When registering for an appointment, please select the home delivery option if you would like that or select NO to the home delivery and DO NOT enter a preferred pharmacy and it will automatically default to the closest Rexall location if you prefer to pick up. If you elect to pick up in person, you will receive an email with the address to where the prescription was sent.
