Christmas and New Year delivery and collection
Just to let know, we'll have a slightly reduced service over the festive period. There will be some changes to delivery and collection times, as well as customer service hours.
To get your orders before the Christmas and New Year please see below.
If you're collecting in store, please check your local LloydsPharmacy opening hours, it’s always worth ringing ahead before collecting to see if they have your prescription ready.
We advise choosing collection over the festive period to ensure you receive your order on time.
We also strongly recommend choosing a LloydsPharmacy in Sainsburys over the holidays, as these are more likely to be open but with reduced hours.
