Need a good national pharmacy chain

3 people in our household are on multiple, regular meds and I am at the end of my tether with our pharmacy.

All I need is someone who can reliably re-order meds and deliver them regularly. It's the same meds every time so it really shouldn't be difficult, but somehow our pharmacy manages to mess it up every time.

If you have a recommendation I'd love to hear it before I lose my mind!

Just a note to say that I sympathise. We did use the Kings Pharmacy chain for years for DP's but they struggled to find delivery drivers/bikers. Ultimately, we used a local independent pharmacy.

I had the opposite problem the pharmacy next to my Gp,s was a chain pharmacy and were terrible for getting meds on time
I now use an independent pharmacy [ also have three members of my family) on regular medication and they are very efficient.

Thanks both. This is a small chain we are with currently, started out well but now don't call us when meds are out of stock, tell us it's on a repeat prescription when it isn't so invariably we fail to order before it runs out, sent the wrong meds , say we've collected it when we haven't- the list goes on! There's a small independent near us but we had similar issues with them and they don't deliver.

I hear you but I think it's trial and error sadly sometimes chains are better than independent ,s and vice versa.
