Many people are relying on Instacart to get groceries and household essentials. For many people, shopping goes beyond produce, meat and pantry staples, it also includes getting much needed medications. Costco prescription delivery via Instacart is now available nationally from more than 500 Costco pharmacies across 42 states including Washington, D.C., with nearly 100% coverage in each state.
The new offering allows Costco members and customers to complete their entire shopping trip online — from groceries and household goods to alcohol* and essential prescription medications — and have it all delivered to their door.
Costco members and customers should arrange for their prescription to be filled at their local, participating Costco location either over the phone, online or in-person. Once the prescription is ready, the customer will receive a text message from their Costco pharmacy. In the text, they will see a link with the option to schedule their prescription for delivery. Once the customer clicks the link, they will be redirected to Costco’s site where the customer can confirm their prescription, sign into their Costco or Instacart account and continue to add groceries and household goods to their order if they choose. When the customer is ready to check out, they can select a delivery time and receive their order as fast as same-day.
Instacart is offering contactless prescription delivery in participating states for most medications, allowing shoppers to simply scan a customer’s ID for verification without a signature. Customers ordering prescription medications from Costco via Instacart must be over the age of 18, and are required to enter their date of birth at checkout and present a valid government ID at the time of delivery. In the coming weeks, the service will roll out an additional opt-in customer identity verification feature. It will allow customers to scan their own ID via the Instacart app and sign their own personal mobile device at delivery to verify their identity. Shoppers will still need to visually confirm that the ID belongs to the customer, but they can do this from six feet apart.
Shoppers pick up and deliver all prescription orders in a sealed, tamper-proof bag. Instacart’s prescription delivery service allows Costco members and customers to schedule delivery up to one week in advance. To ensure customers receive their prescription in a timely manner, Instacart recommends customers schedule their delivery as soon as they receive notification that their medication is available for pickup. In order to ensure a seamless prescription delivery experience for customers and shoppers, Instacart has dedicated a special care team to manage any relevant prescription-related inquiries.
Enter your zip code on Instacart or the mobile app to see if prescription delivery is available from a Costco pharmacy location near you.

Due to the spread of coronavirus, the Girl Scouts of the USA have suspended all in-person activities and events. Unfortunately, this has impacted cookie booth sales. Consumers can still support their local troops through Girl Scouts Cookie Care, a campaign that lets consumers order and donate cookies online.
“For 108 years, Girl Scouts has been there in times of crisis and turmoil,” says Girl Scouts of the USA CEO Sylvia Acevedo. “And today we are stepping forward with new initiatives to help girls, their families, and consumers connect, explore, find comfort, and take action.”
Consumers can also purchase cookies from Girl Scouts they know who are selling through the Digital Cookie platform, including the Digital Order Card and Smart Cookies. Cookie fans should also watch out for “virtual cookie booths,” as many Girl Scouts are reinventing the cookie booth through virtual means. However you purchase cookies. The proceeds from these sales allow Girl Scouts to give back to their local communities.
The organization has also launched Girl Scouts at Home, a national online platform where all girls and families, not just Girl Scout members, can access free, self-guided activities from GSUSA’s expert programming. These age-specific activities for girls of all grade levels are delivered through guided videos, text-based instructions and downloadable information, making it seamless for families to incorporate into their daily lives. More program-based options will be added in the coming weeks, allowing girls to earn badges, tune in to live virtual events, and connect online for troop meetings and projects.
