ExpressPharmacy.co.uk is a British based online pharmacy promising next day shipping and free consultations. It may seem like a professionally run business backed up by a high street pharmacy, but is this somewhere you should really trust to provide you medical needs? Our investigation looks into the background of this online drugstore.

Products Offered

Pills are available to help you will many different ailments including migraine relief, acid reflux, jet lag and altitude sickness as well as help for men’s health issues. They do require prescriptions to order medicine from them, unlike some more dubious online pharmacies. When looking at the prices it does seem like they are a little higher than some other online sources, however.

Regulatory Approval

In order for this online pharmacy to operate legally in the UK, they need to be registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. They also need to display the EU distance selling logo on every page which is offering medicine. They do display the logo and they are indeed registered in the MHRA database. This is clearly a very good sign that this is a legit online pharmacy operating from Britain.

The business behind ExpressPharmacy.co.uk has a real pharmacy dispensing drugs for them. One of the downsides with this company is that you can’t transfer a prescription that you may already have. They do provide a free online consultation service, in the form of a questionnaire, which they use to give you a new prescription.

A check with LegitScript shows that this drugstore is listed as unapproved. They have reviewed the site, only to find that it doesn’t meet their full verification standard.

Business Information

The name and address of the business are given on each page of the site. The name Express Pharmacy is actually a trading name and not the real name of the business. This may appear to be a little deceptive, but it is made clear on the ‘About Us’ page. The actual business name is Carecamp Limited and is an active company listed on the UK Government website.

Carecamp was incorporated in 1995, but it wasn’t until 2009 that the pharmacy practice was started. They now have six high street pharmacy stores in London and they provide NHS approved medicine to over 50,000 people.

Domain Name Information

The website address was registered in 2010, which would suggest that this is a legit business. Scam online pharmacies tend not to be around as long as this site. When this name was registered, no privacy service was used to hide the information on the domain record, which is really good.

There have been reports of malware on this site, which is why ScamAdviser.com have them threat listed.

Payment and Shipping

You can purchase your medicine on this site using Visa and Mastercard, as well as a Visa Debit card.

Express Pharmacy only delivery drugs to UK addresses. For £2.95 they offer Royal Mail Signed For delivery, which will normally get you your pills the next day. If you need guaranteed delivery before 1.00pm the next day, it will cost you £5.95. Next day delivery before 10.30am will cost you £12.50. There is also an option to collect your medicine direct from the pharmacy in London or from a local collection point.

ExpressPharmacy.co.uk Reviews

This online pharmacy has a page reserved for ExpressPharmacy.co.uk reviews. The reviews you find there are mostly good and there are a lot of them. As there are so many, this may signify some sort of incentive to encourage people to leave reviews. Even if this is the case, not all the customer feedback is positive.

The testimonials seem to be genuine, it would be surprising if they were faked as there are so many and this list is added to regularly.

Conclusion

ExpressPharmacy.co.uk is transparent in its business practice and they do prescribe pills from a genuine pharmacy. The big downside of this company is that they only sell drugs to people in the UK and the prices aren’t as competitive as they could be.

Also, though for the most part good, their customer feedback has shown some issues with the service they provide. There has been a report of malicious software on the site and LegitScript only gives them an unapproved rating. So for these reasons we are giving them 3-stars out of a maximum of 5.
