Shoppers Drug Mart - Do not buy shoppers drug mart gift cards
During Christmas, I bought 3 sets of perfume/cologne sampler sets from Shoppers Drug Mart. One was just for me. When I purchased the sets, I specifically asked if there was an expiry date on them. I was told “no”! I wanted to redeem the voucher the other night (Wednesday, November 13, 2024) and was told that they could not help me and that I would have to...
Read full review of Shoppers Drug MartPoor Customer Service costs disabled man 50 Dollars
Purchased a chatter card for 5o dollars at the midland store. Shoppers does something that i have never seen any other store they print the chatter code on a separate piece besides on the receipt. So i lost the code sheet but still had the receipt. I am told that nothing can be done to retrieve the code. The fact that its impossible to get chatter to talk to any human service is as dad as having the cashier not staple but tape the receipt and code together. I wonder how many times this has happened to other people . I am never buying from this store again.
Recommendation: Put the code on the receipt or simply staple the code sheet to the receipt
Sooke Shoppers - Not a good place to get a prescription filled
Yet again, for at least the 4th time this year, they have managed to lose or screw up a prescription. Its almost like they have too many customers and have stopped actually trying to do it right. Being told "we haven't gotten to it yet" then lied to when you come back, then the prescription just being filled incorrectly, it does seem fairly apparent that they really need to lose a lot of their business to the other two pharmacies in town (or accidentally kill someone) before anyone there is going to care. Will try the other pharmacies and see if i can get a better outcome
Recommendation: Try the other pharmacies in town instead
When it comes to prescriptions, there's zero room for mistakes. This kind of incompetence is not just annoying; it's dangerous. My advice: switch pharmacies immediately and don't look back. Your health and peace of mind are too important to leave in the hands of people who can't get it right. Document everything and report these incidents to higher management. If they won't change, take your business where it's valued and respected. Don't settle for less when it comes to your well-being.

Canceled my filled prescription and did not bother to tell me.
Canceled my filled prescription and did not bother to tell me. When I got there and going through 4 people they figured out that they had Canceled my prescription and gave to someone because of a shortage, I am a senior and depend on someone to take me to pickup my prescription, had they texted me I wouldn't have called my friend to take me to the pharmacy. Worst pharmacy ever please find another pharmacy to Business with
No public washrooms.
You would think a store that big could accommodate customers who spend tons of money there. But no. You are told to go to SOBEYS or A&W to use a washroom
I hope, this catches up with Shoppers and affects them. After all, YOU depend on people to thrive. No respect for your customers. It isn't cool. You have lost my business completely. I will tell everyone I know to go elsewhere.
Recommendation: Avoid this store as they have disrepect for customers in the fact they don't have washrooms.n
Covid-19 appointment and service 1077 north service road

1077 North Service Road
Mississauga, ON
Subject: Complaint Regarding COVID-19 Vaccine Booking and Service
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my deep disappointment with our experience today at your Shoppers Drug Mart 1077 North Service Road, Mississauga, ON, specifically regarding our COVID-19 vaccine booster appointment.
Upon arriving at the pharmacy for our 4:30 pm appointment on 10/13/2023, we were informed by the Pharmacist, Mina Shenouda, that only the older COVID vaccine was available. This lack of transparency was a concern, as it was not indicated on your website.
What compounded our dissatisfaction was the pharmacist's dismissive and condescending attitude. When my husband raised concerns, the pharmacist failed to offer any apology or explanation. Furthermore, the pharmacist offered to apply the older vaccine, which we declined as it was not what we had booked for.
We believe that your website should clearly state vaccine availability. However, the pharmacist did not address our concerns properly and offered limited choices, failing to provide constructive assistance.
As senior citizens, we had taken considerable effort to book the appointment and drive 5 kilometers to your pharmacy. We expected respectful treatment and better service.
In the interest of public health and safety, it is vital for healthcare providers like Shoppers Drug Mart to provide accurate information and compassionate service, especially to seniors.
We hope our feedback will prompt improvements and appreciate your response to this complaint.
I would give a negative rating if there was an option.
Recommendation: We cannot recommend Shoppers Drug Mart for COVID-19 vaccinations based on our experience. We suggest government facilities for a higher level of service and transparency.

Store in general!
I wanted to inform corporate about my store experience! I have been shopping with the Millwoods location in Edmonton Alberta for YEARS spending 3-600$ every time I go in there and the last couple times I have gone in and been followed quite brutally! Do you know and understand how humiliating it is for someone to be breathing down your neck or staring at you like you've done something wrong when I've done nothing but spend my hard earned money in your store!? The looks people give you it's just DEGRADING AND HUMILIATING! If this was the 1st or even 2nd time I'd let it go but it's going on now the 9th or 10th and I am SICK OF IT!
Desired outcome: I want them to make it right some how for the continued treatment especially when I've been in there most times with my 2 young sons and yet they still follow me around like a common criminal!

