A potpourri of merchandise and services [Nanaimo BC]…read more This store is like a version of our Target Stores in the US. We walked around inside to pass time until closer to our movie start time at the Galaxy Cinema. Both are located inside the Rutherford Mall. London Drugs has everything from computer and electronics to grocery and beauty products to appliances and cleaning supplies but the pharmacy is the heart of their business. It has an interesting history behind it like how it got its name. The store was named after London, England, the home of Canada's King, George VI. Founded in 1945 it started off as a small drugstore to what they are now. We purchased some snacks to take home later. The shelves are fully stocked. So much snacks to choose from from chips to chocolates and other treats. The cashier employee was nice and friendly. Review #3165

The selection is decent, but the prices leave a lot to be desired. Their sale prices are normal…read moreprices elsewhere, no joke. Customer service has been fine in my experience. It's just the prices aren't really appealing. Many simple items are more expensive than Walmart or Best Buy for example. It's hard to recommend because of that. Shop around before getting something here. I haven't tried their print services lately but in the past they weren't too great, nor were they cheap enough to be worth using again. There isn't much reason to shop here compared to the competitors.

Best buy is definitely not your best buy.

Also had two managers in the middle of the front area who said someone will come, but as I am waiting for someone, no one comes and the managers just look at me and then keep talking to each other, not going to look for someone to help.

I'm done going to the Nanaimo BestBuy.

We at first choose one of those fixed fee computer repair places and yes they transferred the data but could not clone the drive meaning we would have to spend hours reloading all the software. This didn't make sense so we decided to have Charvar take a look due to the time needed to get the PC operating, even Outlook would not work. I can't say enough about how pleased we were when Jim, the owner was able to clone the entire drive. Lesson learned, the lure of a cheaper price would have cost us substantially more in the end. We highly recommend Charvar Networks in Nanaimo and his competent staff, if you operate a business time is money!
