Walgreens Boots Alliance will partner with courier service FedEx to offer same-day delivery of prescription drugs in the US. The collaboration is being seen as a response to Amazon's plan to acquire online pharmacy PillPack, which is expected to disrupt the US drug supply chain. Walgreens’ same-day delivery of qualifying prescriptions will cost patients $4.99 and the company also intends to expand its offering of next-day deliveries in particular areas. CVS Health already offers same-day delivery.
