AmazonPharmacy to Expand Same-Day Delivery to 80% More U.S. Cities by December 2026

Amazon Pharmacy will expand same-day prescription delivery to an additional 2,000 U.S. cities by December 31, 2026, as part of its broader acceleration of next-day and same-day shipping. The initiative will bring free same-day delivery to nearly 4,500 areas, including new coverage in Idaho and Massachusetts, where pharmacy access has been historically limited by closures, staffing shortages, and transportation barriers. In 2025, Amazon set a same- or next-day delivery record with over 13 billion items globally, and U.S. Prime members received more than 8 billion items the same or next day, a 30% increase from the prior year. The expansion aims to remove barriers to timely medication access, leveraging the company’s logistics network and in-person kiosks already in locations such as Manhattan, Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania, and Mackinac Island, Michigan.
