Medicines arrived late

I had ordered monthly quota of our household medicines (for my sister, father and myself) from the medicine store that's not in our locality, but is present near my sister's office. They provide a flat 20% discount on label price. These guys generally deliver a day later than the existing online sellers, but that's fine. If I plan it properly, then a day's delay isn't an issue, after all they are giving good discounts (as compared to 10-15% off given by online sellers).
But this time, the delivery boy wasn't keeping well, so the delivery happened almost after 4 days. The store had informed me about the delay earlier, before confirming my orders. Luckily, the medicine stock at home was not at its verge of getting over.
Where do you get your medicines from??

Depends on what it is. If it's over-the-counter, I'll get it from the grocery store. If it's script stuff I get it from Walgreens, or the va mails my husband's.

The only medicines I use are ibuprofen and paracetamol which I buy in a local store.
My wife takes quite a lot of medication for COPD, Asthma.and a couple of other ailments and gets them from Boots the Chemist on prescription from our local Health Centre.
Her medication is free of charge on our NHS.

I went to the usual store tonight to get paracetamol and they didnt have any.
It got worse, I went to Lidl to buy a Chicken and they didn't have any.
Strange day
