Discreet Abortion Pill Delivery, Anywhere
Plain unbranded envelope, no clinic name, no return-address giveaway. Ship to a PO box, dorm, friend's place, or where you're traveling — your choice.
The most common question about medication abortion by mail: where can I have it shipped?
Good news: you've got options. The pills arrive in plain packaging with nothing on the outside to tip anyone off — and you don't have to use your home address.
How can I get abortion pills delivered discreetly?
Discreet delivery options people use:
- A college dorm or campus mailroom
- A shelter or transitional housing program
- A PO box
- A friend's, partner's, or family member's address
- Your workplace
- A pickup location (USPS Hold for Pickup, a UPS Store, or General Delivery)
Here's the breakdown of each.
What does the package look like?
Like any other small online order. No markings, no logos, no description of what's inside. The return address doesn't mention the clinic or anything about reproductive health. If somebody left it on your porch next to an Amazon delivery, you couldn't tell them apart.

What's in the unmarked abortion pill package?
Inside the plain mailer, you'll find:
- The FDA-approved medications used in medication abortion (one in a pill bottle, one in a box)
- A step-by-step instruction sheet
- A patient support phone number you can call with follow-up questions
- Sometimes a little extra — a handwritten note from one of our volunteers, a small piece of Roxy swag, or both (varies by package)
Everything comes packed in a plain, unmarked mailer — there's nothing on the outside that gives away what's inside.
Delivery to a College Dorm
Yes, abortion pills can be delivered to your college dorm.
If your dorm receives USPS or other carrier deliveries, you can have your medication shipped there.
How campus mail works:
Most colleges have a campus mailroom or package center. You'll get a notification when a package arrives, and you pick it up with your student ID. Mailroom staff handles hundreds of packages a day — yours will look like every other one.
Tips for dorm delivery:
- Use your full name exactly as it appears in the campus mail system
- Include your dorm building and room number
- Check your campus mail policy to confirm they accept packages from outside carriers
- If your school uses a locker pickup system, that's even more private
Got a roommate? The package is small and unmarked. Even if she sees it arrive, there's nothing on the outside to raise questions. Looks like a routine delivery.
Delivery to a Shelter or Transitional Housing
Yes, you can receive abortion pills at a shelter or transitional housing program.
A lot of people in shelters or temporary housing think they can't access telehealth care because they don't have a permanent address. Not true. If you can get mail where you're staying, you can get your medication.
- Ask your shelter's front desk how they handle mail delivery
- Some shelters accept packages on your behalf and hold them for pickup
- If the shelter doesn't accept packages, you can use a nearby alternative — a PO box, a trusted friend's address, or post office pickup
Our sliding scale means cost doesn't have to stop you — services run from $0 to $145 based on what you can pay.
Delivery to a PO Box
Yes, abortion pills can be shipped to a PO box.
A PO box is one of the most private options out there. Only you have the key or combination. Nobody else gets into your mail.
How to get a PO box:
- Visit your local post office and fill out a short application
- Bring a photo ID and a second form of ID (a utility bill or bank statement works)
- Costs run $20 to $40 for three months, depending on location and box size
- The smallest box size is usually enough for medication packages
Good option if:
- You share your home with people who check the mail
- You want an extra layer of privacy
- You'd rather not have anything delivered to your home address at all
Can I have abortion pills delivered to a friend's address?
Yes, you can have abortion pills shipped to a friend's, partner's, or family member's address.
During your consultation, you can give whatever shipping address works for you. It doesn't have to match your home address. A lot of people send the medication to a trusted friend, partner, or family member's place.
What to know before using a friend's address:
- Let the person at that address know to expect a package, so it doesn't get set aside or returned
- The package will have your name on it (or whatever name you provide)
- Make sure someone can receive it or that it can be left somewhere safe
- Coordinate with them about when you'll pick it up so it doesn't get misplaced
Delivery to Your Workplace
Yes, if you can receive personal packages at work, this is an option.
Some people find it easier to receive a package at work, where they have more control over who sees their mail. Since the packaging is plain, it won't stand out from any other delivery.
This works best if:
- You have a desk, locker, or mailbox at work
- Personal packages are allowed at your workplace
- You're comfortable receiving mail there
Package Pickup Without a Personal Address
Rather not have anything delivered to an address tied to you? There are pickup options, depending on which carrier delivers your package. (Heads up: Amazon Lockers only accept Amazon orders, so they won't work — but these alternatives will.)
USPS Hold for Pickup or General Delivery
You can ask that your package be held at your local post office. When it arrives, you show your ID at the counter and they hand it over. No permanent address? USPS General Delivery lets you receive mail at a post office using just your name — no address needed. Use: Your Name, General Delivery, City, State, ZIP.
UPS Store
A UPS Store will accept packages from any carrier — USPS, FedEx, UPS, others. Some locations charge a small fee (around $5 per package). You walk in, show your ID, and pick it up. Most don't require an account.
UPS Access Point
UPS Access Points are participating convenience stores, grocery stores, and other businesses where you can have UPS packages redirected for pickup.
FedEx Hold at Location
FedEx has a similar service — you can redirect your package to a nearby FedEx Office or participating retail location for pickup.
Which one's best for you?
Depends on which carrier Roxy uses for your shipment. Mention during your consultation that you'd like to pick up at a carrier location, and the team will help you figure out the best option.
How Long Does Delivery Take?
Medication from Roxy typically arrives 2 to 5 business days after your prescription is approved. You'll get tracking info so you know exactly when to expect it.
If timing is urgent, tell your provider during the consultation. They can talk through your options based on how far along you are.
Your Delivery Is Private and Protected
- Plain packaging with no clinic name, no medical labels, no hint of what's inside
- Discreet return address that doesn't mention abortion or reproductive health
- HIPAA-protected medical records — your consultation and prescription info is confidential
- Nobody gets notified about your care. Not your school, not your job, not your family.
