Crap contacts
June 27, 2015

They are either making knock offs or storing them improperly. I never had problems with my contacts before. I always ordered from 1800 contacts and gave visiondirect a try bc it wss cheaper. Well there is a reason they are cheaper. Since ive gotten these contacts i have frequent eye irritation and infections. They seem to get dey very quick. Also as another reviewer said, the lense case was wrinkled which usually means it was stored in heat. I will be filing a complaint with the FDA. This company is a scam and has jeaporidized my eye health. Be aware

This is almost always the lowest price, but when they box up your order, there isn't padding, so everything gets beat up. It's ok if you are just ordering cotton balls.

Drugstore.com is definitely NOT secure and consumers should not "save" credit card information on this website - my account was compromised, the company discovered the problem and did nothing to fix my account after someone used my account to make purchases and change the information in my account (but for the billing information). When I could not access my account because it had been compromised, the company sent me an e-mail asking if I had forgotten my password - when I was finally able to reset the password that the thief set on my account, I found a list of that persons' charges. Once the fraud was discovered, the company simply cancelled my auto deliveries and chose to ignore the problem (and never informed me despite my attempts to find out why I could not access my account and why I wasn't receiving auto deliveries. Best to stay away from this business or at the very least, not to keep credit card information in an account on this site.

I'm not sure if they're part of Walgreens, but they always seem to have the same deals, especially vitamins. They're also the only place I can still find my favorite shampoo. Fast shipping, and most of the time it's free!

When a favorite shampoo or lipstick is discontinued, many times, this is where I find it. Always brand new products in original packaging and just as I ordered.

Good solid site
May 26, 2015

They have a wide variety. I go there when I need a bunch of different things and I'm trying to avoid shipping charges on 3 different sites. You can also get stuff from Beauty.com which makes for even more variety. They are 2 sites, but you have 1 cart and it works fairly seamlessly. Once in a while I've needed to email them to make sure I don't get over charged on shipping, but they've always worked things out satisfactorily. They also have free shipping on orders over $35.00. I apreciate that they also have a lot of reviews and I really read them before I buy. I recommend them.

Walgreens is definitely the only place I will get my prescribed medicines!
I have shopped at several Pharmacies in the past 45 years. One Pharmacy neglected to pay attention to the Contraindication Alerts, gave me two medications that are NEVER allowed to be prescribed together, and I nearly died. Other Pharmacies have not made that drastic an error, but I have found that many Pharmacies will charge more than they should. This has digruntled me, and made me feel that Pharmacists just cannot be trusted.
Then, I began to get my prescription drugs from Walgreens. I have been with them many years, and not once have they made a mistake. Correction: they made a mistake one time, but not a serious one. They have correctly filled several hundred prescriptions for me. I had been very ill, and now, though I am still disabled, I am much healthier.
The staff at Walgreens' stores are unfailingly polite, helpful, considerate, and truly give the best service.
The Pharmacists will ALWAYS answer any questions I have about medications. Sometimes, they even offer information before I can ask for the Pharmacists.
I am not thrilled with the prices on the vitamins, supplements, or ace wraps. They also do not carry all of the products I usually buy.
However, for a Drugstore, Walgreens hands-down scores the highest ratings from me EVERY TIME!

Real contacts?
May 24, 2015

I'm not sure if it's possible but I feel like their contacts might be fake. They are getting dry quicker than before only a few hours on. That's never happened before. I hope they don't make their own contacts and brand it as the big companies. Oh well.

Nice place to shop for vitamins. Fast delivery times. I am glad they were around when I needed them.

I usually order fish oil from my local pharmacy, but drugstore.com has a better shipping price.

I usually shop at Walgreens anyway. On line shopping is easy and you get free shipping at 25.00 which is very reasonable and easy to do. I have my prescriptions there and they always have free shipping for that. When you're ill it is nice not to have to go to the store. Website very easy to navigate.
