Not everyone has time to stop by the pharmacy every time a prescription needs refilling, and for some patients, getting there at all is the harder part. Oxford Pharmacies offers free home delivery across Port Coquitlam and the surrounding area to make staying on top of medications a little easier. Here's exactly how it works, who it's designed for, and how to combine it with our other services for a genuinely low-effort way to manage ongoing prescriptions.
Who Free Delivery Is For
Free delivery is available to any patient in our delivery area, but it's especially popular with a few groups: seniors who'd rather not make a special trip, parents managing prescriptions for the whole family, patients with mobility limitations, and anyone juggling multiple ongoing medications who wants one less errand on a busy week.
It's also a practical option for anyone dealing with a temporary setback, like recovering from surgery or an injury, where getting to the pharmacy in person simply isn't realistic for a while. You don't need to justify why you want delivery or fit into a particular category to request it — it's available to any patient who'd simply prefer it.
What's Included
There's no charge for local delivery within Port Coquitlam and the surrounding area. This isn't a one-time promotional offer — it's an ongoing service available for every eligible prescription, not just a first order.
- No charge for local delivery
- Automatic refill delivery available
- Ideal for seniors and patients with mobility limitations
- Delivery coordinated around your schedule
Setting Up Automatic Refill Delivery
Beyond one-off delivery requests, you can sign up once for automatic refill delivery, and we'll coordinate ongoing deliveries as your prescriptions come due, without you needing to call in each time. This is particularly useful for maintenance medications you take long-term, where the timing is predictable and you'd rather not think about it every month.
How to Get Started
Setting up delivery takes one conversation. Call us, visit in person, or reach out through our contact page to let us know you'd like delivery set up for your household. From there, we'll coordinate timing around your schedule so deliveries arrive when it's convenient, not just whenever it suits us.
There's no paperwork to fill out in advance and no commitment required beyond letting us know your address and preferred contact method. If your needs change later — you move, you'd rather switch to in-store pickup for a while, or you want to pause deliveries during a trip — just give us a call and we'll adjust.
Combining Delivery With Digital Refills
Delivery pairs naturally with our online refill requests. Instead of calling in a refill and then separately arranging pickup or delivery, you can request the refill online and have it delivered automatically once it's ready, cutting the whole process down to a couple of minutes of your time.
What About New Prescriptions or Transfers?
Delivery isn't limited to refills. If you're a new patient who just transferred a prescription to us, or you've picked up a new prescription from your doctor, you can still request delivery rather than an in-store pickup. Just let us know when you submit your prescription or transfer request.
This can be especially useful if you're switching pharmacies specifically because your previous one didn't offer delivery. Once your transfer is complete, you can set up delivery right away rather than waiting for your first refill cycle to come around.
Delivery Area
We deliver throughout Port Coquitlam and the surrounding area. If you're just outside what you'd consider the immediate neighbourhood, it's worth calling to confirm — our delivery zone is broader than many patients expect, and we're generally happy to work out a solution for nearby communities as well.
Delivery as Part of a Bigger Picture
Free delivery tends to matter most when it's paired with everything else that keeps a household on track with medications: automatic refill reminders, a pharmacist who knows your history, and an easy way to ask questions when something changes. Patients managing several long-term prescriptions often find that once delivery and automatic refills are set up, staying on schedule becomes far less effortful, which can make a real difference for conditions where consistency matters, such as blood pressure or diabetes management.
Common Questions About Delivery
Is there a minimum order for free delivery?
No minimum is required. Whether it's a single prescription or several, delivery within our local area is free.
How will I know when my delivery is on its way?
We'll coordinate timing with you directly, whether that's a call ahead of drop-off or a scheduled window that fits your day. If your schedule changes, just let us know and we can adjust.
Can someone else accept the delivery on my behalf?
Yes, a family member or caregiver at the same address can typically accept delivery, which is especially helpful for patients who aren't always home during the day.
What if I need my medication urgently and can't wait for scheduled delivery?
Let us know it's time-sensitive when you submit your request or call in, and we'll do our best to prioritize same-day delivery or suggest an in-store pickup if that's faster.
