Mail order problem

I wasn't sure where to put this, so please move it, if needed.
I order what is supposed to be 3 months supply of Lantus at a time. I get 4 vials, that doesn't quite last 3 months. I manage this by ordering as early as possible, and they overlap just enough to last. Then I send in a new prescription before I run out of the last quarterly supply. It should work, but sometimes I cannot get the last bit out of a vial, or maybe I use too much or there isn't quite a full bottle. So this time, I knew I was running short, but my online order status said they could not ship until the 16th. That should have been OK, I figured if I was careful I could last until it got here. So today, when it still had not come, I checked online and it said the Lantus would not be mailed until the 22nd, and (with the 23rd a holiday) could take up to 4 days. I would be out by the 23rd. I have to admit, that after I got through pushing numbers for 30 minutes, the lady I talked to was extra nice and promised I would have my Lantus by the 22nd.
Now, what can I do to keep this from happening again? It is too much stress at a time when I do not need one more thing to go wrong in my life. I do not see my doctor again until January, he is very understanding, but if I take exactly what he says, the vials should last. They just don't always do so, and the mail order isn't always right when you think it should be.

I got music runnin' in my head,
Makes me feel like a young bird flyin',
'Cross my mind and layin' in my bed,
Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'......
I got music runnin' in my brain,
Ev'ry song with it's own kind of meaning,
Cleanse the soul and wash away the pain,
Baptized by the song that you're singing.
Canta libre, Canta la vida,
siempre conmigo, canta libre...
