Update to ONMEN/SCIENCE and HUMANS experience.
They've moved to using POCKETPILLS as their preferred pharmacy, and if you decide not to use pocketpills, they will charge an additional $25.
I didn't care, so went with pocketpills.
Pocketpills charged over and above customary dispensing fees that are not covered by my insurance, so there was ~23$ co-pay.
I asked Pocketpills to transfer my prescription to my local pharmacy which they did without question.
1 week later, I got charged the additional $25 dollars from ONMEN for having to "co-ordinate" with my local pharmacy. I called the pharmacy, and no one from the company called and co-ordinated anything.
Seems to me like a nickle and dime scam padding profits.
Edit, found this on the Ontario CPSO website,
also found similar but more detailed on the Alberta CPSA (came up first)

Respecting Patient Choice When Choosing a Pharmacy
- Physicians must respect the patient’s choice of pharmacy.
- Physicians must not attempt to influence the patient’s choice of pharmacy unless doing so is in the patient’s best interest and does not create a conflict of interest for the physician.