Customer service
I have tried to place an online order for a week. Customer care could not help me even though the issue was technical issues on your part. Went to store and manager said he could not help me. Called customer care and they promised to escalate and response within 24-48 hours. No response. I emailed customer care asking who I can speak to for complaint. I asked to please not ignore my email. No response. I called again and was told that someone would contact me asap. No response. I emailed again and asked to please not ignore me. No response. My last email today said this is my last attempt to get response. No response. PLEASE DONT IGNORE THIS MESSAGE. Cell [protected]

Worst experience I have ever had in my life, Since I was going for a big purchase and saw some offers on Cerave in the shoppers website, I went in for the first time, in the middle of my purchase suddenly got asked to get out of the store for no reason, out of the blue, I was harassed, accused of possible thievery without a single shred of proof, at the end I had to stop in the middle of purchase, I yelled at the [censored] manager and bought all the items I had in my basket and stormed out. Lucky for the store and the guy there is only one store that is in wallaceburg and close to where I actually work , If that guy is ever there I am never buying anything there, he has the customer relationship skills of a crab. I have no idea how he even got hired to handle customers in the first place. He was such an [censored]. I have never met such kind of irresponsible and rude employee ever before. I was going to buy 6 months worth of products today, but had to stop the purchase because he ruined my whole day, just FYI I still had 150 dollars worth of stuff inside my basket and paid for it and stormed out, I wish I had gotten his name, as for the guy who accused me and assumed, never come near me again when I go shopping, next time I am calling cops for harassment.

I bought a 200$ jokervisa prepaid card from shoppers drug mart, Stanley St, brantford, on. I get home hold on to it for a couple days I then activated it, within literal hours the card had been wiped clean of my entire 200$. The joker company has been contacted and apparently doing an investigation will take 7 -10 days. But other people I've talked to has had similar issues from shoppers. I don't know if this has anything to do with shoppers or what, but 200$ is a lot to spend and not get what I paid for. I'm totally blown away by this situation. For one you should immediately take joker prepaid cards off the shelves. Now I'm not really sure how this happened to me but I am lookn for my money back. I will be looking forward to hearing from
Claimed loss: I've lost 200$ plus an activation fee that shoppers charged me
Desired outcome: My money back

To whom it may concern,
I am absolutely enraged with the shoppers drug mart located at 10835 city parkway in Surrey BC. My partner has been receiving her prescription medication at said location for over a year now. They used to have great customer service, However lately they have become very inconsiderate and rude.
Today we get to the location 5 minutes to closing and are refused service! I even explained that it is prescribed medication which has already been filled and that she is going to be without her VERY important prescribed medication. Only to have a door closed in my face and to be told no!
This is just completely unacceptable and I will be charging shoppers if this results in seizures and a hospital visit tonight because of her being without medication!
Claimed loss: Unknown
Desired outcome: Better care and a store that values their customer

Incorrect prescription
This pharmacy always messing up with Prescriptions. Waiting time is always 1-2hrs and most of the time even more.. I had to come 3 times in a row because they didn’t dispensed correct medications. Pharmacist, Ashvrin Jan told that you have to check the medication what you take from us. Is this even applicable when there is Refill? Shouldn’t they do refilling correct as prescribed by the doctor? Why do we need a pharmacist in this matter if they don’t want to take the ownership of what they do? This is ridiculous. Don’t recommend this place to anyone.. should tell everyone double check the medicine before you take because they can give something which is not belongs to the patient too.

Country harvest bread 2 for 7 dollars. I got two loves expected to pay 7 dollars. Checked bill charged 4.29 each. Complained but no good. Asked for manager lady came and said 4.29 the price. I objected and wanted her name. She covered name tag with her hand. Manager and cashier laugh and say to bad. I took pic of display saying 2 for 7 dollars. The shoppers store I go to is only getting worse.

Read full review of Shoppers Drug MartPrice of benadryl 100
I purchased a box of Benadryl pills (100) on November 30th at your Dupont Street store (292) invoice # 990212811030003888306 for $33.99.
When I was at the Loblaws Christie and Dupont store later that day for a flu shot I found the exact same Benadryl for $23.00. in their pharmacy.
How can you charge $11.00 more than another drug store?
Unfortunately I had opened the package or I would have returned it.
I am a senior and cannot afford these absurd price increases,
Pharmacy
Why is my family having to wait an hour on the phone to speak to a pharmacist.? Come multiple times and they still cannot find medications and wait in an hour long line?
The Elliot lake Shoppers pharmacy is the worst I have ever seen. Everyone in the store is dealing with the same thing. They have multiple places where the prescriptions are stored and yet they are so unorganized that they still cannot find them. So disappointed. With my elderly parents living here and many other elderly here, there should be better care and attention. I worry for everyone in this town who deals with shoppers.
Claimed loss: Money and time spent going to the store and phone calls and being put on hold for minimum 30 mins.
Desired outcome: Hold them accountable. If they can't run properly...shut it down. They are the worst I have ever seen.

Today (Nov 23/23) I tried to redeem a gift card, which I received as a gift (without proof of purchase) a few years ago. Because it doesn’t have a verification code on it, your system will not accept the card as payment. The very patient clerk at the store tried 5 times to reach someone at your office by phone for assistance, but kept getting disconnected!
