How long does it take to receive my medication?

Your prescription will be sent to the pharmacy from your clinic. This will take 2-3 working days to receive, process and send an account activation email for Montu's online store.

Once you have paid for your medication, we will usually dispatch it the same working day if paid by 3.30pm or next day if you paid after (Monday to Friday). 

Your medication will be posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery and take 1-2 working days to arrive. 

We strive to post your medication promptly, however, at times there are unavoidable delays depending on the postal service and stock of some medication. We will always keep you informed of any delays.

Do you ship UK-wide, including remote locations?

Yes, we will ship to anywhere in the UK except the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. 

Can I track my order?

Can I make part payment of my prescription?

We understand some of the products are costly. If you would like a smaller quantity to tide you over, you split this at your discretion via adding only selected products to your cart.

Please note that we offer 1 free delivery for each prescription. If you want to part-pay for your prescription and order the remainder at a later date, we will charge a delivery fee of £9 for all subsequent deliveries. 

Please be aware that your prescription is valid for 28 days from the date it was issued. If you part-pay for your medication, you will have up to 28 days to order the remainder of your prescription.
