Been trying to get a repeated private prescription filled. It’s for 3 bottles of eye drops. They keep trying to give me one bottle. They even ask me to show them where it says three. It says quantity 3. They say that’s not clear. The bottles are 5 ml so even if it was quantity 3 ml - which it isn’t - they’d need to open and pour off 2 ml to give me 3. So stupid and another day wasted. I know they are busy but why does that make them so pig headed and stupid. I’ll order on line with another chemist next time. They really don’t deserve the business they get.

Just visited my local boots 'Prudhoe' Text message service for scripts does not work, they blame gp or even the phone company for this.When you do get scripts they are either wrong or have things missing. Had issues with this for over a year now.. Staff just say sorry everytime and assure me they will fix it.This branch needs a good shake up before it starts losing customers. VERY DISSATISFIED

I was disgusted firstly to find that you are no longer offering the flu jabs in the Redhill branches this morning and secondly learned that you are closing the Station Road branch in Redhill early in 2020. There is certainly no lack of demand for the services there so it doesn't make sense and is a massive inconvenience to customers. Things have gone downhill ever since this company was taken over by an American firm.

Pharmacy really slow phoned pod over a week ago and still had to wait 40 minutes to be seen and another 30 for prescription to be ready. Then only 2 of the 5 photo kiosks were working. Appalling service from Green bridge Branch. SWINDON.

Just made my third visit to collect my online prescription at Boots Redhill. It has taken a week to process my prescription, and a further 20 minute wait to get served at the dispensary and there was only one person in the queue ahead of me. Unfortunately there are no other chemists in the town centre. The company needs to smarten its act up pretty quickly and treat customers with respect.

Awful service - ordered for items on the 8th Oct and pre selected a date for collection on 14th Oct which worked logistically stupidly thinking that almost a week is sufficient time to collect the items from the local store which gets deliveries daily . Nothing turned up and was told then that Boots have 48 hours grace period from the delivery date not the order date to fulfil the order. Boots used to be brand that I could rely on - sadly no longer the case.

I had a bad experience today with the customer service. I was looking for a minor ailment consultation and asking about if am entitled for a free prescriptions at the Boots Pharmacy in New Kirkgate Leith Edinburgh Shopping Centre, instead of just giving me a quick explanation for me to understand, the guy face looked irritated, annoyed and impatient and the other older man said they cannot help me today which made me feel embarrassed. I will never come to any boots shops or pharmacy again and talked about my experience to family and friends. I felt discriminated.

Ordered my parcel to be delivered on 11th Oct , received at text to say it would be delivered that day and that a further text would be sent with a time slot. I didn't not hear another thing from them until this morning when I did get a text saying that it would now be Monday 14th before I would receive the parcel. NOT GOOD ENOUGH BOOTS!! I waited in the whole day which was wasted . You could have sent a text yesterday regarding the delay but didn'tand subsequently wasted my time . Furthermore after paying a postage fee relating to a definite delivery date you have failed literally to deliver and I will be looking for a repayment at least of my postage fees.

I purchased a Boots No.7 precise eyeliner which did not work properly. I took it to my local Boots to exchange but was met by an aggressive, rude manager. I contacted Boots Customer Service to complain about my experience and was promised a response from the area manager. A week elapsed and I heard nothing. I called again, same promise same result. I called a third time and once again same promise same result. My disappointing treatment has really surprised me. I shop at Boots because I believe them to be a quality company but if this is the way they treat their customers I can see them disappearing off the High Street like the rest. I finally decided to go to the Lakeside store and the Manager there listened and helped. Thank you Lakeside you have gone some way to restore my faith in Boots.

I placed an order on their website, needed for a Special Birthday, intended to collect today, only to be told it wasn't available, never processed. It took me to chase them, a week had passed, and they didn't even bother to tell me the goods weren't available. The quality has gone from this company.

I was offered a service from boots pharmacy offering to get my prescription from the doctors & they would text when ready since Christmas I have had 2 texts went in there yesterday 5th October as I should have had a text about the 29th/30th so asked for my prescription it was not ready only to be told they did not have my eye drops as they could not get them they had not contacted me or my doctor so by now I have not had eyedrops for 8 days. They know that eyedrops only last for 28day last for 28 days so the blood pressure in my eyes will go up which causes a lot of dammage

I booked online for a flu jab at my nearest boots pharmacy. The flu vaccination was in 2 days, during that time i recieved text messages and emails from boots to remind me of my forth coming appointment. (not a problem). I arrived for my flu jab, only to be told the pharmacist was not fully trained, so i would have to re arrange to have it done!. If boots can text and email a number of times to remind me of the appointment, why couldnt they give me a quick text to say they would have to cancel and re arrange.(would have saved me 1 hour walk there and back)! Now i am receiving texts and emails to say i missed my appointment!! Bad customer service.

Been told today I had already picked up my prescription last week and it was that lady who served me, told her she was wrong it was the other lady not her and I was told to come back after the 27th which I did. Then the prescription was never issued & I needed to ring my doctor. after afew arguments I came home and screenshotted when it was issued and returned to argue my point, Amazingly they found it, lost in the system they said so I asked who was going to apologies first for telling me I had already collected it & telling me I was wrong, then they denied saying what they had said, in the end she did Apologies but little to late. What has happened to this store never had issues before, they seem to mess everyone meds up. I am not the only one who has had issues, I even moved my sons due to there incompetence of doing there job. Not good enough when you have to prove you are telling the truth.. Branch I am refurring to is in Goole. All need sacking

Boots in Didcot Orchard Centre is grossly understaffed or badly managed. The Pharmacy is ridiculous and customers can be waiting for 15 to 20 minutes before being acknowledged for any sort of service. Even then the staff are very surly probably due to the pressure of work but don't get me wrong they don't overwork themselves it would seem!!

ALWAYS under staffed , in whichever branch i visit . Even purchasing non prescription items , usually requires a long wait for staff in the back working on prescriptions . Always bad experience , generally more expensive than indies too - useless

Flu appointment supposed to be at 10.20. still here in a queue at 10.46 (no chair to sit on available as the ones there are taken). No idea when I'll be seen.

Went into boots this morning at the clinique desk, the assistant had no intention to serve me, first she told me the product was discontinued at that point I reassured her it wasn't only then to tell me there was non in stock, she had no idea what products were available nor did she want to get off her back side to serve me ...

Ordered for the first (and the last!) time using Boots Online Prescription Service. Wrote a complaint letter dated 11th July (and various emails before that) and still no response! Will never use this service again, reasons being:- They posted a controlled drug in the post, part of my order delivered to the wrong address, then the other part of the prescription disappeared and according to them I never ordered them in the first place even though I had received part of it, I had to track it down myself, no knowledge how to use their computers, misleading information on their website regarding their app and online service and when I sent them a second complaint letter chasing the first and they called me (silly me to think it was them apologising) they asked where I would like my prescription delivered to!!!?? I replied prescription, what prescription!? I haven't used you for months! DREADFUL DREADFUL DREADFUL, keep well clear of them.

Highly disappointing. Everything! Terrible service, waiting time forever( even if usually there are a lot of people behind the counter) , if you have a problem you need to come thousands of times in store to solve it and everytime you need to explain again ... Staff not trained, web site not working. I have try just now to book an eye test. Page not working!!! Never again
