Are you able to Accept Prescriptions from my Doctor’s Office or Pharmacy?

We do! However, this method tends to take the longest. Prescription transfers from your doctor’s office or pharmacy are not under our control. Their processes can take weeks, and some may even take months. As a result, shipments are delayed. Orders cannot be processed without a valid prescription. To get your prescription quickly and efficiently, we recommend getting it through your own means.
