    I checked out Chemist direct and pharmacy to you, shipping to Ireland is very expensive.

    I use http://www.pharmacyfirst.co.uk/ for everything I can, ridiculous savings for stuff, eg generic hayfever tablets 48p compared to €20 here (Zirtec substitute) plus prescription. Basically anything to do with hayfever here is a total rip off :(

    I just look the overall price when buying online. You get people biting off their nose to spite their face and paying more overall for a product since it has "free shipping", or they say the shipping is too high.

    When I ordered from Chemist direct they had a standard postage charge that did not go up, I got stuff for friends & family all in a big heavy box. Same postage price as a single pack of tablets.

    My hayfever & iboprufen was pittance.

    You should be aware of restrictions on importing any medication, the imb (irish medicine board) site should have into.

    Chemist direct have cosmetics and loads of other stuff too.

    I've used this lot a few times and delivery is fast enough (usually 4 or 5 working days). At checkout select the UK delivery option @ £2.50

    I have ordered maybe 3 or 4 times in the last 12 months and selected the £2.50 option and never had a problem. :)

    Stg 2.95 !! Far better than the Stg 8.00 I paid last week, ordered succesfully, shall see how long delivery takes.

    Thanks for that

    You shouldn't have any problems. I'd imagine you would have delivery in the first half of next week. :)

    Glad to hear you got sorted as Im always a wee bit windy about recommending some business or other just in case anyone else would have a bad experience with them.

    The reduced shipping costs is also a factor when buying from online chemists in the UK or indeed anywhere abroad.
