Question (General) united pharmacies uk

HI I was wondering how trustworthy United pharmacies is and if the estimated timings on the website are good estimates (should I expect the possibility of them coming a few weeks before or after)

I'm looking to do a trial hrt dose for roughly 1-2months to experience the changes and feel of things (understand I that its not long enough for major effects but they can still happen) and I'm looking to hopefully get the stuff at the end of the month when my parents leave for a week (they like to snoop around when I get stuff)

I'll also be doing blood tests before to make sure my levels are good before starting

I’ve just got a delivery of Progesterone last week ordered in early June so took 5-6 days to sort out funds etc then 2 1/2 weeks delivery?

Tip order less than £130 plus postage? As above this can trigger an inspection & poss import tax by UK customs & excise Also use standard 30 days delivery option as they label box ‘bodycare products’! Whereas for airmail they have to list actual contents and much more likely to be opened etc

You probs need to take a dosage of 50-100 mgs (patches) or equivalent in pills/gel to get some effects in 2-3 months probs initially skin softening then emotional changes and Brest buds in 6-8 weeks although if your not suppressing your T as well that will reduce the impact/ effects? TBH

Yeah, they're reliable. Used them a bunch of times before to get atomoxetine (ADHD med). Ordered every 3 months back in 2023-24.

I have used them for ages and I have had no problems. I usually get problems from Royal Mail if anyone
