Costco Pharmacy is noted for its top-notch, professional, courteous, prompt, and helpful staff. The team works with patience to resolve issues like prescription transfers and frame mismatches until everything is perfect. Customers report that the pharmacy efficiently handles complexities, such as transferring all prescriptions and obtaining insurance authorizations for early refills, often in less than ten minutes. This location is consistently described as better than other pharmacies, including other Costco locations, CVS, Target, Vons, Ralph's, and Walgreens. The broader Costco store is a busy one-stop shop, especially packed on weekends, with long lines and parking that can be a little crazy. The best time to visit is in the morning or early afternoon mid-week. It requires a membership to access discounts and monthly deals, which are great for people on a strict budget, and members earn cash back. The store features a gas station, a tire center with great offers and a nitrogen air filling station, and a food court selling inexpensive items like a beef hotdog with a refillable drink, pizza, chicken bake, and soft ice cream. It is located next to a mall. A common customer wish is for the store to add a scanning feature to make shopping easier and more convenient. Note that some departments, like the optical service, are in the pharmacy area, but customers should verify specific operating hours as closures, particularly on weekends and holidays, have been a point of frustration.
All of the staff at Costco Pharmacy Lakewood are very helpful and considerate, not to mention the cost is better than anywhere else I've been.

I want to Costco before, but when I went through it was closed that’s why I don’t like about Costco and it’s like always closed on weekends and holidays

The optical department worked with me through prescription re-dos and frame mismatches until my glasses were perfect. I appreciated their cheerful patience.
