Extremely long wait times (50 minutes yesterday), refusal to supply repeat medications after 21 days in spite of previously telling me that they will, insufficient seating, one particularly rude pharmacist, refusal to waitlist patients of decades years for critical medications that have had supply issues for years…leaving us high and dry as other pharmacies prioritise their own customers making it now impossible for us to access the meds we need…...the list goes on. Extremely disappointing. Other Chemist Warehouses provide much better service.
I can't believe how cheap this place is compared to a normal chemist. Definitely worth trying if you haven't been here before. Huge range and as I said they are cheap
Very good value. Often cheaper for same items than the supermarket/Myer/etc. Well worth a visit. Janine is a sweetie - very well informed about alternative treatments - well worth speaking to for advice!
Always have the cheapest stuff, and staff are friendly. Carpark is occasionally full and sometimes the checkout lines are long.
great service but can be really busy during peak hour rushes and thus long waiting times. prices are good and fair and they have a price guarantee. parking can sometimes be a hassle as there is limited parking space
I find this chemist to be of very good value, with most of the lines much cheaper than anywhere else.
Also the pharmacy staff are very efficient at making sure one understands what medicenes are not to be taken together.
The staff at the front counter are always most pleasant, eveb if it is a busy time for them.
i guess its because of the size of the shop that the service is well and truly lacking. Although it seems to be well staffed, the staff seem to be frazzled and rude. OK the prices are probably good. I wouldnt know as I would never go back there. Which I find to be the problem with any large market style shop, be it grocery store or chemist or anything. The bigger the shop, the less personalised and friendly. Its OK if you just want lower prices. It does claim to be the lowest ... but at what cost? And don't go there when you are in a hurry. The queues at the checkout were pretty long when I went there.
My mother recently had her prescription filled out by Chemist Warehouse. A pharmacist by the name of Yvonne Yapp filled it out but forgot to give her one of the 2 drops she was supposed to take. The doctor assumed she was taking the right eyedrops and said that she should continue for a month. None of us could imagine that the Pharmacist DID NOT fill the correct prescriptions. Lucky in this instance it did not kill anyone!
People are probably best to go to small pharmarcies where the pharmacist has had a bit more experience and knowledge on drugs rather than supermarket stores like Chemist Warehouse with inexperienced staff.
Approximate cost: $5
I've been very impressed with the prices for prescriptions at Chemist Warehouse. They're always between $4 and $10 cheaper per prescription compared to other chemists. After you've handed in your script, you're given a buzzer to carry with you which will beep when your prescription is ready. This is handy if you want to browse around the store and don't want to have to keep going back to the pharmacist to see if your prescription is ready. And the store is HUGE so there's lots of other products to look at to keep you buys! They stock a huge range of vitamins which are competitively priced too, plus a huge range of skin care, sunscreen, nappies and all other lines you'd expect in a chemist. They stock a lot of perfume and make up items too.
