Verified Reviewer New ReviewerA feeling of being ripped off!
In 2019 my doctor placed me on a certain drug that was partially covered by the manufacturer that was unknown to me at the time BUT should have been to Costco pharmacy. I did not find out till a year later and found out that I had been over charged to the tune of $550. When I discussed the with the pharmacist, it was simply "sorry"! Well I am about to write one of their senior executive's and turn in my membership card even though there is still 8 months remaining.

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerUnprofessional staff and refill delays
Worst customer service, refill delays up to hours even after the given time. Very rude staff at drop off window.
User's recommendation: Not recommended, check other locations.

I transferred my prescriptions to my local Costco store when my wife and I had eye surgery because I assumed the prices would be lower at Costco. I was way wrong. If you compare pricing at other stores, ( grocery, CVS, Walgreens, etc.) you will see that Costco is...

It’s just AWFUL using Costco Norwalk, CT pharmacy.
Wrong medication. And I called ahead of time to make sure it was ready. And the staff are rude and disrespectful. And dont seem to get it I am there to get a good price on my medication not just buy my medication at any price. This is not the first time nor was I the only one having a problem on Sat May 29, 2021. So I had to leave with nothing.
User's recommendation: Go elsewhere.

Wrong RX second time
Second occurrence where when I got home and opened my rx, found they gave 10 additional of drug I don't use. Took it to chief pharmacist and got the no big deal response. Was going to complain to State board but their fillable form to load. Perhaps a window of things to come?
User's recommendation: Check your prescription b 4 u leave.

Poor service
Only after making us fill out forms did the tech bother to tell us there would be more than an hour wait before they could actually give flu shots, due to there being 4 whole people in line before me. Wasting customers time is not acceptable.
User's recommendation: Avoid.

Costco Pharmacy Customer Care
Spectacular and efficient in getting a refill.
So, my initial prescription had no refills remaining. I reached out to the physician, but felt it would not be done in a timely fashion. I reached out to Costco Pharmacy in Lehi, IT and it was ready for pickup the next day. Spectacular service and will be my pharmacy of choice from now on. Above and beyond, indeed.

Picked up prescriptions and again pharm co brand on my file not to use/refill was filled with wrong R/X
I (family) use Costco Pharmacy for all R/X medicine daily drugs. I use presently and previous 25+ years where customer satisfaction friendliness, savings,quality mdse. etc. is perfect. The filled prescription I am referring to is recorded on file requests not to fill with one phar. company brand name was filled wrong again. Also pharmacist that asked to refill correct didn't have it filled or medicine in stock as she told it would be for p/u. Everything is excellent with all except for pharmacist Buddy MusadGilbert,#00481 at 1415 N Arizona Avenue Gilbert, Az.
User's recommendation: Always shop Costco for all R/X and drug needs.

Praise for pharmacist at Florence ky store
I am 69 and I have chronic pain due to spinal stenosis ,arthritis,and other issues. I take norco as prescribed by my Dr . I switched to Costco in December 2018 because Wal-Mart was charging outrageous prices and didn't have the medication in stock half the time. Mr Ricky Reyes is the pharmacist at Florence warehouse . He. Makes time to answer questions if need be. He really cares about his customers. Once he took 10$ off my cost simply because I had to wait a little longer than usual which I barely noticed. I've never really had a problem with any pharmacist in general, but most seem distant and mechanical. Mr Reyes is always smiling ,goes above and beyond ,and is very warm and considerate. As a matter of fact his employees are all courteous and helpful
User's recommendation: I highly recommend Florence Costco pharmacy and Mr Reyes.

Never
Barb, the Manager pharmacist of Costco Courtenay presumed to tell me I hadn't been on my medication, calling me a liar, deciding she knew the dosage I was on then proceeded to tell me Costco pharmacy could not put on file, 2 medications that could kill me, because there were hundreds of meds that could do so- not true, only 2 contraindicated for my condition, when I tried to explain again, there were only two she again ignored me and continued her liable behaviour when the pharmacy is supposed to be the last stop in med checks and safety for drugs that can kill patients. Literally refusing to document what is deadly to me, this was my second negative experience at this pharmacy with Barb the manager. When I called back to address the issue, she proceeded to lie, not let me finish and hang up, then lied to staff about her behaviour and words, forcing a customer to advocate for life saving notes on file and accuse them of lying and again, refusing to simply type in a contraindication for a cancer that only has two contraindications, one should not be a manager- terrible service and life endangering with zero accountability! NO STARS for the manager. I spoke with Costco staff and they said they had complaints about the pharmacy staff customer service and behaviour (I think they are great except for her but she is a terrible example to them) but they were separately run from Costco. Talk about potentially deadly apathy, never mind the horrendous customer care!

Don't but until they change the practice
New policy--all prescriptions come wrapped in single-use non-recyclable plastic enclosures. Don't use them until they stop this new procedure.
