Solution if you can't send tablets from UK to EU

It is allowed to buy and receive NDT tablets to UK via air mail. But not for EU, the customs will reject it, however it is still allowed to bring it with you in luggage if you fly (no need to hide it). You can get returning fly ticket for Easyjet or Ryanair from EU city to London Stansted for around 30€ if you choose right date and if you choose right day you can be back the same day. You can order the tablets and as address you put parcel locker within London Stansted. So you fly to London, pick the package from parcel locker and fly back the same day, cost around 30€. This is my idea for now. Do you think it would work?

Have anybody used parcel locker before? Where do you find exact address you need to put when you order the product? I tried to find DHL parcel locker within London Stansted but I couldn't find a list on their website.

newbie85, We understand your dilemma, but most people here won't have the knowledge to answer your question. One thing that comes to my mind, is that any reputable supplier of medications may not be willing to send to an anonymous address like parcel locker.

If someone contacts you to say they will send to some anonymous address, please be very careful. We know that there are scammers lurking here all the time, waiting to take advantage of people like yourself. Read our warning post about this here healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

But why not, NDT is allowed in UK otc, it is not clasified as medication or is it? This is why I don't see any reason why reputable supplier would not be willing to send to parcel locker.

Yes, NDT is classed as medication. No, it is not available to buy OTC. We can only import it for personal use.

i have been using NDT I live in France without a thyroid. It is banned here. Anyway I order it to be sent to my friend in the UK. She then repacks it and sends it on. This has worked for over 8 years now. I never have a problem with this. Some EU countries allow the use of NDT anyway.

I have bought T3 online and these come straight to France via the German Post.

BUT it is illegal in France to buy prescription drugs without a prescription. Most of the time they slip through, but should customs chance upon them they are likely to be confiscated.

Not what you're looking for?
