Mail Forwarding

1

Have pills sent to a safe and discreet location that are then forwarded to you.

Pills can be ordered and sent to a friend’s house and then sent to you, or you can use an online option to create a mail forwarding address. Note: New laws (called “shield laws”) allow doctors from other states to prescribe and send pills to those in states with abortion bans. Therefore, Aid Access ships to all states making mail-forwarding unnecessary. However, if you’re still concerned about having pills shipped directly to you, you can still use mail forwarding.
