Walgreens makes move against rivals

Walgreens is partnering with FedEx to do national, next-day prescription delivery and same-day delivery for some cities as the delivery wars heat up.

Next-day delivery for prescription drugs is coming nationwide thanks to Walgreens and FedEx. The move could potentially put Walgreens head-to-head with Amazon.

Proud of the team who scaled our Walgreens Express pilot across the chain and added delivery services to it. Great job Bilal Ghani and Stephanie Vonderhaar! Walgreens is now the fastest choice for next-day prescription delivery across the nation Walgreens Express TM allows patients to preview their cost, prepay for eligible prescriptions and choose between home delivery or express pickup in store. Patients who prefer collecting prescriptions at their local Walgreens can enter a dedicated Walgreens Express pickup checkout line to receive their prescriptions. https://lnkd.in/eJMiVvG

Very interested to see where this development takes the #telehealth indsutry.

These days, all roads lead to Amazon, including the latest announcement from Walgreens. The pharmacy chain is teaming up with FedEx for next-day prescription drug delivery nationwide.

Walgreen's and FedEx announce next day prescription delivery service, a great concept to distinguish the pharmacy from Amazon and what they're doing with PillPack. I believe it's a strong way for both companies to extend their brand in a relevant way. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/eVzWRCz
