Amazon Pharmacy to Expand Same-Day Delivery to 4,500 Cities
Amazon Pharmacy announced a same‑day delivery rollout to nearly 4,500 cities by 2026, adding roughly 2,000 new communities including Idaho and Massachusetts. The expansion leverages Amazon’s logistics network, Prime discounts and One Medical kiosks that let Los Angeles patients pick up prescriptions within minutes. Remote deliveries now use e‑bikes, ferries and even horse‑drawn carriages, underscoring the company’s commitment to reach underserved areas. Despite the aggressive push, Amazon holds only about 1% of the U.S. pharmacy market, trailing rivals like Walmart and CVS.
