Shoppers Drug Mart exorbitant pricing

Can someone please explain to me why an anti-perspirant should cost over $8.00 in your BLOOR street Toronto store, whereas exactly the same product costs $5.99 in a local convenience store.
I understand that Shoppers gives points but the product was over 25% more expensive than a convenience store!
I imagine that I'm not the first to ask this question but I'd like to know if ALL products are marked up this way so that I can know to avoid buying anything there in future.

Shoppers Drug Mart ghost charging on customers

September 23, 2019 at 15:38:22, Ref# [protected] [protected] C
Receipt Scan # 9990206011012001936729
from 390 North Front Street, Belleville ON K8P3E1
[protected] 3

I have a serious concern regarding my invoice/receipt after reviewing my receipt. The cashier said it is NOT the 1st time this has taken place where the system automatically adds a charge like this randomly to customers bills and seems to happen when there is several items purchased. This alone is outrageous. I had a phantom charge of $6.99 + tax appear on my bill calling itself, " Kodak Processi". I had made NO such purchase, had to go and stand in line with 10 other people as only one cashier and she refused to take me before they were rung out. I would like to know how this even happens? how it has not been corrected? and why the cashier not alarmed says it has happened before? This is surely illegal not to mention an extreme pain to have to go back and deal with on my time. Please provide a reply on this crazy phantom charging concern. thank you, should require information please do not hesitate to contact me. This must not happen and is unacceptable, Tami Turcotte

I was told by your Sydney location I was able to return or exchange my life brand scale as it had a lifetime warranty. As I lived closer to the saanichton location I called this store and the lovely girl said I was able to return it as well. As I purchased this scale close to a year ago I did not have the receipt and that was not a problem for the Sydney...

Shoppers Drug Mart gift cards

Hello,
I recently purchased five $100 iTune gift cards only to later realize that I was being scammed. I have reached out to iTunes to let them know of this incident and they have disabled the account on their end where the iTune gift cards were used. They have advised that I reach out to the retailer where I purchased the gift cards to see if I can obtain a refund. I have the receipts, the iTune gift cards as well the my email correspondence with iTunes themselves regarding my situation.

Please help.

Thanks.

Michelle

If I make a special trip to take advantage of your flyer's 2-day specials - and then get there and the shelves are empty, I do not expect the checkout girl to snippily ask me if I asked the staff in the storeroom if there was any stock back there... Not my job to chase down your staff. She phoned the storeroom and was told they were sold out... So, I asked...

In the morning of September 20th I spoke with a member of the pharmacy team to get one of my prescriptions filled. She told me it would be ready at 4:30. I got busy with making dinner and my husband offered to pick it up on the way home. He had worked an 11 hour day and when he got to the pharmacy at 7:30 pm the prescription was not even filled. Now I can...

This Grand Falls-Windsor Shoppers Store is a complete Joke and so is the Older Lady Postal worker there. I ship a lot of stuff through Canada Post and the Postal Worker(senior Lady) at this location doesn't even know how to do her job and knows nothing about Canada Post. This Older Lady stood there and argued with me that permanent stamps are worth 90...

The lack of respect and accommodation done by the manager and the the cashier was absolutely appalling. I tried to return unopened hair dye without a receipt, I was told over the phone that I could use my store card to return it, and when I came into the store that was not the case. Kanji was beyond rude to me, she then proceeded to call over a manager that...

I was at your store on sept 14 19 around 9pm. Anyway when I walked to the aisle to grab my item I never saw that someone has spilled some liquid on the floor and I nearly slipped, I was mad that the clerk never put the hazard sign in front but on the left hand side of the spill, anyway so I was a bit irate at what happened.

Shoppers Drug Mart prescription

Wow.. 1014 complaints and 10 resolved. Makes me think a complaint is a waste of my time and yours. Perhaps given your resolution success rate you should close your complaints department.
I transferred my prescriptions to shoppers when Costco moved to a less convenient location;. I dropped a script off on Wednesday for a Friday pickup. I should have received 200 tablets. To my surprise I paid for 200 tables.. $650.00.. and when I got home I had 30 and an iou for 170. So.. I go back to the pharmacy.. oh.. sorry forgot to tell you we were out. Looking at going back to Costco and certainly notifying my insurance provider.

Hello,

I would like to make a complaint about a purchase I did last night and brought it back the next day but they didn't want to reimburse me because the manager (Arliya) if I remember said it was already use and refuse to do anything. I always shop at this location for a couple of years I won't recommend to anyone anymore to go there and have a bad service.I won't buy anything anymore at that location.

Thank you,
Marco
