TROY, Mich. — The level of trust and reliability pharmacy customers have come to expect from their local pharmacist is increasingly being found instead through mail order pharmacies. According to the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Pharmacy Study, released Tuesday, overall satisfaction with mail order pharmacies is rising steadily, with a 6-point increase (on a 1,000-point scale) in overall customer satisfaction this year. Meanwhile, chain drug stores have seen their overall satisfaction scores slide far below the brick-and-mortar category average, with long wait times, lower levels of customer trust in pharmacists and difficulty in ordering prescriptions emerging as problem areas for the segment.
