Auto refills with Fullscript: How it works

Patients

Overview

Auto refills are a flexible, automated service that allows you to schedule recurring orders, making it easier to follow your plan without adding to your to-do list.

Here’s what we need to automatically ship products that follow a schedule that works best for you:

The products and quantities you’d like shipped;
Your preferred shipping frequency;
Your preferred delivery method;
Your shipping address;
Your payment information.

Note:

When you register for auto refills, you expressly acknowledge and agree that your provider is automatically authorized to charge you for orders according to your chosen delivery schedule until you cancel. Read more about our Auto refills Terms and Conditions.

Scheduling auto refills

You can schedule products for auto refills from the catalog, your plans, the Auto refills page in your account, or the shopping cart while placing an order. See Adding and removing products from auto refill for more help.

Consolidating your auto refills

Consolidating your auto refill orders into one shipment can help you establish a more efficient delivery schedule and qualify you for free shipping if the order meets your region’s threshold.

Your first auto refill order

Here’s what you should know ahead of your first auto refill order:

✔ You will receive two reminder emails before your first ship date; an email one week before your first ship date and an email the day before your first ship date. These emails include a summary of the products that will be included in the order and your order total.

✔ An automated confirmation email, including a summary of the order and associated charges, is sent every time an order is placed.

✔ Your payment method is charged only when an order is placed.

✔ You can make changes to your auto refills before their ship date by going to the Auto refills page in your account.

✔ When setting up new auto refills from the Auto refills page (or the Orders page in the iOS/Android app), an order is not placed right away.

Shipping information & frequency

Shipping methods & rates

Free shipping is available for orders meeting the free shipping threshold in their region. Please view our Shipping policy for rates, delivery estimates, and shipping practices.

Auto refill orders containing shelf-stable products are shipped with our standard shipping option and are delivered in 4-7 business days from the order date.

To minimize the risk of heat damage and ensure timely delivery, shipments containing one or more heat-sensitive products default to our priority option, which includes an additional cost. These shipments typically arrive within 1-3 business days from the order date, allowing for reduced time in transit and avoiding prolonged exposure to potentially warm and damaging environments. You can modify your delivery method on the Auto refills page.

Note:

Under the recommendation of our suppliers, not all heat-sensitive items ship with an ice pack as these products are manufactured to withstand time in transit and short-term heat exposure. Long-term storage continues to be the primary factor in maintaining the quality and efficacy of these products. Please refer to product labels for storage instructions.

We’ll ship your order to the shipping address indicated under the Shipping address heading on the information page for your auto refill schedule. An address must be provided to activate a auto refill.

To find your shipping address:

Tap the Orders tab.
Tap your upcoming auto refill order.

Out of stock products in your auto refills

Orders shipping within the US

Backordered products are included in auto refill orders and are charged immediately when your order is processed. These products will ship separately (when they return to stock) and are automatically refunded if they don’t return to stock within 21 calendar days.
Unavailable and out of stock products can’t be included in auto refills since they’re longer-term supply issues without a restock date from the supplier. Though these products won’t be included in orders placed while products are unavailable/out of stock, they’ll stay on your shipment schedule to be included in future orders when they’re available again.

Orders shipping within Canada

Unavailable and out of stock products aren’t supported in orders shipping within Canada. Products with these statuses aren’t included in auto refill orders but will remain on your auto refill schedule to be retried on your next ship date.
