Wow such bad customer service. Ordered a electric toothbrush worth £89.99 and never received it. Left outside my front door by royal mail, tracking info clearly shows this was not delivered. If I could give no stars then I would. I'm disgusted, back and forth with useless customer service who think this is acceptable.

Boots pharmacist was listed on data base for Easter Sunday, we attended two boots, one on Stodman street Newark and the other in riverside retail park Nottingham. Both were closed and queues had formed at both. Helplines were closed

Would give zero stars if an option Would give zero stars if an option, my order did not go through but I was charged and 7 calls later and 2 emails I am still awaiting my refund from 15th Feb, awful as they said it is website issue as the reason the order failed, I have been told different information on each call and keep getting told my refund is on its way but all lies, then spoke to a manager who sounded thicker than the lot of them, fuming, con artists. BEWARE!!!

I made an unplanned visit to boots in Chelmer , Chelmsford . I decided to have a look at different foundations and a lovely assistant Sandra , not only spent time with me , but made me feel confident and comfortable. She discussed different types of skin and products. After completing a full face of make up , I was given samples to take home to try . I have shopped in other stores for make up , where you feel pressured into buying products and intimidated by the ‘ plastered on make up’ sales women . Sandra was lovely and I think it’s important to recognise good service and sincere treatment you receive. People are too quick to write a review about bad service , but not good service . I returned to see Sandra today to buy some of them products. Also spoke to another assistant with blonde spiked up hair . Beautiful mature lady ( like mysel)that also had time for me while waiting for Sandra . These assistants need recognition by the management . I will definitely be returning to by additional make up products , that I couldn’t afford all at the same time . Thanks again Mandy

Boots Boots Boots...the new low they strive to sink to is never ending...bought a mascara for my wife which was placed in the wrong location and ended up with the wrong colour. tried to exchange it at the abysmal store in Kingston Park, Newcastle but apparently on the back of the receipt, that is after you buy the product, it says make up is not returnable...how many of us read the back of the reciept after purchase. Called 'customer care' and they are just as useless as the store. absolute and utter disgrace. tried to call the store manager but the store phone number asks you to go to the national 'customer care'...absolute disgrace which proves why we abandon physical stores...and soon Boots

From the start, my experience with BOOT's online service has been incredibly frustrating, arguably the worst I've encountered. The company's choice to utilize the UK Post Office for delivery has significantly detracted from the service quality. Not only have I found their delivery service to be unreliable, but attempting to contact customer service has been a futile endeavor. On the rare occasions when my calls were answered, the line was disconnected before the conversation even started. My attempts to cancel my order because i NEVER RECEIVED IT!! only added to the frustration. I was informed that the refund process would take up to 19 days. Given the substantial cost of my order, this delay is unacceptable, forcing me to wait nearly three weeks before I can consider repurchasing the item elsewhere. For a company that represents a British institution, this level of service is not only disappointing but also embarrassing. I had high hopes for a smooth and efficient online shopping experience but was met with obstacles at every turn. The lack of accessible customer support and the prolonged refund process have left me feeling disregarded as a customer. It is with regret that I find myself compelled to advise others to AVOID shopping online with this organization. I plan to share my experience across various review sites to ensure potential customers are aware of the challenges they may face.

Honestly Boots doesn't even deserve one star! Please avoid making any online orders with Boots especially prestigious items such as perfumes! I had placed an order for a one million perfume along with FCUK gift set and two deaodrants. I received everything apart from the One million perfume! On contacting customer service, they said they will investigate and it will take 5-10 days. I kept on waiting for a refund but at last they refused! They said their investigations show the perfume was packed? However here I the customer did not receive it?! My parcel did not have the perfume in it but Boots did not care. They literally have kept my money to increase their profits. Pathetic company ever! Never will I ever shop again for Boots! Worst company, worst customer service!

