Good finding my prescription. Did a beautiful job. No More seems to be checking out that I ever have a problem. I don’t understand why it is the specific clerk. Always gets my right and nasty when you point out an error. I’m glad I was being vigilant. As an animal owner with the same phone number on file. She was not going to give me the medicines for the animal which she asked for my name and phone number they should both pop up. No reason to be irritable or rude.

The Costco Pharmacy in Thornton, CO is the best!! My wife and I had been using CVS inside Target and were very disappointed. We noticed how busy the Costco Pharmacy was each time we shopped there, so we stopped by one day and asked about getting our prescriptions transferred. That’s all it took. They contacted CVS and got everything transferred over.
They are all very friendly and helpful. On our most recent visit, Susie was processing our order and we asked about scheduling a flu vaccine. She said she’d be happy to set up appointments for us, but said that if we had time, we could do it right then. Then Aaron took over and in less than 10 minutes, we had picked up our prescriptions and gotten our flu shots.
They are hyper-focused on customer service. Sometimes the line gets long because it’s such a good pharmacy, but at those times team members appear and get all the registers going. The lines evaporate in no time. We have been impressed by everyone who’s helped us at this Pharmacy, but I haven’t gotten all of their names to include in this review. And we love the text notifications and auto-refills.

I went to the Costco on Huntington Rd, to get a prescription for my 6 month old son. The employee asked me if my son was insured and I said not sure. She checked and he wasn’t. The government does however cover certain prescriptions for children, and his puffer was one such item, but it was suppose to come with the chamber, the associate refused to give me the chamber and said if my son was insured I have to pay for the chamber, even though it was written on my prescription. She also told me to go and purchase it from another pharmacy, because I had left my wallet at home. I felt so disrespected because the item was suppose to come with the puffer and she refused to give me. She also told me she did me a favour by sending my son’s prescription to the government. Not happy and definitely won’t be going back here again.
BUSINESSES need to train employees customer service, something we are truly lacking in society today. Totally disgusted with the way I was treated today, and definitely feel like the pharmacist felt as if she was doing me a favour by giving me the medication for my son that I had a prescription for. I’m definitely not going to recommend my friends or family to the pharmacy because the lack of training some individuals have is really annoying. I know this review might not make a difference, but the associate should know that she needs to do better. I hope it does find a way to get to her, because she needs to become a better person especially if you at a job that’s to assist and help people on a daily basis.

I switched from Shoppers Drug Mart to Costco Pharmacy but it seems every time I go there, there are ERRORS made, whether it's billing, quantities or one-time WRONG MEDICATION. I should know that when they give you a slip with a time on it, it puts pressure on the pharmacists to work fast so naturally errors go up. But the frequency with which I get errors has me concerned whether it's worth it to risk my health over saving a few dollars. IMO, the lack of care and double-checking customer orders isn't worth saving a few dollars.

Costco pharmacy store provides decent service to customers. But Costco Manitoba mail order pharmacy is terrible. First of all, it looks like the pharmacy staffs are not familiar with the software itself, so ultimately the whole concept of mail service defeats its purpose. Finally, no accountability and poor customer service.

Costco Wholesale Warehouse is just great! Love them. The Cost-Co Pharmacy is not to be confused with them. The Pharmacy at Cost-co is everything that the warehouse is not. I would call them incompetent but it's actually that they simply just don't care, don't have to. Kind of harsh, right? Consider they regularly are unable to fill a common prescription you may have. If it is an ongoing prescription such as for blood pressure or cholesterol you would think that since they know you're on file and will need it monthly that they would figure into their order so they would have it on hand, you would think wrong. If you try calling them a week prior to needing it to ask they order it they will not consider it, too early to do so you will be told. So you will call the day of only to find they are unable to fill several of your prescriptions but they will happily order some and it should be in by Wednesday.
If you are unlucky enough to have any controlled medicines (i,e, Cancer Patient, Pain etc) you may as well forget it. Don't even mess with Cost-co, you will likely be deceased before they will fill it. As I was once told directly by a Cost-Co rep, and I quote " not mine, don't care ". You have been warned, wish I had seen some of these reviews prior to getting tangled up with them.

