This FAQ page addresses common questions to help you navigate our products, services, and ordering process with ease.
PLACING AN ORDER
Is any paperwork required before placing an order?
No, you can place an order without submitting a business license or additional paperwork. Most items sold by TPS do not require any kind of special licensing. However, certain situations do require a business license before the order can be fulfilled.
Situations requiring a license:
- Opening a Net 30 credit line with TPS (Business License Required)
- Purchase of DEA or DPS controlled items (Corresponding Licenses Required)
- Purchase of Class II Medical Devices (Business License Required)
Even if a business license is needed, you can go ahead and place your order. A member of our customer service team will reach out to you to obtain any necessary paperwork, or it can be emailed to info@totalpharmacysupply.com .
Is there a minimum sales amount?
There is no minimum purchase requirement. Orders under $300 are subject to $20 flat rate shipping and most orders over $300 ship free in the contiguous US.
Can I get a line of credit?
After paying for the initial order with a credit card, we offer a Net 30 credit line of $2500 to customers who provide a business license. Should a customer's account become delinquent, Total Pharmacy Supply reserves the right to charge past due balances to the credit card on file. Customers who would like an extended amount of credit may use our credit application form or email ar@totalpharmacysupply.com .
Can I set up automatic payments on my credit card?
Yes. If you'd like to set it up so that your credit card is automatically charged for any outstanding invoices each month, you can fill out this form and send it to ar@totalpharmacysupply.com .
Will you sell to individuals?
Yes, most items we sell do not require a pharmacy license. We allow individual consumers to purchase non-restricted items from our store.
Why didn’t I receive my invoice?
Occasionally email servers may reject our automatically delivered invoices, so be sure to add us to your email whitelist. If you ever need a copy of your invoice, you can definitely reach out to us at any time at (800) 878-2822 or ar@totalpharmacysupply.com .

Why did my order arrive in multiple shipments?
Your order is fulfilled directly from our vendor network, which allows us to offer competitive pricing, and a wide product selection without traditional warehouse markups. As a result, your order may arrive in separate shipments on different days — this is expected. You will still receive one consolidated invoice from Total Pharmacy Supply regardless of the number of shipments. Questions about a specific shipment? Contact us at 800-878-2822 option 5 or email orders@totalpharmacysupply.com and we’ll provide an update right away.
