Duane Reade Inc. is a chain of pharmacy and convenience stores owned by Walgreens which is becoming…read moreless presence in recent years than in the 2000s in the metropolitan NYC region. I remember in the late 1990s through early 2000s era, Duane Reade was located within three blocks intervals iteration for a heavy prominent presence. I needed a specific box brand of facial tissues with lotion which this pharmacy actually have and was on sale with a promotion "buy 1 get 1 equal/less for 50% off." Retail items appears somewhat in stock, but I really wanted the large rectangular box rather than the small square box of facial tissues. Customer service is non-existent. The staff appears disgruntled working robotically of their Sisyphean task.

You need a state ID to do this refund which I never heard of that CVS don't do that only if you if you're buying a medical product, but whatever him the state ID he still proceeded to give me a refund like a dumbass and I told him I wanted an exchange not a refund so our manager does not listen. Neither does the coworkers actually none of them listen, they all just do whatever they want

Slow wait times to pickup a prescription. Unfriendly cashiers who don't even say thank you for…read moreyour business. Long waits on line to pickup medicine, understaffed cashiers. The ownership is comprised off rude, arrogant individuals who can care less about customer service and more about putting pills in bottles to sell. They also took it upon themselves to contract out deliveries to a third party service. Wow, this service literally sends low IQ individuals to my building. Can't figure out how to get access to the building. They then proceed to call me up and speak in a different language which I don't understand since I believe we live in America. They finally get into the building and don't follow the signage to go to the left rather than go to the right. What's more, once they figure out they went the wrong way even though I tell them in English to go left, they make it up to my floor eventually and then can't find my apartment. On many of occasion, the pharmacy itself makes mistakes, and the delivery person, who could care less has no authority to rectify the issue. Nor will they call the pharmacy to rectify and absolve themselves of responsibility. There are plenty of other small pharmacies in woodhaven that I have to choose from. I was using Healthmax because they supposedly have a good reputation. However, I do not believe that to be true. If they don't make an effort to improve their service, they will easily loose out to their competitors. I really do hope store management reads this review and implements changes to improve the experience for its customers.

I highly despise the Ozone Park's location business name "On Point" and their logo is stupid. The staff is very welcoming and assisting in this Howard Beach location. This location sits on Cross Bay Boulevard, a major boulevard in Queens and very accessible via MTA NYC Transit buses Q52 SBS, Q53 SBS, Q22, Q35 and how I miss the now discontinued Q21 bus. I bought my fifth sunglasses as all others broke. Every summer my sunglasses break as I throw them in my bag when indoors, but I need eye protection from summer's blazing sun. The staff kindly with careful attention removed the tag on the sunglasses as I immediately wore it upon exiting. This Howard Beach location is significantly larger than the Ozone Park.
