Shopping and Ordering

From Wednesday 23rd December 2020, customers from Northern Ireland will not be able to purchase pharmacy only items from our website. This is because of the EU protocols that are being introduced from January 2021. Please consider these restrictions when adding items to your basket as they may be automatically removed.

To enable us to still fulfil orders to Northern Ireland following Brexit, we are fulfilling all orders from within Northern Ireland. This means that some products are currently unable to be delivered. We hope to have the full range back soon.

We recently changed our checkout experience and PayPal is no longer available. This change enables us to improve and simplify the ordering process for our customers, and to invest in further improvements to the website. You can still pay securely with your credit/debit card, and ApplePay on Apple devices.

As there is a price difference in the delivery options we offer, we’re not able to change the delivery option once an order is placed.

Once an order has been placed, we’re unable to amend it.

Once an order has been placed, it cannot be amended but if you contact our Customer Team via our Contact Us hub before it’s dispatched, we can cancel your order and you can place a new order with the correct address details.

For offers where you 'Buy one get one free' or get '3 for 2', you must add the 'free' product to your basket just like you would in store. The discount will then be calculated at the "checkout" page and based on the cheapest item(s) selected.

For any offers where you receive a ‘gift with purchases’, the gift will automatically be added to your basket- as long as the product you choose qualifies. You don’t need to add the gift yourself.

Our free gifts are very popular, and while we try to make sure our website has enough for everyone, there are times when we run out. These free gifts are all subject to availability.

Vouchers codes can be entered at the “My Basket” stage of your order by entering your promotional code into the “Voucher code” box.

Make sure you enter the codes as it appears on the offer as they are case and space sensitive.

These codes can’t be used with any other offers and can only be used once per customer.

You can only add Voucher codes at the time of placing an order.

Please make sure your card details are entered exactly as they are written on your card. Please also make sure that when entering your card and billing details, you only use numbers and letters- our payment system will not accept punctuation or characters like / “ ⋅ ∧ _ − ⁄ ¸ > ; £ ∗ [ <

We do not accept American Express cards.

Definitely, It would be great if you could tell us exactly what error messages you see, please contact our Customer Team via our Contact Us hub and one of the team will be able to help you

We're currently looking into this as an option but not yet, so keep checking back with us for updates on this.

It would be impossible to fairly choose who receives support and who doesn’t so we focus all of our activity on the charity that we are currently partnered with.

We always work with national charities, so they’re relevant to our colleagues as well as our customers and over the past few years we’ve worked with charities like the Prince's Trust, the Institute of Cancer Research, Teenage Cancer Trust, NSPCC and we’re currently partnered Marie Curie.

Superdrug is against animal testing and we welcome the Government’s initiative to stop the testing of finished cosmetic-products on animals. We look forward to the day when the ban can be extended to all cosmetic and toiletry products and ingredients.

We do not test any of our own brand products or their ingredients on animals, nor do we commission, via third parties, testing of our products on animals.
