Safeway Pharmacy

The reviews are accurate. Like many others I switched to Safeway after Riteaid went out of business. Most recently I had a new RX sent in to be filled and didn’t hear anything for a week. I tried calling them and they never answered the phone. So I went in to ask about the status of my RX in person, and they told me that my insurance won’t cover it the way that it’s written and that I need to tell my dr to rewrite the RX. Uh….okay? THIS WHOLE TIME?! I understand that’s how insurance works and that’s fine. But I should have been notified if I’m supposed to reach out to my doctor. I’ve been waiting for this medication for DAYS. Worst communication I’ve ever experienced. I also share the same feeling as everyone else- when I go to the Safeway Pharmacy I feel like I’m an inconvenience to the

Horrible unreliable pharmacy location. I get a message from that Phatmacy that my prescription is ready for pickup and then they tell me they have no record. This has happened to me there before. I am told by staff it happens all the time. Pharmacy staff frequently are surly and appear to care less about patients. What is wrong with Safeway. I’ve used Safeway Pharmacy in Bellevue for 30 years and they were wonderful.

Honestly, this is the worst pharmacy in the Bellingham area, and the worst pharmacy I have ever used. I will call several times in a day for info or help on my prescription, and I'm honestly lucky if they answer, but I absolutely never receive a call back. When the pharmacists actually do answer the phone they are always rude, unbecoming and entirely unprofessional. The pharmacist at Safeway do not care about its clients and their medicine that is extremely important to them. I never have these issues at the Walmart pharmacy. I finally had enough and I wrote this review. I will be getting the names of these pharmacist that treat everyone so poorly and I will be sharing them on this review because it needs to change. Safeway, these reviews are absolutely shameful, and it's shocking that you

I switched over to Safeway after Rite Aid closed next door. I get the poor ratings and most of the comments I find are merited. If I go to the doctor and need a Rx right away I have them send it somewhere else. I would switch to Walgreens across the street, but every time I have been there it was a super long line. Safeway REALLY needs to do some customer service training on the pharmacy staff.

Not professional and horrible customer service. Was forced to wait 3 days without time sensitive medication due to their lack of communication, didn’t receive assistance in finding alternative stores during the meantime, and there was a clear lack of respect in person. I left the store in tears and felt they didn’t want to assist me. Will not be returning due to concerns over professionalism and communication regarding medications.
