If you have an issue with your order or delivery, please contact uMeds directly rather than the dispensing pharmacy. We may be unable to resolve any issues that are not raised within a reasonable amount of time, so please make sure you reach out as soon as possible.
Our operations team will need to investigate the issue and contact our delivery partner for more information. Once we receive a response, we can then provide an outcome for you.
Any orders placed through uMeds cannot be picked up from the pharmacy. This is because our uMeds partner pharmacies only offer a home delivery service.
Once your medication has been delivered in full and is in your possession, uMeds is not responsible for refunding or replacing any items that are then compromised.
Delayed delivery
For delayed deliveries, our delivery partner may refer you back to the sender (uMeds), this does not mean the parcel is lost.
Please contact uMeds if the following applies to your order.
- It’s been more than 48 hours since your order was marked as dispensed and you haven't received your tracking information or delivery.
- You have received your tracking information but your order hasn’t moved in 2 business days.
Our operations team will look into the matter and, if required, confirm dispatch details with the pharmacy or contact our delivery partner directly.
You may notice some past orders showing in your patient portal which have not been marked as delivered. This is due to our recent system update and does not mean the order was not completed
Delivery dispute
If your order is marked as delivered but you’re unable to find the package, please check to make sure that no-one else on the premises has signed for the delivery. If someone within your household has signed for the delivery, it is not our responsibility to replace it.
Our delivery partners are required to get a name and signature on delivery. Other security measures can also be retrieved in some instances, such as delivery GPS data or dashcam footage.
If no-one in your home signed for the package, please contact uMeds as soon as possible. Our operations team will investigate and request detailed proof of delivery information from our delivery partner.
Please note, you may also be required to complete a police report. This is because once the parcel has been delivered, it’s considered to be in your possession.
Incorrect orders
If you receive your order and find that some items are missing or incorrect, please do not consume the incorrect medication and contact uMeds as soon as possible.
In order for uMeds to investigate, you will need to provide photos of the received medication including the packaging and pharmacy labels.
For missing items, please check to see if your order has been split into separate shipments. You can find more information about split orders here.
Redirection
It’s important to make sure your details and delivery address is correct and up to date before placing an order. If your order has been dispensed from the pharmacy and requires redirection to a different address, please contact uMeds. Our patient experience team will contact our delivery partner and request redirection.
Returns
If there is an issue with your medication, the uMeds operations team may request it to be returned in order to provide a resolution.
- uMeds will email you a return label which will need to be printed by you. This can be done either at your home, or through a third-party.
- StarTrack Premium will collect the labelled package directly from your home, or a different nominated address.
All returns will be handled by the uMeds operations team, who will guide you through the process to ensure you have all you need to complete the return.
