Does anyone have knowledge of the cost to WBA to DASH or UBER, is it per delivery (doubt) number of deliveries per week/month (doubt) or a flat fee based on volume (likely) I cannot find the info anywhere and the IR person at WBA hasn't responded yet...thx
My wife had 3 rx's at a store ~6 miles from us and she was away til today (Monday) I called Saturday for delivery and specifically said NO RUSH, Monday is fine and it arrived ~3 hours later. That's awesome as a customer who needs meds ASAP but must be most expensive to WBA than 2-3 day delivery

The horse is already out of the barn..they should have delivered condoms. WBA big rebates from pharma for this. How else can it be profitable.

HIV meds? Really? You’d think someone would have figured out same day delivery like a decades ago?

Two profit less companies and a pharmacy retailer wall into a bar...
