Medication delivery allows you to receive prescriptions and other store essentials directly at your home through online pharmacy services like Express Scripts, CVS, Walmart, Amazon Pharmacy, and Walgreens. You can sign up for these services, have your doctor send an electronic prescription, or request a refill through the service’s website or app. You can then select your preferred delivery option, such as same-day or mail-order, and pay for the order to have your medications shipped to you.
