- vial_ledger — update from 8 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway, from memory 21:58

Digest for the week of 2026-01-03 has been published.
how do you deal with a supplier whose support is in one language only
the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does
how far ahead do people order given transit inside the eu

check the date on that
anyone in the netherlands able to say what theyre paying

i had one pharmacy in another eu country refuse a foreign prescription and one accept it, same month, same paperwork
ema approval means licensed but not that anyone pays for it, is that the right way round
cross border in theory
three working days
you can carry a personal quantity between eu countries in practice. the rules on quantity and prescription vary and i would not rely on my reading of them

slightly off topic but spain, is it pharmacy only and what does it come to
a swedish member put their monthly cost at roughly double what a polish member was paying, as of last year
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
coming back after 9 months, has anything changed on reimbursement anywhere
Verification log updated: FGP — evidence added, status unchanged.

poland was cheapest
pharmacy prices in germany were fairly uniform when i checked because of how they are regulated. in spain they varied much more
update from 8 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway, from memory

*Medutest not the other one
no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from
send both languages
ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other

*Janoshik not the other one
genuine question anyone in sweden or denmark want to compare notes
handling fee is worse than vat
nordics are brutal
the language thing improved a lot when i stopped using idioms, and that was the actual fix
i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 21 days once
ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other
has anyone crossed a border specifically to buy it
is the customs handling fee worse than the vat itself
crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it
prices moved since
transit inside the eu was 24 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it
nobody here can tell you what is legal in your country and the mods stop that conversation early, still working it out
