With leading drugstore chains – Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid– closing stores, Walmart announced yesterday that it's expanding delivery offerings – integrating prescription medications and general merchandise into one streamlined single order for same-day delivery. Coming soon, customers be able to receive their prescription within hours or with Express Delivery in as soon as 30 minutes.
The new offering is now available in six states: Arkansas, Missouri, New York, Nevada, South Carolina and Wisconsin. By the end of January 2025, Walmart's Pharmacy Delivery is expected to be available in 49 states, reaching 86% of U.S. households.
Pharmacy Delivery is available for both new prescriptions and medication refills. Customers will be able to schedule their Pharmacy Delivery for a specific time that fits their schedule. Walmart+ members, who pay a $98 annual fee for a variety of benefits, will receive free Pharmacy Delivery, while non-Walmart+ members pay $9.95.
