I already received my parcel, I had a problem as the courier wanted to deliver
to my home as they claim they cannot place the order into my postbox. This was
my preferred option.
There is not someone at home always, so we had to get the parcel to my office.
No problem with that.
I did have an enquiry into the 4 extra pills, and this was delivered within a
few days via airmail to my post box.
I would suggest you attend to this part of your process as the extra cost is
unnecessary. Include everything into one parcel.
All in all, good service.
