Excellent customer service, great location my one Stop shop for all shipping needs, historic business been in the same spot in the neighbourhood since the 1920s read more

I've visited this pharmacy a couple of times now; mostly to drop off Amazon returns. I like that they give you a receipt for your drop offs; very important when you are returning your packages. This place is located across the street from Target and right before the 18th Ave (N line) train station. It's convenient and can be easily found. It's a big place. I also like that they displayed posters/ flyers of all of their services on their windows/ entrance, i.e. Amazon Hub counter, DMV Eye exam, and accept package drop offs (for FedEx, UPS, DHL, Amazon, and USPS). They are also serve as an Amazon locker, where you can pick up your orders from them. So they are more than just a pharmacy. The staff were friendly and helpful. While I was in their store, I also noticed they sell greeting cards and chocolate. They have a lot to offer. read more

See all

I called to see if they carry medication. Very rude and ghetto staff. ' i say we dont have it, why you calling here'. Please fire her, the lady with the hispanic accent read more

Ordered 5 packages of crest (4/5 per pack) Received 5 single bottles only. That is $10 for each 4oz bottle Total ripoff .... I nor anyone else would pay $10 per 4oz bottle of toothpaste. They make it look like you are purchasing it from Walmart directly. Total scam .... you should be ashamed read more

I live in the area and this is convenient to ship or pick up packages from UPS, USPS, FEDEX, etc. Staff can be a hit or miss but hey it is what it is. I don't take it to heart, I'm in and out relatively fast. Yes this a pharmacy which does carry most items like any other local pharmacies or chains, pricing can be hit or miss. Most of its clientele from what I observed are elderly neighborhood residents. If you live in the area it's very convenient. read more

Silver Rod Pharmacy sells products that other pharmacies typically sell: medications, hygiene products, beauty products, cleaning products, greeting cards, etcetera. I was a customer of Silver Rod to buy one particular product that they had in stock. My favorite shampoo has been sold out at big chain stores for a while (I hope that the manufacturer is not discontinuing it!), but I saw that the shampoo was available through Silver Rod Pharmacy's website. Silver Rod Pharmacy's price for a 13.5-ounce bottle of shampoo was the same as what a 25.4-ounce bottle used to cost elsewhere, despite the shampoo being on "sale." In addition, Silver Rod charged me a fee of $16 for shipping and handling. Despite these higher costs, I ordered 10 bottles of the shampoo for delivery to my home. Two days later, Silver Rod shipped the bottles of shampoo to me. Three days after that, the post office delivered the box to me. Silver Rod had carefully packaged the bottles, and none of them were damaged or spilled. Overall, the prices of the product could have been lower, but I feel happy to have my favorite shampoo to use again. read more

A smaller pharmacy compared to the other chain pharmacy in Bensonhurst . Friendly and helpful staff. Package drop off service; free for UPS, & FedEx, and $1 for USPS. Sells lotto ticket and inexpensive greeting cards. Great pharmacy department offering a more personal touch. Many loyal customers; mostly the elderly. Coffee station available. read more

Silver Rod Pharmacy - Store front - Drugstores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I ordered a bottle of shampoo on line from Silver Rod Pharmacy on January 12th and paid more than twice in shipping as the price of the shampoo. As of January 31st I have not received the item nor have I had a response to my inquiry of why it is taking so long. I would not recommend this organization to anyone. Catherine Cassidy read more

This is one of the last independent pharmacies in Brooklyn. Silver Rod has survived for many reasons. First is the location. It is located on a busy , sunny, stretch of 18 Avenue. The store is small, and easy to navigate. It is the only store in the area that sells Papyrus cards. You can ship Fedex and UPS at this location. You can purchase lottery tickets here. The store has a loyal legion of mature customers who prefer a smaller, more personal method of doing business. The larger CVS, that is only 1 block away, has only put a small dent in their business. read more

Silver Rod Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Growing up at Bensonhurst, this was my go to pharmacy. The staff is always friendly and they remember all their customers by their names. They have a little bit of everything so while I wait for my medication, I can always shop around the store. You also can test your luck and buy lottery or scratch off tickets. Everything is well organized and convenient to find. read more

terrible pharmacy, I dont think the techs no what they are doing. Waited forever and they were no help at all

