Drug Shortages 'Across the Board'

There is a reason we keep updating customers about drug shortages and that is because we are very concerned about them.

Canadian pharmacies are speaking to CityNews in Toronto and raising awareness about the drug shortages that they are seeing 'across the board' for a vast array of medical conditions, as seen in the video story below. They say the shortages are being exacerbated by the coronavirus crisis and the cause of the shortages relates to the reliance upon ingredients from China and India to make most pharmaceuticals drugs.

NorthWestPharmacy.com has been advising customers about all this since the pandemic began in North America so that customers can plan and order their medicines ahead of time, while they are still available.

We observe that out of stock pharmaceuticals are at an all time high worldwide and we've been updating customers about this weekly. We are not the only ones who are concerned. So are drug manufacturers, the American Medical Association, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other pharmacists in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Delivery Times are Equally Important to Your Personal Prescription Drug Supply

Current and future impacts to worldwide delivery systems are equally important to your personal prescription drug supply. Last week we shared news from the Wall Street Journal that these systems are 'bogged down', which is resulting in extended delivery times of packages. With coronavirus caseloads skyrocketing and states rolling back re-openings or going back into lockdown again, we remain concerned about delivery times.

The current average delivery time from order placement is four to seven weeks. Please note that these are the average delivery timelines we are observing but some parcels are arriving as quickly as a week after shipping while others can take more than seven weeks.

While the good news is that NorthWestPharmacy.com has been successfully taking, processing and delivering affordable prescription drugs throughout the entire coronavirus crisis and continues to, we do not want our customers to be in a position where procurement of inventory and delivery times could be more negatively impacted than they already are today and we believe it is our duty to diligently inform customers.

Take Advantage of the Reduced Shipping Fee While It Is Available

Despite soaring shipping rates, we've reduced our shipping fee to help minimize the impact on our customers 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 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 and those whose pending orders await shipping to keep their orders active and in the queue, which ensures they are locked in at the original price quoted at the time of placing the order. That's beneficial to you because we've absorbed much of the coronavirus-related increases in product acquisition and shipping costs that we've faced to date but may be unable to do so for much longer. Also, the limited pharmaceutical supply, available cargo space for transport and customs clearances will all be allocated to customers on a first-come-first-served basis and we anticipate that it may be quite some time before worldwide drug supply and delivery systems return to normal.
