Crown Point branch - Leeds I would like to complain about the poor customer service i received from the current Pharmacy Dept. There is one person in particular and does her best to keep people waiting, dosn't smile, no good morning/afternoon and is so rude and miserable Not surprised i heard this shop is on the closure list. POOR SERVICE

I am absolutely mortified and disgusted at how I was treated in boots Eltham today. I had a look at some perfume then was about to purchase some multivitamins when I noticed a member of staff staring directly at me, then about a second later the manager comes up behind me and tells me, to get out the store and not to ever come back as apparently they have cctv of me shoplifting in there ( I have never and would never shoplift) I said no I’m not going and that I have never shoplifted in my life, he then tells me to get out or he will call the police. Again, I said no show me this evidence. He keeps telling me to get out and never come back. I stood my ground and said no check the cctv. He goes out the back, comes back and says do you have i.d? to which I showed him this and he goes, I’m sorry case of mistaken identity. He keeps saying sorry but I flat out am not accepting it, you’ve humiliated me in front of the whole store, I work in Eltham, I go into boots to BUY things regularly. He gave me a gift card as an apology but I would have rather not been humiliated like that, if I hadn’t stood my ground I would have been banned from boots, for what? Nothing. Not that I will ever step foot in that shop again. I have also made a complaint to head office.

Shame on Boots be very wary if you have a gift receipt Boots do not honour the price paid you get sale price why do gift receipts and make money out of your customers my daughter would have given the actual receipt if she had been told lost 30%!of price paid other companies do not operate this way it is a Christmas rip off would have expected better of such a company

two complaints. 1st not allowed to redeem advantage card points to buy a gift card . Seriously mean spirited . 2nd short changed deliberately by a shop assistant because she did not have a penny. She consiously gave me 2p change when she owed me 3p saying she did not have a penny. She should have sourced the penny or given more than i was due to the nearest denomination available. Not about the money but the principle. Huntingdon Boots seriously not up to speed

Tried to add £3.16 advantage card points from receipt today but was told this can’t be done as receipt hasn’t been VERIFIED at time of purchase......sales assistant failed to do this....or mention that I couldn’t do this...whose fault is it then...won’t be rushing back to Boots for next purchase in a hurry. Only purchased said item 1 week ago...maybe take it back for a refund and shop elsewhere.

I PLACED A REVIEW ON THIS SITE A WEEK AGO ABOUT A £50 GIFT VOUCHER THAT HAD GOT MISPLACED,THAT YOU SAID WAS NOW INVALID, LIKE I SAID IN THAT LETTER I HAVE PHONED YOU /PUT A NEGATIVE REVIEW AND HAVE NOT HAD THE COURTESY OFF A REPLY. THE CUSTOMER WAS ALWAYS IN MY DAY LOOKED AFTER AND TREATED WITH RESPECT SADLY LACKING IN BOOTS, I WOULD RECOMEND EVERY ONE TO BOYCOTT, BUYING YOUR GIFT VOUCHERS BECAUSE NOT WORTH TRYING AND FAILING TO GET A REPLY FROM YOU,AND LOSING THE £50 WHICH IS DOWN RIGHT THEFT ON YOUR PART

Just bought Benadryl Allergy One A Day 10mg tablets containing Cetirizine. WHAT A TOTAL RIPOFF! £9.99 for 30 tabs The exact same drug (10mg Cetirizine) is available from Amazon - 6 months supply (180 x 10mg Cetirizine tablets) for £3.35. That's 33p per tablet from Boots and 1.8 pence per tablet from Amazon. Boots is 17.73 times more expensive!!

I was told by a pharmasist that senacot IBS relief tablets, or indeed Immodium could'nt be sold without a prescription? so I visited another non boots chemist and bought what I needed. They'll probably end up like Tesco, Dixons, McDonalds, and many more that have left Stretford Mall.

