we posted some medication out once on request, they came in a couple of days later having a go at us because it turned out the wrong stamp had been put on so they had to pay the postie 21p.

i thought it was really cheeky of them seeing as we dont charge P+P it wasnt even an old or ill couple.

They managed to get into you to complain but weren't able to get in to collect meds!!! Typical!

We post meds out all the time, generally to the bone idle and lazy...

We don't post them out as one of our Vets old practice posted Rimadyl out and the dog used to pick up the post and got hold of the bottle. It ate the whole 30 50mg tablets in one go.

seems like it should have been up to the owner to ensure it didnt do that, shouldn't stop meds being posted out for others (especially if using special delivery as that requires the owner to physically take from postie!!!)

we send stuff routinely, mainly stuff that the initial vet cant get in for some reason (work at referral) but we do send all sorts out, we charge a flat rate of (I think) £5.00 this covers packaging, and special delivery postage (think they should be sent at least recorded but thats all)

You could have 'accidentally' upped the p & p fee

Yeah, we charge P&P & are happy to post to the elderly etc. Just wanted to charge a w****r surcharge today! Was hoping that there was some legal reason that they could not be sent!

We do post meds but not many people ask for it to be done. Generally it's the ill, elderly or people who live quite a distance from us. We charge p & p.

Yes you can charge them postage and packaging and usually we only did it for disabled or elderly clients. Lazy ones we used to just say sorry! It will be here waiting for you! :)
