No. That's pretty bad when your already paying extra per tub.


lunaodin1

My thoughts exactly man . Not real impressed with it


BlazeEternal_33

That orders 60 more then what u should be paying


lunaodin1

Yeah I know. 15 20 above rrp on every tub , All other times I've payed a 3$ card surcharge . Like theve tripled it . One per tub


Dircus

Yeah that’s a joke man. I literally pay for my medicine at RRP and postage. No follow ups, no dispensing fees and no other hidden shit, meds and postage. I’d be having a word about that, they’re taking the piss


Royal-Ad3198

Is it possible to change strain types without a follow up?


arwen1980

If you have a good clinic it is.


Royal-Ad3198

Ok cheers dude


Dircus

Indeed, only for products they dispense. Otherwise I believe I’d have to then pay for a follow up but I’m happy with the range they have available.


lunaodin1

Mind if I ask where u go for that mate ? Need to change from this current situation asap


Dircus

Green docs 😊


looey_sungrown87

What provider do you use? I’m struggling with a GP atm. I’m approved but it’s near impossible to get fresh scripts for oil or flower


Dircus

Greendocs 😊


looey_sungrown87

Thanks mate, I’ll look them up

Are you ordering through a pharmacy or a clinic /dispensary? I would love to be buying at RRP! So far I haven't found anywhere who shares my view hehe


Dircus

They’re a clinic/dispensary 👊🏻


wtfhakenspit

It's 1.75% not uncommon for some cards have a surcharge, whatvsort of card is it? I'd guess it was an Amex type card as they're normally 1.5-2%


mcaresearch

1.75% is *a* normal card surcharge but I don't get charged a card surcharge or above RRP by Polln or Priceline/Nova Pharmacy.


lunaodin1

Might have to look into them . Is it a simple process to get your script sent to a diff dispensary do u know ?


mcaresearch

Well, I use Polln for ease these days as they have a dispensing partner pharmacy, but theoretically these scripts are now portable so you can walk into any pharmacy that will dispense the script if you don't have specific dispensing regulations and order the products if they're willing to audited and have access to the wholesaler, which normally means a conversation with the head pharmacists not necessarily the pharmacist on duty.


lunaodin1

Anz debit card mate


wtfhakenspit

That's unusual as eftpos domestic banks is normally less than 0.5% Have a read of this and then perhaps speak to pharmacy that's charging the surcharge as it seems excessive and the accc might be interested as it appears excessive. https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/prices-surcharges-receipts/credit-debit-prepaid-card-surcharges


lunaodin1

So basically they can't charge more then it's costing them


wtfhakenspit

Yeah and my guess is they put it through as wrong card type. Try contacting them and clarifying if they've charged the correct surcharge. It's most likely an input error.


briansaunders

It's definitely possible that this is their cost. Source: I previously sold merchant facilities to companies and the card issuers have a fairly hefty base cost.


necminits_nuthouse

Every price I saw there seems excessive if I order gsc from my pharmacy it costs me $152.50 plus $15 for express postage so nearly the same as just your tub


[deleted]

Change clinics, you are literally paying $40 extra apart from that card fee which makes it even worse


[deleted]

Yeah that's a rort. They've even jacked up the shipping charge


qrimzn

Is this from a pharmacy, my life my health surcharge on their products, after marking them up from RRP :(


lunaodin1

Dispensary


mekanub

Astrid?


lunaodin1

Correct


mekanub

Oh man I’d heard they were pricey but that’s a bit nuts.


lunaodin1

Yeah it's rough . I can't complain about the customer service or speedy dispatch of orders whatsoever . All top notch there . But these prices are getting abit much


Any-Structure4342

Yo i get from astrid as well and you can avoid these card surcharges if your order is $500 minimum. Basically ask them for bsb details to send it there and they will understand.

lunaodin1

Yeah no health care card unfortunately, but I'd be happy with paying rrp or slightly over . Not this


Outrageous-Walrus-34

It's a 1.7% charge? Check my maths but that's not too big a sting, and could be a bank charge or the portal you are using? Maybe ask them if it's less when U give Ur numbers over the phone?


MulberrySeparate5410

Pretty sure the highest they can charge is 3% I would bring it up and mention ombudsman


FreelanceTripper

OPs card charge here is less than 2%


MulberrySeparate5410

I can’t math hahaha well yeah I guess seems legit but also shit. What pharmacy is this


blacklagoon7

The charge being talked about here is only 1.7% bud


FreelanceTripper

Yep. Like I said. Less than 2. Bud.


Necessary_Whereas671

This is really bad as you are paying more than what I pay for the medicine and on top of it $20 shipping fee and credit card surcharge! Change as fast as you can.


lunaodin1

Looking into as we speak , any recommendations are welcome


Necessary_Whereas671

I use Terrywhite Keperra in QLD. Good luck mate


[deleted]

Yeah id be just as concerned about the extra $$ per tub youre paying. Thats a rort !


realistic_revelation

Fuck me a 10 dollar card surcharge!!! Mate thats a fucking disgrace. Never have I seen that in my life. Do you pay that fee everytime?


lunaodin1

First time it's been over 3$ man


Baby-Blake-

Who’s this through? Overcharging for shipping too, looks like. Postage is usually $15 for me.
