“In and out”

rick c.
8/24/23

When im in a hurry I can place an online order and its ready within 30 minutes. Most locations have the drive up area and wait time varies. Thing may cost a little more but there is never a hassle getting to items or in stock or in check out.

“Unreliable”

Merle B.
12/2/24

If I could give them 0 stars I would. Last month I submitted a new script & told it was early. They'd remind me when it could be filled. For weeks I keep getting reminders saying I have a prescription that needs a refill. They probably discarded the early prescription. Another prescription was out of stock without giving me a hint when it would be restocked. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED. The right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing.

Avoid 24th St & Park Ave So Walgreens
August 23rd, 2024
• Previous review

They don't deserve 1 star. I get so aggravated using their pharmacy. Every month I have to tell them to use a coupon on file. Do not submit to insurance. Every month they submit to insurance. It's upsetting to every month have to deal with these stupids.
Pharmacy takes pride in hiring people that are the most dumb!

Tip for consumers:
Avoid Walgreens altogether. I will be pulling my prescriptions from there.

I spent hours, but could not get a small order through their website. Like CVS, there are many repetitive sign in requests, and repetitive requests to pick a store location. At the very end I was asked to provide "contact information" as if that hadn't already been done. Their system said it did not sell toilet paper or paper towels, which of course it does. It's possible that small food items in the store, like small bags of chips, are not on the website. At the end of the process it just got stuck in a loop and would not move forward.

The App wasn't better than the web version for me. It was possibly worse.

I will say, Walgreens has some good employees and other virtues. This review is for the website.

I will never shop here again, and I'm moving my prescriptions. I have received 4 identical emails from Jill, from the 21st to the 1st. Jill is obviously a bot.
Customer service chat promised a refund within 3 business days….a week ago.
How did we get here? Walgreens changed my delivery order time, and split it into 3 orders. New time? When I was at work the next day. I reach out to chat to cancel. They tell me to call the store. The store claims to have cancelled. Next morning, I receive an email that 2 of the 3 parts that they split my order into have been delivered. One is nowhere to be found. The second is perishable. I use chat, and am told that they tried to refund it all, but the status is still pending for 2 of the 3 parts that they split it into. They have to open a case to refund the tip. It stays pending for a week. They tell me to return it in store. I go to the local store, and the girl with the 4 inch glitter nails and miles of attitude refuses the return, and tells me to take it back to the store that it came from. Which is nowhere near there, 4 cities away. I contact chat, who again says they can't refund because it's pending. In the meantime I get these emails from Jill the bot, "Sr specialist centralized services, with the same copy and paste. When it is finally not pending a day or two later, I contact them again. They said they can refund right? Nope. They said it needed "manager approval". I tell them I'm reporting it as fraud, and they promise a refund in 3 business days. Who refunded me after 5 business days? PayPal. Then they send me the same copy and paste from "Jill" that's they're working on it. Their chat workers will say "you're welcome" after you say "ok"
This is bottom barrel.
I have had rudeness and incompetence at the last two pharmacies, where the same girl insisted I had no prescriptions and she couldn't find my name- 4 different times, said that GoodRX didn't work with their pos (lie)and and the second lied to me about a price difference and overcharged me. Now this? I'm happy to change to CVS. Walgreens should be embarrassed by their employees.

Tip for consumers:
Please look at reviews before you go. Horrible service in store and online.

So I set up an online account with Walgreens, Name, address, valid debit card number, so I could get certain things delivered without having to drive into town. I'm semi-retired and on Medicare and I have the OTC Network card with a set amount on it every quarter. I heard Walgreens was the best place to use that card, hence the online account. I placed an order today for approximately $53, then entered the OTC Network account number and placed the order. My bank sent me a notice that a business I haven't done business with just extracted money from my personal bank account. I immediately called customer service to to cancel that order, now this all took place in a matter of 4-5 minutes, I was told it was already processed and there was nothing I could do except wait for it to be delivered. I will wait, then do a return. I'm just saying to all you retirees that if you have an OTC Network card, do not order online from Walgreens, go to their store if you like shopping there, I don't, never have, but a friend suggested I should. Some friend, huh? I wish I could give them less than 1 star.

Everytime, I go to Walgreens in WillsPoint, I have issues, maybe they're afraid to fill pain meds. Maybe they can't read, tell time., who knows. It's not Rocket Science, Bass Rutledge in Terrell, Tx. Pull up give them your birthdate, pay for your scripts.Your outta there in less than 3 minutes. You'd be doing yourself a favor, not dealing with employees who have a script in front of them telling how to do there job.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use the app. Walgreens is useless.

I've written to Walgreens "contact us ". I've spoken with my local Walgreens. I'm done. This is the last prescription I will get from Walgreens. They tell me that this is the smallest bottle they can fit this little bit of pills into. The SMALLEST. We all know, there are smaller bottles available. I've peeled the labels off & put the pills in much smaller bottles, but then I still have to dispose of this huge waste of hard plastic. No more. Be a better business to this planet!

