Frequently Asked Questions 

How long will it take me to receive my order in the mail?

This depends on your preferred method of delivery and the time you place your order.

Registered Post: Allow 5-8 working days from the time we receive your order, to when it arrives back to you by Australia Post (depending on where you live in Australia) For the Sydney Metro area, allow 2-3 working days from the time we receive your order to when your parcel arrives to you. Please select an address where someone will be able to sign for the parcel when it arrives. Orders can be sent to a business address. 

Express Post: Please allow 1-2 working days from the time that we receive your order to the time it arrives to you (depending on where you live in Australia). Cost: Depends on the weight of the parcel.

Customer To Collect: This is where you place your order and pick it up when it is ready. When ordering, please specify the date and time in which you will pick the order up. Your parcel will be prepared and ready for collection the same day that we receive the order. Cost: The total cost of your order (with NO delivery charge).

Can I order my prescriptions by telephone/fax/online?

Yes you can.

However by law, we can only dispense the original prescription, which must be mailed in to Pharmacy Direct before the prescription can be dispensed.

The order will be held here until the prescription arrives.

The prescription will be kept at Pharmacy Direct when required by State and Territory Regulations.

Pharmacy Direct can also keep any repeats remaining on your prescription for your next order, if you wish.

Why is Pharmacy Direct much cheaper than other pharmacies?

At Pharmacy Direct, we try to give you the cheapest price and the best deals. We work hard to negotiate the lowest prices, which we gladly pass on to you.

Do I pay postage if I order PBS prescriptions?

If you are ordering a PBS prescription at a concession or full PBS price, your postage and handling cost is absolutely free for regular postage within Australia up to 30kg.

Why do I need a prescription to order some items that I can buy without a prescription in a store?

This is only for 'Pharmacist Advice' items, which require counselling by a pharmacist, or doctor, before they can be purchased.

Ordering by fax, phone, mail or online eliminates this interaction with a pharmacist.

Therefore by law, it is required that a doctor explains the medication and so providing a precription for these items indicates that you have had appropriate counselling.

If I find a product cheaper elsewhere, will you match it?

Pharmacy Direct will match any Australian pharmacy competitor's advertised price. If you happen to find a product cheaper elsewhere, inform us of the cheaper price (i.e. by phone, email, fax, etc) and we will match the price for you as long as we can confirm the price.

How can I pay for my order?

There are a number of payment methods for you to use at your convenience. Including:

Credit Card: Visa, Mastercard, Diners Club and American Express.

Direct Debit: Payments must be arranged prior to your order. For the first payment, you must complete the Direct Debit form (located on our website or in our catalogue). The initial set-up will take approx. 7 days (your first order will be delayed unless payment is made otherwise). When placing future orders, please quote your account name, account number and BSB number on the order. 

Money Order and Cheque*: Please write your name and address on the back.

BPAY: Check out our website for our BPAY details.

* Please don't forget to add the postage and handling fee ($5.95) to the total of your order. Cheques and Money Orders cannot be used for online orders, as you need to post them with your order.

Can I order a product that isn't in your catalogue?

Simply call, fax, email or leave us a note in the Ask our Pharmacists section of our website informing us of the product you wish to purchase and we will let you know if we are able to order the product for you. You can also put a note in the order comments box at the time you place your order.

If I don't live in Australia, can I order online?

Yes you can. However, the postage and handling costs will differ, as well as the delivery times. Postage Costs: The postage costs vary according to the weight of the parcel. Delivery Times: Please allow 2-3 weeks from the time that we receive your order. However, depending on where you live, deliveries can take up to 8 weeks. Delivery By: Overseas Air & Overseas Economy.

What do I do if I have forgotten my customer number/login?
Simply ring or email Pharmacy Direct, state your full name and address and we will inform you of your customer number.
Can I keep my prescriptions at Pharmacy Direct?

Yes, certainly. Leaving your prescriptions on file makes it easier to order at your convenience. It eliminates the time that is needed for mailing in a prescription for mail order.

Can I buy products from your web specials in-store?

Yes, however you must bring in a print out of the web specials page. When you have finished shopping, present the print out to the cash registers before your purchase is processed.
