How many times should I try phoning the pharmacy before giving up?

1. An hour? I order all my prescriptions online and usually have to wait days for them, which is why I order a week before I run out.

2. 4?

   I’m not sure they get things ready if you announce you’re coming though, but can’t hurt to ask. Might depend on the pharmacy.

3. Find a better pharmacy.

   There’s nothing inherently slow about them. Some just have lazy or incompetent staff.

4. Mine sometimes just never answer. When I am in there I can see why, there is a constant queue and they are dealing with customers or getting the next one ready. I have resorted to going in and asking for them to prepare it, then popping to the shops for a bit.

5. What do you mean how many times? Why would you need to ring more than once?
