Walgreens Launches Same-Day, Contactless Curbside Pickup

Walgreens announced today contactless same-day curbside pickup is now available at more than 8,600 participating stores nationwide. In as little as one hour, Walgreens customers can conveniently order and pay for select household essential and health & wellness products online and then pick up these items curbside at their selected store.

“We are always looking to provide our customers with safe, easy and convenient contactless shopping options to get the retail items they need, whether that’s via same-day delivery through our collaborations with DoorDash and Postmates, same-day pick-up with our order online pick-up at drive-thru, or now via our newest digital enhancement, order online pick-up at curbside,” said Stefanie Kruse, VP, digital commerce and omni-channel at Walgreens.

The curated assortment of nearly 1,000 household essential and health & wellness products include select grocery items, cleaning supplies, select over the counter products such as cough/cold, pain/fever and immunity support, infant formula/adult nutrition, medical supplies, first aid and paper goods.

To buy items online and pick up at curbside, customers can visit orderpickup.walgreens.com and enter their ZIP code to find the nearest participating Walgreens location. When a customer’s order is ready for curbside pick-up, they will receive a confirmation e-mail. When they arrive at their selected Walgreens location, they simply tap the “I’m here” link in their confirmation e-mail and a Walgreens store team member will place orders in the trunks of cars or wherever the customer prefers, depending on their method of travel.

Same day pick-up is available at all participating stores from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. local times. To guarantee same day pick-up, orders must be received by 5 p.m. local time.
