The member of staff I spoke to was very informative and friendly

The member of staff I spoke to was very informative and friendly. After I explained my ailment they suggested a further form of medication that would suit me better.
I mentioned that this pharmacy had a much better vibe and far more friendlier than Boots across the road.

I am so happy with Rowlands Pharmacy in Stevenston! The staff there are always extremely polite, friendly, and helpful. Even though English is not our first (or even second) language, they always listen carefully, patiently, and kindly help us understand everything we need. It’s always a pleasure to speak with them. I have never seen such a welcoming and supportive team in any pharmacy before. Thank you for making every visit so easy and pleasant!

I attended the Alberta branch in East Kilbride this week and I was delighted with the service.
I was seen right away by the pharmacist Freeda who had a very caring and professional manner.
After a short consultation she was able to prescribe me some antibiotics.
I thought the service was great quick and easy. Saved me fighting to get a docs appt. I was very grateful they were able to help me. I will be recommending this pharmacy to everyone.

Joke of a company

I've ordered from this company now three times in total. First time went without a hitch. 2nd time after sending me the despatch email, had to remind them to actually hand the parcel over to royal mail.
Third time, which I'm currently still dealing with now, placed my order a week ago. Got despatch email instantly but the order hasn't actually been handed over to Royal Mail.
Got threatened to have my order cancelled for simply enquiring then told to be patient. Still waiting today! Apparently it's everyone else's fault but their own.

I would just like my order!

Clearly this company are unable to fulfil orders online, makes me wonder why they accept them in the first place.

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. I use the Rowlands pharmacy at Culloden Inverness and I have nothing but problems every single time. I never receive the prescriptions that I ordered for my mother and they try to blame my doctors surgery for not sending them. But I know the doctor did send them as I phone my doctors surgery straight away. The staff are useless, they completely ignore their customers, leave them standing about for a long time and they’re very good at hiding through the back. The pharmacy has recently had a refurbishment but all the refurbishments it gets isn’t going to make a difference when it’s the staff that needs to be sorted. I am going to use any other pharmacy as the Culloden one is never going to change. The amount of customers who have left 1 star reviews tells anyone all they need to know.
