Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 90 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently encountered significant difficulties with the online ordering system, struggling to place repeat prescriptions due to a confusing website design and non-functional features. Many also reported issues with customer service, describing it as unhelpful, slow, and hard to reach a live person, often leading to frustration when trying to resolve problems with their orders. Reviewers also faced substantial problems with product delivery and accuracy, including delayed or missing vital medications, incorrect items being dispatched, and issues with product quality. The overall service has been described as deteriorating, especially for those who transitioned from other providers, with many feeling the company is not fit for purpose and expressing a strong desire to avoid using it again.

Dishonourable company

Placed orders with the advertised discount code on Pharmacy2go website. They completely cancelled my orders without giving any reasons just because they did not want to honour the discount codes. Just dishonourable company looking to make maximum profit part of chemist direct. Will not place any more orders with them!

I am deeply dissatisfied with this…

I am deeply dissatisfied with this company. They consistently demonstrate poor reliability, misleading customers with deceptive information and actions that contradict their promises. On multiple occasions, they have cancelled medication prescriptions, only to be instructed to re-enter them, only to cancel again. They've also claimed medications were out of stock when they were, in fact, available.

This company seems to selectively choose which prescriptions they wish to process, particularly avoiding critical medications, which disrupts their system and causes unnecessary delays. Their business model appears designed to prioritize easier tasks while ignoring more urgent needs, ultimately compromising patient care.

Communication is shockingly poor. Customer service is unresponsive, and they often fail to return calls. Even more concerning, they strategically cancel orders and shift the blame, making it your responsibility to resolve issues that were entirely their fault.

Upon further investigation, it’s clear that this company has manipulated reviews to present a more favorable image on some links, attempting to erase negative feedback?

They’ve wasted my time, as well as my doctor’s, and based on others’ experiences, they have put vulnerable individuals who rely on medication at serious risk.

I am closing my account and will ensure that this review stands, no matter how much they try to suppress it. I strongly advise others to avoid this company at all costs.

Hopelessly over complicated site and bad service

Transferred to this company when Lloyds Direct closed. Website is way over-complicated - it is not possible to resolve the simplest thing easily. My husband (I was termed his ‘carer’! - we didn’t know why) was constantly receiving incorrect reminders via my account - and so he decided to use our local pharmacy. The trouble I’ve had to get this across to P2U. Not a simple matter of closing account. No easy way to do this on line, by email or to contact anyone by phone. Nothing so simple - merely to option to supply details all over again and wait for a call back. Still suppose it keeps call centre staff in a job unneccessarily! I’ve deleted all his meds and hope this will solve problem. USELESS

No medication received

We used these once and this was enough..
We ordered.. but couldn't input payment details into the app so had to call.. that was stressful in its self. When spoke to them they said they ordered the meds and would be delivered.. nothing,, went back on app.. it had been deleted and money was back in my account. So called them again. NO unable to deliver those meds so just cancelled with no knowledge.. in the end we had our doctor trying to contact them for the prescription back. NEVER AGAIN.. Totally stressful..

Awful service

Awful service, takes days to send medication and have sent medication that requires a chilled temperature without a cold pack! Lloyds was much better than this.

Absolutely useless would not recommend

Absolutely useless would not recommend, stick with your local pharmacy more friendly and efficient. I put my prescription in on the Thursday didn't here from them for another week only for them to say order not in stock had to wait another 8 days but I needed important said item. Would not recommend support your local pharmacy or they will close.

We try to save on waste by creating more waste???

I used to get my medication from Lloyds direct and never had an issue. Now since they became part of this group it's been terrible. I used to get one of my medication in it's original box and a part box with no issue, now they take them out the original box and spread them into 6 boxes and cut up the blister packs into small 2 and 4 capsules packs.
So they have now increased waste boxes for no reason and someone has to spend time cutting up blister packs for no reason. Their reason is to save waste I was told. She didn't see how it was creating more waste of boxes and labour.
People wonder why the NHS is losing money, this is one reason. It's just mind boggling how stupid this is and I'm now looking to get my medication from somewhere else.

