This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I purchased some razor blades at your 1531 Bayview Ave store in Toronto and wanted to return them as they were $ 3 more than Pharma Plus (most of their items are overpriced but it was convenient). I tried to return them but because another person had used their optimum card for the purchase and they werent with me, I was told I couldn't return it without this card. This was a $ 13 item and I find it ridiculous that their system cant reconcile optimum card points electronically without the physical card there. This occurred Sat June 30 at 9:30 am and the manager was involved. I will not be shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart again.

Shoppers drug mart upper James st has the worst customer service ever. They don't seem to be able to deliver prescriptions when promised then you have to call them and they say they can't deliver them until the next day after they fail to deliver when they promise. Getting ready to look for another pharmacy

This woman, Ruby in our local shoppers drug mart is very rude and disrespectful. We come every week and this is the first time that this has happened to us. So rude!

BBB "F" not surprising!

Co. has no e-mail method to register complaints!

"800" service is not useful in resolution of issues

Web meds renewal attempt leads to continuous loop around captcha successful box.
Forced renewal of password, still shows up in account as old one

Phone call ("new phone service") to store leads to waits of 10, 15+ mins

I would need to access my shopper optimum number to transfer my points to the new pc optimum program. I have been holding two hours everyday for the customer service to provide that information. And I can't get a hold of anyone for since Jan 31st.

Good Day, for the last 2 sales, the stores in Orillia at Front St. and Westmount have had very few cases [ 6 X 791 ml ] of Coke Zero. They have had plenty of Coke and Diet Coke. The Coke Zero has been sold out by 10 am. Last week was a 2 day sale, so they had no Zero for the rest of the sale

I purchased pintys chicken wings because they were on sale for 12.99.
When I got home and checked the bill it was for 17.99. I took them back half way across the city and the sales girl was very rude like it was my mistake. I will never step foot into another shoppers drug agai.

I bought a 5ml bottle of Protectis today, August 26, 2018 for my 4 month old baby. I read the instructions, then double checked the box to reread. Thankfully I did, to my surprise, it expired DECEMBER/2017! I do not understand how something in the pharmacy section could go that long, overlooked, on the shelf. Photo is attached for your viewing.

I bought a bag of Nelson's 1% milk last Thursday in Milton shopper store, Ontario. The cashier charge me $4.27 and refuse to give me a senior discount, she told me that was a sale product.

Sept 17, 2018 this guy who calls himself the manager has issues in his head, there are times when people need to be dropped off at the door, like people using cabs, handicapped, city busses, other means by other people, wheel chairs, crtuches, walkers ect can't walk from parking lots to doors, no need to yell, take pics with his phone .harassing .

I bought cold medication from Meadow vale shoppers Drug mart on Saturday 25, 2017 Mississauga. I took some medication and later noted the package was expired since Feb 2017.

I feel this is very serious and part negligence from the seller. What can be done to resolve it . My stmptoms did not improve.

Bought this product in Sutton Ont, and once i opened it, it didnt have the insert to spray it into your nose just a big hole where it should be. So I was unable to use this product, very disappointed since I have bought this before and never had a issue.

I was shopping on Seniors day today to discover that Shoppers has changed the seniors age from 55 to 65 without notifying it's optimum card holders. I am so disappointed as I am 58 and I always shopped on seniors days. Rexall will be choice for my shopping as their age limit is 55 for senior discounts. Very disappointed customer!

I went to purchase bread at a store on Sandalwood and Chinguacousy in Brampton, Ontario. When the cashier was scanning my bread there was a mouse bite with a hole in the plastic and eaten through the bread. I am disgusted I will not be shopping there again.

Shoppers, Cold Lake, AB.
Real BAD BAD service lately. Ordered our medication one day in advance the last four times. We arrived the following day to collect our meds and was told to come the next day! This happened four times in a row! Had my prescription transferred to another pharmacy.

I was a store manager for shoppers drug mart and I go the pine center mall location shoppers in Prince George, B.C. which is store # 268. I never see a manager after 4pm in the afternoon ever, the store manager always leaves eary from the staff who work there. I am also going to phone the head office to make a complaint as well.

This is a complaint about the store on 9980 137 ave nw, edmonton, ab t5e 6w1 store 387. The sidewalk around the store has not been de-iced and I witnessed a woman slip and fall as a result. I went to see if she was okay and had to help her to her car as she hurt her knee. I almost slipped as I helped her. I am extremely upset at this negligence!

Shoppers in Leamington, ON has a problem with the young employees.
Not very bright. Unfortunately not Shoppers fault, typical example of how the youth of today are useless.

This company has been using the same "voice-over artist" for the store product announcements for at least 20 years. A company of your size should be able to afford voice-over artists that have a more "contemporary style" and anyone new would be better than the same voice that I've been hearing for over 20 Years!

I've been buying the life brand dental flossers for a few years now. They claim that they don't shred. I just got a second package where they do. The first time I thought maybe it was my teeth and I just kept using more than one at a time. So cust serv tells me to return with receipt. Who keeps their receipt for floss.
Poor CS. No more life brand!
