I saw that.

I sent that to some people I know who might benefit.

I just checked this out and I thought it really did not offer a ton of value over mail order or picking prescriptions at the pharmacy. It is only a 30 day supply that is shipped to Prime member two-day for free. No auto-refills.

Given that some pharmacies are even delivering for free, I do not see this as even being competitive. Maybe if you were in an area where a pharmacy was far away and didn't deliver???

I am now aware of the service, but will not be suggesting or recommending to my clients.
