Question Boys and Gals,
My GrandMa has a PO BOX in Seattle and I want to get HYDRO sent to it.
Can she bring it up or should I get her to FedEx it from Seattle to here (Canada,BC) cause I'd rather not Fedex, TIME and MONEY when she could just bring it up.
Does anyone know about this, I wanted to order from RxbetterDeals or somewhere like that? Do they even send to PO BOX???

if better RX is a US based op then you are SOL!!! They wont send to POs.
You are also not supposed to have mail going to your po box addressed to someone else.

Instead of the PO box, I would go find out where the main FEDEX hub closest to where you need to go and have it held at the hub for you. I have done this with all my shipments, very handy, good luck!

What if they won't send by FedEx??? And then how will I get it to CANADA?? Cause the PO Box is right accross the boarder from me, it's only a 45 mins to an hour drive from BC.

Ok. Here's what you do. Find the UPS or Fedex hub in the town where Grammy lives. Get the address. Then, when placing your order use that address. Your phone # will be on the package and they will call you when it is in. Use Grammy's phone # if yours is in Canada. I have had MANY packages sent directly to the hub and have never had a problem.
As far as getting it into Canada.....well, can't help you there. It doesn't matter how it gets to you, either po box or hub, you're still going to have to get it over the boarder. Then again, if it's in the rx bottle with your name on it then I don't think you can get in any trouble.
Anyone else know about that?
Hope this helps,
Pickledoo

I'm not trying to be a smart @$$ but if they don't use FedEx then look for the closest UPS hub. The same thought process could work and you don't have to involve your grandmother in something that is for all intents and purposes illegal. And remember that your bringing her into it b/c handling it yourself is not as convenient. If I were you, I would call UPS at 1-800-PICK-UPS (742-5877) - Domestic Services and ask what HUB is closest to you. It may be closer than 45 minutes. And I would be glad to call for you if you left grandma out of it. Just let me know what city you're in.
As to how you would bring these items into Canada, my first question is if you're worried about how you will bring a bottle of hydro with your name on it back through customs then why aren't you concerned about what would happen to your grandmother? I admittedly am not familiar with the laws regarding importation of hydro into Canada so I don't know if you can bring a legal script back or not. That said, you could always fedex it to yourself once you drive down to pick it up at the hub.
Like I said, I would be happy to call UPS for you. You should really consider just leaving grandma out of this. That could end up being a situation you might heartily regret if something went wrong.

That was my question in the first place. Not wanting her to get her into trouble to run it if she isn't allowed. That's why I ask for knowledge on if she can or i'd just get her to send it to me instead of bringing it.
But it seems and also why I asked.. "much appreciated by the way" the FedEx hub sounds like something I'll look into because I have a percocet/oxycet 5mg oxycodone 325mg acet right now from my DOC nice i might say but don't think he'll keep it up.
What would be the best way to keep getting refills for it??? Because I get it for back/neck/shoulder pains which inturn gives me migraines.
What would you say to him>>???
