I visited Grants Pass Pharmacy to get some medications for pre-surgery trials and the sales woman told me they had a surgery kit I would need for my hospital stay. I purchased the bag of items and I noticed the sales woman writing on the receipt in 2 separate places that the items were not returnable. I thought this a rather odd business procedure but since I never return anything to a store I just paid and left. When I returned home and unpacked the plastic bag it contained 5 large bandages to cover a knee, 4 smaller bandages and a 4" ace bandage. I was rather surprised that I had paid $34.95 for this small amount of medical supplies. I went online and priced all the exact items at 5-7 different stores and found that the total cost of the items was $19.11. Boy, that was a huge difference, not just a few dollars! I contacted the owner and she informed me that since they had to open the boxes to sell the individual bandages and that no one else in Grants Pass sold these bandages that was why they were so expensive, and then she hung up on me.
I suggest you be careful when shopping at Grants Pass Pharmacy if money, or customer service is an issue. A $20 medical package sold for $35.00 is way overpriced. I have never felt cheated doing business with anyone before this, but I have to say this felt a little dishonest and a local small town business that I went out of my way to support!
