Is it only Canadian/US drugs that are supplied or do the drugs come from other countries as well?
Not all products you order will be shipped from Canada or US. We affiliate with several pharmacies and fulfilment centers that ship products to our customers, including those in the India, US, UK, France, Mauritius, Turkey, Canada and more.
If my drugs are shipped from other countries, will it be Canadian drugs that will be sent to me?
No, our affiliate facilities in other countries will ship drugs that they have procured from either their own jurisdiction or other countries, including: the US, UK, Turkey, India, Germany, other European countries, and more. Rest assured that we only affiliate with authorized pharmacies and fulfilment centers that procure products through reputable sources.
Can the country from which a drug is supplied/shipped be different from the country that the drug is manufactured?
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.
What are your call center's hours of operation?
Our call center is open Monday to Saturday from 10:30AM to 7:30PM (EST).
Do you serve customers worldwide?
We serve customers in numerous countries. The shipping fee and delivery times quoted on our website pertain to orders being shipped to the United States so these may vary for deliveries to other countries. If you reside outside the United States, please contact us by telephone or email for special instructions on order placement, payment options and delivery times.
How much am I charged for shipping?
The shipping charge varies dependent on the quantity and the country you are ordering your product from. Additionally, from time to time, we have specials on certain items for which shipping is free!
Once I have placed my order, how long does it take before my order will actually be shipped?
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.
Why does it take 3 business days for you to process my order before it is shipped?
Before your order is shipped, we need to verify and review your 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 order. 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 payment for your order, we cannot start the order processing discussed above which will result in a delay in your order being shipped.
What can slow down the processing of my order?
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.
Non-payment/delayed payment can slow down your order as well. Please pay promptly if you are using other modes of payment apart from credit cards to make payment.
What is the estimated delivery time to receive my order?
If you have placed an order for domestic US to US delivery, it usually takes 3-4 Business days to deliver after the order has been processed.
If you have chosen overseas to US delivery, it usually takes 8-18 business days for the delivery to happen after successfully processing the order.
Special note related to the coronavirus: Under normal circumstances, orders take approximately 3 business days to process and another 8 to 18 business days in transit before they are delivered. But with air transport scaled back due to the coronavirus pandemic, there is a small chance of a delay with the postal system in delivering your order. Current delivery times average between two to four weeks from the date of shipping. Though nearly all orders arrive within two weeks to four weeks, in very rare cases they may exceed five weeks and we appreciate your patience in the unlikely event this should occur.
Why does it take 8 to 18 business days for my order to arrive once it is shipped when shipped from overseas?
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, you benefit from lower pricing than what American pharmacies charge. We trust the savings is worth the wait!
Why do some parcels spend more than 8 to 18 business days in the mail?
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.
Can you courier my order using a private courier like UPS or Fedex when shipped from overseas?
The first problem with sending orders by courier is that the cost of doing so is very expensive. For most orders, the courier fee alone would exceed $100. We'd still offer that as an option to those who want expedited delivery if we could but the second, and impossible challenge, is that private courier companies refuse to accept prescription drug parcels being shipped from foreign pharmacies to consumers in the United States. It's unfortunate because these prohibitive policies are broadly overreaching and misguided when applied to customers of online pharmacies, like CanadianPharmacynorx.com, which help people acquire more affordable maintenance medications.
How do I track my order?

Why can't I buy Oxycontin, Vicodin or similar medications from your online pharmacy?
We will not facilitate the sale or shipping of any schedule I & II drugs.
Will you automatically substitute my order with a generic drug if I ordered the brand name drug?
No, we will not automatically substitute any of your orders without your permission and authorization. If you ordered the brand name product, you will get the brand name product and if you ordered a generic product, you will get the generic product.
Why do the pills I received look different than the ones I get from my local pharmacy?
If you have previously been purchasing brand name pills from your local pharmacy, but have purchased the generic counterpart through us, the pills you receive will look different. The generic pills will have the same active medicinal ingredient 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.
Why do the pills I received have a different name than the ones I get at my local pharmacy?
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.
How long can I store my medicines?
Most of the medications come with a 3 years long shelf life.
If I don't see my medication on your price list, does that mean it is not available?
We may be able to source a drug that is not currently listed on our website. If you don't see the drug you are looking for, please call us at +1-800-220-0281.
Will I be charged any other fees or taxes?
CanadianPharmacynorx.com will only charge the cost of the products ordered and shipping carrier charges (unless the order qualifies for free shipping).
Will you accept my insurance?
We are unable to process a claim directly with your insurance company.
