Yes, you can get Plan B (levonorgestrel) emergency contraception delivered same day through services like CVS, Walgreens, and Wisp, but ella (ulipristal acetate) and prescription-only options generally require overnight shipping and are not guaranteed same-day delivery.
Key Details by Method:
| Method | Prescription Needed? | Same-Day Delivery Available? | Best Service Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) | ❌ No (OTC) | ✅ Yes | CVS, Walgreens, Wisp |
| ella (ulipristal acetate) | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (overnight only) | Planned Parenthood Direct, Nurx |
| Generic Plan B | ❌ No (OTC) | ✅ Yes (via Amazon in 1–2 days) | Amazon, local pharmacies |
How to Get Same-Day Delivery:
- CVS: Offers same-day delivery for Plan B One-Step, with options as fast as 1 hour in select areas [6][8].
- Walgreens: Provides same-day delivery for Plan B, with delivery as soon as 1 hour [8].
- Wisp: Advertises 3-hour pickup or 1-day delivery for Levonorgestrel (Plan B) [2].
- Amazon: Ships generic Plan B in 1–2 days, not same day [5].
Important Notes:
- Plan B must be taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex and is more effective the sooner you take it [2][6].
- ella works up to 120 hours (5 days) but is prescription-only and shipped via overnight delivery, not same day [1][3].
- If you need emergency contraception immediately and same-day delivery isn’t feasible, consider picking up Plan B at a local pharmacy or visiting a Planned Parenthood health center [1].
Recommendation:
For fastest same-day access, use CVS or Walgreens same-day delivery for Plan B One-Step. If you’re beyond 72 hours or need more time, consult a provider for ella or a copper IUD, which are effective up to 5 days [1][4].
Always take emergency contraception as soon as possible for best effectiveness.
