UK Delivery

TravelPharm is a registered UK pharmacy and operates from our base in the East Midlands. As a registered UK pharmacy, the medicines we retail can only be shipped to UK addresses.

All our parcels are shipped in non-branded discreet plain packaging for your peace of mind, but we reserve the right to use any packaging we deem appropriate.

It is important to note that we have a handling time of 24-72 hours and this time is in addition to the courier service you select at checkout. These turnaround times are a guide and will frequently be bettered, however, on odd occasions it may be longer.

TravelPharm is a pharmacy and many of the products we sell require additional personal information. This could be information about you and your health. As stated in our privacy policy this data is held and treated with the strictest of confidence but is essential for us to ensure safe online retail of medicines. This information needs to be processed by a qualified member of the team and so shipping and delivery dates are estimates and not guaranteed.

TravelPharm is proud to use Royal Mail as their preferred delivery partner for nearly 100% of our parcels. Royal Mail delivers Monday – Friday and occasionally on Saturdays. They do not deliver on Sundays.

TravelPharm will endeavour to provide fast shipping but we will not be held responsible for any losses that should occur if your order does not arrive in time. The guaranteed service is only guaranteed for the loss of the product and the cost of the service. The guarantee does extend to expenses accrued by you the customer as a direct result of shipping delays.

BFPO (British Forces Post Office)

Regretfully, we do not ship to BFPO addresses.

European and International Deliveries

TravelPharm does not ship to addresses outside of the United Kingdom. This is because medicines licenced for use in the UK may not be licenced in the destination country. This is a restriction placed on pharmacies by one of our regulators the MHRA.
