Ordered a high value package of items in October which came opened with one item missing,also not one day delivery as I paid for. Despite sending pictures within 10mins of receipt proving damage and reporting missing item they have repeatedly declined my claim. I am £130 out of pocket and they wont listen to me, head office are no help and are rude and incompetent, would it be ok if I went into their store and walked out with an item of the same value without paying of course it wouldnt. I am going to log with trading standards, action for fraud and small claims court. Absolutely disgraceful I will never shop with them again,research online and you will find loads of customers are having the same problem !!!!

So I started my complaints direct with boots in August in numerous ways! Even given a complaints number. No one responded. 2 months later I use Resolver to complain and again 2 months passed and no response. Left review on Trust Pilot and their response was unbelievable - stating I should try all those methods of contact all over again!!!!! Boots you are shameful.

I am both very angry and disappointed at the Boots on-line ordering system. I have twice tried over two days (Friday 28th November and Saturday 29th November) to place an order but my payment was refused on both occasions. I phoned the customer service department to ask why but they had no idea for the reason, only suggesting that I re-enter my address details and that there must be a glitch on your system; on the second occasion I was told the reason might be that I was spending (trying to!) more than usual and that I would now be locked out of my account for 72 hours and to try again then. I wanted to take advantage of the Black Friday offers but by then the expiry date for the offer would have passed and despite you having a record of my attempt to place an order the offers would not be available. On this call I was also informed that my click and collect order would not be ready until Monday 8th December which was too late as some items were for presents to be given on the previous weekend. My husband has now opened his own account with Advantage card and he was now able to order the items on my behalf on Sunday 30th November using two orders. He has already been notified that these are both ready for collection having been told by your helpdesk they would not be available before 8th December. Having placed his order my husband has already received texts to say that the order was ready for collection. What is wrong with your system? In the course of my phone calls I tried to find whether my address for my Advantage card was correct and how to alter my credit card details as you appeared to have an out-of-date card on your system. None of your assistants could help and I could find no way to correct this on your web-site. Please address these issues. To add insult to injury, the two failed orders appeared on my credit card statement as paid even though your system would not allow me to order the goods and your assistants told me that the payments had been declined. An IMMMEDIATE credit is required.

1/5 — Missing Items & No Resolution My order 779944541 arrived missing items worth £153.66, and Boots have refused to refund me. They could not provide any photographic proof of delivery but still rejected my claim. I’ve been left out of pocket with no support from customer service. Very disappointed.

I had cause to use Boots pharmacy today as I needed a dentist prescription made up and I could not find an independent who stocked the medication. I had to wait 15 minutes even though there was no one there and to add to that they charged me. I have recently had this exact same medication prescribed by my dentist and filed at an independent pharmacy and I was not charged. In fact I haven’t paid for a prescription until now for some time, private or otherwise as I am 62. Do not use Boots for private prescriptions if you usually get your NHS ones free.

I visited the Boots branch in the centre of Southampton ( Above Bar) to make a purchase for my granddaughters at the Benefit Cosmetic Counter. I could not find the product I was looking for ( Roller Lash Mascara duo) and asked the assistant with her Benefit badge to help me. Her name was Lauren and she was absolutely brilliant. She found the stock for the roller lash duo , which was not on display. I asked for a price check and she took me personally to the till to do this. I was delighted and want to praise Lauren for her customer service and the fact that my granddaughters were delighted too !!

In terms of product knowledge and customer service, Boots in Paddington Station are useless! I needed an emergency supply of hearing aid batteries, but, when I showed the assistant the existing battery and its packaging, I was told that they didn't know if their own-brand batteies were compatible, and that I should look online, where it would also be cheaper...!

I had a terrible experience trying to link the app with my advantage card. Phoned the Boots central number. The first member of staff was totally useless. I kept having to repeat my card number then he put me back in the queue AGAIN rather than on hold. I felt he was either drunk or on drugs. I've now been told I've lost all my points as I'd not used the card in over a year (a lie). Boots was where I shopped for Xmas gifts. No more. Plus the fragrances are cheaper in the Fragrance Shop - even using the Boots offers! No more. This customer has had enough.

Received an offer via email for instore use, this offer showed a clock counting down as the offer was only available for 1 day. Went into store after work, queued at till where only self service was available. Had a problem with my Advantage Card not being recognised. Staff member informed me offer finished at 6pm and it was now 6.10pm. Unfortunately had no signal on my phone at the time but extremely disappointed to get home and see the offer/clock still showing as available. I have contacted customer services by email and can only assume it is AI as the response was completely irrelevant to my issue. A complete waste of time attending the store in the first place and bothering to email a complaint. Businesses like this do not deserve any customers.

Appalling customer service from Boots concerning a faulty Soap and Glory candle that did not burn as it should and left half the was. I was disgusted the way I was treated, It was suggested by a manager to look how to burn a candle more effectively. Although I sent photos proving the incident, It was not good enough and they have ignored my complaint because I no longer have the product. Generally we have to provide photos of which I did but not good enough. I think ist is disgusting and also disgusting that I am severely sight impaired and sent my emails in large font, Responses did not come back the in same font. This is being typed up for me! Unable to download photos sadly, Not working

Extremely disappointing customer service. Responses slow and unhelpful, In a chain of 10 emails and nowhere near a resolution still. They sent me a tube of toothpaste instead of my order 769357245 and refusing to refund me or send the correct order. Been around 2 weeks. No one should have to chase a reputable company like this to rectify a mistake they have made. It’s Boots loss - I spend thousands of pounds per year there and will now shop elsewhere, as they’ve made it clear if you need an issue rectified there is no resolution. Still have not received a refund or my order.

I find Boots very unhelpful and difficult , especially Salisbury branch, they somehow assumed the role of 'policing' when buying a basic medicine off the shelf. It has become a norm for them to tell me the dosage of Ibuprofen i can take, i guess they see it as a good customer service, but I have to explain myself why i buy two boxes of Ibuprofen or two boxes of Kwells . However, when I really need their help, they had no knowledge and no wish to help in any way. Just as an example, one of the meds my husband had for after cancer treatment had manufacturer issues, and when i asked Boots staff what that means and explain that to me, their answer was they do not know, as if my question was not related to the pharma. I just find Boots staff patronising and unhelpful.

We visited Boots High Wycombe today to buy a hair dryer/styler. Christof was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, caring and pleasant in assisting us to make a choice and purchase. We value excellent customer service and Christof gave it completely. Thankyou.
