Hi- I’m not sure how to find a more reliable supplier so I thought I would query folks here. I’ve not seen any suggestions on this website so not sure it’s ok to ask here or maybe some have been reviewed and I don’t know where to find it on the site. I live in the Pacific Northwest so one closer may cut down on shipping time but I usually plan far enough ahead so it’s not mandatory to be located on west coast.  Thanks in advance!

Hey @loveanimals, are you referring to the Pacific Northwest in Canada or the US?

Hi Loveanimals,

I also live in the Pacific Northwest (US) and I use Byram for my supplies. I usually have my order pretty quickly (approx 2-4 days). I’m sure other people will have other suggestions too. My insurance requires me to use Byram, but I am happy with them.

Hi, Lovesanimals

I get my supplies from Shield Healthcare

Big company and they sell lots of different things as well as different brands of ostomy supplies.

My ostomy nurse first suggested them, they bill medicare directly so I never see a bill.

If you have insurance, hopefully that would also work for you.

I am in California.

They ship me three months of supplies four times a year.

Easy.

Good luck.
