This review turned out to be super long but feel free to skip to the last paragraph for the short…read moreversion. It's based on my visit in september. I got lost finding my way here because on Google Maps, it shows a marker of the store but in reality it's a TD bank. The building has very few signage telling customers where Pharmasave is. I assumed it was on street level until I went around the rear of the building and saw people walking up stairs. There was a tiny sign at the back lot that said "retail shops". I find out that I circled back where I came from to the front of the street. I hope whoever is in charge of the building signage can put better signs. I only realized the store was downstairs in the basement level when I saw customers going down the escalator to somewhere. There was no obvious shop sign with the pharmasave logo on it anywhere near the front entrance or inside the building. They really put better signage. What's interesting about this shop is that they have a huge and wide front entrance but they closed the store gates all the way until the cashier area. I guess it was a makeshift way of reducing theft in the other areas of the store. It sort of looked like the store was going to close soon because of this. I liked that this store has so many items. They were way more types of items than i thought they would have. From the top of my head, they got processed foods like chips, snacks, energy bars, candy, and chocolates. Then they got health related stuff, bathroom item area, cosmetics area, men's and women's accessories area, a well-stocked pharmacy with lots of supplements, many over the counter medicine, plus much more. I like that pharmasave recently started collecting air miles loyalty points. The staff were trained very well on how to process the points. Pharmasave only started collecting Air miles a week before my visit in September while other Pharmasave locations were still figuring out how to add it to their system. Kudos to the store manager for getting the air miles system implemented quickly at this location. The service here was good when I checked out my items. The staff lady was quick in getting me through checkout and was pretty friendly. She helped me point out some questions I had about my receipt and thanked me for coming. It would have been nice if there were more staff in other parts of the store to help me in case case I had any questions about items i see on the shelf, but it looks like there's only 3 staff total. 1 pharmacist, a store manager, and a cashier/clerk. What i didn't like were the prices. I found a couple things that were ranging from a little overpriced to extremely overpriced. A quick google search on my phone showed that some items were almost double the price of competitors. A bottle of shampoo I like to buy was $9 at Pharmasave but was only $5 on Amazon. On the other hand, there were interesting niche finds. I saw an ancient TV antenna cable that you can only find in few electronic shops hidden in the clearance section. Also, a pack of Blank burnable DVD's were only 80 cents. After about half an hour of looking for something decent to buy at a reasonable price, I got a cliff bar and some hand wipes that were cheaper than competitors. The cliff bar was $1 each but were almost expired, but the hand wipes on sale were cheaper than anywhere else. 5 packs of hand wipes and a cliff bar were only $12 after tax. Not bad! They were not advertised in any flyer so I'm pretty glad i found a hidden find. Finding hidden gems in mostly overpriced stores are kinda exciting in a way. I felt like a treasure hunter of deals of sorts. I give this Pharmasave 4 out of 5 stars based on this visit. They should install better signage outside the building so customers won't get lost finding it for the first time, like I did. I appreciate that the staff are friendly and efficient at scanning their newly added Air Miles loyalty points, which is better than some other branches. The store is one of the biggest Pharmasaves in Metro Vancouver, so you're likely to find the item you're looking for. Some prices are outrageously high, but it's worth it if you're willing to browse through the hundreds of items for unadvertised discounts on the shelves and items with little red handwritten clearance priced stickers. If you're a "hidden gem" hunter, this store is for you!

I am deeply disappointed with the lack of communication and support, especially considering my…read morehistory with the company. I have been a customer of this pharmacy for two years, always paying $40 CAD for shipping. However, due to a Canadian postal strike, the pharmacy switched to a cheaper shipping method without informing me, but still charged me the full $40 CAD. When the package arrived in Brazil, the shipping company hired by the pharmacy, in addition to the customs fees, which I am required to pay, charged me an extra $42.75 CAD, which I did not agree to pay, as it was never previously agreed with me. I refused the package, and it was returned to Canada. Now, the manager Kade and her assistant Kelaiah seem to beare, in an indirect way, making it difficult for the returned package to be received, possibly in retaliation for my not paying the additional fee demanded by the carrier they hired, thus preventing the refund. I don't have the merchandise or my money back. and not even a solution, just silence. In my country that's called a lack of scruples. Order Number: 56361

Local Yaletowners are irritated with this store. Ok...let's…read moretake a look at this bad boy. With Vancouver's population having nearly gone up by 300% in the last 5 years, there are security guards in most stores now. The guards at this store I think would be better off joining the army...why? well..because they treat people like they're strapped with bombs. The look, the energy, the following you around...you know what I mean.... My note: Chill Mr. Wanna Be Cop...it's just Aspirin....and no...he's not stealing it...moving on.... The shelves are always empty and the floors are always dirty. Customer service?.....Oh no no...this is not that kinda place....you're lucky they let you enter. This is actually slightly funny...now that I'm writing this...it's almost like a Halloween scary house....entering this Shoppers. From the slippery dirty stairs and floors to the old cracked and empty shelves to the scary service and creepy guards..... So, the locals have a right to be annoyed. But, if you lower your standards really really really low...like almost non-existent...it might be the case you walk out not affected. Now now Homer St. Shoppers....behave darling....just once?
