Can you fax at Walgreens? [All You Need To Know]
Although sharing documents has become very easy thanks to digital technology, there may still be situations where people need to use a fax machine.
With Walgreens offering a range of convenient services, you might be wondering: Can you send faxes from Walgreens? This is what I learned by contacting Walgreens customer service!
Can you send a fax to Walgreens?
Unfortunately, Walgreens customers cannot send faxes from any store. However, you can visit other stores, including Staples, Office Depot, UPS Store, and FedEx, to send faxes. A one-page local fax costs $1-2, long-distance faxes cost $2-4, and international faxes cost $6-8.
Since Walgreens does not have a fax machine for public use, you may be wondering what the alternatives are and how much it costs to send a fax. Read on to find out!
Where else can you send a fax from?
If you want to send or receive faxes, you can go to a store near you that has the following alternatives:
- Staples (send only)
- Office Depot/Office Max (Send Only)
- FedEx/Kincos
- AAA (AAA members only)
- Postal attachments (send only)
- Pilot flying J
Alternatively, you can go to a nearby bank or credit union, public library, hotel, travel agency, or city council office to send a fax.
Note that fax machines in these locations may not be available to the public, so in an emergency you can ask an employee to send the fax on your behalf.
Finally, you can also use some online services that make sending or receiving faxes quick and easy:
- Urban Fax
- my fax
- zero fax
How much does it cost to send a fax?
The cost of sending a fax depends on the number of pages you are sending, the service provider you use, and the distance you are faxing.
Generally, depending on the distance you send your fax, you should pay as follows:
- For a one page local fax: between $1 and $2
- For a one-page long-distance fax: between $2 and $4
- For a one-page international fax: between $6 and $8
Note that if you are an AAA member, you can send and receive faxes for free at any AAA location.
