Chemist Direct is the UK’s number 1 online retailer of pharmacy medications, specialist skincare products, everyday essential toiletries, vitamins and supplements, and even stock a dedicated range of products to keep your pets happy and healthy. I see it as a sort of one stop shop for anything medicinal, hygiene and health related. It saves trawling around several different shops and pharmacies to get what you need, and of course everything is delivered straight to your door – a real bonus for me at the moment with a small baby.
Ordering was simple – just search by product name or category to find what you need. I chose a selection of everyday products:
- Lycra head lice shampoo – this is bound to be needed when the children go back to school in September
- Benadryl allergy syrup – Jacob suffers from hay fever so this is a summer must have.
- Pure Coconut shampoo – I am a big fan of coconut so this was a little treat for me!
- Aptamil anti reflux milk powder – Eliza suffers from reflux and we wanted to try this milk to see if it would help.
- Aquafresh Big Teeth mouthwash and toothpaste and Milk Teeth toothpaste – everyday essentials.
- Avenue body wash – one of the only body washes that doesn’t cause Max to have an eczema flare up.
- Kaolin and Morphone mixture – a bathroom cabinet essential.
Once I had chosen my products I went to checkout. The 2 medicinal items (Benadryl and Kaolin & Morphine) were flagged on the system and I was asked to fill in a short form stating who the medicine would be used by and for what purpose. Once this was done the order was accepted and processed and a confirmation email was sent. It told me to expect my items within 5-7 working days.
My items were delivered 4 days after the order, which I thought was very quick. They were well packaged and everything I had ordered was there – nothing missing or substituted. Everything was in good condition and has since been used by the whole family in one way or another.
Would I use Chemist Direct again? Yes I would. They advertise themselves as being cheaper than pharmacies and supermarkets. I wouldn’t necessarily agree with this as a blanket rule, although a lot of items on offer did work out to be cheaper than local deals. However, the fact that I can have everything delivered from one place and sent straight to my door is a real bonus for me, and for that reason alone I would order again.
We liked using Chemist Direct too, I got so much for my money! x

I have used Chemist Direct before and they are really efficient aren’t they?
And like you say, it’s great to be able to get everything you need at a click of a button and delivered to your door 🙂 x
I like Chemist Direct, I’d say cheaper if you buy in bulk 🙂 #triedtested

I have a vague recollection of hearing about them, but have never thought to use them. It does sound very convenient as long as you’re not needing anything right now. #triedtested
I think it is a really convenient way to shop. That shampoo sounds so lovely I love coconut x

I’ve used this company before. Some things are great prices but I did have a problem with delivery. Would recommend though.

Great idea – I too have a small baby (just discovered what Calpol is all about!!) so this could come in really handy
I like Chemist Direct, they have some really good bargains.

Got to be a winner having everything delivered at a good price #TriedTested
This is a great idea, especially for those first early few weeks of having a baby when you just want to stay at home – I’ll be bookmarking this for later in the year!
I would agree they aren’t always cheaper for everything but I love having everything delivered to the door at a good price and they sell simple baby wipes which I love! #TriedTested

I would never have even thought to look for online Chemists, such a good idea especially if they are sometimes a little cheaper. If I want to order things online I always automatically go to Amazon, I will give these a go next time.

Since we live in a small village in North Cornwall, I tend to order most of the things we need online. This I must try! Thanks for sharing 🙂 #triedtested.

We’ve used Chemist Direct in the past – I found them very good, aside from a lengthy delivery time. Ordering online is much easier than heading out to the shops and I tend to order most things online where I can. I just dislike shopping! x
We have used Chemist direct too in the past and I had a great experience. Everything was in stock and delivered fairly quickly. #TriedTested – Mummy2Monkeys x

I’ve used Chemist Direct before, I think they are great value and it was so easy to shop on there. I’d definitely use them again too.
I haven’t tried this but sounds a great idea especially seeing the Aquafresh products, as I remember a couple of years ago or so, the kids toothpaste seemed to be out of stock everywhere I went for months. I kept purchasing other brands and the kids hated them

I struggle more and more with getting to the shops these days and when I get find what I want is out of stock! I’m certainly going to have a look at this.
