. The staff at the counter can help you with FedEx OnSite services. - Kinda slow service. + But straightforward. After they finally scanned my barcode, I dropped off my FedEx package and was on my way. Got a text alert immediately. . Expected to arrive 5 days since dropoff. + Nice, helpful staff. + Quiet, peaceful ambience. + Ample parking. read more

I had to transfer a prescription to pick up by my work instead of near my home - the pharmacist was so rude, wouldn't let me finish my sentences and interrupting me constantly. I still maintained politeness and thanked him at the end of the call, after which he said nothing and just hung up. read more

They ALWAYS mess up. I called in at 7:30 am and the pharmacist said that my medication will be ready for pickup after noon. I came here just after noon and they told me it's out of stock at this location, and that it's been processed at a pharmacy extremely far away from me. Seriously???? TERRIBLE. Nice of them to do this with breathing medication. read more

26 Minute wait on the pharmacy phone on hold with no employee picking up except to put me back on hold for three more times. This is not uncommon at this particular location. I am on hold right now with Walgreens on Jeffrey and Alton in Irvine, Ca. as I write this review. As I continued to hold another 4 minutes, an automated voice came on stating that they are unusually busy and hung up on me. read more

This pharmacy is a mess and a nightmare. A doctor called in a prescription. When I arrived they said it would be twenty minutes, they didn't fill because they " didn't know it if I wanted it. " An hour later when I returned, they didn't fill because they couldn't find my insurance. They just helped person after person behind me because they couldn't find my insurance even though I said I would pay out of pocket and handle later. Two hours later, they discovered they were spelling my name wrong. Three and a half hours after I arrived, I got partial fills because they didn't not have the medications. Picking up refills was almost an identical rerun. I will never return to any Walgreens. Try Amazon, you'll never return. read more

For the second time, I had to wait in line @ 6pm for 10 minutes while the lady in front of me tried to figure out the information she needed to pick up a prescription. Can you at least ask another person working in the pharmacy to help out with customer service?? There's a REASON you only have a 2-star rating on Yelp read more

They refuse to fill your prescriptions even if you have a medically diagnosed condition. Once they receive the correct diagnostic code, they refuse to accept your insurance. Once they decide to accept your insurance for your medical condition, they switch your brand-name medications to cheap generics, even when the doctor handwrites the brand-name medications. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like they charge my insurance the brand-name price but give you cheap (cheap medications have many side effects) generics. Once you finally get your brand-name medications for your medically diagnosed condition in their system, and your insurance covers it correctly, they make you wait two to three days after your medications run out because somehow their electronic phone system says your doctor didn't send the refill, even though your doctor says he has. You literally have to go inside the pharmacy and speak to the head pharmacist if he's there at all or get him on the pharmacy phone, which takes forever (calling multiple times because the phone system drops your call), while everyone laughs at you behind the mirror because they don't want to give you your medications for some unknown reason. Like, why are you a pharmacist and a technician if you don't want to fill and give the medications to the patients? What kind of pharmacy laughs at its patients while they pick up their medications? Worst experience ever. The medications they gave me caused massive headaches. They also refuse to accept my daughter's insurance and prescription medications. They refuse to fill her pediatrician's prescriptions and force you to buy expensive over-the-counter equivalents. What's the point of having insurance if the pharmacies do not use it to cover all the meds that doctors prescribe? Lastly, they refused to update my name in their system, which they claimed to have done. When I finally received my meds after a 3-day delay every month caused by them, my name was still incorrect on the receipt. For certain meds, we have to carry the receipt with us at all times, and it must have our correct name. P.S: What's the point of paying FICA taxes my entire working life, if when my daughter and I need to access those benefits, pharmacies, technicians, dentists, doctors etc...refuse to take the card, use it, run it, they double bill it, and try to upsell you on services, demand only cash for prescriptions meds, laugh at you, and mistakenly say it's free money and to make matters worse they won't treat you at all. Omg. read more

Worst Walgreens ever for picking up prescriptions. About an hour wasted each time. I have 3 different prescriptions and waste 2+ hours each month in line picking them up. There are usually 4 -5 people working in the pharmacy, with the least experienced person working the only register open. read more

Most of the peoples who work in this Alton Parkway pharmacy are unfriendly and rude ! When describes medication for me it's the Dr. responsibly not the pharmacist capacity to ask what's for or why ! They gave me a run around for 2 days before finally gave me the medication ! I called Walgreens Corporate and logged in a complaint , let hope they will fixe it ! I told Walgreens Corporate to learn how CVS run it Pharmacies because Walgreens is adapting Rite Aid business model and it's failing ! read more

