Fastest prescriber of Mounjaro? (Have been let down by MedExpress)

Hi all, I was supposed to start my second pen tomorrow but MedExpress have advised this afternoon that they’re experiencing delays and it won’t be with me until the middle of next week (when I can’t take it, as I need not to be having side effects in work). Has anyone switched and had a fast service? Or is it realistic now to assume anywhere else can do better? (Ie prescribe today deliver Saturday)

SO frustrated. Definitely chose the wrong company 😞

IQ doctor is very good. Ordered tuesday lunchtime, being delivered tomorrow.

Mines always next day from Chequp, but you are going to have to do new patient checks etc so I reckon Wednesday will be soonest.

Ashcroft Pharmacy have been brilliant. Always speedy for me.

Pharmacy2You - were dreadfully slow and disappointing (I had high expectations as they have been faultless with my other different/ GP / NHS statins and prescribed medications)

Probably most of them are faster or at least more consistent than MedExpress.

I've used Asda and Zava, usually gets approved the next day and then 2 days for delivery, but that's working days. And there would be the additional step of checking new patient info, although when I switched to Zava they did that very promptly. I just needed to upload photos which I did straight after ordering and getting the order confirmation.

I was going to say Ashcroft too! I find them great.

Hello - do Ashcroft put the price up after the first order with them or is it steady on the 2.5?

I got my first pen from Farmeci. Ordered last Wednesday night, received on Saturday and I didn’t do express delivery (it was there but I can’t remember the options). I had to do a video and copy of an identity document as well as fill in a form. I was very impressed at how easy it was.

It came wrapped in a wool package with a cool bag insert, needles and wipes.

I was just about to try MedExpress - I won’t bother now.

morbidcuriosity · 06/03/2025 20:30

Chequp is very speedy. I'm in Northern Ireland, ordered Friday and it arrived Saturday morning, we usually have an extra day for delivery of most things so I was v impressed

To be fair I found them good at my first order - I'm just very annoyed they've only just told me about needing this medical confirmation from my GP when I'm needing to order my new pen - I've emailed again asking if I can order and then send it on.. but if they don't reply tomorrow being more helpful, I'm on the shop around..

Not Oushk. First order was fine, second order and the delivery defaulted to over a week ahead. I changed it to two days time and the order has gone through with delivery for a week ahead. Annoyed!

I'm in a similar position , my jab day is tomorrow. . I've ordered some little syringes that will be here tomorrow to get the "bonus dose" out of the end of my pen to tide me over until the next one arrives.

Yes I’ve just done the same despite not wanting to use it that way but it looks like even if I switch provider I’ll be waiting til next week now. Let’s hope we can make those extra doses work!

The prices they say on the site are the prices they charge so very transparent

Mysticmaiden · 06/03/2025 23:11

Pillsorted, on new changing over took a day to approve, only due to waiting on me to finish work and taking photos of current pen, and 24hr delivery. 2nd order approved 6hrs and 24hr delivery.
