Looking for Pharmacy with Oral-B Professional Floss

Post new topic

gabrio

hi there

I am looking for this product from Oral-B:

media.oralb.com/en-US/assets/images/products/gallery/glide-pro-health-deep-clean-floss.jpg

now goes under the name of Oral-B Glide Professional Floss, or just Oral-B Professional Floss. It's not the easiest thing to find but it's the best floss out there... if anybody knows where they might have this item in Malta (possibly St Julians / Sliema / Gzira) please let me know.

I checked a few pharmacies and they don't have it.. I can find the Oral-B Satin and some others but not this one.

thanks
Gabrio

Hi,

I can get them at trade price. I will be at the supplier on Tuesday. I will ask if anyone can come in and get them at cost price or if you have to have an account there.

Lol, sorry Gabrio, really messed that one up. For starters, you wanted Oral B, then I meant to copy and paste the Floss version, which Sonicare do!!! On top of that, you don't want electric anyway!

I'll get back to you on Tuesday!!!

LOL, well I am just thinking if is available in Malta at all or it's yet another thing to order online... I am happy that the post works well so that we can order lots of stuff from EU / UK.

thanks

Gab,

I will find out if they have it in Malta. I know all of the dental suppliers, so I will be able to get an answer, save you checking the chemists and then you'll know if you need to order it online.

Hi Gab,

Simple answer is no I'm afraid. They only import 3 types and that isn't one of them.

I have left an enquiry about giving a price for a box (maybe 12 in a box?) Just for you to have an idea. So I would order online for now.
From experience, frieght is so much that they have to order a certain amount in order to reduce freight costs, this means that they may only order 3 or 4 times a year.

I will let you know!

Caroline

Update; It's not even on their order list so it is unavailable for them to import.
This seems to be the case often as I said. I find it funny how some products are available in some countries and not the other!
It use to happen on special offers, I remember a course in the UK showing dentists how to use this product, there was a special offer on it, saving hundreds. When they got back to Malta, the offer was not available from Italy and yet they were not allowed to order from the UK?!!

thanks anyway, I found it on sale from some Italian website but as usual I contacted them and they didn't reply me... love their professionalism sometimes! I am sure if I order from the guy on ebay that I pay a lot more but it will arrive in time! LOL
