Absolutely dreadful company, items missing from the order, poor quality packaging. A 50 minute wait to get through to customer service and STILL NO REFUND for the missing items. 100% avoid.

Worst customer care ever, I thought Curry's were bad but Boots win hands down.Never shop with you again .I don't think it bothers the company anyway because they do not reply to reviews.

This company does not deserve even the 1 star! Horrible customer service, virtual assistant is useless, you get no tracking number for your order, you have to wait hours on the phone to speak to a customer adviser who is clueless, as is the staff in their stores! They wont respond to emails. Now blaming royal mail for their own incompetency! And wont refund customers' hard earned money to enable them shop elsewhere, asking people to wait 9 days is ridiculous!.I ordered on the 1st of December and still do not know where my order is. Beware of this company, especially at Christmas!

I never got the order I made. It is a month now, and I have never received a refund or even a new product until now. This company is a joke. I never will buy or not recommend it.

I placed an order online and order was cancelled 18th November I am still awaiting refund . I have called 3 times and been told it can take up to 8 working days , then 10 now 5 days. Each time the days have rolled by and still not received refund . Disgusting and I can't understand how hard its to process a refund .

Today terrible situation happened to me. I went to the boots at Oxford street. I wanted to get set of deodorant Ted baker. It was on sales and only one box left. So I opened it checked and then closed it and was carried. I wanted to get something else before I will go to checkout. Suddenly costumer service woman come down and said. I watched you you stole stuff I know right now show me your bags . I was shocked. She kept telling me that o stole stuff and right now she will check the camera and call to police. I said that it’s me who is going to call to police because because she’s slanders . She was repeatedly. Manager come and ask us to go downstairs to the office. I showed them my bags and left . By the way they never opened the box and checked if deodorants are inside or been stolen’

I wrote a review a week ago and I still have not had any feedback from Boots - I don't think I will ever get my money or goods I have had a shocking experience with an order placed on 14th and being charged for the goods on 15th and still have not received an email of when I will be receiving the goods. I have spoken to customer service on 4 separate occasions and was told that I have to wait as the order is still showing open and get told there is nothing they can do in re-ordering the items until the item shows as despatched, On another occasion I was told to call the despatch company directly. I was then told that it was the back office team that need to sort it and there is only the person I have raised the complaint with that can deal with it, who never contacts me. Very poor service, and at the moment I am over £70.00 out of pocket without the goods that I could have bought directly from the shop, but chose to go for the deals that were being offered on line. I have sent in a complaint email and asked for further details - still not received any feedback from Boots I highly recommend NOT ordering anything from their online website as you may never get the goods and be out of pocket

Ordered glasses at their Ayr branch on Tuesday at 3.30. Called Wednesday morning 9.30 to ask if could cancel as unsure of frame ordered Told by manager ok but have to come in as couldn’t do refund on phone. Told when in no as order had been processed. Can’t believe out of all Boots opticians in UK my order was processed. Strange glasses not ready till 9th December? Manager now saying she didn’t say yes to refund so it’s me whose telling lies.

Went in to my local boots today .Noticed Jack wills on half price and a huge poster offering 3 for 2 above . I thought this was a fab offer and decided to buy 3 items all about £5 each . To my surprise when I went to pay they weren't 3 for 2 . The assistant said as they are half price they don't qualify for 3 for 2 so I said why don't you take the ticket off to which she said the half price offer will Finnish in a couple of day . So I said then that's when you put the ticket back on . Blank face from the assistant. I think this could possibly be illegal.

I have had a shocking experience with an order placed on 14th and being charged for the goods on 15th and still have not received an email of when I will be receiving the goods. I have spoken to customer service on Monday and today and was told that I have to wait as the order is still showing open and get told there is nothing they can do until the item shows as despatched. Very poor service, and at the moment I am over £70.00 out of pocket without the goods that I could have bought directly from the shop, but chose to go for the deals that were being offered on line. Sent in a complaint and received nothing - don't buy off their online website, you may not get the good and be out of pocket

My wife has shopped at boots in the Festival Park Hanley for many years. Recently this store changed from staff operated checkouts to self service scan tech! We tried to use the only checkout with a member of staff on. Asked if we wanted to pay with cash and we said no card. Told to us self service even though there was a card machine there. We had points on the Boots card but she did not know how to scan it on the self service till, so starting to feel embarrassed she decided to give up. No member of staff was available to help so we just decided to not bother and left! Called in at the Tunstall branch, what a difference, the staff could not have been more helpful and even pointed out that for a small amount extra spent she could get a gift pack. So she did and was delighted with the fact that a member of staff actually helped her! So no more wasted visits to the Hanley branch and more spending at their competitors like Superdrug etc. We understand that things move on but they appear to forget that not all customers like the new tech with no support staff available.

Minimum 40 min waiting each time I call before my call gets conected. I have placed an order was meant to receive free The Ultimate Skin Saviours Edit worth 80£ instead I have received 2x Dior 1.5 ml man's perfume samples! I mean this is disgraceful and thank God I was recording while opening box as judging by the size of the box i had a feeling that the something was just not right.

Ordered a Dyson hairdryer from Boots.com 18/11/22 at 11am and later that evening at 9pm I received an email stating the order was cancelled due to no stock. I have checked Boots.com regularly since receiving this email and it is still showing as being available! Not a good service. Tried speaking to customer service and not satisfied with the La k of response or valid reason for my order being cancelled apart from maybe it came back in stock!! What 1 minute after cancelling my order? Does Boots not know their stock levels or delivery dates??

I went to Boots in Peterborough, Queensgate. Asked an assistant if there was a particular brand of cream for nappy rash. She replied 'I don't know' and walked off. Internet here I come
