    Try one prescription first

    Don't transfer everything at once. Pick one maintenance medication you take daily and try Amazon Pharmacy. See how it works — delivery time, packaging, customer service. If you like it, transfer more. If not, no big deal. Many seniors find Amazon Pharmacy 30% cheaper than their old pharmacy with much more convenience.