I recently called Costco Pharmacy, Duluth venture drive and was very disappointed with the service from Cortney. She repeatedly put me on hold and never got back to me. I was on hold for 1 hour but no one still got back to me, I was disappointed that she was the only one attending the phone. Additionally, she was not polite and came across as very rude. This level of customer service is unacceptable, and I hope it is addressed to improve future interactions.

Every time my doctor has changed dosage for my medication, the staff repeatedly fails to to read the new prescription order. It then will repeatedly get rejected by the insurance due to refill restrictions. I then, have had to spend numerous hours on the phone explaining that it's a dosage change, and painstakingly try to get doctor to resubmit it and Costco to understand it. When all they have to do is actually read the order. This place is the worst.

Love Costco! The pharmacy is another matter, it all depends on the person assisting you. Often just go do my shopping and come back to find someone else. But still they don’t have the rules right, nor they want to be helpful. Flagler St. Miami you are there to help your customers.

Love my Costco store in Sandy. Store staff are very pleasant and helpful. Now the pharmacy. The most rude, nasty, condescending staff of people I have ever encountered. The pharmacists are complete **. Rudest people, uncaring and totally disregard the instructions by physicians. I think they are break-in the law by ignoring the doctor's instructions. I hope they get sued. They should get out of the pharmacy business.

Went into Costco August 21st 2023, used self check out. I had two separate orders to process. I asked her to scan the toilet paper onto my first bill, she replied with, "What about all your other stuff." I said I was doing two separate orders. She rolled her eyes and kissed her teeth at me. Then after completing my first order, she stood right beside me watching me scan my second order. Once I completed the order an elderly gentleman beside me was having issues with the self check out ask her for help. She rudely replied, "Look at the screen and follow the instructions. You tap the green button", and then said something in her language. So I went over to help him. Then I went to speak to Paul the “manager.” He didn’t seem like he gave a crap and was barely even making eye contact with me. Very poor customer service.

My 2nd time using Costco pharmacy and as the first time it put a sour taste in my mouth. The staff can not read prescription correctly on date release - will not use Costco pharmacy again- no 3rd times - it's called 3 strikes and you're out.

I have a prescription to be filled at Costco. My local store has been out of stock for three months. Costco can’t tell me what other Costco has the medication in stock and can’t get any transferred to my store. So I have to call around to other Costco locations and find the one that has my medicine. Then I have to drive and pick it up. Get this, one Costco charges $40 and another $20. And they can’t tell me why.

I tried to use a GoodRX coupon at Costco pharmacy in Pooler, GA. The same coupon I had previously used and is advertised by Costco. The young woman helping me said she could not honor the coupon. She was annoyed but I asked to speak to someone else since I had specifically had my Dr. send my script to this pharmacy to use the coupon. After much debate the pharmacist said he would allow me to the use coupon one more time, but not again. Ok, fine. I did tell him it was frustrating that Costco would advertise this price then not honor it. Anyways, I know me and my coupon were a pain, but I thanked him for honoring it this last time.
While I continued to shop at Costco I walked by the pharmacy again and made eye contact w the young lady who originally helped me. She saw me and called me a ** as she walked by. I was flabbergasted! All over a coupon, geez!! I did go and let the pharmacist know I didn’t appreciate being insulted by their employee. The pharmacist informed me he didn’t hear her say that. Ok….But then he quickly added he would address it. I’m not sure if he actually was going to, but definitely won’t be using that pharmacy again.

Don't use Costco's online pharmacy based in California. First, the system doesn't let you have the prescriptions for more than one person per email address. If you have young children you have to set up an account for each person. Second, their website seems to arbitrarily turn off auto refills. And finally, it takes up to two or more weeks to get refills on an existing prescription. Even if you ask for 2-day delivery, it doesn't arrive on time. Ten days and counting currently.

