Delivery & pickup

Four ways to get your prescription.

Most Ontarians qualify for free same-day or next-day delivery. If you're in a hurry after noon, Uber Direct rushes it at cost. Or pick it up yourself.

  • Standard same-day

    Order by 12 PM

    Free

    Order before noon from anywhere in the GTA and a local courier aims to deliver the same day — free. Same-day delivery is best-effort; weather and traffic can shift things into the evening or next morning.

    Delivered in the Greater Toronto Area

  • Rush same-day (Uber Direct)

    12 PM – 6 PM

    At cost

    Missed the noon cut-off? We'll rush it via Uber Direct — you see the exact courier fee before you confirm.

    Uber Direct rate passed through at checkout (typically $8–$20 in the GTA).

    Greater Toronto Area

  • Next-day

    Anytime

    Free

    Free tracked delivery the next business day, anywhere in Ontario. Useful for anything outside the same-day zone or past the 6 PM cut-off.

    Anywhere in Ontario

  • Pickup in-store

    Same-day, during pharmacy hours

    Free

    Skip delivery entirely and pick your prescription up at your assigned partner pharmacy — typically ready the same day after the pharmacist's review.

Questions

Things people ask us.

Yes. When you book you can choose virtual (phone or video) or in-person. In-person visits happen at the participating pharmacy assigned to your visit — see the partner directory for locations.

Order before noon and standard same-day delivery is free. Between noon and 6 PM, we rush it with Uber Direct — you see the exact courier fee before you confirm (usually $8–$20 across the GTA). After 6 PM, orders ship the next business day. Anywhere outside the same-day zone is free next-day.

Yes. Since January 2023 Ontario pharmacists have been authorized to assess and prescribe for specific minor ailments, regulated by the Ontario College of Pharmacists. The list grew from 19 to 28 on July 1, 2026. Ontario Virtual Pharmacist operates strictly within this scope.

Ontario Virtual Pharmacist is a marketplace — we don't dispense ourselves. Each visit is routed to a participating Ontario-accredited pharmacy based on your delivery address. Your confirmation email tells you which pharmacy is filling your script, and you can see the full network with OCP accreditation details on our /partners page.

If your case needs a doctor — because of red-flag symptoms, a condition outside our scope, or because the pharmacist judges an in-person exam is needed — we tell you directly and send you to the right care (Health Connect Ontario 811, a walk-in clinic, or 911 for emergencies).

Your personal health information is protected under Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA). All data is stored in Canadian data centres, encrypted at rest and in transit, and only accessible to the pharmacist assessing you. See our Privacy page for full details.

Feel off? Don't waste your afternoon.

Start a visit in three minutes. A licensed Ontario pharmacist calls back as soon as they're available. Your prescription arrives at your door — same day across the GTA when you order before noon.
