Next day delivery order not received 7 days after the order was expected. Unable to speak to anyone or get a refund until 5 working days after expected delivery date. No explanation given as to why the courier had not even received the item just offered a refund. Very poor customer service, call handler was clearly use to this kind complaint.

Total lack of customer care, contacted them several times via email and all you get is a case reference number, nothing is ever done - don't even go there trying to use the telephone!

Clearly I am not alone here reading other reviews . The online service is awful . I have spent nearly 2 hours trying to order 4 items, the website is throwing all my items out of the basket at checkout, the so called CS link will not work to try and contact them. So I waded through their pages , finally found an email which responded as No Response and left me with no options to contact them.Ringing may be a the last attempt but why bother? I will go elsewhere . Their stuff is on offer which is why I wanted it but the stress is too much . I would rather pay more and get a swift sensible website that does what it says with good CS. Boots, you should be disgusted with yourselves.

I have been using Cambridge, CB5, Newmarket Road's pharmacy over a decade, because pharmacy used to be opening in the longer hours, it's flexible to collect the medicines. Recent years , pharmacy's opening hours have significantly reduced... At same time, the quality of the service from worse to horrifying (many helpful staffs have left, few old faces still there, however, most of them are totally the time wssters. Very poor managemen. Long queue, long waiting in medicine-preparation (takes more than a week to prepare,), after received a ready to collect text, still needs waiting 40minutes to a hour in the store for collection, Regularly, missing or misleading on receiving prescriptions from the GP.

Awful service. I ordered some items specifically because there was a free gift with the purchase. My order was supposed to be delivered to my local store, but somehow got lost. I had been waiting for around 3 weeks. I was offered a reorder or a refund. I asked if I would still receive my free gift if I reordered but was told it wasn’t possible. I asked if next time there was a free gift promotion could I be sent one and was told it wasn’t possible. I was offered advantage points, but I don’t or want to use a card. Basically treated with an “oh well” attitude. It’s no wonder they have so many bad reviews. I’ll spend my money elsewhere from now on.

I ordered two items on 5th January for collection at local store on Saturday 7th January. Order didn't arrive so tried to contact Boots customer service. Had same trouble as others have had. Impossible to speak to someone. I kept ringing store to see if it had arrived, but to no avail. I looked on my Boots account on the 11th January only to find it had been delivered to store on 10th, had no message about collection, so just called in next day. Apparently the order had gone to a different store. obviously, based on my recent experience, I would definitely NOT recommend on-line ordering for collection in store. Extremely disappointed.

Our local Ammanford Boots rudely made the queue of customers wait to purchase items due to the only two staff present who were concentrating on the prescriptions...fed up of waiting up to 10 minutes we left without buying and were pleased to purchase the very same items at a discount store nearby at nearly half the price....Thank you Boots and Bye bye

We had our sons 1st optician appointment at the epsom boots store today. On a normal day we would have been at the appointment earlier then normal. But we still called the store to inform them we were around the corner but there is alot of traffic. We had to then wait to get a lift down from the car park in the Ashley center. Got to the boots check in area. Where we were then informed we could not be seen as they have a 10 mins waiting time after which they will not see the patient. I spoke to the customer service agent at the desk who informed us they were already running late so us being there late was an opportunity for them to cancel which they jumped at. This is a very disappointing service provided and I cancelled all my service going forward from this point with them too. They need to fix up and understand that delays can sometimes not be avoided and look after their customers better. I have a sister that works for the company and I have also informed her that I will no longer be spending a penny in any store of theirs. Avoid this store as best as you can. Not a great service provider and defo no respect for their customers.

I placed on on line order with click and collect from store on 20/12 with next day delivery , email extract below from Boots confirmation email Due to the high volume of orders, we're sending out individual items as soon as we can so you can get them quicker. All of your order will still arrive on or before your expected delivery date. Unable to contact boots direct had to go via a complaints company Resolve to date still don’t have the goods / refund or update on complaint, absolutely diabolical service. My advice don’t use their on line shop

I used to buy No 7 face masks, but stopped using them because of the fit. I decided to try again to see if they'd been improved and indeed they had so shall buy them in future. Congratulations to the design team on a job well done!

Placed an on line order with confirmation that delivery would be on or before 21/12/2022 and that I would receive Confirmation of dispatch prior , no notification of despatch. On 23/12/2012, unable to contact boots by phone or chat , on line robot useless , raised a complaint via Resolver which seems to be a complaints handing service. In all worst service ever, if I don’t get a response in the next few days will hand over to my credit card to resolve

I like no 7 products. No issue with them but treated myself to 25 days of Xmas which was said to contain a high price of product compared to what you were paying. That's OK then. What I did find was an awful lot of unnecessary packaging. At a time when we should be trying to look after our planet better. I also found that as the packaging was a lot it made you initially think you were getting more or bigger products.maybe I'm greedy but felt a bit duped as the size of the boxes compared to the product inside.

Boots appear to be in a downward spiral. I predict they will disappear from the high street in 2023. Their customer service is a lesson in inefficiency and ineffectiveness. They are not in control of their business. Their Customer Services Director is completely asleep at the wheel.

Very poor online service, delays, unable to track, no phone support, no emails reply, order lost. All sins in one site, can win the oscar in poor online service and support. The only good is process refund quickly, hopefully will receive money back not same as the order

Terrible service do not order online for delivery or collection. I have been waiting weeks and they are still advertising next day delivery. They have no idea what is happening when you phone or email.
