Emailed to say two items were missing from my order, no reply apart from the computer generated one. Emailed again same thing. Tried to ask virtual chat and was told couldn’t help me and gave me a phone number to ring. Rung this number four times and was left listening to horrendous music each time for fifteen minutes. I have ordered several hundred pounds of things in the past from Boots will not do so again. After sales customer service is dreadful as you cannot speak to anyone or get a reply by email.

They clearly have technical issues with online ordering. I have given up on them now. Can get their No 7 stuff cheaper from Amazon!

I booked up a Flu vaccination at a Boots Coventry Chemist on-line where I submitted my details that I was over 65 and so eligible for a free NHS vaccination. My appointment was for 15:50. I arrived at Boots at 15:35 and was asked at the Prescription counter if I had completed a questionnaire for the Flu jab. I said that I hadn't been prompted for this when I made my on-line booking, so I was asked to complete one on-line on my mobile phone and send it, which I did. I noticed a large queue for the prescription desk was forming. This was because there was only Pharmacist on duty and she was expected to manage both the prescription service and administer the Flu vaccinations. It was 16:15 when I was asked by the Pharmacist to accompany her for the jab. She asked me details about myself and if I was eligible for an NHS vaccination. I said that she should already have all this information on the Boots system since I had completed the questionnaire. She said that she was told I hadn't been able to complete this but then found the information. The Pharmacist did not have Flu injection with her so she then had to return to the Prescription area to collect it. I was wearing a PPE mask to guard against Covid because I am classified as a vulnerable person. Unfortunately, the Pharmacist wasn't. When I came out of the cubicle there was an even larger queue and a number of people waiting for vaccinations. Boots are getting paid for this Flu rollout and expect a shortage of staff to fit this in to an already busy prescription service. Shame on you Boots.

First impression of Basingstoke Boots - appalling ! Half the ceiling tiles off, untidy shelves, no signage for Vaccinations. Upstairs, large area in disarray and deserted, except for queue for Flu jab. Inadequate seating, not enough staff altho 2 that were there were pleasant and doing their best. On leaving, helped a lady push a wheel chair through heavy manual double doors. Probably a decade since I last visited and won’t ever go again. Such a contrast to all other Vaccination Centres visited.

Horrible customer service, they didn’t deliver my parcel, I informed them of this and was told they couldn’t do anything about it, I was obviously fuming as they are the ones who posted this to me. I had to call Royal Mail to explain the situation, turns out the we’re indeed wrong, and that boots was supposed to open a dispute, which I was told they couldn’t do…..*rolling my eyes* until I did my own investigation. So disappointed with them, I always thought highly of boots!

I ordered three items online, one of them being a Fenty contour brush. When my delivery came it was not the correct item.. there was also no return slip. I then called customer service explaining the situation & was told I need to return the item by post with the returns slip to which I told her there was not one. She then said to go to my local boots (which is half hour away) & explain what’s happened to try and get a refund. I would then have to order the item again as well as pay for delivery again. When I asked if the item I wanted could just be ordered now so I receive in time for my holiday I was told that the only way to get the item I paid for was to return the item I didn’t even want. Frustrating as it’s boots mistake that I’m now going to be out of pocket for in terms of delivery & petrol to return the item!! Most definitely won’t be ordering from them again.

I am very disappointed after placing an order online. My item will not be delivered within the time frame and now waiting a further two days. Will advise not to place order online.

I am now unable to order anything online due to 'failing internal validation checks'. Because of health issues this puts me in a difficult situation.

Extremely disappointed, that the store is open until 8.00pm at the forte shopping centre, yet the pharmacy is closed at 6.00pm. Checked the time of opening which states on boots webpage 8.00pm. Had an urgent medicine to pick up, then was told due to covid that's why the pharmacy is closed. STOP, STOP using covid as an excuse. It is getting boring now! If it covid what about rest of the staff. Oh, boots, just to let you know that Asda pharmacist are better protected than you, as they are open until 10.00pm. Total waste of time and journey.

Absolutely the worst APP I’ve ever had the misfortune of using. Ended up not buying the items. Slow, inaccurate and nothing on its search works properly. Wasted hours of my time as I tried it 3 times! They also falsely advertised that if you download the App which I did and painfully entered all my information to create an account (had to) it said you get 10% off. In the end at checkout it didn’t give the 10% off. Such a scam. I even bought more than I needed due to their 3 for 2 but didn’t give me the 10% extra of downloading the App. Will never shop there again. Plus, it clearly says order before noon to receive the items on the same day, I waited til 1 am to order so I’d get the items same day, but the option wasn’t available and it said 1-2 days. Constant false advertising. Very disappointed with this type of companies! I need the XL brush for Friday. If you have any sense of customer service, deliver it on Friday.

Boots, Leigh (Lancs). Staff member more interested in talking to her family members than serving me. Ignorant & poor. Unlikely to go again.

I spoke with pharmacy Northgate Newark yesterday about an urgent prescription after being at A&E. They promised delivery today. Not arrived. Proven by CCTV. I have called all numbers in and no reply. Why provide such an important service if your unable to provide. Lives can be put at risk. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

I ordered some perfume for my daughter’s birthday two weeks in advance. I chose for it to be delivered to store for convenience as I work long hours. My order didn’t arrive. I could see it had been dispatched but not delivered. I called the number given to me by the lovely woman in store and was greeted by a man who passed me onto someone else who told me my order had been ‘lost’. Neither of them apologised. She reordered my product to be delivered to store on the Friday, just in time for my daughter’s birthday on the Saturday. Again the same story - the product had been dispatched but ‘misplaced’ when I rang! How is it that two bottles of perfume go ‘missing’ ? The woman on the phone was very apologetic but wanted me to go to the hassle of waiting for a refund (3/5 days) that then I had to reorder! Disappointing service as I’m now having the hassle of finding my daughter another present which is also late. Not good enough Boots

Appalling arrogant customer service by the staff assigned at the cosmetics and perfume section at Boots Queensway London W2 6LS. I picked up my online order from the shop and discovered that there is one item missing and told it to the staff at the till. Then we went to this "senior acting arrogant staff" who asked the other staff from the till if she saw me opening the pack, if she was sure I opened it in the shop... it wasn't even 5 mins that she handed it to me... this arrogant staff made me feel like I'm not telling the truth... "no sorry for the missing item... just making sure that I'm telling the truth"....the missing item is a pack of baby cotton wool pads and luckily I got a very small bag... disgusting customer service!!!
