Well, that does make sense.  From a business standpoint, why would Walgreens assume the cost and potential liability of distribution, where there is no profit to be made?  With big corporations it is always about the money, even when they manage to do something good.

I have always had it delivered to my house. Walgreen's does have a specialty pharmacy, so it could be if folks are using them, having it delivered to a Walgreen's retail outlet is an option. I don't use them, so just not sure.

I was reading here about the problems with ins etc on the topic today. I have no ins so it all comes from the manufacturer. When offered I selected my home for my first deliveries, and now tried to change that. Both the manufacturer of peg/copeg and vic told me, Im crazy that they do not ship to walgreens. Im like, did I just dream this, make it up or what, no matter how I protested they said to my house or my Dr were my only choices! How did people get it to Walgreens. Could it be that ins driven medication vs complete charity help provided medications changed my options? Thank you
