Pharmacy retailer Walgreens is expanding its Same Day Delivery program to now fulfill orders 24-hours a day. Customers around the country, with some exceptions, will have access to more than 27,000 of Walgreens’ items for same-day delivery in as little as one hour.
The new delivery offering continues to expand access to the retailer’s private brand assortment. In October, Walgreens piloted its 30-minute guarantee pickup program.
“Walgreens knows that taking care of health and wellbeing isn’t exclusive to business hours and that needs can pop up at any time of day – that's why we’re always looking for ways to enhance the customer experience with convenient and trusted solutions,” said Stefanie Kruse, group vice president of Digital Commerce, Walgreens. “As the place customers turn to for their last-minute needs, we know they will find value in being able to access the items they need most, no matter the hour, right to their door.”
The new service comes to nearly 400 participating 24-hour Walgreens stores. 24-hour Same Day Delivery is not currently available in Alaska, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming.
To celebrate the launch, Walgreens is offering customers free delivery on orders of more than $20 with code NOW20 through Dec. 10.
Walgreens operates nearly 9,000 retail locations across America, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
