Payment by eCheck is essentially a pre-authorized debit from your bank account. To pay by eCheck, you must first fill out a pre-authorization form. For orders paid by eCheck, we require an additional two business days to clear the funds. Call us to get pre-authorized form.
You have three options for your eCheck pre-authorization:
1. You may pre-authorize a single payment in an exact amount.
2. You may pre-authorize regular payments for an exact amount. This is useful if you expect your prescription to remain identical for a long time.
3. You may pre-authorize a flexible payment option where the amount is permitted to change each time. This is useful if you think you may add, remove or change prescriptions in the future, or if you may wish to change your shipping options.
Please note that for orders paid by eCheck, we require an additional two business days to clear the funds.
