    Order Delays: What to Know

    We work hard to prevent delays, but when they happen, we keep you informed every step of the way.

    Our Commitment

    If there's ever a delay with your order, we'll notify you immediately, explain why, and give you options. Your payment is protected until you receive your medication correctly.

    Why Delays Happen

    Delays are rare but can occur for several reasons. Here's what might cause them.

    Insurance verification required

    Common

    If you're using insurance, the pharmacy may need to verify coverage or get prior authorization. This can add 1-3 days.

    Medication temporarily out of stock

    Occasional

    The pharmacy may need to order the medication from a supplier. Usually resolved within 1-2 days.

    Prescription clarification needed

    Occasional

    The pharmacy may need to contact your doctor to clarify dosage, quantity, or other details.

    Weather or shipping carrier delays

    Rare

    Severe weather or carrier issues can delay shipments. Temperature-sensitive medications may be held for safety.

    Compounding time for custom medications

    Expected for compounding

    Compounded medications are made-to-order and take additional time to prepare.

    How We Handle Delays

    Verify your shipping address is correct before confirming
    If using insurance, have your insurance info ready
