Online shopping has become ubiquitous in recent years. Now, people buy everything online, including groceries. The best grocery delivery services offer everything that you can get at the store, but with the convenience of being dropped off at your home.
Two of the biggest and most widely available grocery delivery services are Amazon Fresh and Instacart. They operate differently (Amazon Fresh puts together orders in a warehouse, while Instacart uses personal shoppers who go to local stores near you), but both offer a range of goods, from fresh produce to meat and seafood to non-perishables like pasta to cleaning supplies.
The other options that round out the list of best grocery delivery services have more limitations, whether it’s availability in many locations or the breadth of products they sell. None are exactly cheap when it comes to delivery fees, but convenience and quality come at a premium. Dumpling markets itself as an ethical service, empowering personal shoppers as their own business owners. FreshDirect has excellent organic produce but at higher prices and in only a handful of states. Peapod and Shipt also have limited coverage areas, though they do feature great deals and coupons.

While you've likely used a brick-and-mortar pharmacy to get your prescriptions, online pharmacies can be a convenient and efficient way to get the medications you need. Online pharmacies allow you to fill prescription medications using a pharmacy you visit online or on an app instead of in-person.
Regardless of the type of pharmacy you use, local or online, medications that are not over-the-counter require a prescription by a licensed medical professional, (i.e., a physician, a nurse practitioner, or a physician assistant). A pharmacist cannot order these types of medications for you.
Now that electronic medical records are commonplace, most prescriptions are transmitted to pharmacies digitally. While you may still be given a hand-written prescription on occasion, e-prescribing, as it’s called, is preferred because it helps to decrease transcription and dosage errors. To get a prescription, you may be required to have an office or telehealth visit. Your provider will then send your prescription electronically to your preferred pharmacy.
If you need a medication right away (i.e. an antibiotic), a local pharmacy is your best bet. However, an online pharmacy could offer you more cost savings and convenience. Your medications could be mailed to you directly and set to arrive on a fixed schedule. Plus, you may also be able to buy in bulk (i.e. getting a three-month supply of a medication at once). Also, some online pharmacies also offer over-the-counter non-prescription drugs at a discount.
In case you're looking to transition purchasing prescriptions from a storefront location, we've chosen the best online pharmacies to meet your needs. Continue reading from VeryWellHealth
