What is HealthSnap? Who are you guys?
We’re a Canadian health and beauty store website! We’re a small startup team based in Toronto, Ont. but we have a big heart and even bigger inventory.
What’s with the name?
We were trying to come up with something…snappy. *ba dum tss*
What do you sell?
Anything and everything you would find at your local drugstore! Soaps, hair products, pads, tampons, supplements, skin care products, drugstore cosmetics. Stuff your mom buys that you always forget to, such as cleaning supplies and batteries. Even stuff your teenaged self would have been too embarrassed to pick up in store, like condoms and lubricant. Whatever your heart desires.
Do you sell prescription drugs?
No. We carry everything your heart desires except that.
But we do have a large selection of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and other health and beauty products. The pharmacies in our Pharmacy Pickup program, however, do sell prescription drugs, so feel free to talk to them if you have any prescriptions that you need filled.

What are you doing with my personal information? I don’t trust you.
While we have details like your name, postal address, email address, first newborn’s name, etc. (Just kidding about the last one, maybe). We need that, for your shopping experience’s sake.
Shipping
Do you ship outside of Canada?
Nope. Canadians only. Sorry ‘Murica.
When you say "Free same day delivery...?"
Yes, our pharmacy pickup orders ship absolutely free with no minimum order size. If you order before 10:00 AM EST, your package will be ready for pickup at the end of the day (unless your selected pharmacy only offers next-day pickup). Orders placed after 10:00 AM will be ready for pickup around 1:30 PM the next business day. Either way, your will receive a pickup notification email to let you know.
But this is only to pharmacies in Ontario (sorry, rest of Canada). Otherwise, we deliver straight to your home for free if your purchase is over $50.

What about the rest of Canada? Why don't you provide us with the same day delivery love? Do you hate us?
No, never! We love you, but our warehouse is centered in Ontario, so it’s a bit hard still to ship out to other provinces within the same day. Unless you invent some sort of TARDIS, then you get free transportation to everything.
How does pharmacy pickup work?
During the checkout, choose ‘Pharmacy Pickup’ and select a pharmacy that’s convenient for you. You can search by Postal Code, City, or Pharmacy Name.
If you ordered before 10:00 AM EST and your selected pharmacy offers same-day pickup (check your selected pharmacy's page for this), you’ll get an email confirming the approximate time your parcel should be ready at your pharmacy by the end of the day. If not, hold on for an email about when your order is ready for pickup between 1:00-4:00 PM the following business day.
Have a copy of your order confirmation email, some form of government-issued ID ready when you stop by your pharmacy and you’re good to go!

Why can't I find my local pharmacy for Pharmacy Pickup?
We’re trying, guys. At this moment, we’re working with a select group of participating pharmacies in Ontario. As our Pharmacy Pickup program grows, we’ll start expanding our pharmacy network.

Also, two words every girl (and guy) wants to hear: FREE DELIVERY. It will also be ready for pickup within one business day for those of us that need something FAST.
