Walmart+ members will receive free delivery on Pharmacy Delivery. Non-Walmart+ members will pay the standard delivery charge of $9.95.
Walmart is integrating prescription medications and general merchandise into one single order for delivery across the US.
The new offering is now live 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 tens of millions of customers. It is available for both new prescriptions along with medication refills.
“Our extensive footprint across the nation combined with our deep expertise in pharmacy uniquely positions us to make a profound impact in the communities we serve,” said Kevin Host, Senior Vice President of Pharmacy at Walmart US.
“We understand that health care is not a one size fits all solution. It’s hyper-local. Each community has unique needs. This new offering allows us to continue serving customers while also giving more time back to our pharmacies for high touch health services.”
Customers will be able to schedule their delivery for a specific time that fits their schedule.
Coming soon, they will have the option to choose on-demand or express delivery. With these options, they’ll be able to receive their prescription within hours or as soon as 30 minutes.
New or existing insurance plans will be applied to the transaction just as they would when picking up a prescription in-store.
“Helping customers solve missions is core to everything we do. By combining Pharmacy Delivery into a single order, we’re strengthening our commitment to providing everything they need, whenever and wherever they need it,” said Tom Ward, Executive Vice President and Chief Ecommerce Officer, Walmart US.
“If you’re sick, we can deliver the necessary medicine along with everything else you need to feel better: cough drops, a heating pad, blanket and orange juice. Walmart’s size, resources and expertise set it apart from other retailers.”
