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 !!

Boots dip & twist nail remover is an utter waste of money doesn't even remove polish let alone the nail.

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.

Abysmal website that would have been modern in the early 2000s. Declined my purchases without giving any reason and emptied my basket so I had to start again to attempt again. Failed again AND charged my card despite the email they sent stating the card wasn’t charged.

I purchased two bottles of perfume through Quidco worth £117 for Christmas presents with around £8 cash back, boots refused the cash back in the middle of January, they lied and said the item were sent back or ammended, don't trust boots through Quidco you won't get the percentage of crash back at all.

Customer Service at boots.com doesn't exist. After 6 weeks of trying I haven't managed to get a response on the phone, via email or Twitter. They were very happy to take my money though, but I'll shop elsewhere in future.

Boots Antigen test told me I was positive so, as I had no symptoms, I did a lateral flow at home which was negative followed by a second test with another company which confirmed that I was negative. Having contacted them, the incompetent fools are not interested.

Refuse to refund me even though its impossible for me to pick up the product. I have asked for a complaint to be raised on 31st December on messenger and subsequently asked 9 times for the reference number of the complaint and I am still waiting. I can see they have read the message but they refuse to refund me or raise the complaint. Disgusting Customer Service!!

Hello, I do not normally complain however, it was just not necessary to make a customer look like an idiot. Royal Tunbridge Wells Boots Pharmacy counter. I was served by Jackie today 10 Jan 2022 at 10:39. She was unnecessarily loud when talking to me which made her sound aggressive, insensitive, impertinent and she had plan bad manners but worse still, asked the wrong question which, I felt was to make her sound good. She loudly asked, "Who is this for?" to which I replied, my partner. She retorted loudly, "So it's for an adult!" When she could have asked instead, "Is this for an adult or for a child?" Even the staff next to her, looked up. Ouch!

Dreadful service Every time we call St Helens Ravenhead Pharmacy no one ever picks the phone up. I tried over 1 week every day and no one picks phone up. Dreadful Will be looking for an alternative Pharmacy. Bunch of total incompetent staff

I placed an order on 6th December. I realise that its a difficult time for companies so try to remain composed when all of the order apart from the £118 perfume arrives. As i had an email saying items may come seperately I wait patiently. In the end i called to find out it was never coming. I was offered a refund as four days before Christmas isn't long enough to resend. I take the refund and have to make the hour long trip to purchase a bottle from the shop. The refund never arrives. I call again only to find out they cannot refund with out filling in a declaration form which the last guy never even mentioned! Now my £118 has been with boots for over a month and I wont get it back for another 3 weeks? what a complete joke. Won't be ordering off them again. I will go elsewhere. I know companies make mistakes but this is ridiculous. Patience has worn out.
