PHARMACY DIRECT ‘ CHANGE OF MIND ‘ 7 DAY RULE.
You may return an unopened item* that is still in its original packaging within SEVEN days of receiving your order (as recorded by the courier) for an online credit voucher for the value of the product - excluding the original shipping fee. The customer is responsible for any return shipping fee that may incur from returning the ‘Change of Mind’ item(s).

WRONG ITEM CHOSEN
If you have chosen the wrong item, you may use the above 7 day ‘ change of mind  ‘ rule. Unfortunately we cannot swap out, you will need to place a new order. You may also be required to pay shipping on that new order as it was not an error from Pharmacy Direct.

Please contact customer services first, to get your return code. Please include your order number as well. Email: [email protected]

*Some exclusions apply - see bottom of page for exclusion details.
