Shipping
Cold chain shipping
Some medicinal ingredients are susceptible to damage from heat, light and handling. Using "cold chain" delivery, specialised medical couriers have temperature regulated boxes and vehicles to ensure that the medicine is uncompromised. For that reason, cold chain shipping can be more expensive than regular shipping.
Your order will be shipped to you by our partner couriers, such as DHL, UPS and specialised cold chain couriers. If you would like your order to be shipped by a specific courier, please inform us when you place the order.
Our standard delivery time varies from 5 to 10 working days.
The shipping cost depends on the medicine and the destination country. After making an enquiry, you will receive a detailed quote that includes the shipping costs.
You can also pick up your medicine from our partner pharmacy in Amsterdam or our partner pharmacy in Luxembourg after the order has been paid for.
