Everything went wrong! placed an order on the 2nd of December- due to arrive on the 5th! no contact at all so I went to the shop to ask what's going on- this was on the 12th of December! I was told in the shop that there was a problem with the warehouse-and told in the shop "its not their problem so I need To sort it out for myself" the following week coming contacted boots on twitter- on Facebook no reply at all. only automated comments asking for dms! by this stage it's the 20th I still have no order I paid for on the 2nd of December! nobody answered any of my private messages at all! phone them was on hold 20 minutes every time! I was about To hang up the 3rd time I phoned at 23 minutes on hold and finally miracle happened- someone answered! got my refund...no presents for christmas thought. boots it's still commenting on Facebook about sending dms....i have sent about 33...to be ignored. terrible service- I won't use it again

Ordered perfume for my daughter for Xmas to be delivered to our nearest store. Went to collect after receiving email to find it was not there. Customer service had to reorder. This happened 4 tines! It never turned up and was too late for me to get it elsewhere. My daughter went without her Xmas present! To add insult to injury I had to fight to get a refund. I had to go through PayPal to get it in the end. Awful company! Stay clear.

The worst possible Service!!!! Ordered Aftershave on the 12th December for collection in my local store on the 19th, it never arrived and the store couldn't give me an update as to when it would arrive, after repeated attempts I managed to contact Customer services (a contradiction in terms) offered a refund but not an apology! To make things worse, it cost me £18.00 in phone charges to get a refund. Looking at other reviews, I'm not alone.

Ordered perfume for my wife’s Xmas on the 20th of December in store due to the shop having no stock .was promised next day delivery . Went to the shop to collect on the 22nd , no perfume , no explanation, even worse no refund (because it’s a live order ) Absolute joke of a company , taking money under faulse pretences. This is now the 27th dec , still no further forward and still no perfume . Stay well clear !!

Ordered a few perfumes online (one being an expensive Chanel fragrance 100ml) and all the boxes were squashed. Phoned customer services to complain and was just told to go into a Boots store to receive a refund or replacement, or to go onto the website to return. Not happy. Will buy perfumes from Allbeauty.com in future as they secure their items in cardboard boxes and the delivery is superfast. Bye Boots!

Canterbury...wanted a Babyliss curling wand priced £21 and Remington shine therapy straighteners priced at £34.99...at counter the straighteners were 39.99 ..I queried it and a rather cross Julia said she was only a till assistant and went off to ask ..then I was informed it was in wrong place ...it was clearly labelled ..but I felt too uncomfortable to show her the shelf ..I only bought curling wand and when I later checked receipt I had been charged £23 on my gift card and no points put on my advantage card !!! Really annoyed..Hope Julia is only a Christmas temp ...I was only visiting Canterbury. .will use Kidderminster from now on !!

Parcel got lost in the post, phoned up and they said I couldn’t get a refund because one of the items was “free” as it was 3 for 2. Very disappointing therefore won’t be shopping there again :(

One online order went missing and when I contacted customer services they asked me what courier was used to send the items to my local Boots. How I am expected to know? Are their operators mindless or what? Also do not bother check store available online as it is always wrong. Twice I have travelled to store that are meant to have stock and they don’t. Waste of time and petrol money.

Ordered some perfume on line on 16/12/18 for a Christmas present. Delivery due 18/12/18. Had not heard by 20th that the delivery had been despatched so after spending 40 mins on phone with no answer I e-mailed Customer service. Tried phoning again next day but after 50 mins gave up and phoned the store the item was due to be delivered too. Item had not arrived and they did not have any in stock. Item refunded. Rubbish service will not use again..

I have just left the boots on 174-180 Clapham High Street (1666). I just want you to know how great your Paula was. She managed to gift wrap the most complicated present ever (4 loose little beauty items and 1 slightly bigger) with so much love, passion and patience. She deserves a pay rise and a promotion. Well done Paula and thank you again.

Ordered photo cushion, advised delivery last week, no answer on customer services email, left on hold with premium rate number that eventually cut me off. Just spoke to someone, Boots order number off their site & Boots don’t recognise. Checked my bank account, they’ve taken my payment!!! Now on another number to try for a refund, they just cut me off!!!! DO NOT USE, BETTER TO GO TO A STORE (Not Boots) THEIR ONLINE SERVICE & CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AT BEST USELESS!

Never ever buy at Boots. Returned the product over a month ago, still not received a refund, £200. Customer service doesn't exist, doesn't pick up call, doesn't response to emails. I would select zero star if possible! Shame on you Boots!

