You haven't cause anything. Not your fault at all, and yes, they did send it the $20 way. The tracking number is funky. I've never seen a tracking number that looked like this: 1.9153457680380409406+16 (Have you?) Maybe the number is mixed up in there someway, but I'd have better luck playing the lottery than trying to dig out a valid tracking number from what they sent.
Thanks for your help over the weekend, Chris. Can't blame any of this on you and I don't. Stuff happens. And when you are dealing with thousands of people, there's bound to be a few pains (like me).
I've plowed down a few mailboxes in my life, and I've had mine plowed down by others. When you get something fixed, something else breaks. That's life.

Is that possibly the correct tracking number, it's just given in scientific notation instead of base 10 (base 10 are regular numbers), scientific notation you do the number times 10^(exponent).
I think it could just be some part of their tracking number form is parsing the number incorrectly.
So maybe your tracking number is 1.9153457680380409406 * 10^16?
Dunno- just a guess.

Looks like it, doesn't it. Actually I've already thought of this and actually tried it. (For privacy, I did not post the actual number they gave me) I did, however, try to decipher it into something that even resembled a fedex tracking number. No luck. Their numbers usually begin with a "7". It would be helpful to know the tracking number so that I could make arrangements for someone to be here when it was delivered.

lastyls,
The "post" icon is still where it always is?? Maybe this was just a problem last night when they were making the changes? Strange.

The prices for the meds are posted on NWW's website: www.norcoworldwide.com the prices posted are the same for both St. Pete's and Unipharm.
Hope this helps.

Okay, here's the update. After all the fedex fiasco and being sent an e-mail claiming that it was sent by fedex on Friday, I find out today that it was actually sent by UPS. I could have picked it up at the hub on Saturday or this morning before the trucks left the hub, but I thought that it was sent by fedex. Oh, well,,,now I have to play the waiting game for the truck to show up. So much to do, but can't do it because I have to wait.

On the price list, especially the hydrocodone meds, it doesn't include the amount of Acetaminophen. Is it possible to include that? A lot of us are concerned about the amount of acetaminophen in the meds that we use, and in case someone wants to order that type of med from NWW I think it's important to list it. Does the "Norco 10" mean 10/325's?

The prices on the NWW site are not fully updated yet. As of this morning, Chris PM'd me telling me his IT developer is having some problems and is out of the office, so the price list hasn't been fully changed yet, although Chris has the new prices he can give you by PM upon request.
Chris told me he manually changed the generic norco 10 price on the site since it is so popular, but the other price on the site are not updated yet. I asked him to post an update on here when the prices on the price tab of his web site are all updated with new prices.
Chris told me that prices have dropped across the board. Can you imagine? Great reliability, great customer service, Chris as a fallback safety net, a new pharmacy dedicated to NWW customers, cheaper FEDEX shipping AND LOW MED PRICES....NWW is going to definately continue to gain market share in the OP world with this business model and their new low prices.
Here are the details for the popular Norco 10 med:
The old price for Generic Norco 10/325 was $110 for #120 which NWW just dropped by $20 to: $90 !!!
This is a great price for generic norco 10/325 and makes them very competitive. Most places, like TDI and United, charge around $100 for this quantity and several OPs charge more. The cheapest place out there that alot of people used to use before their regulatory problems left alot of people in limbo (and now waiting a few months to see what happens), Woody's, charges around $88, but their shipping costs are higher...so you pay more in total, plus you get the North Carolina regulatory uncertainty that may cause Woody's customers alot of headaches in a month or two....
TOTAL COST FOR NORCO 10
Combined with the new cheaper FedEx shipping that Chris negotiated and lowered a few weeks ago, you can now get #120 generic Norco 10/325 with Standard OVERNIGHT Fed Ex for a TOTAL of only $110 !
($90 for the meds and $20 for the shipping)
Thanks Chris!

I agree that they should change the descriptions to be clearer when they update the prices this week. To answer your specific question, Norco 10 on their site is Norco 10/325.

I am just waiting for my developer; I run at a much faster pace!
the 10/325 is changed on the backend (I did it myself), but you can't see it yet, or the shipping!

I understand the point that the tylenol content should be listed, but at the same time I think we should all know the drugs ourselves. If you're taking a drug you should try to educate yourself about it as much as you can. For every different version of tylenol content there is a matching brand name. If you googled the brand name it will tell you the amount of tylenol contained in different hydrocodone combinations.
Here are the few I know:
Norco 5/325, 7.5/325, 10/325
Lortab 5/500, 10/500 (I've also seen regular vicodin with the 5/500--so I'm not positive)
Lorcet 10/650 (or maybe 660)
Vicodin ES 7.5/750
Zydone 10/400
Vicoprofin (sp?) 7.5/200 (ibruprofen not tylenol)
Maxidone 10/1000 (I think I got this from a dentist once)
Vicodin HP (I don't remember off hand)
and many more...
Anyway, my point is, learn the brand name of your hydrocodone combination, just try to learn everything you can about your meds, it's very improtant to know what your putting into your body. Also, doctor's will be familiar with the brand name when you have to talk baout it with them or request it. It aslo helps when a dcotor, for example, prescribes you Vicodin ES and you know you don't need that much Tylenol, then you can ask for another brand and be able to tell why...that's just one little example. I think most of us would just be happy with what we get.
Sorry for the ramble, I just think it's really important to know this stuff, it is for me at least. But then again this medical stuff just really interests me.
Take Care,
Myrrine

Hi All,
Is there a NWW thread dedicated only to NWW now? I've been away for a few days and thought I read that in another string. Can someone guide me to this new area if it exists?
Thanks,
Renolite

Can anyone tell me the name that Unipharm bills to on the credit card? St. Pete's is so generic a name it doesn't draw attention to itself. You may PM me if this would be TMI to post!