I have dealt with a lot of pharmacies over the years and I have to say that Silver Rod is the best by far. Joe is hands down the best pharmacist you'll ever meet. He always has the warmest disposition and has a true passion for his field. read more

The best pharmacy in Brooklyn! I have been going here for over 20 years and they keep getting better. Their shipping dept rocks & I just got my DMV vision test which took 5 minutes and saved me an afternoon at the dreaded DMV. The staff knows me & my family by name and treat us like family. read more

I think they are scammers selling items online they do not have. Why else would they take your money instantly, at the same time telling you they are sorry your item is adding late (16 days) Maybe that explains the inflated price, ordering it from another retailer. Then, forwarding it to you. They did not provide any cancellation option the second they get your money. I think they are engaged in deceptive trade practices. That is why I intend to file a.complaint which the Federal Trade Commission. read more

I get cat food here. It's the cheapest place around for it. They have a UPS, Fed Ex and DHL shipping center as well as mailbox rentals. It's like it's own little postal office. The real post office is like 3 blocks away though... I'm giving Silver Rod one extra star because one of the employees looks so coked up it makes me giggle on the inside. read more

My last experience with them was horrible. Came in to get something shipped the dude behind shipping counter was so slow I wanted to tell him to hurry the hell up or give my package back. He would slowly ring stuff up... then get into conversations with other staff as he was assisting me and stop doing everything to talk to them.. then slowly come back to my package and resume wrapping it... Then he put my stuff into a box with no filler I asked him to get something.. he moved like a sloth.. again stopped to talk to staff for 2 minutes.. right after that says 'I can't find anything'. Seriously? Complete idiot, if you are reading it you are a absolute moron and should be fired. read more

Even though the post office is 3 blocks away, you can't ship UPS or FedEx there, so for me it's very convenient, if I get rid of anything heavy on eBay. Their hours are also much friendlier, especially if you're shipping something through USPS (which isn't even open Sunday). Though each service only picks up packages once a day at 5pm. Never actually bought anything there though =). Staff seem friendly. read more

Amazing asset to the community. So happy to see it still around. Staff is good, to those who have had bad experiences... I can't agree I've had the same. It's be pleasant for me and I've gone in many times to drop off prepaid ups packages and not even buy anything. Everyone I've encountered was lovely. read more

Do not order on-line if out of state. I bought items they listed because they were exactly the flavor I wanted, both the picture and the listing. But they sent me something different and will not respond to email or chat. Very disappointed. read more

Long live Silver Rod Pharmacy! Great historic place in the neighborhood. The pharmacy is very attentive and was able to help me get a cheaper options on my prescription ..always a plus. Now if only they would hire me to fix that place up haha.. some up to date decor...more customers and discounts would have this beating out that crappy CVS on the other corner! read more

Love this pharmacy. The staff is so helpful and friendly and they go out of their way to provide you with great service. They also have a lot of convenient shipping options. read more

Silver Rod Pharmacy, I have been coming here for years. They are fast, reliable and great prices. I would never think of going anywhere else. Its a family run pharmacy and they care about people. read more

Was told that silver rod pharmacy had a ups drop off station. I decided to go there because it was convenient for me since I live within walking distance. The Asian clerk lady behind the desk was so rude. I politely asked her a question and she responded with sarcasm. Not only to me but to all of the other customers before and after me. As if it was our fault that she's having a bad day. Her nose was pink and runny. Pretty unsanitary. Maybe she should've just taken the day off. I took my box with me and left. Not worth getting into it with this miserable person. read more

I shop here often. It's a great neighborhood store. Always a good selection and staff is friendly.

I'm 68 years old and have been going to Silver Rods since my grandmother took me when I was a youngster. I've been going to them ever since then for all kinds of items from dog treats to life saving medicine. The staff is top notch. They don't treat you like a number like CVS or Shoprite. These people really care about you and your needs. I'm moving out of state and I know very well I'll never find another pharmacy like Silver Rods. It will certainly be quite a loss. read more

The staff always re-orders the products that I rely upon them to have for me, week after week. Friendly service, great hours, can't go wrong read more

The pharmacy improved the service on daily basis.

