To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Myself and my partner are expecting our first baby and we had our hearts set on the joie signature finiti pushchair. After researching for weeks we were ready to purchase from our local baby store but my sister informed me that boots had a sale on and the pushchair was €130 cheaper on their website. Obviously we jumped at this opportunity and we paid for the pushchair in full. My partner received an email stating that our order had been processed and it was on its way to the warehouse. Two days later, on a Saturday morning he received another email stating that our order had been cancelled. I was disgusted and confused as the full payment had been withdrawn from him account so why was our order cancelled 🤔!!! I contacted them and eventually I got a reply saying there had been a technical issue at the time of purchase and that was why our order had been cancelled and that we would receive our money in 8 working days. Naturally I found it a bit unbelievable that we received an email to say the pushchair had been sent to the warehouse and now all of a sudden there was "technical issue". The funniest thing about all of this is they actually wrote " feel free to reorder from us". What a joke!!! The service was appalling and they took what should be an exciting experience and ruined it for us. See how quick they were to take our money but not provide us with what we bought. I wrote a response to their email and still haven't heard back from them. What sort of customer service is that? what I wanted was them to replace my order at the price I was getting in the first place,not place it again for €100 more. This screams scam to me!! Anyways, for anyone thinking about placing an order with boots be very careful and prepare yourself for disappointment and terrible aftercare.

Worst online experience ever The app and website are so disconnected. Website knows I have an advantage card but app does not. What is the point of having the app?? The website is also extremely slow and buggy. Just cannot believe a company with such bad online representation these days.

I regularly buy from Boots online but I am dismayed at the recent customer service. Three of the items I wanted to purchase were out of stock but the fourth one was available. I proceeded to order this only to be informed at checkout that Boots had cancelled my order. I tried several times to re-order but this happened each time. I'm totally frustrated and feel badly let down. A further complaint, why oh why do Boots change their much loved products for inferior versions. The No 7 Airbrush Away Pressed Powder Medium is now a harsh Orange. It's dreadful and these inferior changes happen far to often at Boots.

The horror of Boots.com. My mother, 77 years old, accidentally pressed delivery instead of collection - so was charged £3.75 for delivery. She saw order email details, realised mistake, called Boots immediately (within 5 minutes) was TOLD best thing to do was to NOT accept delivery and then she would be refunded in full. LIARS! Boots are REFUSING to refund the £3.75 delivery charge!!!! HORRID disgraceful company. The delivery cost to them would have been less than £3.75....so they lied to my mother & profited a couple of quid. SHAME ON YOU! YOU ARE DISGUSTING! This is illegal - in the UK have 7 day right to cancel a contract & receive a full refund. CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR. Named and shamed. Order Number 472799692. SHAME ON BOOTS.COM

I was in Boots Westfield Stratford today. I was looking at some product and trying to choose some stuff. When a member of staff came up and shouted at me said I was chucking stuff. Which was not the case. I told him to leave me alone and he went and get the security for no reason. I asked him if the security was for me. He said no. But had his security friend stood there to intimidate me. Not sure if he is under paid, unhappy or hates his job. I left and did not purchased anything. Please train your staff on how to speak and treat customers.

Boots on chadderton precinct Second time my prescription as not been ready 1st time they was not expecting my item in for two weeks so I had to order alternative which took a couple of days to arrive. 2nd time I was told the doctor has not sent it over , I rang the doctor while I was there and was informed of time and date it was sent , they then found it but it was the wrong medication, i was then told it will be in the next day , rang up the next day and its still not there , so have to wait till Tomorrow, I won't hold my breath though This pharmacy used to be very efficient, not sure what has happened the 6 months but it has gone downhill , I will be changing my registered chemist after this

I ordered and paid for a gift online for my friends birthday. I paid for next day delivery however it did not arrive till day after. I contacted Boots to reimburse the charge. However they refuse to deal with me because I got the parcel delivered direct to my friend saying I am not named! They sent the confirmation of order to my email and my details are on the billing address so I find this ridiculous that they expect my friend to deal with my complaint To top it I tried to call the complants lune and was put in hold. After about 20 mins I hung up but because it is an 0844 number it is not included in mobile package so I was charged £4.71 extra

Ordered stuff to collect in store next day, didn't get any messages or anything so checked with ship, they said nothing had arrived for me. Checked the next day.. nothing, tried tracking, not working, tried various means of communicating over this past week, using the virtual assistant, email, 3 different phone numbers. And did not get one response. Finally got through to someone today and just asked for a refund. Which I have to wait for another 5 days for. Its a joke. They can't even tell me what happened or why nobody deemed it necessary to respond to me over the last week. Absolutely will not use again. Zero customer service and they don't care about it either

Absolutely shocking customer service. Promised by telephone a full refund of covid tests back in Dec 2021 which they sent out after the rules changed. I have provided everything requested and have never received a response. Have chased numerous times. I shall never buy anything from them again.

