“It's convenient for me”

David N.
3/20/24

Walgreens is the most convenient to my home and they usually have what I need. I did however find out recently that my prescriptions would be lower at a different pharmacy.

Top Critical Review

“Website Is A Huge Waste Of Time”

Twentieth Century Woman X.
11/5/24

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.

Dont use Walgreens for Covid or any other vaccines!

Their website makes you think that they have appointments available BUT THEY DONT! The website makes you enter all your personal information only to tell you in the end that there aren't any available.

Now they have my personal information and they are spamming me with ads!

Tip for consumers:
Don't use the site at all!

Walgreens is definitely the only place I will get my prescribed medicines!
I have shopped at several Pharmacies in the past 45 years. One Pharmacy neglected to pay attention to the Contraindication Alerts, gave me two medications that are NEVER allowed to be prescribed together, and I nearly died. Other Pharmacies have not made that drastic an error, but I have found that many Pharmacies will charge more than they should. This has digruntled me, and made me feel that Pharmacists just cannot be trusted.
Then, I began to get my prescription drugs from Walgreens. I have been with them many years, and not once have they made a mistake. Correction: they made a mistake one time, but not a serious one. They have correctly filled several hundred prescriptions for me. I had been very ill, and now, though I am still disabled, I am much healthier.
The staff at Walgreens' stores are unfailingly polite, helpful, considerate, and truly give the best service.
The Pharmacists will ALWAYS answer any questions I have about medications. Sometimes, they even offer information before I can ask for the Pharmacists.
I am not thrilled with the prices on the vitamins, supplements, or ace wraps. They also do not carry all of the products I usually buy.
However, for a Drugstore, Walgreens hands-down scores the highest ratings from me EVERY TIME!

The only place to go for your hair system needs! I've been working with Walgreens for about a year and a half now and I've never had a problem with any of my orders.

I have used Acuvue Oasis for over 15 years with a local optometrist. However, I tried Vision Direct on 2 separate occasions and both times my contacts dryed out quickly and felt like they were falling out of my eyes. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY OF MY CONTACTS ONLY FROM VISION DIRECT. They somehow manage to package the contacts the exact same way but they are generic. I am upset because I paid more for these contacts! DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY, IT IS NOT WORTH IT!

Run from Vision Direct (VD) as fast as you can! My experience: 5/15 ordered with scanned prescription. 5/23 received no word from VD, I call them and discover that prescription was verified on 5/20 and it will take another 4-7 days to get lenses out to me. 6/2 advised VD that prescription is wrong, VD stated they told me their was a problem but DR said it was ok. Untrue - they never contacted me about prscription differences. Must send me refund because they "can't" apply the dollars to a correct order per the prescription they already have. Sent me return label. Mailed 6/5 rec'd by VD on 6/12 "In Processing". 6/17 I write: where's my refund. They state can take 30 days to process. I say process unopened, returned lenses ASAP. 6/18 I write, where's my refund and I will file PayPal complaint if they do not refund ASAP. They tell me that "If you file a PayPal complaint it will delay processing my next order". I say process ASAP. 6/23 I write "Refund my money now or I am filing complaint and your threats mean nothing to me. 6/23 within 3 hours I have my refund less their $1.99 process fee. I hope they enjoy their $1.99 because that's all they will ever get from me.
During all this I ordered from BestPriceContacts.com on 6/4 with same scanned prescription. My order was $20 less than VD (even with their 20% discount) and I received my (correct) order within 4 days.

Refused to honor a WALGREEN gift card, to me as xmas gift. Card was never used and a call to corporate confirmed that; it was still valid... just "frozen pending gift card department review"; said another way, we have closed the card and suspended it from use [even though card never used]. The advertise, even today, that walgreens cards NEVER Expire or GO bad. What they really do is freeze them after a couple of years if not used. THIS misbehavior allows corporate to take the liability off their books. How many thousands of people have been ripped off this way? BEWARE DO NOT BUY OR GIVE WALGREENS GIFT CARDS; AND IF YOU DO, USE THEM IMMEDIATELY OR WALGREENS WILL CLOSE THEM OUT, KIND OF LIKE STEALING FROM YOUR WALLET OR PURSE, EH?

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT BUY WALGREENS GIFT CARDS, YOU MAY LOSE ALL THE MONEY YOU PAID.

BOUGHT THE GIFT CARD AND DISHONORED BY WALGREENS.

The site is very easy to use and navigate, but the products are very expensive. You can almost use this site as a reference for how much the max you should pay for something.

The 24 hour store is only open till 10pm. Ok... np. I went down there to find that their unpublished hours are to 9pm. I wasted a trip because Walgreens doesn't publish their unofficial hours.

Nice to look up ad then download coupons from site to card! They dont put the ad in the newspaper anymore, so it has become necessary to navigate the site!

Dishonest! Fills prescriptions early for only certain customers. By picking and choosing which customers for early refill
Nothing more than discrimination

I talked to the pharmacist in walgreens in youngsville la.
I was taking an antibiotic and had to take another for a differant situation.
The question was can i take them together? SHE HAD NO CLUE? SAID I SHOULD CALL MY DENTIST.
The second anti was for a dental procedure because i have a knee replacement.
The first one was for a sinus infection?
How can she not know this?

I put in my order on Sunday, 2/19/17. By Friday I still never heard anything about my order with the exception of one email confirmation from the first day that they had received my order. I called them on Friday on my lunch break to find out the issue. They claimed they had called and emailed my doctor but got no response. I asked what number they were using & they told me my cell phone number. That was bull because I never received any calls or email from them. I gave them the correct number & told them to call my doctor immediately before they close for the day. Today is Wednesday, March 1st and they still haven't processed my order! I called this morning to find out what the deal was. They said they have been faxing & calling my doctor with no response. I called my doctor immediately & asked if they received any calls, emails, or faxes from VisionDirect & they said no, they didn't. I called VisionDirect back & told them I wanted them to call my doctor immediately while I hold the line. She said she can't make outgoing calls. I said I want to speak to your manager now. She said there is no manager available now, but I can submit a ticket for one to get in touch with you within 24 hours. I said, no, that's not acceptable! Cancel my order! I have had enough! This is ridiculous! Nobody should be lied to and given the run around just to get a better price!? I would never recommend them to ANYBODY! Horrible service!

Walgreens has gone downhill since COVID and I will never use them. Many of their pharmacies have a single drive-through lane. Some manager thinks it's a good idea for the people to sit in line for an hour waiting for four COVID testers in front of them. It doesn't matter to Walgreens that I am disabled and cannot go into the store. Curb pickup is a big joke. They don't have enough employees to run the store.

The most recent experience is most horrid. I have filled a prescription twice and they have canceled it twice and not notified me of anything other than confirmation of request and I needed to wait because they were out of the stock. Who runs out of synthroid? It is a basic Rx that many people use. The first time I used the website to fill the prescription. A week later there's still no medication and they've completely canceled the prescription refill. I call on the phone and I asked them to fill the prescription and mail it to me as I requested in the beginning. No prescription, the girl didn't even enter the refill. It's just sitting out there in limbo waiting for me to refill it at a different pharmacy. Trust me I will never use Walgreens again. I had already moved the majority of my medications to an online pharmacy because of bad service. I am very happy with them and I will use Walmart for emergency medications. Walgreens no longer stocks basic medications. Sad, I used to use them all the time. They're just at the end of my street. They have overcharged
Medicare and force multiple store visits to fill one Rx.
