Yes, in many cases, it can be. For example, not all drugs sold in retail US and Canadian pharmacies are made in the USA or Canada. Many generics that American and Canadian retail pharmacies sell may be sourced from India, Israel, European Union and possibly other countries as well. Even for many brand name drugs, while the manufacturer of the drug may be an American or European company, for a variety of reasons, the drug itself may be manufactured outside of the USA or Europe.

Our shipping charge is a single flat rate of $9.99 for your entire order regardless of the number of products you order. Additionally, from time to time, we have specials on certain items for which shipping is free!

After your order is placed and we have received complete order information, it will take approximately 3 business days to process your order and once processed, your order will be shipped.

Back to Top

Before your order is shipped, we need to verify and review your medical information, prescription/refills, payment, availability of stock and then route the order to the appropriate facility for shipping. The pharmacist at the facility that will ship the order will then perform a second check of your prescription. After this, your drugs will be picked from a stock room, labeled, checked again by the pharmacist to ensure you are getting the correct drug/dosage and then finally packed for shipping. We do our best to complete all this within 3 business days!

Remember, if we have not received your prescription or there is a problem with your payment, we cannot start the order processing discussed above which will result in a delay in your order being shipped.

We process your orders as soon as possible. However, if your account information is inaccurate or incomplete, this can slow down the order process. Always ensure that you enter your account information accurately and ensure that all the fields are completed when filling in our online forms. Failing to send us your prescription for any items you have ordered that require a prescription will delay your order. Always remember to promptly send us your prescription when ordering prescription items.

With our flat rate shipping, once the order is shipped, the delivery time is typically 8 to 18 business days.

We understand that when you order products from web-based companies in the USA, your packages arrive very quickly which is why we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding that most of our parcels are shipped to you from outside the United States and therefore take longer to be delivered. Every day millions of parcels coming into the USA have to clear U.S. Customs and this can take some time. Parcels shipped from within the USA don’t have to go through the border control procedures and thus arrive sooner. By shipping your orders from places located outside the USA, we are able to offer lower pricing than what American pharmacies charge. We trust the savings is worth the wait!

Back to Top

In rare cases, a shipment can arrive outside the standard delivery time. There are a number of factors outside of our control which can play a role. For example, there can be longer than normal delays at U.S. Customs during busy seasons such as in December and early January due to the large number of packages crossing the border, changes to parcel screening and shipping protocols for security reasons and inclement weather affecting flights carrying international mail.

Don’t worry, we guarantee that you will receive your order!

If you have previously been purchasing brand name pills from your local pharmacy, but have purchased the generic counterpart from us, the pills you receive from us will look different. The generic pills will have the same active medicinal ingredient and should work in a very similar way as the brand name, but the color, size and shape of the pills may be different. This is generally due to certain laws that restrict generic manufacturers from producing a pill that looks “exactly” like the brand name counterpart. Additionally, the same brand name pills may also look slightly different in different countries than they do in the US. Two good examples are Nexium and Celexa. In the US, Nexium is available as a purple capsule, yet in Canada, Nexium is available as a light pink tablet. Similarly, in the US, Celexa 20mg is available as a peach colored tablet and internationally, the pill is white and slightly smaller than the US pill. In both examples, the US pill and the international pill contain the same active ingredients and are made by the same drug company. However, perhaps to segregate their markets or for other reasons, the drug company decided to make the Canadian or international pill a different color or different dosage form (i.e. tablet vs capsule). Finally, the same generic drug made by different generic companies may look different as well.

Back to Top

In some cases, drug companies may brand the same drugs under different names in different countries. As such, the product(s) you receive may have a different name than the US name, however, they will contain the exact same medicinal ingredients in the same dosages. A good example of this is the drug Zyrtec. In Canada, Zyrtec is marketed under the brand name of Reactine, even though the same drug company makes both Zyrtec and Reactine and other than the name, there are no differences whatsoever between the two products. Drug companies likely do this to segregate their markets or to discourage consumers from buying from different countries.

Because we are located outside the United States, we are unable to transfer prescriptions from US pharmacies. However, you can ask your doctor’s office to directly fax us a new prescription to save yourself a visit to the doctor. Most doctors are happy to do so. If you prefer, we can also contact your doctor’s office and ask them to fax us a new prescription for you. Please note that doctor's offices can take up to 3 to 5 business days to respond to our requests for new prescriptions, so it may be quicker if you call them.

Back to Top

Prescriptions are valid and usable within one year from the date the prescription was written. In the interest of patient safety, if a prescription is received by NorthWestPharmacy.com more than 4 months after it was written, we will need to contact the prescribing physician to verify that there have not been any changes to the medication, strength or dosing.
