After a move across the country, I requested CVS to take over my prescription. I can't remember the specifics, but they botched it in the most incompetent way possible. My doctor recommended asking for a few pills to tide me over while they figured it out, and the very same people who botched it treated me like a drug seeker (for drugs with no recreational use, no less).
Amazon were able to find and transfer my prescription in less than 10 minutes. The prescription was on my doorstep a day later. For this very specific scenario, I wouldn't agree that Amazon is winning because they are big vs. small. It is more competent vs. incompetent.
> their uninsured price is actually cheaper
Yep, I don't use insurance to pay for my prescription.
Yep also Amazon gets the need for 180 day refills and will happily issue refills a month or even more in advance.
Local pharmacy would often only give 30 days at a time and not refill until 3 days before the 30 days is over, are they fucking crazy do they think people don't travel? There are things called planes and trains that they might not yet have heard of, they get people around the world, so I don't sit at home in CA all year
