Get your spacer from Amazon!

[Jane Jackson]

On Christmas Eve twin were with us and they managed to break their spacer for their inhalers. So OH popped down to Boots to ask if he could buy one they said no try Amazon!!!!!!!! He went to an independent chemist and bought one. So many things wrong with this. We are told not to go to A and E and go to our pharmacist and that happens, both boys have been using inhalers as have had very bad chests and was prescribed by their GP, and why on earth say go to Amazon apart from anything else it was Christmas Eve! I have complained and they 'looking' into it!

Ridiculous Jane! Amazon are good, but not that good. Getting medical equipment to children on Christmas eve isn't their job!!
Let us know what response you have to your complaint.

And, added to that, neither Boots nor Amazon pay tax in this country. Use your independent shops and pharmacies

That's shocking Jane , to be honest our Boots never have anything in when you go with a prescription they have to order everything and twice they have managed to lose prescriptions I never go to them now if I can help it . Our little independent chemist is far better and so helpful

Easier said than done Sum1!
I live in a large village. Our village and the smaller one along the road both had independent chemists. Both are now small branches of Boots.

Same here sadly. Our local chemist was excellent with a really caring pharmacist but sold out to Boots along with every other local chemist. Succession of different pharmacists and staff who aren't there long enough to get to know their customers. Very little is kept in stock and almost always a wait for at least one of my items.

Our local pharmacy is now owned by Day Lewis, but I think we must be very lucky as the service is still excellent.
