You can select from one of two options for the amount of time it will take to get your printed documents: same-day pick-up, and delivery in 3-5 business days.
For same-day pick-up, this service is not available at all locations, so you should contact your local Walgreens (or use the Walgreens store locator) in advance and ask them about this).
