Please note that it might not be possible for Notwane Pharmacy to deliver to certain areas. During the checkout process you will be required to enter your address to determine if you are eligible for delivery. Notwane Pharmacy does not deliver to PO Box or postal addresses.

A delivery is considered complete as soon as the parcel is accepted by you or an individual on your behalf at your specified delivery address. Anyone who takes receipt of the parcel is presumed to be authorised to accept delivery on your behalf. For verification purposes, the person accepting the parcel may be required to produce some form of identification (identity document/drivers licence/passport).

Some items (heavy or large, based on volumetric weight) may carry additional delivery fees and the customer will be informed of this fee after the purchase and the order will be refunded in full if the delivery fee is not acceptable to the customer. Every reasonable effort is taken to ensure that the delivery costs displayed on the site are correct at the time of your purchase.
