I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

But id I order 2 packs from Chemistdirect, I would get free post so works out over £4 cheaper. After Jasmine's post, I am a bit wary but may give it a go. They also do all the Hill's food as well as proper disinfectants etc.

Edit - Just noticed that Vet-medic charges £5.60 for food deliveries  :(

It's £5.60 per order. So if you get 2 lots you still pay £5.60. I think it is because they use Fed-ex to deliver. They are VERY good though. I've been using them for years with no trouble and get Memphis his Hills c/d from them.

I placed an order with Chemist Direct on 19th January for 12 boxes of litter liners.
They were advertised for £2.15 instead of the £3.75 I usually pay.

They sent me 3 packs, debited my credit-card for the full amount and said the remainder would follow...

After a month, I got fed up with waiting & asked them to cancel my order and refund the difference.
My email was ignored.

I tried to ring their customer services department several times - it appears non-existent (I have only ever got a fax machine).

Finally, they responded to a snotty email assuring me that they had ordered more stock and it was on the way, I would have delivery by the 12th of March...

I am still waiting.

Draw your own conclusions!!!

I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN >:(

Thanks Den - good to know  :)

I like Chemist direct as it is a treasure chest for the hypochondriac  :evillaugh: - I love that they have a section called "Embarrassing"  :evillaugh: - where you can order products such as Anusol* from the comfort of your armchair  :evillaugh:

*Whoever thought of that name?  :Crazy:

Anyone ordered from Chemist direct?

I just did a VetUK order. I ordered some Purina renal food - the logic being that Clapton loves Felix and most of the RC renal is going in the bin. It ws £27.74 for 24 x 195gram tins  :Crazy: - VetUK are usually the cheapest for everything but I just googled it and Chemistdirect are £22.89

Free delivery if you spend £40 - so if Clapton likes it, I will order from them the next time. You can make the £40 up with discounted human meds. (eg Gaviscon £1, RRP £3.65) I will have a proper look at what they sell later.

They do a lot of pet stuff http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/cats_2_3097.html

They even sell Virkon etc.
