  1. Registration: You sign up with a mail pharmacy, providing your personal and insurance information.
  2. Ordering: You place an order for your medications online, by phone, or through a mobile app. You can usually schedule a one-time order or set up a recurring order.
  3. Filling: The pharmacy fills your prescription and ships the medications to you.
  4. Delivery: Your medications are delivered to your home, usually within 3-10 business days, depending on the pharmacy and your location.
