BENTONVILLE, Ark., Oct. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Sam's Club
announced it is partnering with DoorDash to offer same-day
pharmaceutical delivery across the country. This first-of-its-kind
pharmaceutical delivery experience from DoorDash covers more than
500 Sam's Club locations across 41 states in the U.S., and is
powered exclusively through Drive, DoorDash's white-label
fulfillment platform that powers direct delivery for business
partners.
Sam's Club announced it is partnering with DoorDash to offer
same-day pharmaceutical delivery across the country.
Sam's Club members can receive free delivery on their first two
pharmacy orders until Jan. 31, 2022.
After this promotion is utilized or expires, delivery will carry a
flat fee of $7.99 for all
patients.
To experience the new service, patients can call their local
Sam's Club Pharmacies and speak to a Sam's Club Pharmacist to
schedule delivery. Through the DoorDash Drive integration, Dashers
will fulfill eligible pharmacy order deliveries from Sam's Club.
Sam's Club is taking steps to make Rx delivery options available in
the Sam's Club app in the first half of 2021.
"Our partnership with DoorDash to launch this new service allows
us to not only give our members more convenient healthcare options,
but also delivers on our commitment to their overall wellness
needs," said John McDowell, Vice
President, Pharmacy Operations and Divisional Merchandise, Sam's
Club. "Sam's Club has always adapted to our members changing needs,
and that's never been truer than today as we continue to evolve our
ways of shopping to help them live healthier, happier lives."
Sam's Club's pharmacy services have ranked highest in customer
satisfaction with mass merchandiser pharmacies five years in a row,
according to the J.D. Power 2020 U.S. Pharmacy Study*, and the
warehouse club is constantly looking for new ways to improve and
innovate the member experience.
"Businesses have evolved amidst the pandemic to prioritize the
safety of their communities and to adapt to new consumer habits,
and our goal is to help merchants meet those demands in a way
that's best for their business," said Christopher Payne, Chief Operating Officer,
DoorDash. "Same-day pharmaceutical deliveries have never been more
important in today's health climate, and we're incredibly honored
to team up with Sam's Club to make that option a reality for their
business and for their customers. Through this partnership, Sam's
Club can continue to provide the quality and service their patients
expect, made even more reliable and safe with store-to-door
delivery powered by DoorDash."
This marks DoorDash's first pharmaceutical partnership of this
kind at scale, launching with one of the nation's leading wholesale
clubs. Sam's Club chose DoorDash for its commitment to quality
logistics, vast geographic footprint in the U.S., and reputation
for providing a reliable, on-time delivery platform.
