Do you have a shop?
Yes we do, we are a pharmacy based in 103 Lapwing Lane, West Didsbury in Manchester , UK . Please feel free to visit us; we are open 7 days a week. |
Do you do wholesale?
No we do not; we are a retailer that tries to sell our cheapest prices directly to our customers. If you are interested in corporate gifts we are able to give special rates on request. |
Is it safe to order online?
WorldPay's shopper security statement states,
“ Security is probably one of the most significant concerns for both the shopper and the retailer during an online transaction. In reality an online transaction is probably more secure than a card transaction in a shop or conducted over the telephone or by fax, as the information transmitted online is highly encrypted using complicated logarithm combinations.
The WorldPay payment system uses a combination of both established and innovative techniques to ensure the security and integrity of all sensitive data. Furthermore, our public web servers are certified by Thawte, a public Certificate Authority, ensuring that both the shopper and retailer can have confidence that nobody can impersonate WorldPay to obtain confidential information.
Transaction Encryption
The transfer of the purchase details from the retailers site to WorldPay are encapsulated using our own encrypted and digitally-signed protocol. This uses a combination of standard methods such as PGP, RSA and MD5 to ensure that the information passed is secure and tamper-proof.
Data Storage
Data storage on WorldPay systems, and the communication between WorldPay and the worldwide banking networks, is regularly audited by the banking authorities to ensure a secure transaction environment. We also ensure that we stay up-to-date with the latest versions of any third-party code we use, and continually review our own proprietary code .” |
Do I have to order online?

How long will it take for my order to arrive?
If your order was placed between Monday and Thursday, we will aim to process the order within 24 hours, and if you paid the standard delivery charge of £3.95 it should be with you within 5-7 working days for UK destinations.
If you selected the Next Day Delivery service between Monday and Thursday before 3pm you will receive your order anytime the following day.
For all overseas delivery….
“If you use International Signed For with Airmail delivery it is usually within three days to Western Europe, four days to Eastern Europe and five days for the rest of the world. By Surface mail, it may take up to two weeks for Western Europe, four weeks for Eastern Europe , and up to eight weeks elsewhere.”( www.royalmail.com )
We recommend that you wait for at least 10 working days until an enquiry is made. |
Can you leave my parcel in an agreed hiding place?
No, unfortunately due to insurance reasons we need a signature upon delivery of a parcel. Alternatively we do deliver to customers' work addresses as long as the billing address is still supplied when placing the order. |
Can someone else sign for my parcel?
Yes, as long as they live at the specified address they can sign for the parcel. |
Do you deliver to BFPO addresses?
Yes we do, we may need to speak with you if the order is of high value to make sure we can insure the parcel to its destination. And to avoid extra overseas charges you will need to specify the BFPO Number in the countries section when placing the order. We cannot provide the Next Day Delivery service.
Please make sure the billing address is where the card is registered to, or this may delay the processing of your order. |
My email address/password is not being recognized, why?
Please check if you have used another email address. It is a common mistake to use another email address or password; it could even be as simple as a spelling mistake. To log on successfully you will need the correct combination of your email address and password to log on as you did when registering. If the problem persists please email us at customerservice@sterlingpharmacy.co.uk or phone 0161 445 3753 (Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm ).
