Medexpress- prescribing? Delivering?

327 replies

Fabulouslytwee · 20/08/2025 18:32

Has anyone has an order prescribed since Friday? They are not replying- or even receiving emails due to the volume, so now I’m getting worried. Is there any way they could be pocketing the money and not delivering? The process was so fast before the price increase news, and now it’s a brick wall. I’m at the end of a pen and nothing to use next. As well as going away for a week, so anxious it’ll be warm and wasted. Any updates from Medexpress people would be appreciated!

This is so weird. Regular customer here and ordered 15th Aug and still saying awaiting clinical review - strange that some are just getting sent out and some are not!

Me too...same situation as you.

TheGoodEnoughWife · 20/08/2025 21:52

I have emailed and received a reply. Asked for it to be sorted or they can refund. No mention of refund in their email just a ‘everything is taking longer’ push back - not for everyone it would seem!

I ordered a 5mg on Thursday as soon as I heard the price news. It was awaiting clinical review until today when it progressed to dispatched. Hoping I might be able to squeeze one more order in before the hike.

afaloren · 20/08/2025 22:11

Mine has been prescribed but not out for delivery yet. I ordered last Thursday.

Ezzalouxoxo · 20/08/2025 22:16

I saw someone say they are sold out and awaiting stock, maybe yours is on back order, it’s a shame they aren’t replying but I think loads have been panic buying and they can’t cope with demand

Mine still says in clinical review, but when I click on track delivery it says it has been dispatched.

fingers crossed!

ordered on Friday

Mine is the same , ordered Thurs says it’s still awaiting review but when I click on it there’s a tracking number but worse it says the sender dispatched it on Friday…..but it hasn’t arrived yet! Am in a panic now as am going on holiday in a week. If it had been dispatched on Fri it should be here now, i don’t want a warm pen.

Choccyface · 20/08/2025 23:12

Same here - so frustrating as I run out next week - am going away Fri-Mon and no one is around to take the parcel in if it gets delivered

Cabinfever20 · 21/08/2025 00:16

@thecomedyofterrors. Yes I used the hello@ address. They were still emailing me about my question after the pen had been dispatched and didn’t appear to know!
Different depts not communicating.

My order also is pending but ‘track delivery’ says it was dispatched minutes after I placed my order on Thursday and Royal Mail is waiting to receive it. Is it too cynical of me to think that orders have been marked immediately as dispatched so Medexpress can avoid refunding customers?

Exactly the same for me. I was pending approval yesterday. I screenshot that. Yesterday evening it's marked as sent but like you it was marked as dispatched as soon as I ordered it. But Royal mail are waiting for it. No emails at all to update me

NotPerfectlyAdverage · 21/08/2025 09:01

I quired why it was showing as not approved yesterday but out for delivery since Saturday.

Got a reply saying they will look into it but it's very generic and doesn't answer my question at all

QuebecBagnet · 21/08/2025 13:16

Just got an email saying it’s just been prescribed and they’ll let me know when dispatched. Which is odd seeing as they previously said on Friday it had been dispatched 🤷‍♀️

Marylou2 · 21/08/2025 13:17

Ordered Monday. Still in review. They've taken my money though.

Hope it arrives before your holiday! Has the royal mail tracking data changed?

Macdaddy5 · 21/08/2025 15:47

Ordered 7.5mg Wednesday, coming tomorrow. I’m titrating down now so also ordered 5mg today. Still in clinical review.

Poodlelove · 21/08/2025 16:14

I am a regular customer.
I think they are prioritising new customers.
My order was 11th August, they complained about my photos 8 times.
I offered to send a naked picture in the end because they were silly reasons each time.
I have sent 9 emails and told them about this thread and asked if they were going out of business and should I go elsewhere.
I know they are probably not but it seems very odd

LadyClumber · 21/08/2025 16:26

I'm also a regular customer. Despite Medexpress telling me on Monday that my 14/08 (repeat) 5mg order was confirmed and no further information required, today they emailed to say that I needed to send additional photographs. I have never been asked for additional information on any of my earlier repeat orders so have cancelled and am getting a refund. Will be changing supplier for my next pen.

NotPerfectlyAdverage · 21/08/2025 17:19

Gone from.awaiting approval on Tuesday, to approved and out of delivery. To not approved again today. Yesterday it said the tracking was created the day I ordered. So I queried this last night. Low and behold, they are full of smoke and mirrors. That's three orders awaiting approval since Thursday. Thankfully I ordered from four suppliers or I'd have no next pen. I don't want four pens. I just want one and some honesty. Thank god I did as I'm out of order period now. How can they approve them now

Bellyblueboy · 21/08/2025 17:34

I am in maintenance and had planned to transfer to a cheaper supplier this month - but figured given the rush it was safer to stick with MedExpress. Might have been a mistake.

i also don’t think they will allow me to switch to Wygovey with my healthy BMI

Yes. Says it’s arriving tomorrow

NotPerfectlyAdverage · 21/08/2025 17:52

IQ Dr has rejected my order as its passed four weeks dispite being my last supplier.they want to restart at 5mg.i have explained that I didn't start as soon as I got my first.pen. see what they say

thecomedyofterrors · 21/08/2025 18:43

I am worried about no refund and no pen now too. They’ve not replied to 4/5 email enquires over the last week. I will call tomorrow.

Has anyone a new supplier they recommend? Thank you.

Poodlelove · 21/08/2025 18:57

Just had an email and notification to say that they don't have my weight , height and starting weight , which I gave them on the 11th .
The notification had said it was waiting for review but they can't review it with the information , so gave it again.
Fed up with it now.
Might use Orlistat again , it did work when I took it and it's cheap.

ellieinfrance · 21/08/2025 19:02

Ordered Mon 10.30pm, delivered weds. 7.5 pen

Macdaddy5 · 21/08/2025 19:15

Macdaddy5 · 21/08/2025 15:47

Ordered 7.5mg Wednesday, coming tomorrow. I’m titrating down now so also ordered 5mg today. Still in clinical review.

Now had email saying 5mg delayed 7 - 10 days. No great rush.

afaloren · 21/08/2025 19:26

My pen was delivered today, so a week from ordering. Not bad. I didn’t get the usual ‘your order has been dispatched’ email just a text from Royal Mail today saying it would be delivered! Luckily someone was in.
