- • Pharmacy closes early: Most close counter at 9-10 PM even if store is open
- • Limited 24-hour locations: Very few in Queens actually operate 24/7
- • Long waits even in emergencies: 1-2+ hour waits common
- • No delivery after hours: Must drive to store yourself
- • "Come back tomorrow": Stock issues at night aren't resolved urgently
- • No pharmacist counseling: Too busy to explain emergency medications

Real Emergency Prescription Stories
ER Discharge at Midnight - Antibiotics Needed
"I had appendicitis and was discharged from Elmhurst Hospital at 11:45 PM with prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medication. CVS said 'pharmacy is closed, come back tomorrow.' I couldn't wait—risk of infection. Called AV Chemist at midnight, they filled both prescriptions and delivered to my Corona apartment by 1:20 AM. This service literally prevented a medical emergency."
– James T., Corona
Child's High Fever at 2 AM
"My 3-year-old daughter had a 105° fever at 2 AM on Saturday. Urgent care saw us at 3 AM and prescribed antibiotics. Every pharmacy was closed. I was terrified. Found AV Chemist's emergency line, called at 3:30 AM, and they delivered to our Forest Hills apartment by 4:45 AM. My daughter started antibiotics 12 hours earlier than if we'd waited for morning. As a parent, this service is priceless."
– Rachel K., Forest Hills
Ran Out of Heart Medication on Sunday
"I take blood pressure and heart medication daily. Realized Sunday night I was out and hadn't refilled. Missing doses could cause heart attack. Walgreens closed, CVS closed. Panicked. Called AV Chemist at 9 PM Sunday, they processed emergency refill and delivered to my Rego Park home by 10:15 PM. Took my medication on schedule. This service saved my life."
– Robert M., Rego Park
