Does it really matter that much when you can get same day delivery?

I think same day delivery only applies to urban and some suburban areas, definitely not the majority of rural America.

That is not a thing in rural areas, Prime 1 day is more like Prime 3 day

probably not as much as it would without mail delivery, but in person pharmacies have an important role.

Examples would be if you are discharged and need your medication that night, or for serving the disabled and handicapped.
