Amazon is no stranger to acquiring various companies and services, but it’s finally taking steps to streamline many of its purchases. . Amazon Pharmacy, which was acquired by Amazon in 2018 and launched in 2020, is slowly being integrated into one service. Amazon is also trying to integrate the online components of Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh in different ways.
PillPack is a service that sends medication packages to customers containing the pills needed for one day’s consumption. intended for general purchases. One of the planned changes is to allow PillPack users to manage their orders using their Amazon Pharmacy accounts. They can also use coupons and Prime discounts on PillPack purchases. Additionally, Amazon Pharmacy will accept Medicare through PillPack in January.
Amazon has plans, though This has not yet happened in the UK, Canada and Australia. The service remains in the US only.
Currently, both pharmacy services now ship orders from the same facilities, which is different from the previous arrangement. PillPack previously had its own capabilities, and the change will enable same-day delivery in 20 new cities, bringing the total available locations closer to 30, from less than 10 currently.
Amazon previously acquired Whole Foods in 2017, but it had nothing to do with Amazon’s regular grocery delivery or Amazon Fresh. Amazon now stocks popular items at Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh centers in the US, UK, Italy and Spain. Shoppers can now use Amazon Fresh more often instead of buying from multiple stores. A driver can also deliver everything in one order, which helps Amazon keep costs down.
In addition, Amazon is testing a mini-warehouse located in a Whole Foods store that allows customers to pick up orders. This warehouse holds products such as Coca-Cola and Oreos, which are not allowed in Whole Foods stores due to policies. Amazon intends to help shoppers avoid going to multiple stores due to product shortages.
