My sis lives in NY and she is feeling so sick. Her DH has had Covid for a few days now. He's actually been isolated in their house for about 10 days, feeling sick, and just got his test results back on Friday. Now she has it and she is feeling horrible. She said that she's limiting her Tylenol because it's out of stock everywhere on LI.
I've been looking on Amazon so I could send her out some ASAP. It's her birthday tomorrow on top of everything...... Every Tylenol I click on has a delayed delivery date.
Anyone have other suggestions?? TIA!!

I just looked and it is in stock at Walmart, and they will ship. Free shipping on orders over $35.

What about Instacart from her local drug store? You could call the store first to make sure they have Tylenol.

Acetaminophen is in stock on amazon. It is but delivery is delayed by at least 1-2 weeks. 
As far as Walmart, their delivery is also 1 week delayed. Darn.......... I was hoping to somehow get it to her by tomorrow. I guess I was dreaming. Hate to hear her in so much pain.

I ask neighbors for a handful and then order from amazon.

@bergdorfblonde. Oh, that is so horrible! Yes, I know tylenol/acetaminophen is really hard to find. Hubby found ONE bottle of 650 mg tabs (which is an unusual dose) at Walmart. Are you doing the shopping or is someone doing it for you? If you're doing it, try Walmart and the grocery stores (I think they're more likely to have it than pharmacies; that was our experience anyway). If you completely cannot find anything, I can mail you some from our stash; you should get it next day. I can also get hubby to look tomorrow at the stores; it's shopping day. We may even be able to drop it off for you. Hubby is dying for an excuse to drive somewhere. I'm happy to help.
Send me a PM if you want to take me up on any of these options.
Hugs!

Does she have a friend that could go out and check the local drugstore?

Thanks all. ALL of her local pharmacies, grocery stores, WalMart, etc., are all out of Tylenol. They were rationing it for a while. That's why I was trying to send it from here (FL). At worst I could buy it here and overnight it to her..... I just assumed I could do that via amazon but I don't see it being available for a while and she's going thru the rough time right now.
I appreciate ALL of your input! Thanks so much! I'll keep searching!

@bergdorfblonde, shoot! Hopefully someone near her can drop some off or you can send some. Looks like places are only in store, not on-line too yet. That is an essential right now to have on hand.

Hubby said that's okay, and he'll look when he's out tomorrow. IF he finds any, and it's a big if, it'd make most sense for me to mail it directly. I could do overnight if you like. It's not perfect, but at least she'd know some relief is on the way. Anyway, let me know. We need to help each other in crises like this, and I'm happy to do so.

Did you try Target? My local one has it in stock. It shows that it can be picked up at the store right away or shipped to arrive in 2 days, but New York will have different delivery results.

With all of the Amazon options, it's the delivery date; she needs the tylenol ASAP. *christine*, the first option you put up has a delivery of Saturday. All the other ones I've checked the delivery dates are windows, and not soon. |

I have had really good luck with target. The site says there are delays but I have received the items quicker than expected. I know it is based on where youlive, but I see 3 types of acetaminophen available for 2 day shipping.

I realize that..was hoping maybe she could find some from a neighbor and even if the other dates were not soon, I'd order it anyhow. OOH Check Costco!! |

zella : You are so sweet! No---I don't want him out there in the madness...... I appreciate it! I'll keep trying to hunt it down tonight. (This is the same sweet sis that sent me an ice cream sundae with a candle for my birthday in November because I was feeling so sick and sad after my surgery! SHE is the one to make things happen and now this one time I want to try to help her.........). Thank you all so much. I'm trying to look at all of your suggestions!

Oh, he'll be out anyway; it's grocery shopping and Rx pickup day and he's the only person allowed out of the house. He also wears a mask everywhere. We're super careful. I'll have him look anyway. Better to have it and not need it, right?

Is she allergic to ibuprofen? I know initial reports were to take Tylenol, but I think it's been since stated that ibuprofen is okay.

I hope somehow @bergdorfblonde’s sister can get relief soon. I ordered the arthritis Tylenol and it should arrive here by Friday. I was just talking to my doctor yesterday about my Norco not being strong enough to deal with my pain anymore. We had switched to Norco from Vicodin at my request years ago because the Norco has less acetaminophen in it and that is a component that can cause some organ damage if used in they way that a chronic pain person must use it. Now that the Norco isn’t cutting it for me, we talked about switching back to Vicodin. In the end, I decided to just add some acetaminophen along with it but hadn’t ordered it until just now upon seeing this post. @bergdorfblonde, can you check your sister’s zip code to see how quickly they could get it to her from Amazon? I used the link provided in the post by christine58 above. |

sam's has some available online. gelcaps.
but they need something sooner than a shipment from sam's will arrive.
i think borrowing from a neighbor is the best bet for now, then they can pay them back when they get the shipment.

Lexica, thank you. I'm sorry to hear that your pain is so difficult to control. Crazy what a challenge it is just to get tylenol, isn't it?

Lexica , thank you. I'm sorry to hear that your pain is so difficult to control. Crazy what a challenge it is just to get tylenol, isn't it? It is! I didn’t anticipate that when I talked to my doctor. Although mine will be here Friday, and I would not be able to get Vicodin through my doctor for another 4 weeks because I just picked up a Norco bottle a few days ago. The Tylenol from Amazon is faster for me right now. I’ve been on pain medication for chronic pain for over 10 years now, so I am grateful that it worked as well as it did for so long. Plus, I just had to reduce the amount of what I was taking to fit into the new guidelines due to the opioid epidemic. I’m with Kaiser and we kept reducing and reducing until I got to where I am now. I swear, pretty soon they will tell me I cannot swallow the pill, I can only lick it x times per hour. I appreciate that the guidelines must be strict for some people, but I think responsible chronic pain patients should get a bit of leeway. |
