Boots kingswood hull. Will never stop here again, vile women (Caroline) who clearly needs not only customer service training and a bar of soap in her shocking mouth but a facial wipe to wipe off the hideous (orange/mahogany) makeup.. she looks like pinocchio. I’ve never been so insulted by a member of staff in retail in my life.. my mother was so upset I had to take her home. I made a complain for it to be brushed off. I’m not happy with the way this was dealt with and there is no way this is her only complaint. Totally lost my custom. Vile women.

Missing items from my order. When I contacted them they told me they couldn't send them and I would have to return the order. As it is a birthday gift I don't have the time to return and re order and do t see why I should have to. Very disappointed with this and won't be shopping with Boots again

I am a 39 weeks pregnant woman and i walked 45 mins just to exchange a product in boots aldershot which i bought yesterday but I am very disappointed with the service. Actually what happened was i bought a baby milk yesterday and I wasn't sure wheather I grabbed the right product or not. I asked the lady who served me and she told me that if i bring the receipt and the product in reselling condition they can exchange it. I came to know that the product was not the right one. So i went to exchange and thought will buy the right one on monday. But there was another lady and she said she can't exchange it. I told the lady to call the manager and the manager also said the same thing and he was a bit rude n he kept saying he can't exchange the product. That is not my mistake as well. I know what he was saying but may be he was not getting what I am saying. What i am saying was if i dont get the exchange then Why they gave meh the wrong information that i can get the exchange if the product is in reselling condition. I know the rules of the product that some stores dont exchange or give the refund in baby foods thats why i asked the lady who served me the other day. Customer satisfaction is the main motive of any store which i didnt get. The manager was rude and he even wasnot sorry for that. I returned with a heavy hard and they ruined my whole day. They said that they can't exchange cosmetics but i did exchange one cream before even though its pacakaging was opened bit on different stores. They have to male the same policies. Especially i dont like the manager's response to a customer who was misleaded with the wrong information Bu their own staffs. 1st experience of customer dissatisfaction in my life.

Absolutely disgraceful, incompassionate service from Boots Pharmacy in Swaffham. It says it all when going home on the dot is way more important for the Pharmacist than urgent medical needs for the customer! You should be ashamed of your so called service.

Worst for online experience and customer service, placed an order (287210003) for delivery on Valentines Day as part of a gift for my partner. Order showed as confirmed and dispatched on my account with tracking number, tested tracking number and this didn’t work “unable to verify” waited in all day no delivery, no gift. Called Boots.com today, no idea on what’s happened to my order but called Royal Mail who confirmed they never received the order! I asked for a refund and to complain and was promptly cut off once I got my refund (in 3-5 working days). Sheer incompetence, first and last time I order from Boots.com I will never bother with these amateurs again, it is a suprise to me how they’ve managed to continue to trade.

Boots pharmacy one life, middlesbrough is the worst chemist ever. The horrible manager i believe is called Nadia something. Well she is vile to customers and staff. She talks to them like they are a puece if rubbish. Very unlrofessional when she is shouting at her staff and embarrasing them infront of customers. I will never step foot in this shop again unless that horrible excuse of a manager gets the sack!!!!! Boots need to take note of the amount of staff that have left since she took over. I believe it is 10 in total now and some of them lovely ladies had worked there for over 10 years. I know many customers have already took their custom elsewhere as they will not tolerate the way they were treat by her.

I am really annoyed with the Stroud Boots. It is now the only place in the town where you can get photos printed. The one machine was out of order and the second one ran out of printing paper. It took ages to get help and then there was none in the store. Although the girl was helpful, she did say that as it a Self Service Machine they are not trained to use it. I ended up only getting a small part of what I wanted. They had no idea when the two machines might be fixed. A very poor service.