Liz and her trainer (I'm so sorry I forgot your name) were the absolute sweetest. Their printer and systems were having some issues today and they handled both quickly and with kindness. I had just waited 2 hours in line to vote and while I was waiting for them to blow up some balloons I ordered (at 9pm, again I'm so sorry) the other woman waited with me and was so nice. Endlessly grateful for their kindness and efficiency read more

The walgreens pharmacy at this location has a very unprofessional and disorganized staff. They do not respect your time or take it into consideration. I experienced long wait times, poor communication, and a general lack of urgency or care. It felt like customer needs were ignored, and the manager himself at the pharmacy had way too much of an attitude to even be working in management. read more

I made a 7:10pm appointment for a flu shot waited 25 mins and when I asked how much longer it would be the pharmacist said rudely 30 more minutes. What is the point of making an appointment!?!? read more

Had a vaccination scheduled for Sept 9 and there was absolutely no one in the pharmacy. One person cut around and found an individual filling prescriptions but they seemed slow and unprofessional. Went here becuase this was the closest pharmacy with Moderna vaccinations. Will go to CVS which is a block from my home but only has Pfizer. At least they have people in the pharmacy. read more

The pharmacy is the best!! They keep track of our prescriptions so well! They track down insurance issues and follow up with doctors to get our medications for us. We also appreciate how they explain the medication and watch out for possible interactions. They are the absolute best!! read more

Need more people working at the Pharmacy. Only see 4 people working (1 person left). Wait was long.

Friendly service and not very busy. They were well stocked, good selection. We have used their Photos service many times in the pictures. I've always turned out nicely and are well priced. Plenty of easy parking and great hours. Good for your pharmacy and make up needs as well as snacks. read more

Worse service ever. Do not recommend going to this Walgreens. Go to the Walgreens in Woodbury or CVS across the street instead. The staff here is ignorant, they don't care if you made appointment ahead of time. They work at their own pace as if they are in public government sector. They are not respectful of basic service etiquettes. read more

The cashier Dahlia (spelling) was a terrible representative of this Walgreens location. I watched her interact with an Asian woman in a very unpolite manner. No greetings or pleasantry. Until two Caucasian shoppers came up she started being a pleasant cashier by greeting each one with a "how are you" and "have a good day". Now as my turn came around, again her pleasant demeanor went away. She never said one word to me and just stared at me in disgust. She rang up my items without telling me the cost and handed the receipt in a get lost gesture. I called the Walgreen after I left to speak with the store manager. The same cashier transferred me to the pharmacist when I specifically asked for the store manager. Store manager and pharmacist does not sound alike, so she did the incorrect transfer purposely. I spoke with lead after the pharmacist transferred me to her. The lead was very kind. But that cashier needs to be disciplined and retrained in customer service. Since she represents this Walgreen in a racist way, this store should receive negative stars. read more

Nice young lady with glasses is so helpful and kind. Stopped coming here due to a rude female employee. Been months since ive last stepped in this store. Her and the cashier were so kind and helped me price check Christmas items. Im glad i'll be coming back again to this walgreens! read more

I come here every so often for the printing services. I get Christmas cards printed here and just recently used them to print 20x30 posters for my mom's memorial service. Everything I've had printed has turned out great. They are good quality and they often have 50% off deals so they have the best prices. When I bring my 2 year old we hang out in the seasonal toy aisle and he gets lots of entertainment. They have some uniqe and reasonably priced things here that you dont really find anywhere else. I usually cave in and buy my son a toy or 2. I always get good customer service and am very happy with our purchases. read more

Sooooooo I went in with my fam after kbbq cause it's nearby, I went in and my bf was just buying some things I decided to add myself a Vibe (Alc) and I'm honestly in fine with being carded but since my little brother and his friend (my fam!) was there we were profiled as thinking we'd share a SMALL drink between the four of us. This was for my own personal gain and this has never happened. Honestly please review how you treat your customers when it comes to parties of more than 2. Like do you ID a Dad and his daughter if they come in?? What if I was just picking up stuff for the next day and I had my 6 year old niece? You gonna card her too? Grow up. I would 100% give 0 stars if I could. It was a Hispanic girl at the counter didn't get her name but she seemed to have highlights and mostly blondish. But anyway."sorry guys I don't wanna lose my job" I think I'd be more concerned why you think 4 ppls would share a small ass drink lol. Went to Circle K nearby and they were able to help me out regardless of my part size. The guy even laughed when I told him what happened at Walgreens read more

