I just tried to order Panpharma VitaminB12 depot from versandapo.de, just to see if they would deliver to U.K. again . It seems that they do . It’s always good to have a choice of suppliers . They accept PayPal or Bank transfer for payment .

They charge €9.00 for DHL courier , no matter how many are ordered

For me this is unbelievably good news as the others don't seem to do the Pascoe brand ones that do 1.5mg in 1ml hydroxocobalamin.

Thank you for letting me know!

Hi could you send the link for Pascoe 1.5 please Wedgewood.Thanks

wedgewood in reply toChocolate41

I don’t know how to do links , but if you type in the pharmaceutical reference numbers that every German pharmaceutical item has , , you get straight to the item you require For 10 packets of 10 ampoules of the Pascoe 1.5 the number is 07568695 cost is €81.38

For 1 packet of 10 the number is 07568672 cost €18.18 So it’s cheaper to buy 100 ampoules than to buy more than 4 0 !

Best wishes .

P.S. The price of 100 went up by €10 whilst I was looking all this up . So they might change again by the time you order . Anyhow those prices are correct at the moment !

I did write to them soon after Brexit saying that there were loads of us who would buy from them if they were able to sort it out for us so I hope people do use them to support their efforts! 👍

I think that your plea worked ! They have the cheapest courier delivery , and the fact that they accept PayPal ( but not cards ) as well as as Bank Transfer , will make them popular.

That's fantastic news. Is there a limit on how many boxes you can order . Say 200 or 300 ampules in a single order? Simply to have a good stock of b12 as I still am SI EOD.

wedgewood in reply toWorkingProgress

i honestly don’t know . I’ve only ever ordered 100 . Why not just try ? Versandapo is popular because their stock is always fresh and they award points which you can cash in !

WorkingProgress in reply towedgewood

100 is good I will simply order on several occasions plus pay pal makes it so very easy simply a couple of clicks.

I don't understand all the post-Brexit tax rules but watch out for large orders as I believe anything above £135 has to pay UK import duty and this is in addition to any VAT requirements. I am going by this Guardian article although it is a bit dated because it was written only weeks after the new rules came into force.

theguardian.com/money/2021/...

I don't understand the reference made to "gifts". Can anyone who understands this kindly advise? The article states:

"Anyone in the UK receiving a gift from the EU worth more than £39 will now face a bill for import VAT at 20%."

Duty is only levied on dutiable goods - alcohol, tobacco, bits of bicycles, etc. Mostly, duty is actually at a fairly low percentage rate.

VAT is payable regardless the value. Under £135, it would usually be collected by the marketplace/portal you use. Over £135, it would usually be collected by the courier, in the UK, adding on their customs clearance charges.

Gifts are things that are sent as presents. If you personally sent a toy to a relative in another country... So if someone in the EU sends you an item, declares it is a gift, but it is worth more than £39, you will face a bill for VAT and whatever charges for customs clearance/collecting the money.

Despite all this, some people do sometimes "get away" with charges.

Hi WorkingProgress. I've ordered 400 from this site before with no problems. Hope this helps.

Awesome stuff thank you. They are going to get tonnes of business from us here in England

You could try ordering more ,as this pharmacy supplies fresh ampoules which have a use-by date of at least 2years . All you need to do is keep them dark and under 25 celsius .

Cetus in reply towedgewood

If you buy a large stock, then can the excess be stored in the fridge for a year or two?

helvella profile image
helvella in reply toCetus

I posted earlier specific advice for one make that it must not be allowed to freeze. Is the temperature in your refrigerator guaranteed never to reach freezing point?

wedgewood profile image
wedgewood in reply tohelvella

I have only ever kept B12 ampoules in the very top of the fridge , in the door actually ,, which is the warmest part of the fridge .I keep a fridge thermometer with the ampoules . It’s never less than 10 Celsius . I’ve done this for several years and there’s never been a problem with the efficacy of the ampoules . It’s a small fridge which I keep for fresh veg ,so it never reaches freezing . It is not on the lowest setting .

helvella profile image
helvella in reply towedgewood

I was really pointing it out as some refrigerators do fancy defrosts with superfast cooling after, some have rubbish thermostats, etc.

wedgewood profile image
wedgewood in reply toCetus

I wouldn’t want to buy more B12 ampoules than I could use before the use-by date . As I said before , the large pharmacies have a good turnover and I have only received ampoules that had a use by date of 2years , and often nearly 2 1/2 years . So work out how many ampoules you will use in say 28 months . You could keep them in the top of the fridge if you wished , but it’s not 100% necessary. As it happens, that’s what I do . . And just take out ampoules that you would use in a couple of weeks .

