I has to leave my prescription at anthor chemist, I only come in to town once a week was told they would pass it on to boots.They did not.My doctor told me this was a normal thing they just throw them out.Boots sorted in at the last minute and got it delivered. Thank-you so much to all staff at Macclesfield Pharmacy. Especially the lovely lady with the dark hair who has been with them for years.So good and helpful .

Absolutely appalling use of excessive plastic packaging on vitamin supplements. In a bottle of 180 tablets, they didn’t even fill the bottle half way up. I had to count the tablets to make sure that there hadn’t been an error.

If i could give boots online no stars I would. Honestly this is the worst service I have every received. Having ordered the same medication for months and months with an average of £250 per order, I decided to go elsewhere. I am not one to not give second chances so when my new supplier didn't allow me to collect ( which is preferred as its refrigerated medication), I returned. Only to asked a million questions which i responded to almost immediately, then the order was never processed, I am talking over 5 days. Leaving me without this medication. Its honestly a shambles, online meds are supposed to be an easier way in ordering medications but its anything but, totally useless and not fit for purpose. When challenged Boots simply say its not our problem its boots.com and runs separately, zero ownership taken even though Boots take the money before ordering, beware I wont be going back and will advise everyone in my network to avoid this franchise, Superdrug has always delivered on their promises, its a pity they don't have the medication I am on!

Absolutely disgraceful customer service. Ordered 7 items online. When the package arrived it contained 6 correct items and one incorrect item. I took a photo of the open box with the items and contacted "customer care" to inform them of the error. They told we to return the item and sent me a dead link to a return form. So I tried again and requested another return form. This time the link worked, I sent the item I had received in error back with a note explaining that I was missing one item from the order. 2 weeks later. Nothing. Chased for an update and was told someone would look into it. Another few days passed. Nothing. Chased again to be told the "investigation" into the case was ongoing and could take a further 21 days! Finally on 3/7 (order placed 25/5), I received an email to say my return was "suspicious" and they were not accepting it. No mention of the item I had ordered and whether they would send it or refund the money I had paid them. I questioned why it was "suspicious" and explained the whole saga again, sending photographic evidence of their incompetency, only to receive another email to say their decision is final. I will not be receiving the item I ordered or receive a refund for the £5 I had paid for the item. Apart from being appalling customer service, that's theft and in breach of consumer rights. If I order a product and pay for it, I should receive it. "The customer is always dishonest" in the eyes of Boots. Well, I am no longer a customer. I hope you spend my £5 wisely and the "customer care" sleep well knowing they're essentially stealing money from customers pockets. Please don't buy from Boots. Find an independent retailer, one who actually cares about its customers.

I would like to say big thank you to Faaria and Zarin for helping me to and support because of partial eye sights. Both staff is very professional and helpful.

Very bad customer service. I couldn't believe when I was refused a refund for no reason- the only big company in UK who doesn't do 30 days refunds! After ordering from boots I changed my mind and asked them for refund in the Stratford Westfield Store and they tell me NO 'you should contact customer service'.... There is no chat on the website, no reply to emails... I have never been refused a refund of unopened new products in UK. Avoid at all cost! I will never will shop there again! And I was a really good customer , last two years I spent at least 2 800 pounds there! Never again!

Awful website Permanently crashes and doesn’t upload. Offers aren’t applied at checkout and even took a gift card payment never to be seen again. You could go in store but staff are very unfriendly in my experience. Not great and would not be surprised to see stores closing soon,

Awful service. Placed an order, which should have arrived to Click&Collect one week ago. Called the customer service team, and talked to Maya. They told me the store made a mistake, which will be investigated, taking 21 days. After investigation, the product will be refunded, taking another 3-5 days. Boots made a mistake, and it takes me over a month to get my money back, and won't even get the product delivered. Won't ever recommend Boots to anyone. Stay away from this company! Awful service!

One online order for standard items to click and collect was split into two separate packages. Only one has been delivered to store and collected by me with the app stating the other has been collected (untrue). The store staff have checked their system to confirm not yet received. Unhelpful online response from Customer Services other than to wait another 7 days past original EDD.!! Hopeless system and service and currently £70 adrift with no refund offered. AVOID !!

Certainly! Here is a revised and polished version of your email: I am writing to express my concern about a perfume I purchased today for £109. Upon opening it at home, I noticed that the bottle was leaking and, most importantly, the scent was different from what I expected. I believe the perfume might be counterfeit. I returned to the store to address this issue with the staff, but they refused to exchange the product, citing the absence of a manager. This situation is troubling, and I am concerned that the store might inadvertently be selling counterfeit perfumes.

I was looking for my facial products in Boots Hammersmith and needed some help. Tanjina came up to me and gave me some good advise. She was also knowlegeble of each item and I could find what I wanted thanks to her. I would definitely go back there again. Thanks Tanjina!

Went to Boots in Norwich shopping centre and was just 2 cash tills all the others have to be paid by card! Completely unacceptable as many people use cash! They go to loose lots of customers as not everyone want to pay by card.

Used to work for boots and have been a valued customer for many years, in the past they always prided themselves on providing excellent customer service but I am absolutely disgusted in the awful service we received after having a toothbrush for 5 months and returning it via Royal Mail. (I did not read the small print that collection is not allowed) despite it being an available option when returning, postman collected and upon receiving receipt of this we received no update. After 2 months back and forth on email and phone call they finally refused refund or exchange (or even to return our goods to return it “their way” due to us not sending back in the shop… We have proof that they have received our goods via Royal Mail, not only are they refusing a refund for goods clearly faulty or exchange but they failed to return the goods. Customer service is appalling and a total disgrace, nothing is EVER followed up whether you go by email or telephone and I will never purchase from boots again! They should be ashamed.

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
