Lots of very useful discussions going on on the old thread, so I thought I would continue it!

I ordered a 10mg from Curate and a 10mg from The Family Chemist on the 15th August.

Curate have delivered today, but the Family Chemist order is still at 'processing' ...Would be nice if these companies kept you updated.

My order of 2 x 15mg pens from Thursday afternoon has been approved, but not my morning order - all from Oushk. I guess they’re just working through them in a weird order. I wonder if it’ll be delivered on time

But didn't they change it to a maximum of 2 pens per person. That would tally with 2 pens being approved.

Anyone who ordered when 3 pens were allowed was told that all their orders would be honoured.

I have a stone left to lose, so I'm hoping to do 8-10mg for a while, and then taper down with the second pen.

I'm gutted, was looking forward to microdosing and finding a happy balance.

I honestly don’t know , they messaged and asked for proof of previous prescription which i sent then was just cancelled , almost immediately after ?
Been on 12.5 for 2 months already , no health issues .
Im not an existing customer of theirs but it’s frustrating that they let me put order in , pay , provide proof etc to then pull the rug ! I have emailed their customer service to ask for an explanation so will update if I get one

Edited

Well a little update from me , they have emailed and said I don’t count as an existing customer as my last order wasn’t within 6 months ( missed it by approx 2 weeks ) so basically they went through everything with me to then say no ! If I was a betting woman i’d say that they’ve realised they can sell for higher price so cancelling the cheaper ones! Prices are changing rapidly , daily in fact .
This was pharmacy2u for info . Sat on my money for over a week ( still no refund showing ) to then cancel ! Grrrrr

My oushk order isn’t until end of next week, I had assumed that they weren’t double selling what they had and had allocated their stock to the orders so that email meant they couldn’t fulfil new orders? I’ve moved one order back to October as they requested people to do to free up slots. I’ll be cross if I then don’t get my orders because they took my order and money and then sent out the stock to other people.

I did the same. Got one coming next week and changed other order to Oct. delivery date as they requested.
I have 3 doses left in my only pen :(

That’s shit and that money takes so long to refund back when it literally leaves your account straight away.

Were they only selling to existing customers by the time you ordered?

I’d hazard that they’ve actually taken more orders than stock and now been told they can’t get more stock until after the 1st so they’re having to cancel anyone who doesn’t quite meet the requirements. Wholesalers have put stops on order fulfilment for pharmacies on the instructions of Eli Lilly.

Hi all. I’ve also posted this on the >5st thread. I haven’t been able to place an order since the price increases were announced as I haven’t been home for more than a day to take a delivery. I’m usually loyal to Medicine Marketplace but they are completely OOS in all doses. Please can anyone recommend somewhere with 5mg in stock? Not MedExpress or affiliates please!

IQ Dr are offering me 5mg as I have gone over 4 weeks between orders so won't give me my 10mg

NotPerfectlyAdverage · 21/08/2025 18:01

I mean 12.5mg pen

Fatbride · 21/08/2025 18:06

I too was going to suggest IQ doctor. They cancelled one of my orders last week as they ran out of stock of 12.5 but I managed to place an order for 15mg today and it was approved within an hour. Just an FYI there's a problem with their file uploads, I had to phone them and they told me to send the photos via email.

This happened to me today too. I’ve replied to say that my current pen is a 12.5mg and I’d like to reduce to 10mg as I’m finding the suppression and side effects too much. They’ve not got back to me yet.

worriedMiL33 · 21/08/2025 10:11

If anyone is looking for 12.5mg they're still available £229.99.

No discount available.(even for regular customers)

If you're a new customer, they require full length front with face and a side-on photo. They also need your Dr.'s details

Click is now showing all doses "in stock" (only had 12.5mg on Monday) but they've bumped up the prices.

5mg £169.99
7.5mg £179.99
12.5mg £239.99
15mg £289.99

Notsuchafattynow · 21/08/2025 18:59

I ordered with Oushk last Thursday afternoon and only got approved yesterday and keeping to the planned delivery of Friday. Maybe they are working to delivery date rather than order date?

I am a maintenance customer.

FurForksSake · 21/08/2025 19:10

@Notsuchafattynow that’s how oushk have always been for me, approved just before dispatch not at the time of ordering.

LifeOfAShowGirl · 21/08/2025 19:15

They’ve finally approved my second order! Never had it left this late

Mine is also pending! Ive sent several messages and phone lines are down. Lets hope for the best and that the orders are eventually honoured.

When I try and check my dashboard it just says a 404 error 😫

They've got my cash so they better deliver!! I’ve sent messages to the support but not had a response.

They’ve never been this busy, I imagine. They have always approved just before dispatch for me, so I wasn’t too worried when I didn’t hear from them. I ordered at the height of the price panic (skilfully added to and whipped up to a frenzy on this forum, I might add). Delivery due today, heard they had approved on Wednesday and had an email confirming it had been sent out yesterday. No dramas.

JasonTindallsTan · 22/08/2025 09:34

All those waiting on Your Medicals, please keep me updated, I’d be really grateful. I paid on my credit card so will just open a dispute if needed but if orders do start to arrive I will hang fire as I have three weeks left of current pen.

Mencia · 22/08/2025 10:17

I’m still waiting from news from Boots (no stock) and my friend has not had any update at all from Lotus.
Monthly orders in both cases, not related to last week’s panic. Ordered when prompted by them.
