Hi all, I've been a silent member for a while now and really appreciate those that post and moderate.
My wife and I both use Internet Dr's and Rx's and it seems to me that some of the Rx's/Dr's are starting to charge an outrageous amount for overnite shipping. We all know that overnite letters cost between $ 14 and $18 to be charged $ 45 to $ 50 for standard overnite and more for Saturday is way out of line. As a list we have power to change policy and practices. If enough members are interested in a concerted effort to effect these outrageous charges let me know and maybe we together can bring them more in line with reality. Just because we're Internet patients doesnt mean we should stand still and take abuse.
No doubt it seems the less you pay for meds the higher the shipping price. BUT if you spend $280 on 60 Norco's you can have free shipping. They get ya coming and going!!!
IMO, shipping charges are way too high. I recently ordered a replacement part for my computer. It weighed almost two pounds. (my meds always count as one pound). Anyway, I paid $20 for FedEx Priority Overnight shipping! $20 for Priority Overnight, and that wasn't discounted as part of the deal. I was like, wow! I pay $28 for regular UPS Next Day Air Saver everytime I get a refill ($40 for Saturdays!). The pharmacies make so much money on the meds it kinda ticks me off that they routinely hike up the shipping charges like this. Then again a lot of it is my doing. I've gotten into the habit (in business as well as with my meds) of always clicking on Next Day Air. Otherwise I'd spend less than half of what I usually do. No matter how you look at it though, the OP's and pharmacies do take advantage.
BTW, the computer part I mentioned was shipped in a box literally 20 times larger than the part itself. I mention this only because pharmacies generally promise "discreet, confidential packaging", but the meds typically arrive in a rattling, form fitting letter pack with the word "PHARMACY" on the label! If only my meds were shipped in the same type of big box, it just might be worth the extra $$$
