## Scores

| Criterion | Score | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Clinical quality | 4/5 | A licensed pharmacy with pharmacist access. No prescribing service. |
| Transparency | 4.2/5 | Prices shown before checkout, including any membership-linked discount. |

| Experience | 4.6/5 | The strongest part of the offering — familiar checkout, tracking and delivery. |
| Privacy | 3.5/5 | Prescription data sits with a company whose core business is advertising and retail. Read the current policy carefully. |

**Overall: 4/5**

## Verdict

A competent, convenient mail-order pharmacy that does the ordinary things well. It is rarely the cheapest option and rarely the most expensive. If the frictionless experience is worth a modest premium to you, it is a reasonable choice — but check a discount card and a transparent-pricing pharmacy first, because the difference on a generic can be larger than people expect. The privacy consideration is worth a genuine moment's thought given what a prescription list reveals.

## Who it suits

| Good fit | Poor fit |
| --- | --- |
| People who already have a membership and value the workflow | Anyone optimising purely for the lowest price |
| Regular repeat prescriptions where delivery is convenient | Anyone who needs medication today |
| People managing several prescriptions in one place | Anyone uncomfortable with prescription data held by a large retailer |

## Before you transfer a prescription

- [ ] Price the same drug, strength and quantity with a discount card and a transparent-pricing pharmacy.
- [ ] Check whether the best price requires a membership you would not otherwise hold.
- [ ] Confirm delivery timescales against when you actually need it.
- [ ] Read the current privacy policy, specifically on how prescription data is used.
- [ ] Check that your state and medication are supported.

## Frequently asked questions

It is a mail-order model, so no. For immediate supply you need a retail pharmacy.

Yes, as with any legitimate pharmacy. Anything selling prescription medication without one is operating illegally.
