Walmart Expands Same-Day Prescription Delivery Nationwide

The retail giant's new service aims to reach 49 states by January 2025, intensifying competition with CVS, Walgreens, and Amazon.

Walmart's same-day prescription delivery service is now available in six states and will expand to 49 states by early 2025, excluding North Dakota due to state laws.
The service allows customers to combine prescription deliveries with other items, such as groceries, in a single order.
Walmart+ members receive free delivery, while non-members pay a $9.95 fee; deliveries can be scheduled for same-day or as quickly as 30 minutes.
This move heightens competition in the pharmacy sector, posing a threat to CVS and Walgreens, which are already facing store closures and financial challenges.
Walmart's initiative responds to high customer demand for integrated delivery services, with 55% of surveyed customers preferring to receive prescriptions alongside other shopping items.
