The Process

Four steps from click to delivery

Every order at Border Pharmacy moves through the same careful workflow — from upload to a pharmacist review to a tracked shipment to your door.

Step 01Start here

Send your prescription

Upload a photo or PDF of your prescription, or ask us to transfer it from your current pharmacy. The whole thing takes about two minutes — no fax machines, no waiting on hold.

Snap a photo from your phone or upload a PDF
Or share your current pharmacy's name and number — we'll request the transfer for you
Add your shipping address and (optionally) your BC Health card so we can bill PharmaCare