Reminder System totally inadequate

Reminder System totally inadequate, No previous Order date on some medication. Get someone in too write your IT Program as its crap. The previous provider, Lloyds had it sorted not complicated or difficult and giving the right information. Who Quality reviews your output before its put to public use, No-one I would guess.

Appalling service

Appalling service - ordered my prescription a month ago, it's been cancelled 3 times and delayed 4 times, I still have not received it. I had to arrange an emergency prescription as I had completely run out

As a previous customer of Lloyds

As a previous customer of Lloyds, my account was transferred to Pharmacy2u. Lloyds provided an excellent service, simple to use with straightforward reminders to order medication. The new system is far too complicated.

Terrible company

Terrible company. Never get reminders. Takes much longer for prescriptions to arrive than Lloyd’s direct. Not showing all prescriptions. Have to manually input some medications despite having previously ordered. Lloyd’s direct are far better and their app is much better than Pharmacy 2 U app.

I am a previous Lloyds Direct customer…

I am a previous Lloyds Direct customer which was taken over by Pharmacy2U and their reminder system is absolute rubbish. They need to take a good look at the excellent Lloyds website and consider changes. With Lloyds I never had to think about reordering tablets because they told me in good time, even if tablets were ordered every one or two months. With Pharmacy they seem to think that all your tablets are ordered at the same time. I just hate their website and will have to consider a different company.

Terrible unsafe practice!!!

Terrible unsafe practice!!!! I work in a GP practice and this pharmacy has left a patient without regular medication which is essential for the patient!! They have had the prescription for 2 weeks!! When you ring through they are not helpful and will not put you through to a manager!! I asked for the Superintendent pharmacist and got the answer back “we have many pharmacists”

Been a customer since pre Covid and until recently very happy in general, other than constant reminders to order when I do not need anything. However they use Royal Mail to deliver and recently this has been dreadful. Email the day before telling me to expect delivery by 3pm ….. no delivery ! Then another email saying the same for the next day. Total waste of 2 days sitting waiting for nothing. Shambles.

Please avoid!

For some reason, despite putting my HRT on a separate order with nothing else on it, I was made to pay the £20 for it (despite having a prepaid certificate and on the premise that I would get a refund). Two weeks on, I still have no refund. Sent a message via the chat/email and it took nearly a week for an answer, in the meantime I called, and the representative told me I would have to wait until the end of October and that it's the NHS's fault, which is not true.
This has never happened in the past and can only think it's due to the Pharmacy 2U takeover. I think this is ridiculous, it shouldn't take three weeks to refund someone.
As a result, this will be the last order made with Lloyds Direct/Pharmacy2U.

~£10 to sign up but nowhere to enter the code!

They say sign up for £10 off but there's nowhere to enter the code they send you. It does say 'express checkout with Paypal' but should I gamble and press it? It might take me back to the checkout page so I can enter my code but to me 'express checkout' means, I'll pay without getting my £10 off - and the reviews on here overwhelmingly say 'can't contact' so you know what? I'm not going to gamble my money - I'll just go to Boots and pay the little bit extra. If you don't sort this out on your checkout page you'll find hundreds of other customers doing the same. You deserve what you get if you can't even do a simple thing to look after your customers.

Terrible

All medicines in same white boxes with tiny writing. No reminders to reorder, Logging in to account hit or miss.
If you take several medicines impossible to keep track of deliveries and orders. Lloyd’s Dirct app worked much better. Pharmacy2U app needs redesigning to make it user friendly. Overall a terrible experience.

Unreliable

Three repeat prescription orders so far. The first started out with 5 items but one disappeared at some stage and had to be reordered. the second order for 5 items was fine. Of the most recent order for 5 items four have now disappeared. Will need to phone and find out what has happened. Does not inspire confidence, seriously considering ditching them and finding someone more reliable.
