Questions to ask about shipping on every pharmacy route
Per order vs per patient: Some compounders charge shipping once per checkout; others per prescription line. Multi-patient batch days amplify the difference. Cold chain: Ask refrigerated packaging fees, cutoff times, and whether summer surcharges apply on GLP-1 routes. Multi-pharmacy splits: ImpetusRX lets you send orders to multiple pharmacies from one screen — confirm whether you absorb separate shipping on each route and whether the Price Match Guarantee includes transit.
Turnaround vs cost: Marketing lists turnaround ranges from 24 hours to over a week by partner. Faster shipping may carry premium fees that erase drug savings from comparison. Build margin on the pharmacy-speed combination you actually use, not the cheapest tile with the slowest turnaround.
