After being with this pharmacy for over ten years I am sorry I have to find a new pharmacy. Since…read morethe beginning of this year my prescription has been delaying for over five days. Last month I was told they were too busy so they can't order my medication for me again. I had to go about three days without medication. And the pharmacy told me I can even go five to seven days without medication. And this month also because of the bank holiday they couldn't order my medication. When I phoned them to find out they disconnected me after almost 20 minutes of waiting. I phone again and the reply was pharmacist is too busy call back in two hours. What happened to this amazing pharmacy. I am done now. Thanks again for the previous services

Cameolord try to make it as easy as possible offering prescription delivery and collection, my experience was simple and quick and I was able to get my medication in minutes so I was rather pleased.

(It also opens at 6 during the week too, great to pop in on your commute!) The drinks and to-go food selection is okay but I do feel other places within the station including WHSmith, Marks and Spencer and the Co-op outside are better, however. It can get a little crowded at peak times, I do occasionally see warehouse boxes around the store too which makes this a little worse. If you're looking for a flu shot, this store as of writing has the best availability in the city centre with appointments most days compared to the Arndale/Market Street branch which would have had me waiting over two weeks, and Piccadilly Gardens which has over a weeks wait for an appointment after 4:30 pm (This is a seasonal thing remember!) Average store in most regards, but opening hours make it much more useful to pick up medicines when in the city. 3*

The reason I've managed to avoid getting the dreaded flu myself is wrapping up warm and carrying First Defense and Cuticura Hand Gel with me.

Luckily, this Boots stocks both so whenever I'm travelling and running low on either, I just pop in and grab some on my way to the platform. Handily, they also stock smoothies and breakfast bars too!

I wasn't impressed with the selection of medications which you can buy without a prescription and even though this is a location focussed on the pharmacy and medicine part of the Boots brand, I found it to lack compared to other stores including Market Street again which was a shame with many medication brands just not there. They did seem understaffed too with one staff member struggling to keep up with demand on the checkout, and the Pharmacy stand had also one staff member who seemed a little less pressured. Good location to call in for basic medications or a drink without having to walk 5-10 minutes or so to a larger Boots location. 2*

This is an average-sized Superdrug store, located inside the Manchester Arndale, while the store…read moremay not have all the features of the nearby Piccadilly Gardens branch (For example this store does NOT have a Pharmacy or a large beauty bar), it is still a good store with a nice selection of products. The selection of most products seems to be quite good, especially in the two areas I come to the store for (toiletries and ready to drink beverages), the aisles can feel a little narrow and uncomfortable especially at busy times or when the staff are restocking the shelves, but this is common with Superdrug as a whole. The staff seem friendly enough, they always seem to have a good amount of people working the checkouts, meaning the queues to get served moves pretty quickly and the staff are friendly enough. TIP: Use their multi-buy offers which are often quite good, they can also be combined with other discounts including NHS/student discounts and the Superdrug loyalty card. 4*

Like the other stores, the lighting, layout and aesthetic are all a bit of an eyesore but the low prices mean it's constantly bustling. As well as selling all the essential toiletries and beauty products you could need, there's a large section of the store devoted to perfume, skin care and make-up. Alongside big names like L'Oreal, Ulay and Elizabeth Arden, they also stock a small range of natural and organic products including hydrating lotions, body balms and exfoliators. At the rear of the store, there's a pharmacist and aisles packed with cold and flu remedies, vitamins, supplements and herbal tinctures like Rescue Remedy.

Although I prefer Boots by far, due to its incredibly generous advantage card scheme, Superdrug is ever so slightly cheaper and often has more offers on such as 'buy one get one free' which are always handy when you're a penniless student. The disadvantages of this store is the fact they don't offer bags and the huge misleading sign in the window which says 'students get ten percent off'... if you've purchased an N.U.S Extra card.

There's nothing really remarkable about this pharmacy, though it does have a selection of chocolates kept in a fridge. I don't know if anyone else suffers as I do from the affliction of only liking cold chocolate. If you do, you'll know that the major symptom is that you just can't buy chocolate from a newsagents or confectioner and munch it straight away. It just doesn't taste the same warm. For me, some chocolate can be tolerated warm, but some chocolate bars, which are lovely cold, are actually completely ruined when even lukewarm (above 6 degrees). Examples include Toblerone, Kit Kat and Bounty. If you do suffer from this condition, its on the list of medical problems this pharmacy can cure.
