Can anyone suggest the best place to buy Equest from?
I've tried my usual supplier Hadrian Equine and can not get through to them!

I usually use hyperdrug - www.hyperdrug.com - they are fairly cheap (although last time my local feed store actually managed to be cheaper by a small amount). |

Just want to point out that it is illegal to purchase wormers from abroad and Equine Megastore is in Australia.

I get mine from Discount Saddlery. Not sure if they are the cheapest but the postage is free.

the only wormers that you can legally purchase in this country are ones with the UK licence number on the box, for example VMD 01708/4448 for Panacur paste.
Hadrian Equine is based in County Durham which is in England. You can buy wormers from any UK supplier as long as they have the VMD number on them. If they don't the supplier has illegally gained supplies and should be reported. You cannot buy wormers from Southern Ireland or anywhere else in the world as it is classed as illegal import.
I had the Royal Pharmaceutical inspectorate at my shop yesterday to grant our licence and he said that there is about to be a major clampdown on internet sales and illegal imports (starting January). Already, since the new law became effective at the beginning of November there have been a number of prosecutions for obtaining an unlicenced chemical and one person is currently in prison for it. These have all come about from spot checks on packages from known wormer suppliers abroad at customs.

Well, I have just purchased my wormers from Equi-Store. co.uk. I found them to be one of the cheapest, and didn't charge delivery.
Thanks everyone for all your feedback.

Can I just add to my last message.
I received my wormers through this morning, and I am very impressed with the service, and can not recommend Equi-Store enough.
They also included a postage paid card to return, to advise of the safe delivery of the wormers. Very professional in my opinion.
