I attended Boots Pharmacy Marina Way in Hartlepool today Thursday 30th November 2017 at approximately 17:30. I spoke to a young female customer service advisor and advised I had an appointment at 17:45 for a flu jab and obviously I was a bit early. The young girl gave me an odd look and asked the other woman (who I assume to be the pharmacist on shift) if she could provide a flu jab. She said no. The young female asked me how I had booked the appointment. I told her online and she proceeded to tell me (without an apology or any apologetic manner whatsoever) that I should not have done this and I should have called the pharmacy directly to ensure that a pharmacist who could provide such a jab was available. (you would think if a online system provided by boots allowed me to book an appointment at a certain time and date the company would ensure correct staffing - STAFFING ISSUES ARE NOT MY PROBLEM) I then suggested that as I had received an email confirmation of my appointment and two text reminders and NEVER any indication I needed to ring the pharmacy direct that perhaps the system should be taken down of it doesn't work to avoid further inconvenience. Again with an apology the young girl advised that it's the boots website and they are not part of boots and again I had made an error and still no apology. I think as a customer and as I don't know the legal set up of the two separate entities (again as I am only a customer) and they both bear the name BOOTS it is reasonable for me to assume that Boots pharmacy and boots are one and the same. I was dumbfounded at this point and had nothing further of use to add. I asked if I can make an appointment as I am stood there now and she advised she would need to check staffing but I could probably turn up tomorrow after 4 and I wouldn't need to make an appointment. I need to add I am pregnant and had travelled in bad weather to attend this appointment only for my time to be wasted. The service was absolutely appalling.

If I could rate zero I would. Ordered online a birthday present the delivery arrived in good time however I was sent the incorrect item. I emailed boots straight away and got a automatic reply saying someone would response in 2 working days..nothing so emailed again, still no reply. Lost my patience by this time and called, the customer service adviser told me to send it back at my own cost and time and wait up to 14 days for the correct item to be sent out! Or take to my local boots for a refund! Again wasting my time and I wanted the product not a refund! Absolutely disgusting service and will not be buying from boots again.

I was purchasing an item at boots Kirkcaldy high street and the sales assistant was incredibly rude and then her phone started ringing and she answered it while I was in the middle of speaking, also when I handed her the cash she made a rude and unnecessary comment about the fact I hadn’t laid the money in a neat pile I am very disappointed and almost decided to not buy the item

Online order- arrived with boxes missing and damaged. Boots expect you the customer to repackage the items and send back at your inconvenience. Not the online shopping experience you really want when you are pushed for time!! Really poor- and highly disappointed. Can't believe this is the way boots operate. Avoid online shopping with boots!!

I was looking for aftershave in st David’s centre in Cardiff we went up to the fragrance and were two members of staff having a good conversation how to lay carpet after a few minutes I interrupted them to ask for help. I told the man which aftershave I wanted and he asked me what size and he then told me they were by the escalator and turned away. Whilst walking away another group of staff were more engaged in their conversation about destiny child. The service was appalling today.

I spent a great deal of my Sunday afternoon completing an online shop for boots in the vain hope that it would save me time .... Not so!!! On finishing and with current vouchers in-hand, I proceeded to input voucher details to which each and every one was met with INVALID... Not so!!! Then I tried to delete each and every item and even empty the damn basket - this took for what felt like an eternity... In frustration, I closed down the browser. I am not quite sure who set this online facility up, but in my opinion, they need to change their day job. Quite frankly, it is complete rubbish... Unimpressed and will definitely not recommend it to anyone. What is the point in having a points card that you cannot utilise to the full online with your account nor in fact input voucher details?? I think that the 6 years olds that I teach could teach your online technicians a thing or two...

I ordered gifts online 1 item was used and damaged had to take it back to store only for the rudest staff and manager who is in the wrong job didnt care about my complaint and the fact I travelled to the store with broken ribs to be told it wasn't her problem! Needless to say I've put in a complaint.

The boots store in hanley stoke-on-Trent is appalling, the way the staff speak to one another is beyond a disgrace! A tall scruffy girl helped me find a product and on our way she spoke to her college about lunch, so unprofessional! On another occasion we herd a staff member putting stock away, swearing and crying!

I had bought an Estee Lauder perfume from boots online, but went into a store to smell it before it came. Once I'd smelled it I realised I really didn't like it, but had bought it in the Estee Lauder Blockbuster Collection. I really liked the blockbuster collection, and when I went in store to return it I knew I wanted another perfume as it was a gift for another person. I asked if I could trade it for another perfume. I had asked whether or not it would need to be another Estee Lauder perfume and couldn't get a solid answer. When it came to return I found another Estee Lauder perfume but was told that I couldn't do a straight swap as I had bought them online. I said I didn't bring the blockbuster collection with me, but asked if they could use one from the shelves and "return" it along with the perfume I had bought, and I would "rebuy" the collection instore along with the new perfume, and just leave the collection instore (again, I had the one I bought in my house). I was told this wasn't viable as they'd need to send one back to the .com section, when I tried explaining that they wouldn't be losing out on stock as it would balance out that I was buying from the store they became really unhelpful. Meanwhile, I was also trying to return a wallet I had bought in a 3 for 2 deal as it was larger than described on site. I was told that in order to return the item I would need to bring all 3 items, and then rebuy the 2 I wanted to keep. I explained I didn't have the 3 items, and was willing to exchange the item for another, again I was told I'd need the 3 items. I said this would mean I was worse off as I would need to send away or give instore, wait for the refund, and then rebuy the two items, or another one. This would mean I'd also need to pay for shipping again which would mean I was overall worse off in terms of money than if I just kept an item I didn't want. Overall the woman who served me was being unhelpful, took ages to find a manager, and at the end asked me "what do you want me to do?" in an overall tone meaning she no longer thought she could do anymore. She then asked me if I wanted to see a manager, and hesitantly I asked to, she again took ages to find a manager. Nothing was resolved and overall around an hour of my time was wasted by unhelpful staff.

Ordered an expensive baby car seat needed for a next day delivery. Never showed up until 2 days later. No communication and customer service is terrible. Would not use again.

What an absolute disaster. Received their Christmas catalogue - an item in there states available in selected stores and online only. Spent an hour trying to order it online but without success. 10 tweets, an email and a phone call later I've been told you can't order it online?! Why list in your book for the world to see that it can be ordered online. Customer service is very slow at replying, judging by what other people have said, it appears that if they don't know the answer they just simply ignore you! Oh and I wouldn't bother with the app! It just links you straight to the website..just seems so pointless.

During a visit today I was at the Ysl cosmetics counter and wanted a price of a lipstick, I waited several minutes and finally called a woman who was behind the counter to help me, she was rude and abrupt when I asked for the price and replied its not my counter! She seemed inconvenient to find a price and when she did she just snapped 28 and before I could ask to have it she turned and walked away so I thought I wouldn't bother any further as clearly I couldn't buy it if she wasn't going to serve me. Also at the 2 minute silence Boots did not turn off the music the play in store and we had to stand just listening to it trying to do the remembrance, totally unacceptable and disgraceful, won't be shopping there again!

Waiting for 15 minuets before anyone decides to bother dealing with a long queue of mainly elderly people waiting to collect prescriptions There were a number of staff hiding behind a screen. Despite being requested a number of times by the only girl serving nobody seemed to bother. Not the first time this has happened.

spent 40 minutes trying to order one item online and gave up because the page kept crashing before I got to payment! it's not my internet connection or phone because other sites work fine! really frustrating, I'm at work all day and spent my lunch hour trying to order a face mask which was a waste of time, sort out your online order site because it doesn't work on my mobile!
