Do they mix bins on medicine too?
4 comments

Sterile medical supplies listed as "new" that I have ordered were delivered open box & repackaged instead, so it wouldn't surprise me to see that with medication too.
That's my question, and no way in hell I'm buying meds or supplements on Amazon. Nothing that goes in my body. They blew their trustworthiness on that a long, long time ago.
The bin mixing issue is the result of Amazon's marketplace.

Afaik, Amazon Pharmacy doesn't work in a marketplace model.

Even if it doesn’t now, how long util someone there decides to “optimize costs” and use regular delivery infrastructure for this, with bin mixing?
I believe the pharma supply chain is heavily regulated.
Let's hope not. I bet they're flush with Generics though.
