Full review
I was shopping at
Walgreens.com before I ever stepped into one of their B&M stores. Every experience with them has been problem free from start to delivery. Their prices are average (about what you'd pay at your local drugstore) but they have a lot of sales, rebates and online only deals. You can keep track of your online AND local store rebates from their site!
FINDING WHAT YOU NEED
There are
three main ways to find what you need.
1. The
bar across the top with 6 choices ~
Home
Pharmacy
Store Online *some great online only deals
Photo
Health Library
Our Company
2. By
Store Category Aisles where there are 10 categories, all with many subcategories ~
Baby Care
Beauty Care
Electronics
Food & Snacks
Health Care
Home Medical Equipment & Supplies
Household & Hardware
Personal Care
School & Office
Vitamins & Nutritional Care
3. The
Search that works by keyword.
These follow you as you shop, making it easy to switch from department to department.
SHOPPING
When you find a product you are
interested in you can click on either the products name or picture to get more details. One nice thing is that all of their items come up with the price showing and the ability to add it to your cart right there, skipping the more information page if you are already familiar with the product. Be sure to check the
FREE with rebate section for some excellent deals!
To
purchase an item, you simply put in the quantity that want and click on the
add to cart button. You can then continue shopping, add it to your shopping list or head over to checkout.
Once you are ready to
checkout you need to give all the regular billing and mailing information. After picking a password, you will be able to have this information on file and save time checking out in the future.
After ordering, you will get a detailed
confirmation email. You are able to track your purchase online.
SHIPPING
They have FREE shipping for all US orders over $50 and charge $5.49 for orders less than $50. All of my orders have been complete and well packed.
You have the option of mailing your order to your own or to another address. My orders have all been delivered within 5 of ordering. All of my orders have been complete and well packed.
~~ ** ~~ ** ~~ 2BUZY'S FINAL THOUGHTS ON THIS SITE ~~ ** ~~ ** ~~
The
Walgreens.com site was an easy to navigate site with a nice size selection to choose from. I like the fact they have good sales, online specials and put out coupons that can lower your prices even more. Be sure to check your favorite coupon site (for coupon codes) and reward site (for reward points)BEFORE you order!
I would like to see the FREE shipping be lowered to orders of $25 instead of $50.
Since all of my orders have been problem free,
I would recommend you check out
walgreens.com BEFORE you venture outside in the cold to your local drugstore!
