’re not allowing new registrations for UK residents. Paid €17 for delivery from mycare which seems expensive but not prohibitively so when B12 is 60c per ampule.

Might be a worry for people coming in to SI for the first time, or if Coronavirus impacts on B12 production, as suggested in today’s news.

Apparently most of the basic B12 is produced in China , and a small factory in France . It’s certainly a worry . Good to get stocked up .

Im trying to find more German online pharmacies who are not following the rules so strictly . Strange that mycare.de are not so strict (yet)

I ordered and had delivery from Bodfeld with the last two weeks for the first time. First time order and I did not register with them before or at the time. I did however use Amazon pay and my details including address all came up automatically.

Thanks LeighW. With Bodfeld I had a message come up at payment that translated to something like ‘we cannot deliver to that address’.

When I tried to then register there was no option for me to choose UK as the country.

I tried to register with Versand and, again, no option to register in the UK.

Managed with mycare though so hopefully I’ll be able to keep ordering from them. Didn’t mind the 17€ delivery charge as I’d ordered 100 ampules which should last for at least 18 months.

For versandapo I would recommend using Amazon Pay or PayPal as they get the address from the payment site.

Excellent - hopefully I was just getting things wrong. Might find a German speaker to help me next time!

Hi fbirder, I was using PayPal, and have ordered from both in the same way before. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but my paypal payment was declined on the basis they wouldn’t deliver to my address.

I paid using PayPal, and my loyalty points knocked a further 5 Euro off the bill!
