Frustrating run-around with Chewy
It sounds like Chewy's pharmacy is really screwing up lately, looking at the recent reviews. My experience with Chewy was also frustrating and stressful. Customer service representatives are nice, and trying to help, but ultimately several phone calls and several weeks later and I still am unable to get an order processed. I have three prescriptions for my dog. I mailed my prescriptions in following instructions given to me by a Chewy rep. My orders have had multiple issues over the past several weeks since I submitted them, being cancelled and delayed. I have talked to at least 4 different customer service representatives, and even called the pharmacy directly once responding to a voicemail. On one of those times, a rep walked me through ensuring my order was placed correctly, and confirmed that the prescriptions were on file and the order was 100% ready to go. However it was cancelled AGAIN. I had to call AGAIN and this time, the rep tells me that the pharmacy supposedly never received my prescriptions. It says on my account that the prescriptions were successfully added to the medicine! And on previous calls customer service reps verified that the prescriptions were on my account! The pharmacy then suggested that I get new prescriptions, and then take them to a walmart or a cvs and ask them to fax them to chewy on my behalf! This was such an odd suggestion that I pushed back and asked why would a human pharmacy do this service for me, the rep put me on hold for the fourth time to ask the pharmacy what they meant and came back and told me actually I needed to take my prescriptions to a walmart and have them mail them for me on my behalf. However I needed to call ahead and ensure they did that service. I'm certain if I call walmart and ask this they will have no idea what I'm talking about- why would they do this service? Regardless, this is a ridiculous run around and still doesn't explain why it took over two months and several calls (I am OUT of my dog's medicine now) for ANYONE at Chewy to inform me that they supposedly did not receive my prescriptions even after MULTIPLE calls with different service representatives told me the complete opposite and it appears clearly on my account that they have my prescriptions! Chewy, something is wrong with your system or the way your online ordering is set up, but I am not going to continue as a Chewy customer if every order is as stressful and frustrating as this as been! It's absurd how non-functional their communication/record system has been. Will check out other options for future orders, maybe the 1-800 pet meds will be better.
