Rethinking "Pharmacy Near Me" in Queens
When you search "pharmacy near me" in Queens, you're probably thinking about the closest CVS or Walgreens. But what if the best pharmacy "near you" isn't measured by driving distance—but by convenience, service quality, and delivery speed?
AV Chemist in Glendale delivers FREE to every Queens neighborhood within 1-2 hours. That makes us effectively "near you" no matter where in Queens you live—without the hassle of driving, parking, or waiting in line.
Why "Near Me" Doesn't Mean "Best Pharmacy"
Problems with "Closest" Pharmacy:
- • Long waits: "2 hours" often becomes 4-24 hours at chains
- • Driving/parking hassles: Queens traffic + limited parking
- • In-person pickup required: Waste time traveling
- • Limited hours: Closed evenings/weekends when you need them
- • Impersonal service: Different staff every visit
- • Stock issues: "Come back tomorrow" is common

Real Queens Residents Share Their Experience
"I live in Forest Hills and used to drive 10 minutes to CVS, spend 15 minutes finding parking, then wait 30+ minutes for my prescription. That's nearly an hour wasted. Now AV Chemist delivers to my apartment in 40 minutes while I'm working from home. Why would I ever drive to a pharmacy again?"
– Jennifer L., Forest Hills
"I'm in Flushing, 6 miles from AV Chemist. The closest Walgreens to me is 0.5 miles away. But Walgreens makes me wait 4+ hours for prescriptions and the service is terrible. AV Chemist delivers in 50 minutes with FREE delivery and actually knows who I am. Distance doesn't matter when the service is this good."
– Wei L., Flushing
"I used to think I needed a 'pharmacy near me' within walking distance. Then I realized CVS is terrible even though it's 2 blocks away. AV Chemist is 3 miles away but delivers for FREE, fills prescriptions fast, and the pharmacist actually cares about my health. 'Near me' now means 'delivers to me'—and AV Chemist is the closest."
– Michael D., Ridgewood
