Slow shipping and Fort Knox-esq account security
UPDATE: So after writing my first review, I pretty much stopped purchasing from them because I was over their slow shipping. I just tried to order from them again yesterday because I got a 35% off coupon and that is an amazing deal considering my cats food is over $100/bag. Well wouldn't you know that there is a problem, lol. They contacted my vet and supposedly they told PetMeds that I'm not a patient there, even though I just brought in one of cats in May. I called my vet like 30 mins after getting that email and they said they approved the script. I go on the website and they have my vet's info in there (her name and verified that there was an Rx, but there were no refills left)?? Doesn't even make sense. Of course, no one is online to help, its Thursday so their 48 hour email window will push me into Monday and I can't wait that long to figure out THEIR mess so this will have to be CANCELLED and I'll have to get my food from somewhere else. Idk why I even tried. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Not only do they take FOREVER to ship orders out, I just spent about 3 minutes (not an exaggeration) doing a browser check and Captcha pictures trying unsuccessfully to log-in. Like, you already did the 'we are verifying your browser' thing and made me do a Captcha, why are you making me do the Captcha AGAIN and going through minimum 6 pictures? After my 3rd, 12 DPI image of a bike in a row, I finally gave up. This isn't the Vatican Archives I'm trying to log-in to here. You're 1-800 PetMeds. The majority of my orders take forever just to ship. My last order took 5 business days to ship out; no weekend in between. So then you have to wait like 3 days for shipping because Sunday, so that's 8 days to get your items, most of that time waiting on it just to ship. This is pretty typical, at least for my last 3 orders. I could understand if it was an Rx, but I just get regular food. PetSmart, Petco, even Pet Supermarket ship within 2 days. Their prices aren't that much lower than these other places, but the coupons are nice which is why I keep ordering. But if it takes this long to try and get into my account plus forever to get the product, I'm starting to think its not really worth it.