I needed a refund as I bought makeup that my daughter had bought too I took it back CLEARLY UNOPENED (even the assistant said so) but they wouldn’t change it I was directed to a notice that was tiny. Give me a break Boots you’re an optician. I was told “It’s on the receipt.” Well you’ve already bought it Where was the warning on the makeup stand? Everyone knows about earrings Is this health and safety or Boots ensuring profits

Sorry to have to say that Boots, like some other large retailers (eg John Lewis) are falling badly behind the competition, especially noticeable on-line (PC World/Currys are showing the way to survive effectively in competitive times though). Boots pricing is competitive, but it's actually about so much more than just price. Attempting to buy from our local branch today on-line (in preference to Amazon) was a shambolic experience: - 1. 'Free collection' details on the item page, were subsequently contradicted on the following page. 2. In store 'Stock availability' function didn't work. 3. Phone call to branch established limited stock, requiring next day collection from elsewhere - given 'Customer Care' tel. no. to resolve collection charge contradiction error. 4. Customer Care needed to know my full details including even my age (!) before addressing the issue, repeatedly interrupting my explanation of the problem too. Told the collection charges had 'changed' (I had them on screen in front of me), then reluctantly accepted that this WAS misleading and agreed free collection, but no idea what time of day item would arrive. 5. The call took 15 minutes, rather longer than the click of an Amazon button...... Looks like I'm not alone, reading other reviews. Very amateurish.

I go every two months to pick up my prescription, and there is a problem every time. There is usually a problem with the person in front of me as well. The person asks you how they can help, you ask for your prescription. They go to the back, then shout through, whats the address? The look around and get confused, then shout something at you from the back, your say pardon, they ask for your name, again, you shout through, they ask for your address again. Highly unprofessional.

Having bought a pair of nail clippers at £25, when I tried them I found they were faulty. I was then advised by Boots that Managers discretion if to issue a refund. What. The things are faulty for goodness sake. Never again will I shop at Boots, my last shop was £120. In future I will go elsewhere. I’m now contacting Trading Standards over this terrible issue.

Totally disgusted and appalled. went to Scunthorpe optitians over 3 weeks ago had eyes tested told needed varifocals was told that I needed to spend £400.00 on a pair that did everything and if not right then come back no worries was even measured by their specialist in there. Waited over 2 weeks for them saw another member of staff who so called measured them was told could not see properly and was told to go away and try. returned 2 days later complained someone checked and said the lenses were placed in wrong position and I had to see someone else in few days. returned saw same specialist saw on day of purchased every excused was heard from her and when I asked for refund was told no sorry exchange of glasses only this was not mentioned at time of purchase which we complained about and she wasn't bothered. was told actually I don't need varifocals just a distance pair so why did I pay all this money was told that they would give me same glasses with distance lens and another as a spare this does not add up to the £400 I paid totally ripped off not happy they don't care at all.

They are ripping their customers. They are overselling their products. They have the most unreasonable and rudest staffs, managers, top managers I ever faced. I have bought a Boss EDTS 100ml for 65 pounds where you can buy it from almost all other retailers with between 30-35 pounds. Just google this perfume, you would then be amazed! Please do not buy from them. For sure you can find what you want far cheaper online or try other shopping stores in UK first.

Ordered Dr Browns baby teats for my newborn baby who was having trouble With the number 1s teats on click and collect the next day paid £1.50 for them to deliver to store because they never have the size I have needed every time I have looked So I ordered online went to collect them today at the Barry store. I opened the bag to double check they had delivered the correct Teats to then realise they had delivered the Narrow Teats when I hadn’t ordered them I had ordered the Standard size to fit my bottles to then be told I then had to wait till tomorrow and collect them at the store tomorrow and that we are really sorry about this and that they have now separated them in the warehouse so they don’t get them mixed up again. I asked if there way any way of getting them today as I desperately needed them as my baby was stuggling to feed on the teats that had came with the bottles and I was told there was nothing they could do. I then phoned Boots customer services to then be told we are so sorry about this and we can refund your £1.50 delivery I then asked if they could deliver to my house the next day instead of me having to do another trip to the store for them to tell me they would have to cancel and process my order again. I still haven’t been refunded my £1.50 delivery money and I will now have another unsettled night with my baby. I never expected this from boots and I will not be buying from the store again. I thought they did execellent customer service. I would say they are a total let down.

Boots gift cards cannot be used online. Very disappointing as I can't get out to visit a store at moment. I won't be asking for a Boots gift again.
