Failing of contractual requirements by not delivering my parcel to my building My daughter placed an order for two electric toothbrushes, a hairdryer and shampoo ( 192 pounds!) for the delivery date of the 19th September 2023. I was staying with her then, and waited the whole day for the delivery. It did not arrive and has never come. We phoned Boots that evening and were told we had to wait 24 hours before reporting it. We phoned (20th) the next day and were told it had been delivered. It had not. I had also been in the day of the 20th as we were expecting various deliveries, and I kept checking if we had received any deliveries. We emailed and phoned again and were told we had to wait 72 hours before an investigation could be logged. The Royal Mail had a photo on their system showing delivery. It was a photo of a building area not anywhere in our building. We sent an email including their "proof of delivery" photo and photos of our building showing how it could not possibly be our building, so it could not be used as proof of delivery, instead, it was proof that it had been incorrectly delivered. After numerous emails and telephone calls, We were informed on the 7th of October that the Royal Mail had investigated and concluded that the parcel had been delivered. Boots's contractual requirements had been met, and we would not receive a refund. I am distraught and disappointed. The fact that the Royal Mail photo was not of our building, there was no option to have a signed delivery for a high-value item, and it is Boots who has a contract with Royal Mail for delivery, not us; how could they conclude that their contractual obligations had been met. This is a large sum of money to lose as Boots, who has a contract with Royal Mail for deliveries as their carrier, are failing in their "contractual requirements in relation to this order" as Royal Mail did not deliver the parcel to the correct building which resulted in us not receiving our parcel at all. We should not bear the consequences of their mistake. Boots suggested we "contact your local authorities if you believe the parcel has been stolen from your property". We cannot do this as the authorities would conclude that the parcel was never delivered to our building based on the photograph provided by Royal Mail and an examination of our building. It would be evident to any observer that they were not in the same building. Date of experience: 19 September to October 07, 2023

Bought Polytar shampoo June 2022 for £6.20. Looked today and they have increased to over £9 - over 50% inflation. Pathetic rip off. Bought for £6.10 from one of several other options.

No product, no refund policy Boots Online GP - avoid avoid avoid Boots Online GP - AVOID Order a blood test, send it off in good time as instructed. Wait over 10 days, no response. have to chase and get told they held the blood too long for it to be tested on. No refund policy. Down 45 pound for their inability to process a blood test. Avoid avoid avoid. So sad Boots over the years had a good public image... Not now for me, will intentionally never buy from them for the rest of my days. Good job Boots.

My fiancée orders a baby cot on their website. The order was accepted and the delivery time was approximately 5 days. The parcel arrived after 7 days, but it was not a problem for us. The problem turned out to be the parcel delivery person. He arrived around 11 am. My fiancée opened the staircase door and asked to be taken to the first floor of the apartment building because she was pregnant. The delivery guy took a photo on the ground floor and probably took the package out. After 10 minutes, my fiancée went to check where the package was - it was not on the first floor or the ground floor. We contacted Boots and they told us to contact the company where Boots ordered from them. The lady accepted our report and there was silence for 2 weeks while they were investigating. in the meantime, our baby was born and I had to go quickly to buy a next to me coat for our baby. After a few days we contacted Boots again to say that we bought from them and we still don't have the bed. In response, we received information from Boots that they had a photo showing that the parcel was in the building but not at our door, and they informed us that the supplier is not obliged to bring the parcel to the apartment and we should report it to the police. We lost around 180 pounds... Boots zero responsibility... I will never order from them again unless I pick it up in store!

Paid £339 for Dyson hairdryer for my daughters birthday present. Clicked next day delivery. Waited in all day long, did not arrive. No explanation when I called customer service, they were not interested. Turned up eventually opened up and damaged. No packing to protect it. It was in a box too large and hairdryer rolling around in it. No skill, no care. Customer service representative told me to put every thing down in email but still didn't get anywhere. They arranged DPD collection by text on a day that didn't suit me, and expected me to ring their expensive phone number to change it. Staff also hang up on you. They have no skills how to handle complaints, they are rude and couldn't care less. They have lost out on my money I won't forget this. I won't order with them ever again. My Daughter never got it for her birthday

REVIEWS ARE A PATHETIC WAY OF COLLECTING DATA ABOUT YOUR STAFF AND YOU AND OTHERS SHOULD CEASE THIS PROCESS. How DO YOU KNOW A REVUE IS TRUE AND HONEST?

First they lost my address, then they lost the item, then they asked for evidence that I had paid, then they lost my copy bank statement extract .... in short - everything!

I went in for an interview. I had to wait in the store for half an hour after the initial time for the manager. Bearing in mind I was there 15 minutes before the time so waited 45 minutes. The email stated that there would be the opportunity to have a tour round the shop floor to gain an insight to what a shift would be like. Instead I was asked a couple of questions in an office and sent on my way. When I asked for feedback on why I didn’t get the job I was ignored.

Terrible customer service. Tried to order a high value item which my account kept failing validation. Spoke to numerous people with only one person attempting to help but then once that didn’t work a promise that the customer service team would look into it and sort it out. A terrible reply back from them, apparently a manager, no explanation as to why, basically just a tough luck attitude. Baffles me why they wouldn’t have a system that gave an explanation as they lost £700 worth of business with myself unless they just didn’t want to give me the advantage points. After this experience I think I will just make a point of shopping elsewhere as always considered boots my first point when it came to toiletries etc.

Ordered vitamins for click and and collect on 11/06/23, collect 13/06/23. Went to store and was told wait for email. 15/06/23 called and nothing, no tracking, no response by branch on phone. Money refunded takes 3 to 6 days. Is this how Boots finances itself with other peoples money and not sending out goods.

Boots customer service is an absolute disgrace, and the contempt for their paying customer frankly beggars belief. I ordered a Dyson Airwrap for my daughters birthday at a not insignificant cost of £480. This was supposed to be delivered to store for click and collect on 3rd June. Nothing arrived, when I queried on 5th June I was told tough luck, we can’t do anything until fine business days have elapsed despite the guaranteed delivery date. I wait the five days, then get told that I need to complete a ‘lost’ declaration with the insinuation that I have nicked it! - for a product which is being delivered to store, not my house and which they admit has not been delivered. This will take a FURTHER 21 DAYS to review before I am found ‘not guilty’ and will see a refund or replacement. Once again, message from Boots is tough luck and F you. I can see from various social media platforms that I am by no means alone with this experience. My advice - avoid Boots like the plague, particularly for large value items. They really don’t care.

The worst experience ever. I am living on country side, ordered more than need to get free delivery. Got damaged box, replacement was done only for 1 item where broken glass from coconut oil was, rest 5 items soaking in coconut oil and to get replacement I have to travel to boots to show them. Door mat and concrete all with oil as spend all day on sun. Never ever again
