Will NEVER use BOOTS again! Ordered and paid online for a Dyson Airwrap that was showing as in stock. The order went through and the money was deducted from my bank balance immediately. A large purchase of £399. After 2 emails confirming my order, an email arrived stating my order had been cancelled. I spent more than 30 minutes online only to be told I had “failed verification” processes. Despite that BOOTS took my £399 and helpfully told me they had 2 products in stock but I couldn’t have them as my order had been cancelled - by them... they cannot “refund” me as they don’t have my money. It will be refunded in 5 working days when they don’t claim it. I strongly believe Boots is taking orders (and large sums of money), then prioritising which of their customers can actually have the product they have paid for. All the whilst holding on to everyone’s money with the excuse that “the money being deducted from your bank account is nothing to do with us”. Disgusting. People, I urge you to shop elsewhere. Out of interest - has anyone else had this experience with Boots when trying to purchase the Dyson Airwrap which is in heavy demand??? To add insult to injury I have just received yet another email alert to say Boots have this product in stock. It’s a SCAM! Dyson should block them as suppliers...

Very poor service no staff and poor pharmacist the most unhelpful pharmacist I’ve come across

Banned from store for simply complaining and had untrue statements made about my character to justify. I’m a retired policeman and always dealt with people with dignity

I ordered something online to be delivered in store, as I have done many times before, but paid with points. I didn't get the email advising the items had been delivered. The points had still been deducted. In store, the staff were very helpful and gave me a number to call at Boots.com. That very day, the items were reordered and in my store by the next morning. Mistakes happen, but the Boots team dealt with it very well.

I went into Boots, Hounslow, on Boxing Day, and was served by a very friendly, helpful lady called Sherald. She listened to my query and insisted on talking to the manager to ask if I could have a discount as there had been some confusion on the product I was buying. I said not to worry, as there were people behind me in the queue, but she wouldn't hear of it The manager was in total agreement, and I felt the team of staff couldn't be faulted for their customer care and service. Thank you Boots!

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!