DONOT go to this pharmacy. I never had any problems with flu vaccination. So regretting to visit this pharmacy. The pharmacist gave me vaccine by injured my arm. She made me bleeding, bruise, and leave a scar on my arm. I want to file a complaint to the store manager, however, the manager just send the shift lead who has no authority to do anything. read more

This location refused to give vaccinations to people with an immune deficiency, and basically required documentation to verify immune status which, is different from what the CDC and California department of health states on their websites. Apparently it's also common for Pharmacies like this one to consider folks with severe asthma not to be "at risk". read more

I was waiting in line to pay when this lady (the Manager of this store named Diane) was yelling at this poor employee named Jason (saw it on his tag) She was yelling at him like if he was her child. She was so disrespectful to him and the worst thing, yelling in front of customers. I don't appreciate employees being treated like that. If she does that in front of people I wonder how she treats everyone when nobody is watching? She was so condescending to this poor guy doing a great job. It appeared as she just wanted to humiliate him. I don't know what the deal is with this lady but us customers should speak out for the people that can't or that are being oppressed by people like her. Corporate should really dismiss this lady from her position and make this young guy the actual Manager!!! He has great customer service skills and great attitude even when he was yelled at. read more

What happened to this walgreens?! And, can you atleast hire people who care, specifically managers. Ive ordered 2 photobooks 2 weeks apart and its never ready when its supposed to be. The excuse both times were..."The photo guy is on lunch" I drove all the way over 2x with my infant. Gas is not cheap and its not like its "hassle free" lugging my baby around. When I informed the manager, he literally rolled his eyes as if he didnt care... and Im sure he didnt because who likes to hear complaints? But thats part of "customer service" unfortunately you have to care. In all, the walgreens sucks, employees dont care and They hate their jobs and people. The only one who cared was the nice young man working the cashier, he had long brown hair with a pony tail. He was the only one helping people while the manager was doing god knows what and the "photo guy" who supposedly on lunch was actually stocking the isles because I saw him read more

worst pharmacy ever !!!!! they never have prescriptions on time and they make you way even longer go to another place idk like CVS but the location at pacific horrrible service !!!!! wont be back ever again save your time and go some where else and read more

Walgreens on the corner of Alton & Jeffrey in Irvine CA must be very short-staffed. They called me this week to ask if I was going to pick up a certain prescription. I requested delivery. The lady agreed & asked about 2 more of my prescriptions. I told her to mail them too. I got the 1st prescription yesterday-by itself. Today I got message that the other 2 scrips were "picked up" yesterday. I didn't go to Walgreens yesterday...so I called today & a lady checked- my scrips are ready to be picked up by Fed Ex. But I explained message said scrips were picked up yesterday & she's saying those 2 scrips are at pharmacy waiting to be picked up for delivery...so confusing. I prefer delivery as counter for pharmacy only has 1 person helping customers. Standing in line is the worst thing to do when you are ill. Thinking of changing to a different drugstore. read more

I would not recommend the pharmacy. They take at least over an hour to fill any prescription. The last time it took all day to fill a children's antibiotic. It is difficult to reach anyone by phone. read more

I came in for the first dose of Dr Falsey's Pfizer vaccine. I only made the appointment the night before. They had an setup in the middle of the store which made everything fast. I was in and out in no time. read more

Need to print out a custom photo poster for a last minute inspired gift? You came to the right place! You know how certain people are sometimes paralyzed with indecision of making the right choice for an anniversary gift and wait until the last second to get something? Well, that's this guy right here! Lol. So I create a photo collage for a 24x36 poster through the Walgreens website after uploading a dozen photos. I click order and apply a 30% discount which becomes $21 after its initial $30 price. Not bad! The expected ready time for the poster was 6:45pm but I get an email after 8pm that the poster is finally ready. Only an hour late, I guess. I make a U-turn while driving from a long day of work and head here instead. After arriving, I walk over to the photo area and there's nobody manning the station. There's a cashier talking to a customer and I suppose he's the one who is supposed to work here. Thanks goodness it isn't too crowded tonight! After a few minutes of waiting, the cashier comes over and looks for my photo poster. I recognize the poster and I point out that I think I see it lying near the printer. Well, he doesn't pick up the poster and doesn't know how to run the photo processing. He has to bring in some other guy to help. After a few minutes, a second guy comes over and retrieves my poster and rolls it up into a plastic poster sleeve. I pay for it and leave. The photo poster itself is a decent print. It seemed like the top of the poster is cut prematurely because the edge of the poster seems awfully close to my head in one of the photos. Well, it will have to do, right? Beggars can't be choosers I suppose. That's whatcha get for doing stuff last minute! Pros store not crowded Cons photo ready time late not all employees fully trained read more

