CVS Free Delivery
While not all products available in CVS stores are eligible for home delivery, such as medications that require refrigeration, many of them can be included in such orders. As far as non-prescription orders are concerned, the shipping methods and fees are subject to change. The shipping charges will be clearly stated on the Verify Order page, where you should see any additional charges.
However, the standard shipping fee is $5.49 if your order total is under $35 and free if your order is over $35. Still, the fee varies based on different factors. For example, if your order is over 50 pounds, you will pay an additional surcharge for every pound over 50 pounds.
Additional surcharges also apply to select items and if your shipping address is outside the 48 contiguous states. As we’ve said above, the shipping charge total will be visible on the Verify Order page.
Speaking of addresses, CVS ships non-prescription items to any valid U.S. address (including P.O. boxes, with some exceptions), as well as to Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and to P.O. box and APO/FPO/DPO addresses.
If your shipping address is within the 48 contiguous states and your order is fulfilled by CVS Pharmacy, standard shipping should typically take 1 – 4 business days after the order is processed. In case your order ships directly from a vendor, it typically arrives within 3 – 7 business days after processing.
For orders including prescription items, you can have it delivered within 1 – 2 days or even the same day. According to the CVS delivery page, shipping is available for eligible prescription drug orders with qualifying prescription benefit programs and insurance plans.
CarePass members get to benefit from various perks, including free same-day Rx delivery and 1 to 2 day shipping when you add at least one CarePass eligible item to your basket. The membership is $5 a month, but if you intend to shop online at cvs.com frequently, you get to save in the long run.

CVS Delivery Via Instacart
In case you want your order to be delivered in as fast as 1 hour or within a few hours, you can benefit from such services if you order your must-have products from CVS via Instacart. You can do so through their website or app, and the entire process is fairly simple. Just add the items you need to your shopping cart, place your order, and a personal shopper will do the shopping for you.
The shipping fee starts at $3.99 for same-day orders over $35, but it can vary based on various factors. For example, if you want your order to be delivered in as fast as 1 hour or your order is under $35, the shipping fee will differ.
Then, service fees may apply depending on the type and number of items included in your order and your location. However, you can save on shipping via Instacart if you become an Instacart Express member. Some of the perks of this membership include free shipping on every order over $35 and lower fees.
Delivery Via Shipt
You can also shop for your favorite products from CVS through Shipt. This delivery service provider works similarly to Instacart. While there are various Shipt shipping fee options when it comes to grocery shopping, things may differ when ordering products from CVS. According to Shipt’s delivery page, if you’re not a Shipt member but you have a Shipt pass, this will cover your delivery fee no matter your order total.
