Customers can contact CVS for delivery in two ways. The first is to simply call their local store and ask for a delivery. The second is to use the retail chain’s mobile app to place the order.

This includes several small items, such as allergy medications, feminine care products, pain relief and more. The chain is also adding more new items that can be delivered to customers alongside their prescriptions.
