Things to consider when choosing upgrades and shipping rates
When shipping a temperature-sensitive medication, it is a flat rate of $25 (includes up to $500 worth of medicine or a 3-month supply). This includes the fastest possible shipping from Vancouver, BC, via Canada Post Express, crossing over to USPS at Los Angeles (the fastest customs depot). Shipped with ice packs and thermal insulation wrapper, with the option to upgrade based on your local temperature. This can always be upgraded to our new Rapid Airmail
Options and upgrades include a Styrofoam Box, which costs $10 extra. You may want to add extra ice for $5 (which we will fill the shipping container with ice packs). We always offer this option all year, commonly referred to as UPGRADED SHIPPING, for two combined recommendations of extra ice and thicker insulation. For maximum protection when ordering in the middle of summer or ensuring your package arrives cold. Use our Mobile Fridge solution. Keeping the medication 2-8 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 96 hours. Providing complete peace of mind, the medication is shipped and received quickly, accurately, and consistently.
The Basics
- We ship ALL temperature sensitive medicine by AIR Express delivery, which is sent mandatory signature required, properly packaged with ice-packs and insulation. Plan accordingly to sign for the package. A tracking number will be provided at the time your package gets processed.
- Please weigh the risks and rewards, also, the pros vs the cons and make your decision wisely. If the time is not right (peak of summer), you can purchase a small quantity locally and place your current order on hold and arrange to have it shipped when the weather is more suitable.
Seasonal Suggestions
- We encourage our customers who order temperature sensitive medicine during the hot summer months or the cold winter months to use the Mobile Fridge option.
- We DO encourage our clients to order enough in spring to last the summer and enough in the fall to last the winter. Avoid ordering during the extremes of season.
- We do understand that not all people can afford to do this, due to budget purposes. As a result we package the medicine with styrofoam insulation and extra ice packs as an optional upgrade for an extra $15.
- Please check and consider your local temperature. Specifically for the week that follows the time your order was placed. Generally speaking, that is the time it will take to arrive.
- Please try to properly time your orders with us, as we will ship upon your request. We know the importance of this medicine, and rely on you, the consumer, to tell us the right time to ship the temperature medicine to you as all states and cities are different.
Risks
- There is risk, when ordering temperature sensitive medications, and the risk is yours.
- There is a very small chance something may go wrong (FDA seizure, postal error, medicine exposed to improper temperature) and we are upfront that if any of that happens it is not our responsibility.
- Our responsibility is to process and dispense the medicine quickly and properly , provide you with all the education as a pharmacy should.
- Because we sell it at a wholesale price, and since there is no insurance possible on cross border prescription medication, there is a no refund policy.
