Drugstore.com Closing, Where to Buy Drugs?

I was surprised to learn that Drugstore.com will close at the end of September. I've been buying non-prescription drugs from them for a decade. Any suggestions for a good replacement?


Walgreens owns them so you can always go direct to their site.

I never did a price comparison, but have you considered Amazon? They're usually pretty competitive, particularly if you get their automatic 5% off store card and set up subscription deliveries.


I've been using Swanson, and have been very satisfied with their service. I also tried Dr. Vita a couple of times, but I was unhappy with the way they packed things.

Unfortunately, and surprisingly, the Walgreens.com site does not carry many of the harder-to-find and organic brands that are on drugstore.com. For example, We've been getting these all natural kids multivitamins on drugstore.com that are not listed on Walgreens.com. I'm hoping they will start to include these other items into the walgreens.com site after the closing, but I'm guessing they'll still only offer their standard stock. :-(

ETA: The other great thing about drugstore.com were the reviews of each item. They were quite extensive, and very helpful in making decisions when trying to select something sight unseen. People would often put helpful hints about what items were similar to other discontinued items (e.g., when my floss was no longer available, but it turned out it was now being sold under a different name with different packaging), and other useful information.
