Advantages: Easy to use, Good search facility, Brilliant delivery

Disadvantages: Not all payment methods

I've been visiting the Superdrug site now for ages, but only to get my daily quota of ipoints. I usually click in, get my points and click right back out again.

However, last week I decided to have a look around. I needed bits and pieces for me, darling daughters and darling hubby, so thought I'd give it a go, especially as it was mid-week and I didn't have the time or energy to wander around town.

The search facility is pretty impressive - you can type in something as vague as MUSK and get a whole aray of products brought up for you. So off I went on a one-woman mission to single-handedly keep Superdrug afloat.

They also have some quite good offers on, along thel ines of buy two get one free or buy one get one free. The downside to this of course is that these kind of offers are quite popular so you can't always be sure of getting the items you want as they often go out of stock quickly.

The range of products is pretty good, covering everything from bottle teats to athlete foot cream and everything in between.

If you spend over £20 at the moment you get free delivery at a saving of £2.50. Delivery is excellent - I placed my order late at night on a Tuesday and the goods were delivered on the following Thursday, nicely packaged and securely in one piece.

You also get confirmatory emails to confirm that they've received and then despatched your order. They only list the quantities of what you've bought and NOT the item descriptions to protect your privacy.

One of the bonus points of Superdrug is that if you need regular prescriptions, Superdrug will send you an email when they think it's time for you to get a repeat prescription. They then, providing you've filled in the necessary forms for consent and updated your prescription/pharmacy file, will contact your doctor for the prescription and then deliver it for free to your door. No more messing around, traipsing t
o the doctors and then the chemist. Bonus!

The major downside to the site is that you can't pay by Visa Electron or Solo, but let's face it, both cards are pretty useless anyway so it's not really that surprising. You can of course pay by the usual Switch Visa etc.