Pharmacy is extremely slow . It seems like nobody knows what's going on. I was told 3 different times my medication I was waiting on for 5 days was ready . All 3 times of going to the pharmacy I was told it's not ready , nothing was called in , there is an insurance Issue . Etc . Finally after being told the last and final time my medication was ready I get up to the counter and I'm told I can't pick up my prescription because I don't live in Irvine . Which I do . I just moved out here . My drivers license has a different address. Just very annoying I've wasted so much time in a week over something that should be simple and convenient read more

It's a Walgreens, but it's a Walgreens in Irvine, so expect cleaner and wider aisles and an overall more organized and well-stocked store. Workers are trying to be friendly, but it's not easy and I get it. I've come in for random things ranging from lip balm to beer to greeting cards and each time has been the same: it's a store and it's a Walgreens. Nothing remarkable to say about this place either positive or negative. Get in. Get out. Get on your way. read more

Placed an order online and had it delivered to the store. Went to pick up the order a few days later and the staff said that since I didn't pick up the item within 24 hours of the email, they restocked the item (a policy that is not listed on their website, on my order confirmation email or order pick up email) and no longer had my order available despite the fact I had already paid for it online. Walgreens customer service line wasn't much more help. After being transferred to 4 different technicians, I was transferred to someone who worked at this Walgreens location who then proceeded to tell me they found my order. High marks if you're looking for inconvenience and incompetence. read more

I've never gotten prescriptions here but have gone in for over-the-counter medicines, various sundries and - okay, I'll admit it - their Good & Delish brand ice cream. The "Celebrity Apprentice" flavors are especially good (Vanilla Chocolate Magic Swirtle and Maple Macadamia Mash Up). This Walgreens is always very neat and tidy. Things are easy to find. I prefer this Walgreens to the CVS across the street. Employees seem like they'd rather be anywhere but here though. read more

Five stars for Edgar. Nice guy who helped me out with a few items. Greeted everyone who came through their door.

Ive only been in this store maybe twice.... I went in last week to pick up an order from the photo department. I waited quite a bit for someone to help me, and the girl who did end up helping me had a pretty poor attitude. I think I will choose another store in the future. read more

Paid online for Christmas cards and everything was looking good! But when we went to pick it up over a day after it was ready, we were told: 1. Their machine was broken so they couldn't make any of the cards 2. We have to re-make the order online at the Huntington Beach location 3. Have to drive all the way to Huntington Beach in order to get our cards I am aware this may not technically be the fault of this Walgreens location - but we didn't receive a phone call when they found out the machine was broken. It may have been broken by the time we made the order even. They accepted our payment online of course, and gave us no information about a refund...so I'm currently out 50$ (confirmed processed by my bank) and have to re-pay 50$ to remake the order and drive way out of my way to get it? What if the machine there is broken too? Lack of customer communication and care. Out 50$ with no cards and no help from the workers on how to get reimbursed. We won't be using Walgreens anymore for cards that's for sure! read more

This location is one of the current location just because of where the building six. It is right off of the main road so it's pretty easy to get there. I'd like to stop at Walgreens before I head off to my sons basketball games and football games because this Walgreens is located right around the corner from the school. I also stop at Walgreens when I drop my son off to school but lately he has been getting a ride from his friends so I haven't had an opportunity to stop by as much as I used to. The parking lot is pretty clean at this location there's not a lot of trash in dirt in the parking lot like other Walgreens locations.. I always get the aspirin packets want to go to this Walgreens. They always have a really good price on the aspirin packets here. Every other store I go to they charge so much money for those things. But this Walgreens usually have a pretty good deals on them so I try to buy as many as I can when I am there because again I don't always get a chance to go there as often as possible. read more

The pharmacy and pharmacy staff used to be amazing!! Helpful, kind, thorough. Now they speak to you like you're stupid, take twice as long to fill a prescription, while talking loudly enough that the entire waiting room knows what medications you're taking. They may as well yell your birthdate as well. I will switch pharmacies moving forward after 15yrs at this one. read more

Don't try calling the pharmacy a head of time to fill your prescription. I spent 21 min on hold while driving to this location. No one in Line, I walk up to counter and I can hear my call on hold just ringing away. I need a prescription and had to wait 30 min to be filled. So I left my phone on too see if they would ever answer it. Nope. Some one picked up Phone after 38 min and with out say anything just put me back on hold. One hour later I gave up. This will be my last time using WalGreens for medication. read more
