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.
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.
Went to pick up wife's prescription; was not ready.
Went back with wife; was filled incorrectly.
Filled for wife
When she arrived home noticed prescription was partially filled (5 instead of 90) without informing

This is the third time, a Walgreens cashier has stolen from me. The first two times I caught the overcharging theft as soon as I left the store and immediately returned to have it corrected. This time I had walked all the way home and started putting my items away when I looked at the receipt and saw the scam. I contact Walgreens via customer service chat and was disconnected and told to walk all the way back to the store despite my disability and exhaustion and it being nighttime. I was even charged for an item I did not buy and overcharged again because the cashier did something and lost the scan of my savings card.

Randomly cancelled my order 3 times before accepting it and finally shipping it. The return process has been AWFUL! I am still waiting for a return 60 days later. Customer service is horrible. BUYER BEWARE!

They delay and scam you when you seek refund. I ordered High street spectacles, which they quickly accepted payment, but then they said they don't have the spectacles in stock. I requested refund they didn't reply unitl days later indicating they will discount a second pair. Wait I never received first pair. When I tried to get a refund, they said it was done, but here I am 39 days later and still no credit to my purchase. The worst customer service with real attitude. Still not refunded. No better way than to take it to social media. Good luck vision direct!

Walgreens.com is an easy to navigate site. Lots of products not available in store. I like that when you order online you still get points as you would in store. I've never dealt with the pharmacy online so I can't speak in that service. But I love the selection of products. Excellent beauty section!

I had a perscription for an antibiotic dr called in for 5 pills 1 a day for 5 days. Walgreens filled it for 4 pills and did not say anything to me about the change. Get home and see the issue call them was told that me insurance company would not cover 5 pills only 4. HERE'S THE KICKER NOT ONE PERSON SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH MY perscription then tell me I can buy another pill for 20.00. MOVING EVERYTHING TO CVS PHOTOS TOO.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use walgreens

I have used these guys many times and thus far I find them both fair and honest. I have never had any issues with shipping and they always work fast and keep you up to date! You will most likely have a good experience.

If you cannot make the drive to your local Walgreens or CVS this store is excellent -often with lower prices. If you combine eBates with the current DrugStore.com coupon codes you can get a lot off your purchase.

I was in the Walgreens on Pine Ridge in Fort Myers Florida and was rushing around looking for some specific when my change purse opened and all the change feel out. The cashier, Michelle, and another employee, did not get the name, stopped what they were doing to help me pick up all the change. I was truly thankful for their kindness.

I have been using this product for a long time, so I decided to finally write a review about it. The price is great, the products are also high quality, the only thing for which I will remove one star is that last time I did not like the attitude of the staff and so everything is great.

It is absolutely crazy what it takes to get your prescriptions filled. May take days and many trips to the local Walgreens to get it filled. Then you wait in lines because everyone else that did not get theirs filled during the day are in a line. Im done!

I was very leery about ordering from VisionDirect after reading some of the posts. The prices were so good, that I decided to take a chance and I am glad I did. I ordered on a Sunday, received an email Monday morning that there was a problem with my prescription (doctor wrote the wrong year), they contacted the his office and had them send them a correct script. I had my order by the end of the week. I will definitely order from them again.

I have a lifetime membership with Team National and since Drugstore.com is one of their affiliates, I get a percentage back on everything I purchase from them. I have used them regularly now for several years for many of my household and personal use needs. I like the previous purchased history they provide that allows me to select items that I buy regularly without searching for them again. They also offer additional discounts and coupons on many items that makes this site a no-brainer for me. Although there are some instances where I pay slightly more for some items, I consider myself still ahead since I can shop, place my order and receive it without ever leaving my home.
With all they have to offer, I have found their site pretty easy to navigate and searches are accurate and fast.

They took my order a week and a half ago, then today cancel. If it wasn't in stock you should have stated that when I ordered. I miss the sale price. It's like that's what you had in mind. I will never order from you again.

The WORST. I waited for 1 hour and 20 minutes for an appointment that I had made to receive a Covid booster. My husband went to Rite Aide and spent 10 minutes total for the same. Awful. Terrible. Total disorganization, customer service fail, time management fail. Why did I make an appointment when they waited on all coming in for prescriptions before me? NEVER will I step inside a Walgreens again. AVOID this chain as they fail miserably.

A follow up to my previous negative review of Walgreens for immunizations:
The next day, 8/15/23, after complaining online and to Walgreens itself, the Store Manager Mr. Kevin Frady called me. We talked about the situation, he said they actually did have the RSV vaccine and did not know why his staff told me they did not. He apologized for the poor service and promised to provide the correct service his customers deserve, if I would return for the immunizations. I agreed.
So the following day, Wednesday 8/16/23, my wife and I returned for our immunizations. Mr. Frady saw me, said hello, and went about his business running the store.
My wife and I went to the pharmacy on time for our scheduled appointment, went through the routine of filling out the paperwork and got our immunizations. My four vaccinations and my wife's single shot took 5-10 minutes total. But the whole process still took about 45 minutes. This time, there was no line for prescription refills, so the staff was not running ragged as it had been on Monday.
Overall, I wish the process was quicker. But my faith in Walgreens is restored. I give them 5 stars now.
Mr. Frady said goodbye when we left

I'm always amazed when a website has a "contact us" and then you get a form email asking you to call the 800# that was also listed on the website. Some of us don't have time to sit on hold and wait for a representative. I asked a very simple question about one of their lines of No7 skincare figuring it could have been answered with a simple email. I rather liked their products, but I'll have to find a new one.

I ordered glasses from this 'company' checked the delivery progress and notice that glasses are on backorder (yet they continue to be available for sale) request a refund in writing as per policy - they email saying will refund - 1 week later still no refund - now emails saying they will forward proof of refund - I don't want proof - I want it refunded!
This company is a scam and no one should purchase from them and lose money as I have.

I ordered some merchandise from Drugstore.com. The order was 100% wrong. Not a single item was what I ordered. I repackaged the items and returned them using a return label I had to print out and tock the package to the post office to return it ( they do not use UPS. After a few weeks I received a new package. Again it was 100% wrong. They must have monkeys filling randomly boxes and shipping them.

Worst service I have ever had at a Drug Store. Went through drive through and sat at the window for 20 minutes, no one said a word, Then they said that they could not see us. We rang the bell, they said it did not work. I asked why they did not have a simple sign up to notify or close the window, they had no response. Will not be going back and will transfer to CVS! My friend was just checked out of hospital and needed to be in bed and did not need this!

Unbelievable how bad their website was developed, slower than a snail to load any pages. If they're tricking people to download the app, it's as bad as the website and worst because it runs in the background despite turning it off in settings.

I normally order my contacts from a competing website, but visiondirect was HALF the price. So I ordered from them... and then read all these horrible reviews so needless to say - I was nervous. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones because I received my order in 3 DAYS and there are no issues whatsoever. I'll be back.

This company doesn't let consumer knows when back order will be delivered.
Consumer doesn't know what is going on a back order. Most of the product able to order at Amazon.
Drugstore.com need improve customer care to expand the business
