Will the Madness Ever End? January 24, 2005
The meds saga continues. My second shipment from IVFMeds arrived at JFK at 12:45 on Friday morning. It’s been in customs ever since. To say that I’m getting frustrated by this point would be an understatement. I have enough meds for tonight and tomorrow night, but I have to get more by Wednesday.
I called IVFMeds this morning and left a message. Two hours passed without a peep from the phone, so I sent them a long and detailed email. I got a call a little while after that. I was told that all hope is lost for the first shipment. It is stuck in customs indefinitely. It’s too early to tell if the second shipment is stuck in customs or not. He said that customs was backed up this weekend due to all the weather problems in the northeast and nothing was getting through. So, guess what? They are sending out a third shipment. They’re sending it with the fastest courier possible, and it’s going directly to Houston. No more of this JFK business. We should know by midday tomorrow if this third shipment will make it here by Wednesday. I’m supposed to receive a call back tomorrow to let me know if it will make it. If they can’t guarantee delivery on Wed, then I’ll call Freedom Drug tomorrow. Thankfully, they’ll deliver the next day with orders placed by 3pm my time. I really don’t need this right now. This is beyond insane!
I know I’ll get my drugs one way or another, but I hate having to worry about the whole situation. Can’t things just go smoothly? I guess not.

This shit is hard enough without having to deal with JFK customs and snow storms! I’m so sorry. They should hire someone to personally deliver them to your door.
What a mess! So sorry you have to deal with this crap. I hope you get your meds soon and in time!
What a nightmare! I hate to add to your stress but Freedom Drugs told me at the last minute that they were all out of Repronex when I needed them to send it for my last IVF. You may want to make sure they have the meds you need in stock. I got my meds from them with a nice little note about the Repronex being out of stock for 2 weeks and I was to start the next day! I feel your pain.
I hope it all works out soon.
Take care.
Oh shit! I really hope your third shipment gets through customs in time. It really sucks that you have to deal with this.
That’s a definite schmierkase. Hope something works out for you.
This sucks! I’m so sorry that you have to deal with this mess.
Ridiculous! It’s even worse that they’re not keeping you apprised, and you have to spend all your time chasing them down. Here’s hoping you get that third shipment asap — I’m sorry you have to deal with this on top of everything else.
