Gotchas - check before you buy

Users report orders unresolved since October; check current support response times before relying on it.

Guess: your prescription is nominated to one pharmacy; switching pharmacies needs a new nomination.

Fake phishing emails impersonate LloydsDirect; verify sender addresses before clicking.

Ownership changed twice since 2023; service terms and delivery terms can shift.