Shopping at about half of the Walgreens, an employee runs for a side or rear door and creates a fast, automatic door slam noise. When it's supposed to be a gentle store that sells drugs to old people, I feel under pressure like a target and am worried about violence. The headquarters cannot afford security at the bad stores. I hope they close Walgreens and let CVS be the main drug store.

They are the most disgusting, hypocritical and dishonest company ever! Their $35 free shipping is a brazen and thorough lie. Once you reach $35, it always says the item exceeds the total free shipping limit and it will automatically add the same shipping cost, if not more. It doesn't matter how light or small the extra item is. And they often have false deals, like this olive oil in clearance for example, if you add some in your cart and try to check out, it will always prompt a message saying you can't buy them regardless of the quantity. There's one time I ordered some toilet paper from them and it advertised one equals 4 regular rolls. I only realized it's a total lie when the item arrived. It's only like 25% larger than any other roll I've seen in my life at best. Their agents were so shameless that they just denied the issue when confronted with solid evidence. In addition, their app discount coupon never worked when I try to check out, no matter how hard or how much time I try.

Tip for consumers:
Don't ever do business with them if possible!

For several years have used Walgreens for all my vaccinations and prescriptions, very accommodating. No more. They apparently have implemented a new business model based upon: "For every customer we lose, we'll get 5 new ones" Oh yeah? Color me gone. The "kiss my $#*!: attitudes of my local store don't work for me.

After placing several phone calls to the Lodi, N.J. Pharmacy location department and getting no where, I requested to speak to a manager that quickly resolved my issue with professionalism and understanding. She went above and beyond to make sure my needs were taking care of.

Walgreens pharmacist can be absolutely rude and disrespectful. I'm taking care of my parents and small children and work two jobs. Last thing I want to be in is pain. I want to avoid any surgery at all cost so my dr treatment plant was physical therapy and pain meds to control the pain and it works for me. It's a shame a pharmacist wants to judge you for your medication choices. Walgreens need to do better. Many people need specific medications due to the others having a bad side effect for them. Pharmacist, Stop playing with people lives and let them live and do they have to do to survive in less pain possible.

Walgreens sucks. I went to the trouble to order 4 vitamin items on line. At checkout there was a 'problem'. The problem was with walgreens. So i called the number to talk with someone. She offered to help me place the order. I had to read to her each item ordered. After 10 minutes she transferred me to the bill pay link. I entered my info and the bot said i would be connected back to the team member. After waiting 2 minutes, the call disconnected. I had no idea if the order went thru or not. The last time i ordered online there was also a problem and i had to straighten it out in the store. This chain of stores is not worth my time or yours.since this mishap was online i have no receipt.

They lied that they had a prescription in stock --FOUR times. As a result, it was too late in the day to get the prescription transferred. My wife went without eye medication for days. If her vision is permanently damaged, Walgreens will be sued. It is awful if the only way to conduct a retail business is to have my lawyer talk to their lawyer.

They are liars, irresponsible, and have zero compassion.

I will never do buskiness with those liars again..

Two lanes and one of them as being monopolized buy one lady who has been in the drive-through for over 30 minutes
You would think that they would tell her to get out of her car and go inside and work on the 10 cars that are behind her. She is monopolizing, and there's only one clerk at the window.
Of course you buzz the buzzer and she said she's only working with one lane right now and it continues and continues and continues. Trying to figure out what medicine she's going to get for somebody.

Products used:
Very very slow service in the drive-through
One lady is monopolizing the whole section and there’s 10 cars piling up. She’s been in the drive-through for over 30 minutes. And the clerk when you push the button and call for help, she said she’s only allowed to do one lady at a time so it doesn’t really matter exactly why they have two lanes here.

We enjoy the convenience of their drive thru window and that we can set up a notification service where they will contact you by phone when your prescription is near it's renewal date.

Just about everything I have bought since 2013 has either not worked, or been crap. Rechargeable batteries-garbage, sink strainers, rusted after 2 weeks. Still using the ones from the dollar store. Perfume spray difficult. Vitamin C smelled like fish oil. And my latest pain, I am 67 and can't buy wine or beer without an Id.
In the next 2 months I will be switching my prescriptions to CVS where they deliver.
I'm not worried, I won't be missed.

I just had back surgery and had a script at the pharmacy and the text said it was eligible for same day delivery with a fee. So I paid it. Received a text saying it would arrive by 7pm. I called the number provided and was told they have no control if they are picked up or not because they outsource the delivery. He told me sometimes they don't pick up for delivery for days. But you advertise same day? And charge for it. So, I have to suffer in pain because of Walgreens.
