A calm and supportive thread to discuss the Price Increases: Mounjaro

[TryingAgainAgainAgain]

For anyone who would like a calmer place to share support and information about the price increases.

Yes, exactly, that's why there seem to be no stock problems in Ireland, it proves your point. There has probably not been a surge in demand here, or not a comparable one anyway. I was already paying around €250 a month and it doesn't look like it's going up for now.

I think Lilly have confirmed the rises are just for the UK

They don't appear to. You can see their emails here: community.oushkpharmacy.com/c/emails-newsletters/

The last one they sent (earlier today) says...

Price and Maintenance Updates Coming Soon
New Mounjaro pricing will be shared early next week. We are doing our absolute best to keep this as fair as possible.

In the meantime, you can still order at the current lower prices until Friday 29th August, including for September and later delivery.

Maintenance pricing will also be getting changed and we will share this information out as soon as possible. Anyone who has used a maintenance code in August, can use a standard code to place an order for the extra pen if needed.

Thank you for this @GlassofRosePorfavor . Just ordered 2 x 7.5 for £330. Huge amount of money to spend in one go but not a bad price per pen. Now I just have to wait and see if they arrive or if it's cancelled ......

Turned out me and my mate got duped 🤣

Not sure how you managed if not an existing customer.
Looked myself and its saying only existing customers can order Mounjaro

That’s changed since lunchtime. I was able to apply with a new customer discount at lunchtime today.

@ThatCyanSheep you won’t hear about your order from Oushk till about 3/4 days before it’s due to be delivered, they approve based on your delivery date not your order date.
I was approved on Saturday for a delivery due on the 20th (which I placed 2 days before the whole price issue blew up).

Well its not saying that on the website and hasnt all day ,so how do you know ?
Nobody is answering phones either

I ordered from Chemist4U on Saturday, had a query through that evening to which I replied straight away and I've just had an email to say it's been approved. I have used them previously though, not sure if that makes a difference.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean? Not saying what on website?

My friend also ordered as a new customer this afternoon too. The website was down for a while but when it came back on she could order. It looks to have changed now though.

It seems Novo Nordisk will be cutting the price for wegovy in the US rather than increasing the costs here...

I ordered from Chemists4U on Thurs. Haven’t heard a thing from them yet. Im a new customer for MJ but had an account with them that I’d ordered other things with previously.

@timba Thank you for your reasoned and informative posts (and for your patience in helping keep this thread calm and supportive as intended)

I meant to say before that it's lovely to see some of the "old names" popping up. Good to see you @FlappyFish @Doggymummar @IrisPallida @KrankyKumquat and anyone else who was about early last year

I went to order with Chemist 4 U (I’ve had a pen from them before), but then realised I’m away this weekend. So if there are delays in sending it out, I won’t be around. Frustrating. So I cancelled it.

Ordered a 2 pen bundle from Lotua yesterday but had an email this morning saying they’re now restricting orders to existing customers. I don’t know if that affects me or not as I placed the order before the email but haven’t had it approved yet. So frustrating!

I ordered on Friday evening heard nothing from chem4u. Not impressed at all as I cannot order anything else until I hear from them.

How did you cancel? I could not find the option...

New Oushk customers (transferring over) how have you got deliveries so quickly? I ordered on Friday but the earliest weight verification call isn’t until 25th August so no idea when delivery will be and that’s only one pen. Feel like I’ve done something wrong?

Yeah I’ve been with them a while, but usually by now for a Saturday delivery I’ve heard! I have texted them because I didn’t upload proof of my height, but they did that in my call so I’m hoping that should be enough

I did the same and ordered 2 pens as a new customer yesterday morning. I read the email as me being inclusive of their valued customers and they’ve stopped accepting new people from now. It also says they’re confident they can fulfil all existing orders in it, so hopefully we’ll be ok.

Same here @MissMoggs and @DancingBeeGirl but the money has gone from my account so I think it will be OK.

The email I got from Lotus said :"at this stage, we do not have concerns over stock levels and are confident in their ability to fulfil all existing orders."

It looks like they accepted orders until sometime yesterday afternoon and then stopped taking new customers. So I think you'll be fine. But as a new customers they have to check our details/photos before approving and they're swamped.

Oops, somehow didn’t see @DancingBeeGirl saying the same thing…