This is a pharmachy + and it has a shipping section where you can drop off for UPS, USPS etc. Yesterday I stopped by with 2 packages which had preprinted USPS labels. The Chinese clerk stared at me (I'm OJ ; obviously Jewish) and if looks could kill... She told me as if in anger that the charge will be $1. for each pkg. I said OK. I gave a $5. bill she gave change... Angry.. for what? When she did not say 'thank you' I said the standard "you're welcome" and walked out of the store, never to return. read more

Cat food, lint rollers (for cat hair) and money orders. Thats what Im usually getting there. Wouldve given 5 stars but the old guy (the boss?) creeps me the f out so I try to be speedy and focused about the purchasing process. read more

This is the closest area to ship things! They pack it for you and everything. I dont know how to purchase prepaid labels so I come here and they do it for me. Post office is a bit farther so yeah, I dont like going there anyways. Always a long line! Silverrod has great service. Just not when their internet is down though. My advice is to go early to avoid any problems. Anna is the person to go to! read more

Silver Rod is the BEST!!!!!! Every time I've had issues with getting prescriptions filled by my insurance (which is a lot) Khul and the team at Silver Rod have gone above and beyond to help me. They're prompt, they follow up, and remember my name even when I've been there in months. I can't say how much I appreciate their service. I wish my insurance would let me fill all my prescriptions there, it's worth going out of my way to give them my business. They've even delivered to my office when I couldn't make it in. You guys are great! read more

I absolutely hate going here to drop off or pick up my packages. The cashiers are usually kids who seem like they hate their jobs. There were two cashiers one helping a customer who was taking forever and another doing absolutely nothing. He tells me to wait in the line behind the other customer. Meanwhile he is walking around asking customers walking around about sports teams while there are clearly 2 scanners available. All I had to do was drop off a box. But instead of assisting me which would have taken less than 5 seconds, he would rather me wait. Top notch service here. read more

An old-fashioned sort of pharmacy that provides a lot of miscellaneous services. Useful spot to drop off pre-labeled UPS, FedEx, and DHL packages for pickup. Have also used their notary public service (call ahead to see if the notary is in though). Never used the pharmacy. read more

I love this place. Recommended. It's so peaceful and pleasant (including the staff). The wait never seems long, and when you're corresponding in such a pleasant atmosphere, its worth it. Id have to give it Five Stars. read more

Silver Rod has been my pharmacy for over 10 years, there were other pharmacies wanted me to switch to them but I would not change to another pharmacy, there are many pharmacies out there but I only stay with Silver Rod. Joe and Khul from the pharmacy dept. are the main reason I am not switching to another pharmacy also the 2 owner. Joe and Khul always polite, extremely helpful, they are the best they work hard I never have any problems with them, they always help me/customers for their best interest. Anna and Isabel work in the front they are also very helpful! read more

When I come here, it's like stepping back into time. It reminds me of my childhood, when my grandmother, may she rest in peace until I get there, would have her prescriptions filled here. When she was very sick towards the end of her life, in and out of the hospital, Silver Rod treated us with compassion and dignity, and helped get us the best prices on medications, suggesting generics when appropriate. They are a true old-school establishment on 18th Avenue, one of the last businesses of this nature left in Brooklyn. I dig the out of date decor. Some things in life shouldn't change. If your grandmother has the same furniture and decor since the Eisenhower administration, that shouldn't change, and neither should Silver Rod. This place is an institution, a household name for those of us who have been in this neighborhood for decades. read more

I only go to Silver Rod - I walk many blocks past two Rite Aids to get my prescriptions filled here. They are polite, they phone you up when there's an issue, and they work with you to figure things out. Most of all, they know my name. I also drop off UPS packages there and they are one of the few places that give you a receipt. I appreciate their customer service and wish everyone in the neighborhood would go there. read more

BEWARE! If you pay them real money to handle an item shipped through the USPS, and even pay extra for a tracking number, it may still sit on the shelf in Silver Rod for days! Excuse I just got was, "well, our driver's car was broken down." This is effectively fraud, as they gladly take your money, but don't warn you that you're not getting what you thought you paid for! read more

Customers be very alert when playing the quick draw game. On may14,2011 I put money into the automatic ticket machine for a next game on the screen. I waited for the numers to be drawn and check for any winning numbers. I had six of the winning numbers, but some how to which I am going to call for an investigation, the ticket numbers for the game I played at the moment were for about ten minutes prior according to the store clerk. read more

They've been around since the horse and carriage strolled up and down 18th Ave. They are old pros at what they do and I would not go anywhere else. They always have what I need and are friendly and courteous. If there was a sixth star I would give it to them read more
