My friend visited the Exeter branch of The Bodyshop and left in tears due to how they were treated by staff and their manager. There was no compassion shown to try and help with my friends autism. Due to the staff interactions my friend became non-verbal. No effort was made to address my friends needs and they were made to feel so uncomfortable that they had to leave in tears. I never normally leave reviews but their conduct has moved me to do so. And want to raise this feedback so that others don't have to go through the same treatment. Bad customer service by any measure, but it is even more important that they should have the training to be able to provide appropriate service to those with conditions such as autism.

Body shop is the worst place I have shopped from. I placed and ordered and it was shipped on time but somehow fedex didnit deliver to my address and the package went back to the sender. I contacted the customer service to ask for a replacement, but they are worst sort of people. Half the time goes in trying to explain the issue to them and the rest of the time they don't really have any proper solution. I am feeling frustrated with this company. Wont ever be buying anything from them.

My experience was horrific . Body shop charged me even for the item which was supposed to be free . Their customer service team made false promises to waive off the charges on the free gift but they didn't do it. They just stopped responding to emails

This fraudulent company sent me several emails telling me of an ongoing online sales. Their products are ridiculously expensive, so buying them on sale looked like a logical thing to do. I took the time to pick out items and pay for them online using my credit card. 3 weeks later, i hear nothing, the products are not delivered and when I call their customer service, I was told there was a system error and my order ($150 worth) could not be processed. If this was true, why didn't anyone reach out to me to give me this information 3 weeks ago when I placed this order? Why was my money not refunded as soon as the system error was identified. Why do i see reviews from several years ago with dissatisfied customers complaining about the exact same thing? If this this company (The Body Shop) really intended to sell those products at the discounted price, they should reprocess my order and have it delivered to me, but alas, their real intention was to use other people's money to do their business by advertising false sales on their website with no intention to deliver. They wait until you call several weeks or months later when you realize your order is not coming and they offer to refund you with no compensation whatsoever. Why is my money not being refunded with interest? If you had borrowed this money from the bank, you would have had to repay with interest. This company steals money from their customers to run their business. This is terribly wrong and a clear case of fraud. I will NEVER order anything from the body shop again, not online, not at any of their store locations because the company is clearly a scam! Stay clear buying anything from them.

Every time I go into the website it doesn't accept my password. I have innumerable passwords written in my password book as I keep having to change. It is one of the most difficult sites to manage. While I love their products and find the staff in their nearest branch super helpful I live in the sticks and the nearest shop is twenty odd miles plus away on a limited bus route.

This for the body body shop at Dulles town centers. I want to give feedback about the cashier her name is faith and she is very faithful person. She helped me find a really nice product that I bought today. I wanted to write this review because I really thought she was a genuine amazing soul thank you so much.

Unable to place an order! The website would not let me enter my payment info and kicked me out to the tell me my payment was “rejected” HOW CAN THE PAYMENT BE REJECTED IF I EVEN DID NOT ENTER IT?!!!! I was told to wait 7 days. Very frustrating and ridiculous.

Their website site says order by 3pm EST (which I did) and you'll receive your package in 3-7 business days. Well my package is going to be late by 5 whole days according to that estimate and they won't even refund me the cost of shipping. It was supposed to be a gift and I had to show up to the party empty handed. When I called customer service they put the blame on me, saying I should have also accounted for an additional 48 hours for processing?? Why wouldn't they just change it to 5-9 business days then? Blatantly misinforming customers. I wouldn't have ordered if I had the REAL information. I've bought from them for a long time but always in person— what bad customer service.

I have had the wrong items delivered. As there was no response to the email for 48 hours I called them. I wasn’t listened to and told they would email a response. This was sent, another 36 hours later saying exactly what I was disagreeing with and asking me to return their items before they will send me mine through a store (all of the ones I used have been closed) or the post office. Big brother tactics. As the parcel is heavy I asked if they could arrange a courier - this fell on deaf ears. I have to sort it myself before I receive my goods that I have paid for and not received. Better to apologise, send me my goods and then ask for theirs to be returned in due course - they have my account details if I don’t! Very poor customer service and after years of using them, despite a hopeless website I don’t think I will be using them in future.

Ordered an item online, did not arrive, shipping was updated to arrive at a later date, still did not arrive, 2 emails into customer support about when i might see the item, no reply, notified customer service in the email I would like a refund of my purchase if they can't give me an expected arrival date, no reply.

I ordered an item in the cyber Monday sale and it went through to the page that confirms your order after paying but I realised today that I never received a confirmation email. I got in touch with them about this and all they could say is they can’t find anything about my order and therefore cannot do anything about it and want me to pay £64 for an item that I got for £20 yesterday. Definitely seems like a scam on there half if not just a horrendous website that doesn’t know how to place an order correctly and awful customer service.
