Question
I placed and order a couple of weeks ago with the place where I get my Phen. (not from this website) I usually have it in about 72hours. Now they keep sending me emails telling me there is a "shortage" and they are having a hard time finding a pharmacy to fill my order.

Is anyone else having this problem?

(The only good thing is since I’ve been off of it for awhile it will work really well when I finally start taking it again

I got mine from another website as well, it took a whole week to finally arrived . First time that it took that long to get it. Other times I've gotten within 2 to 3 days. Don't know the reason why. How long has it been for you? Hope you get them soon. Take care.

I ordered on 03/12!This is the exact email I got today...

Dear Online Pharmacy Customer,

We are very sorry for the delay in your Phentermine order. We realize that you
have been very patient and been awaiting the arrival of your order.
Unfortunately, there is currently a nationwide Phentermine shortage. We are
trying to get caught up as quickly as possible.

Please be assured that your order will be filled and we will ship it to you
within the next 5-7 days. We appreciate your patience, understanding and your
business. We will do our utmost to get your order to you as quickly as
possible.

Thank you.


Wish they'd give this info BEFORE you order....post it on the website or something.

I had the same problem - it's been almost 3 weeks now. I ordered around the same day, I think it was the 11th! I am a bit concerned because a "nationwide shortage" doesn't seem like the real reason, but I could be just a bit paranoid. I think I'm going to give up on **********.
Sorry I don't have pictures, but I'm new here to the forum. I hope that this thing gets sorted out soon - I don't have a doctor locally and my main doc is a skinny guy who thinks all I need is a good diet plan and magically I will lose weight - puhlease!

muddlepup,

I know you said that you did not order from this site. I did order from here and ya know the message you have posted is the exact same "message" I received. It is amazing to me. A shortage I understand cause this stuff works for most and well everyone is trying to get ready for summer. However different pharmacy companies using the same post to everyone is kinda weird. What is it the makers of Phen send out a "general mail out" to their pharmacies to get people off their back? I am gonna give it awhile longer to see if is true if I receive my order. I don't know if I will ever order on line again.

Sorry to ramble.

Best Regards,
Charla

Hi all,

Just want to put your minds at rest. There is another thread talking about this issue.

It is the actual pharmacies that have sent out that email to all the customers, and we as the company (**********) have received this email too and are passing on the message about the shortage to the customers. As all companies/pharmacies are experiencing the same problem of shortages, I think it goes to show that a nationwide shortage is a plausible excuse for the delay.

I can reassure you that you will all receive your orders from us. If you would like me to check your order, then please send me a private message and I will do my best to help you.

Thanks for your patience,

Louise.

I had a scrip for Ionamin that my insurance requires a mail away (to recieve the price of $15.00 for 90 day supply).

The mail order pharmacy is in Alabama, I got my scrip within 10 days at the beginning of this month.

maybe it's just the generic that's a "shortage" but so many companies manufacture phentermine...

you could also ask your local pharmacy if they have trouble getting their orders.

I ordered in January and had the same problem. Now I am ready for a refill, come on the site, decide to visit the boards and see you guys talking about this! Wonder what my Universe is trying to tell me- lol! I'll wait till Missus checks back in with the 411.

I ordered mine on sun the 19th. I sent 2 emails w no response and have called them finally. they told me they lost one of their pharmacy's so it's taking longer to fill the **. I'm really frustrated and anxious! (I didn't order from **********) but I I'm pretty sure they are probably using the same pharm cuz I went to order from ********** when I hadn't rcvd my order in a week because I knew it was reputable(I found it after I already purchased) and the form was exactly the same! I think most are through safetrust?
