Get Ahead of Price Increases, Drug Shortages and Postal Slowdowns and Upload Your Prescriptions Online
We've been advising customers to be prepared for possible price increases of prescription drugs worldwide and to be aware about drug shortages occurring during the pandemic.
As a result of the Covid-19-related shocks to integrated pharmaceutical production systems, serious concerns have been expressed by drug manufacturers, the American Medical Association, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and pharmacists in the United Kingdom and Canada about the disruption in the supply of pharmaceuticals since the coronavirus crisis began. In fact, we recently featured a Canadian pharmacist on the television news confirming prescription drug shortages, 'across the board'.
Earlier this week our newsletter considered whether cutbacks announced by USPS will impact delivery times.
… we may only be able to maintain the lower shipping fee of today for a limited time.
It may seem counterintuitive with the slower delivery service from postal agencies during the pandemic, but we are incurring significantly higher shipping rates when shipping customer parcels. Yet we've reduced our shipping fee to help minimize the impact on our customers and make it easier to order their medications now. But we do not know what further Covid-19 surcharges or other rate increases we will face in the coming weeks so we may only be able to maintain the lower shipping fee of today for a limited time.
Please take advantage of the potentially time-limited reduced shipping fee and don't wait for product price increases, more pharmaceutical shortages or delivery systems to experience further delays as the coronavirus is spreading again. We encourage customers who may need medications in the coming months to place their orders now.