Sale on. All checkouts full. Asked lady on perfume counter if she was putting through all boots items on her checkout or just the brand she was selling. Said you would put my items through. So I waited quite a while as she served the customers in front of me. She then said she would serve the customers behind me, as she recognised they had products off her stall. I objected as I had been waiting over 20 minutes saying they should wait there turn. She said she would serve them first as they had some of her products among there shopping. Telling me I should expect to que on sale day. And that that I should go and start queing again at the main checkout. She then went on to serve a further 2 customers before me, who simply waved her products at her to jump the que. I do expect to que on sale days . I did ask if she was serving every body. Charlotte of lancaster your attitude stinks. Your customer service is nil. I will not be shopping at boots again.

Newport, Isle of Wight branch. Served by a lady on the Clinique counter just before Christmas. Made it quite obvious that my purchase was not Clinique and I shouldn’t have really gone to her, despite her having no one queuing near her till. Maybe a change in her attitude would encourage more people to purchase Clinique items from her

Boots Sunbury History – 8+ years repeat prescriptions. Have regularly been sent text notifications of prescription ready for collection…..for another person in my area with the same name, then they failed to advise me when my repeat was ready, thus, to alieve aggravation, forced me to diarise when repeats were ready. Boots repeat system clearly not fit for purpose(?) Present – Tried to collect my repeat today (23/12) but was told not ready as too soon to collect (due for issue on 31 Dec). When I told the pharmacist I would be away, she advised it was my issue as I’d not told them I was to be away. She confirmed they had my tabs in stock, but could not issue prior to 31 Dec. I advised her of my previous issues with their ability to dispense but was met with a cold stare and sarcastic “You should have advised us if you were going away”. Now I understand why Boots Sunbury display multiple signs advising CCTV was in operation and advising not to be abusive. In context, there were 4+ staff working in pharmacy/dispensing, I was 2nd in line on arrival, and still had to wait neigh on 10 minutes to be seen to – yes, Boots, you have the staff records/ CCTV to confirm this. Future – Called my doctors practice (Sunbury Health Centre) today who answered within 2 minutes (pretty much the norm in my experience) – suggested I pop down to the surgery today, fill in a repeat prescription form, and it would be available from Tesco Sunbury in 3 days. As much as I prefer dealing with a pharmacy, Boots have done themselves in. Frustrating for me, but then, vote with your feet.

I placed an order for online delivery last week. Just got a message to say delivery of items will be the 27th Dec!! Never ordered online with this store before but absolutely shocked at how long they take to deliver!! Ordered goods from amazon two days after this order and they have arrived. What a shambles Boots. You should give up the online shopping option as you cannot match the current market. I will now be shopping in other stores and will never shop here again. The products purchased will be returnedalot quicker than received🙄).

l found a forgotten £50 gift voucher with my late husbands items l was told it was invalid. phoned number given was told l would receive a reply in 48/72 hours later, that was Nov 18 never did receive call back. lf l was to come into a boots store and take £50 worth of goods that would be classed as theft, but what you do when people forget gift vouchers that have been given to them, l class as theft on a grand scale. l do not expect a reply to this, or even for you to put it on your web review site

I buy from many online store sites and Boots, in my view is bottom of the list. My daughter wanted some items from Boots and added it to their basket. Order was placed 15th Decmeber and when I chased today 20th December, status is saying your order is being processed. When I phone up I am told that the order will arrive at my chosen store on the 23rd. Luckily I will be still at work, as I had chosen the Boots nearest to my office, as I exepected a faster store pick up. over 5 days for stocked items is rediculous. Cannot recomend Boots online and will be very hesitant to use again.

I ordered an item on line on(a Braun electric toothbrush ) 7th December and received an e mail advising delivery at my selected store on Thursday 12th.when it did not arrive I e.mailed your customer service department who said they would reply in 48 hours. By today Wednesday no reply has been received so I rang customer service and after the usual lengthy wait I was told it was still not available for delivery. At this point I cancelled the order and asked for a refund. This is extremely poor service from the biggest chemist in the UK and is simply not good enough . I have since purchased the item from Superdrug with no delay.Needless to say this is one very dissapointed consumer who will not be using Boots again.