If I could leave a 0 star I would. Aolutley horrified at the customer service dept at boots.com, placed and order and recieved yhe wrong items, contacted customer service and was advised to send to the parcel back and my correct order would then be dispaitched, item was delivered to them (I tracked it) contacted them again and was advised to email them and my correct order would be dispatched (I did as requested) so I have been following this up everyday and emailing asking when I should expect to recieve my items, my emails are replied back by a different customer rep every time I get a reply and every email states I need to wait 14 days for my return to be processed then I will recieve a refund. No mention of my original order or the fact they knew my parcel was being returned on 3rd feb and stil took un money for my order in 5th feb, absolutley shocking service.

They have got rid of all manned checkouts in Boots at Burton Upon Trent. All self serve checkouts. Unfortunately I don't agree with this, they are taking jobs away from people. Therefore I left my purchases and walked along to Superdrug who have actual people working on their tills.

I ordered from the Boots website and they sent me the wrong products.When I contacted CS they asked me to send the parcel back. I never heard from them again. After a month of chasing my refund they emailed back and said the parcel didn't have the correct weight and that they won't refund me. Nice way to increase income. If you didn't know it was Boots you would think it's a scam! When I sent a formal complaint I received a standard reply saying: Thank you for your feedback. And that was that. Money gone! I am absolutely furious.

Been a very good customer and have spent a lot of money with Boots over the years and I am now very disappointed with the company. I tried to place an order for just over £60 using the code POINTSBOOST10 but it would not work as another promo was already uploaded onto my account. I couldn’t delete the other reward on my account. I called your customer care team and was transferred to advantage card team who said they couldn’t deal with it and also said they had many people calling today with the same problem so they transferred me back. I was told they couldn’t do anything about it either. Unbelievable. I asked to speak to a Manager but was refused. You have lost a very loyal customer.

BOOTS have issues with their IT and are incapable of rectifying their problems !! I have tried via the customer services department and spoken with numerous staff who all contradict each other. I am now dealing with the executive office via email ONLY ! as they refuse to connect me to the department !! The problem has been going on for 4 weeks now and they are not fit for purpose !

Absolutely shocking customer service. Reading many complaints about the same thing. Ordered two bottles of aftershave just before Christmas only one arrived. Emails back and forth over 4 weeks. They kept saying it’s been delivered and there is nothing we can do, basically drawing a line under it and expecting me to lose £59. I feel cheated and will not be using them to buy goods online again . They obviously have some kind of problems in their dispatch department as items keep going missing without explanation! Avoid at all costs!

Placed an order for a little under £300 worth of goods Was told all bar one item was posted under a particular tracking number Parcel with that number arrived - it had three bottles of shampoo in it and nothing else Used their Virtual Assistant, it told me to wait until the other parcel with the last item arrived, in case the rest of my order was in there Second parcel arrived, it only contained one item Contacted Boots customer care to ask when I could expect the rest of my order Boots customer care advised that they would take up to 21 days to carry out an "investigation" before they decided whether or not to "authorize" giving me either the items I'd paid for, or a refund Now I'm out almost £300, Boots is holding onto my money, and their lack of a timely a d reasonable response means I don't even have the funds to go elsewhere to get what I need Fortunately I did pay by credit card and as it was over £100, I'm covered by Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act I will not be using Boots again, and strongly recommend other customers avoid this untrustworthy, unreliable company

Aggressive sales tactics by beauty counter staff risk undermining this company's growth strategy. Boots are clearly seeking to compete in the health and beauty market, but I experienced such unpleasant treatment in their Milton Keynes store this week that I will not return. I wanted to buy two products that I have bought before but was hounded repeatedly by a sales assistant who simply would not leave me alone. Her aggressive sales tactics were so unpleasant I eventually walked out. Boots risk reputational damage by pursuing this approach - customers are seeking brands that match their values, while providing value for money: they're not seeking to be patronised, told they're wrong or pressured into buying products they don;t want or need.
