Senate after two senators said their investigation found that average delivery times for prescription drugs recently increased 18% to 32% percent. And delays aren't just a matter of convenience. Many medications are temperature sensitive and patients may require them immediately.

If you know you will need a refill, place the order a minimum of two weeks early." When patients refill a prescription online, they should pay attention if they get a message that the Postal Service is experiencing delays, Tantipinichwong said. Then patients can decide if they want to pay extra to use a different shipping method or receive next-day delivery. "There may be a slightly higher cost associated with these shipping services, but it may bring you greater peace of mind," she said.

"Your local pharmacy and pharmacist are here to advocate on your behalf," Tantipinichwong said. "There are many ways they can jump in to ensure you get the medications you need." One of the ways a pharmacist can advocate is by offering a temporary fill, or a bridge prescription. A bridge prescription is an order for a limited supply of medication – usually enough for 15 to 30 days – that will cover your needs until your original prescription arrives.

The local pharmacy may still need a prescription from your doctor's office, or they can transfer a prescription from the mail-order pharmacy. To request a bridge prescription, Tantipinichwong says to call your local pharmacy and request an "override mail service." This will allow the local pharmacy to process a temporary refill through your insurance provider.