Never have written a review in my life but because of the absolute poor service i have received from Boots i just had to! I ordered the Dyson airwap kit online on the 11/12/18 to be collected from my local store for the 15/12/18 the payment was taken from my card and a confirmation email sent to me. I arrived to collect my order on 15/12/18 only to be told that they should have received this on the 13th but they have had a delay being the time of year... which is understanding but still disappointing that i wasn't informed. I waited until the 20th and still no correspondence? so i called Boots to asked if my item had arrived in store yet? but when giving my order number i was told there is no record of this order and was told they would look into it and call be back, after 20mins i was called back to be told the product had gone missing and they have none in stock so they will just have to refund the money, but this will take 5 days! so not only will i not be able to get the product from Boots in time for Christmas i wont even get my money back before Christmas to purchase the product from anywhere else! i was simply told that they are sorry and there is nothing more they can do. Well thank you Boots for ruining my wife Christmas!

Boots failed to deliver my order and the customer service operative Josh was unable to tell me where my order was, all he had/could confirm was my order date 14/12/18. Josh was also unable to offer me any assurances regarding a reorder ie if I reordered my item would this reach its requested destination for me to pick up before Christmas?! They lost my order without apology. Whilst on the phone to Josh I agreed to a reorder but during the call between Josh and myself, Boots ran out of their online stocks so he now couldn't order me a replacement item!! I requested that Josh call the only store in Maidstone that still had the item on their shelves after much persuasion he agreed. So Josh was supposed to be calling the store to reserve the item in King Street boots, the Fremlin Walk store had sold the item off their shelves as Josh had informed me earlier during our call. However Josh chose to leave me literally hanging on the phone while he just refunded me the money back on my card instead of calling the store as we had agreed. The only reason I knew that he had refunded me was an automated refund message to my phone. The whole call took over an hour and 15 minutes of my time and I had to end the call, no one came back on the line. Since then, I have been unable to reach King Street boots via their direct store number having tried to call the multiple times, as I would like to see if they have the item still on their shelves so I can then reserve the item for me to pick up. In a nutshell, Boots Customer service is totally rubbish. All Josh wanted to do was get me off the phone by offering me a refund. I didn't want a refund, I wanted the item I ordered. Their online service has collapsed purely due to Christmas. Imagine that Boots the Chemist is not ready for the increased pressure that Christmas brings. Unacceptable that a huge company is unable to cope with extra customer traffic because of Christmas, basically no contingency plans have been put in place to ensure exceptional customer service at a time of the year when all of us want to give our loved ones a special Christmas to show them we care. I will never order online with Boots again.

Ordered 3 gifts on 9th Nov for collection on 13th (still don't have them on 19th) as I could easily pick up the order from the shop on that day and a few subsequent days. Heard nothing on the 13th so walked over and asked. Nothing there, but told I could call shop to check or after 48 hours call customer services. I was disappointed that I received no email telling me what was happening with my order and that all responsibility to chase it was with me. After several calls and store visits and a 30 min call to customer services (15 mins to pick up and then around 10 mins on hold) my missing item was reordered and I was assured it would be there the next day. I rang and it wasn't and customer services couldn't tell me where it was and when it would be delivered. So now I have another day where I have to call boots again, and if it arrives pay the costs of travelling into cambridge city on a day where I have no other reason to go. I would not recommend using Boots online as although staff are friendly, the system is so poor that no-one knows where the products being delivered are.

Ordered a product that was supposedly in stock, then ordered another item to receive free delivery. Only received other item not no 7 set, when I contacted Boots they stated no 7 gift set out of stock and will receive a refund. Extremely unhappy about this. Now I have to wait up to 7 days to receive a refund for product which was clearly out of stock when they took my money.

Went to the Upton park store and was greeted by Belash! Very confident and friendly had no hesitation in helping me out with my enquiries. Need more staff like him even though it got busy he made time with all customers with the same attitude... Thanks for the professional service.

Click and collect order split into 3 parcels. 2 arrived late and third not at all. Shop refused to allow me to take the two parcels until I had returned to the store the next day and insisted. The third parcel, with the most expensive products in it, never arrived. I was instructed to call Boots myself. After a long wait the agent was helpful but I had to tell her what was missing from the order as it seemed that she couldn't access it on line. Two stars awarded because of her help. So after 3 visits to Boots I eventually got my order.