Costco shorted me several times on my medication. Resulting in request to verify count in my presence. They state it’s impossible for this to happen, as medication is counted 4X already! Why am I receiving pills broken half, other times short 18 pills, discolored brown freckles and black chunks in most recent script. Caused me to throw several away each time this occurred. Does not leave me with trusting the manufacturer they buy from or the pharmacist. Just this last prescription, I had serious reaction to this same medication on last prescription.
Few months ago I had picked up my lorazepam. Few days later get call from Costco telling me, don’t take your medication. You need to return it right away! Ask why? What’s wrong? They said “Your medication has error, we have mixed your 1mg with 2mg!!” This could have cost me my life, car accident or someone else’s life. I have phoned them with my concerns. Went in several times now with these different issues. I was spoke to Very disrespectfully. I always trusted my pharmacist prior to switching to Costco.

This is a repeat medication I get. I'm tired of getting half pills considering these are controlled substances. Also been short a couple pills no matter how they say counted. You can't call half pills full meds. I do not split or over take since can't get until after I run out. This is 4x now and really mad.

Costco Pharmacy is worst for customer service. It's taken 6 phone calls to get a refill and still not done. First they denied they received the script from doctor. Then doctor didn't have all info on the request. Instead of giving me all the information so I could relay to doctor I got a bit of info in one call then another bit of information. 6 calls and still not resolved. Pharmacists are important people but they shouldn't be rude and should provide complete information rather than require CUSTOMER to make additional calls to resolve problem. I guess Costco doesn't require good customer service from them.

While Costco Pharmacy offers very low prices for medication it definitely isn't worth the hoops you have to jump through to get a refill. Costco completely messed up one of my prescriptions 3 times and the pharmacist I interacted with in person was one of the most condescending and rude individuals I've ever met. It shouldn't be this hard to get refills of important medications.
All of my prescriptions have been written for a 3 month supply, when I switched from using the in person pharmacy to Costco's online pharmacy they only sent me a one month supply of my medications. This was really inconvenient for me but I figured it would be fine if I just set up auto-refill/auto-delivery. I signed up for auto-refill just fine and double checked that it was turned on in my account. Later in the month I realized that I was running low on my medication but my refill still hadn't been delivered yet so I logged into my account only to find that auto-shipping had somehow been deactivated and my prescription hadn't been refilled. I immediately requested a refill but knew it wouldn't get here in time before I ran out.
The next day I called my local Costco and asked if I could get a 5 day supply of my medication to hold me over until my actual refill arrived, the pharmacist was very kind and said that they would be able to do that and I could come in and pick it up the next day. The next day I rushed over to the pharmacy after work and was met by one of the rudest people I've ever encountered. When I explained that I was there to pick up a prescription she said that there was no prescription ready for me. I reiterated that I had talked to a pharmacist on the phone the day before and she said that my prescription would be ready the next day. The pharmacist was very condescending and said that the doctor has to sent them a script before they can just fill it, which I understand, but in the past whenever a pharmacy has had an issue with one of my scripts they have called my Dr's office and taken care of the issue for me.
When the person I spoke with on the phone said that I could come pick up my script the next day I figured that they would've called my Dr to have a script for a 5 day supply sent over. If they would've told me over the phone that I needed to call my Dr first, I would've been happy to do so even though I'm pretty sure that's their job. I ended up leaving without my important medications and now my health is at risk because of their mistakes. Risking your health is not worth the lower prescription costs, I highly recommend going elsewhere for your prescriptions.

My doctor executes a prescription to them and received confirmation. It went through successfully. After 10 days it was never posted under my account. I called their customer service and was told they had no record of it. I had me doctor then fax it to the number their customer service gave me. He then faxed it and got a confirmation the fax was successfully sent and received. They still say they have no record of it. Thank goodness it was not life threatening or critical for me to have immediately. I am done with them. If you really need your medicine — go somewhere else.