Tried to purchase an item for tomorrow for a birthday gift, took my £300 but claims there was a Technical Fault so my order never went through. I Rang Support and was told it's a pre-authorization charge and i should get the money back in 8 working days, if not I have to contact my bank. Was told to re-try, so I did, and my order was automatically canceled for apparently playing too many orders and i failed some checks? Looked online and other people have had a similar issue. Rung Support again and was told i need to wait 2 days before attempting to re-order, 2 whole days - and apparently, support cannot do anything? Its completely bizarre to me, whoever is in charge of online needs a serious rework. So now I'm left with no item, down £300, and nothing i can really do.. Disappointing experience. Edit: Managed to get the item through a few days later, used all of my details minus the name on the parcel (I used my dads name as its a Birthday present for him and a surprise) - their order system did not apply the correct delivery so tried to reach out and they refuse to help me despite the email/phone number that i am reaching out to them is the exact same on the order. Absolutely useless Support, tried back and forth emailing them without luck so will just have to sort it with my bank as a chargeback. Absolutely disappointing. Its worth nothing they still have the initial £280 from the invalid first transaction that has still not been returned to me.

I relied on receiving Advantage points to bring the price of a high-value product down to a competitive level. Unfortunately, these were slashed from nearly £15 to just under £4 when my item was dispatched without any advice as to why. Customer service was so slow to respond that I didn't know they would refuse to fix the error in time to return the items within 14-days. It's rare that Boots are competitive without Advantage point bonuses, but now it seems even those can't be trusted.

Ordered perfume on 15th Dec, emailed about it being stolen by delivery driver on 19th Dec (empty box delivered), no response, emailed again on 26th Dec, no response, finally got through to customer care over the phone 11th Jan, sent me a form to request a refund that takes 21 days to process!?! (what a weird process, but whatever) - STILL Nothing back 24 days later on 4th Feb, Got through to customer care today and basically said they'd log it as "urgent" as it's been over 21 days. I say this calmly, I'm not sure why i'd risk buying anything from Boots again - or my family (as this was a Christmas present and has affected them also)

Been trying to buy 6 Chanel products including foundation from Boots, either online or in store . The product is showing online but not allowing me to pick a shade for the foundation. Tried calling both store and customer service to find out if a local store stocked Chanel , no- one picked up was available to help. I have now taken my business elsewhere and find the service appalling. The virtual assistant is useless in these sorts of enquiries, so how does someone find out how to spend money with Boots . Impossible

BOOTS 48 hr PCR TEST NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE !!!! If you plan on flying anywhere do not use this service, our family took 3 tests at the same time, 1 came back after 25 hrs, the other 2 came back 5 minutes before the 48 hr guaranteed time making it useless as a Fit To Fly or Traveller PCR Test as advertised ! We had to take 2 rapid PCR tests at Manchester Airport with a guaranteed result in 3 hours, these tests were actually cheaper than the Boots tests !!

The Boots app is terrible, really slow and jumpy and when you wish to pay thru the boots app with your advantage card points it asks you for the last 3 digits of it. Its on the first page obviously and drops you out!!! If you are booking through the boots app with your card attached surely the technology links it, it already told me what points i had but then wanted 3 digits. That's fine if the tech guys can sort without dropping out when you hit the home page for your card number.

I would like to share some feedback about an unsatisfactory product. I have been a regular customer of Boots for years and have been using No7 Beautifully Matte foundation (all day velvet matte, oil free) medium-full coverage. Recently the formula has been changed and the product is totally different, nothing like it was previously, I am extremely disappointed as I have used nothing but this foundation for 5- 6 years. I have some acne scarring and pigmentation which I am very self-conscious about and the Beautifully matte foundation covered it very well. The new (not improved) version doesn't cover up my imperfections at all and it has left me feeling very self conscious. I have tried various other products and nothing is as good as the original Beautifully matte foundation. Sadly a excellent product has been ruined! I honestly did not expect to be disappointed by a boots No7 product, but this is unbelievable. I do hope this product can be rectified and we can have the original product back. Regards, Stacey.
