Great Variety of Products

CVS is a large corporation with a variety of products. Its site has a manageable 10 categories of products. They are: vitamins, baby & child, beauty, diet & nutrition, health & medicine, home health care, household & grocery, personal care, sexual health, skin care. When you select a product the sites provides you with an overview of that product, and gives details of what the consumer will be buying. It also has tabs to view the ingredients, directions, and warnings. There is a place to read reviews that other customers have written about the product as well.

Multiple Loyalty Programs

CVS offers two different loyalty programs for its customers. It offers "extra savings" and "extra bucks". The extra savings gives its members personalized coupons when you shop and weekly deals and coupons in emails. The extra bucks give you 2% back in rewards on your everyday purchases. You can also earn bucks by filling prescriptions with them. The program requires you to sign up and have a CVS account, but it is free and simple to do.

Free Shipping on Orders of $35

CVS offers a free shipping rate to its customers when they spend $35 or more on any purchase. CVS also accept returns for up to 30 days after the purchase. If the product was a CVS brand product, it would offer a 100% guarantee. CVS will also accept returns on opened or unopened items if the customer is not fully satisfied.

The Bad

Website
Extra Bucks Loyalty Program

Website

The CVS website is not user friendly. It was difficult to find products, and can lead you on a wild goose chase. It is also difficult to find information regarding ingredients, possible side effects, and warnings regarding the medicine.

Extra Bucks Loyalty Program

Thr "extra bucks" loyalty program does not seem like it is very loyal to the customer. Its bucks program offers 2% back in rewards on everyday purchases. Once the reward is given quarterly, the consumer has only 45 days to use them before they expire. No bucks can roll over and must be used in one shopping trip.

The Bottom Line

We found the CVS site to be harder to navigate and shop on than others we have viewed. We also found that its free shipping rates and loyalty programs were not as competitive as others. It does have a large variety of products and has been in business for a long period of time. CVS would be a good site for someone looking for more than just vitamins.

I like the product availability and the ease of shopping there. Customer service has always been good. Sometimes pharmacy can be moody. Overall I will continue to shop there for my makeup and medications.

CVS is one of ,y favorite vitamin stores, they have any and every vitamin you are looking for with a variety of brands to choose from. They also have other things available needed at home such as quick meals, beverages, and cosmetics to name a few of their purchase options. The price is a little more expensive than a regular grocery store but they do have cash back deals if you have a CVS card.

I have been using CVS as my pharmacy for the past two years and I love it! They have developed an application that makes it easy to track your medications and upcoming refills. My favorite part is that they offer free 1-2 day delivery for eligible medication.

I like cvs it’s just the employees that always annoy me. I don’t think I’ve ever met a hardworking cvs employee. CVS is a place that does money orders and debit card reloads but for some reason their machines are always broken. Aka employees are too lazy to do the process or aren’t trained on how to do it

CVS is a great store for your everyday vitamins. I recently bought metabolism pills as a dietary supplement and was very pleased with the results they’ve had on my weight loss. They are also cheaper than most fitness stores where they sell the same thing.

Convenient that it’s in target and I can see someone in there about the vitamins I buy. They are helpful and knowledgeable. One time they didn’t have The vitamin I was prescribed and took forever to get back to me to let me know that they didn’t have it and couldn’t get it. That was annoying. But every other time it’s convenient and worth it for me.

The pick up time for medications at CVS pharmacy are insanely fast. I have had several doctors appointments in which I am prescribed meds and within 2 hours, I either receive a text or email from CVS letting me know that they are ready to be picked up. You can either walk in pick up or pick up through their drive through window. It is convenient for all.

I ran out of my vitamins while on vacation. We found a CVS and I was so impressed with the store! Clean, organized, layout was quick and efficient to find what I needed, there were multiple cashiers so we weren’t in line forever and the employees were very friendly answering questions and helping us feel comfortable!

I love this place when I am in the bigger cities. We do not have one in our town but there is one around 20 miles away.

It's a convenient place to buy vitamins. I wish there was more variety of vitamins (which I can usually get at a dedicated nutrition store or mass retailer). The prices are a little high but you can't beat the convenience when I"m already there picking up prescriptions.

They're fine. I get medication from them every month and for some reason they stopped using my financial aid card. And told me I had to get a shot for one of my prescriptions the doctor sent over -- and that they don't provide that shot here... Turns out, what I needed was an over-the-counter medicine that I could have gotten the first of the three times I went in to try to get it...

CVS has been lacking in products for vitamins and supplements. You can get the bare necessities but if you want diversity, it's better to go to another store. The only good part is the prices are somewhat manageable.