I left it 'til this morning to order as I was tired & not desperate for new supply and....they're out of stock now. lol. I presume they will see how popular shipping to the UK is. haha. They'll let me know when new stock arrives. It's good to know they're back for us.

wedgewood Was the Panpharma Vitamin B12 depot you saw at VersandApo in a pack of 100? I want 100mcg hydroxocobalamin x100 but whichever supplier I look at, they seem out of stock.

Based on past experience with no stock, is it likely this will become available once again in the next week or two? I'm currently using a lot of B12 and don't want to run out over Christmas.

wedgewood profile image
wedgewood in reply toCetus

The panpharma B12 is exactly the same as the Rotexmedica that we all knew . Still made at the German laboratories in Trittau , Northern Germany. But they have been taken over by the French company Panpharma . , who now have decided to market them , using their name . They are only selling them in packs of 10 . I don’t know if they intend to sell them in the bulk packs of 10 x 10 . If i were you i would just buy 10 of the single packs . They have a new pharmaceutical reference number which is 16199653. Just put this in the search box and you will get straight to them . They cost €7.59 at the moment and then €9.00 DHLcourier. Bodfeld are charging €6.98 plus €9.98 courier . All other suppliers charge more for courier delivery

I’ve been looking on a daily basis to see if they will sell the 10 x 10 packs of ampoules and will let everyone know if they do . But i really would just buy several packets of 10 in the meanwhile for peace of mind .

When you look for Rotexmedica they will come up as out of stock . If you did find some they would be old stock and you want fresh .

Best wishes .

wedgewood Yes you're right: when I write 100 ampoules of Rotexmedica (Panpharma), I mean as a manufacturer's bundle of 10 packs of 10.

Thank you kindly for those cost figures. It seems the cost of buying 10 single packs of 10 Rotexmedica (at €75.90 or €69.80 from Bodfeld) is much the same as a box of 100 Pascoe 1.5mg ampoules, which I see is €74 from Versandapo. That surplus 0.5mg dose can always be discarded, or even injected for a stronger effect.

As a result of all the excellent advice in this thread, I placed my order today.

Some online pharmacies that will ship to U.K.

Brexit has caused problems for German online pharmacies that were supplying vitaminB12 ampoules to the U.K. They now have to register with U.K. customs and collect any VAT for them and have extra paper work , customs documents etc because we have voted to leave the single European market .So many of those pharmacies have given up shipping to U.K. . Some , thank goodness,still do

The following are the various brands that are supplied..

Panpharma ( used to be called Rotexmedica) have 1mg x1ml B12 depot ampoules

Hevert have 1mg x 2ml. B12 depot ampoules .

Pasco have 1.5 x 1ml B12 depot ampoules .

versandapo.de has now resumed deliveries

to U.K. . Large and reliable pharmacy . Charge €9.00 for DHL delivery . Accept payment by Paypal and Bank Transfer . You can earn points when you purchase .

bodfeld-apotheke.de. A large and reliable pharmacy , but they now only accept payments from U.K. by Bank Transfer . Simple and free of charge if you have mobile/ internet banking.They supply the information you need to make a transfer . Otherwise it’s a trip to your bank and a charge of £25.00!

Courier costs €9.89

versandapo.de Delivery €9.00 by DHL courier .

At the moment they are not stocking Panpharma b12 Depot . They have Hevert B12 Depot , but they come in 1mg x 2ml ampoules . Panpharma come in 1mg x 1ml ampoules . Reasonable delivery charges .

But if you use the following reference numbers , you will get the ampoules you want.
