Many people rely on CVS for their pharmacy needs. CVS has been around for many years and has been offering the same services for a long time.
The store has expanded its offerings over the years and now offers customers with many different services, including prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, health products, and more.
In addition to the pharmacy services that CVS offers, they also offer customers with curbside pickup services at their stores. CVS offers this service for customers who want to avoid having to pay for shipping costs on items that they purchase from the store. The service is free of charge and allows you to bring items from the store directly to your home in order to save money on shipping costs.
Why Use the CVS Curbside Pickup Option
There are many reasons why customers would want to use the CVS curbside pickup option. Here are some of the most common reasons:
It is convenient
The service is very convenient for people who don’t want to waste time inside a CVS store. If you are someone who’s constantly on the go, this is a great option for you. You can just sit in your vehicles and have an employee come out and hand you your items. This means you don’t have to go through the arduous process of physically browsing the store for items that you need. It also means there’s no need to wait in long lines!
It helps save money on shipping costs
The service helps customers save money on shipping costs. If you purchase items online, it can be beneficial to use this method at CVS in order to significantly cut back on the cost of your purchases.
How to Know if Curbside Pickup is Available at Your CVS
The CVS Curbside Pickup option is available in 40 cities in the U.S., including New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, and more.
Is it possible for a CVS curbside pickup to be available in your area? For sure! You can use the CVS curbside pickup store finder in the app or online to find out the locations of specific stores and their availability.
If you do not already have the CVS Pharmacy app installed on your phone, download the app for your iOS or Android, and then use it to enjoy the convenience of CVS Curbside Pickup.
How to Use the Curbside Pickup Option with CVS
Here are the steps to using the curbside pickup method for your CVS purchases:
Browse for your items
First off, you would need to pick out the necessary items on the official CVS application. Of course, this is only an option if you have an account on the CVS application.
Pick for the curbside pickup option.
Make sure to choose the curbside pickup option. If it’s not available, then that particular CVS does not offer this pickup option.
Wait for their alert via text
You will get a text from the CVS staff to let you know when your items are ready for pickup.
Park by the store entrance
Go to the right CVS store and park by the entrance. A worker will come out and hand you the order you’ve made. And you’re done!
Other options if curbside pickup’s not available
If your local CVS doesn’t offer curbside pickup, it may offer in-store pickup. Here, again, not all stores offer this service, so you’ll need to check with your local CVS.
In-store pickup is very easy and convenient. All you need to do is order your items online or through the CVS app. When you’re done, choose “in-store pickup.” Most orders are filled the same day. After placing your order, it’s necessary to go to the store and pick up your order.
Use digital coupons and earn ExtraBucks with CVS pickup orders
Another great thing about ordering online is you can still earn ExtraBucks (the rewards program offered by CVS) on your order. In addition, you can apply digital coupons to your order. It’s essential to ensure you clip the coupons to your account and they’ll either say “in-store or online.”
Use Instacart coupons to save on CVS delivery
There may be times when it’s hard to head to the store; this is where Instcart can help.
You can shop at CVS through the Instacart app. You’ll have access to some sales through the app, along with some coupons. It’s also possible to earn 2% back with ExtraBucks on eligible purchases.
Order from CVS with DoorDash
Another convenient way to order from CVS is through DoorDash. You just head to CVS through the Instacart app and order the items you want. As you’re in the app, you may also find coupons for “$10 off $30” or “40% off three convenience orders,” and more.
No matter what, ordering CVS items through DoorDash is the ultimate in convenience! It’s delivered right to your door!
