This looks great. Today I'm sick WFH and could really use some meds delivered. I signed up for an invite... what is the process/wait time like? I may have to try something else if I'll need to wait too long.

You can get your pharmacy orders picked up in SF by Exec (http://iamexec.com). In California your assistant only needs your name, address and phone number to get your prescribed medications.

Unfortunately for you I would expect medicine to be something they won't deliver. Alcohol, too.

I was thinking more like cough drops and advil, not prescriptions... would those still be outside the acceptable list of things to deliver?

I ordered Advil through instacart. Really saved me.
