A potpourri of merchandise and services [Nanaimo BC]…read more This store is like a version of our Target Stores in the US. We walked around inside to pass time until closer to our movie start time at the Galaxy Cinema. Both are located inside the Rutherford Mall. London Drugs has everything from computer and electronics to grocery and beauty products to appliances and cleaning supplies but the pharmacy is the heart of their business. It has an interesting history behind it like how it got its name. The store was named after London, England, the home of Canada's King, George VI. Founded in 1945 it started off as a small drugstore to what they are now. We purchased some snacks to take home later. The shelves are fully stocked. So much snacks to choose from from chips to chocolates and other treats. The cashier employee was nice and friendly. Review #3165

The selection is decent, but the prices leave a lot to be desired. Their sale prices are normal…read moreprices elsewhere, no joke. Customer service has been fine in my experience. It's just the prices aren't really appealing. Many simple items are more expensive than Walmart or Best Buy for example. It's hard to recommend because of that. Shop around before getting something here. I haven't tried their print services lately but in the past they weren't too great, nor were they cheap enough to be worth using again. There isn't much reason to shop here compared to the competitors.

Fast forward to March of 2025, and I've moved to another city, and long ago lost the paperwork and receipts. Needing some service to the camera done, I called the store and was put in touch with Chris M. I told him my situation and he found a copy of my receipt in the system, printed it, scanned it, and then emailed it to me within 5 minutes of hanging up the phone. Thanks Chris, you really helped me out and saved me a mountain of hassle. Everyone complains when they get even slightly inconvenienced, but rarely is anyone as vocal when someone goes way out of their way to provide great customer service. Chris provided exceptional customer service which is just normal of London Drugs - and it's for this reason I will ALWAYS make LD my first choice when making big purchases. Elbows up, shop Canadian!

The staff at LD is competent, friendly and professional, none of the above is true for central drugs staff who constantly took it upon themselves to repeatedly question my Dr's. Perscription changes meaning I was often without my medications, at times while he was away on holidays. I highly recommend anyone displeased with the ignorance and rude behavior of central drugs to go to London Drugs at Port Place plaza. Thank you to LD and keep up the great work.

4 days ago Covid-19 based review…read more I am so grateful that this pharmacy has the commitment of very professional staff. This has been my pharmacy of choice for several years because of the pharmacy manager Carmen. She is so committed to our care. She will not mince words in order to please you or support your friends' garbage health advice. She is no BS, to the point. Too bad for those people who want a butt-kisser, but I'm okay if they go elsewhere to find one. Thank-you for being there for us. Remember: These pharmacy people/staff are working at risk, for our benefit. They are not immune and may fall sick as easily as anyone. Sadly, I keep witnessing some very poor customer behaviour on my visits. I must go regularly, so I see some, too many, customers being unreasonable, demanding and selfish. Shame on you. Behave with honour and have some dignity. Other customers are watching you and know your poor behaviour is so wrong. Thankfully, most I see are well behaved people, who understand that the workload has probably nearly doubled in all front-line health services from just a week ago. Kudos to every heath-care professional working their hardest, on the front -lines for us. They deserve our respect. Good health to everyone! Thank-you. Your team is truly awesome.

Do not shop here, get your prescriptions anywhere but here. The amount of incompetence is…read morestaggering, time after time my perscriptions have been lost or not filled. Who ever runs the place needs new staff that are capable of doing their jobs so that people such as myself don't have to be off their meds for weeks or now in my case a month until my dr returns because of their dismal service and complete lack of understanding that not everyone can be off their meds until they grow a brain. And to top it all off they had the nerve to laugh at me as I was leaving.
