The online service is shocking 1st order placed for next day delivery... never turned up ....lost in transit Refund after 4 days as they couldn't raise another duplicate order for some unknown reason 2nd order placed ... never turned up ... lost in transit This time they were able to reorder and it eventually turned up 3 days later Lost in transit appears to be the usual excuse Prior to ordering, I checked the stock locator online and went to local store to purchase. Could not find the item, so asked a staff member who said they had none. Told her that I had just checked online before coming, to this she replied "don't bother with that, it's always wrong"

Avoid Boots pharmacy in Ferryhill if you are housebound and need to have your drugs delivered, most pharmacists offer this service nowadays. The members of staff who answer the telephone relay the WRONG information to the Pharmacist causing so many mistakes with your prescription order. They are rude and insist they have always correctly notified the Pharmacist of the drugs requested. You are always blamed for the errors if you are elderly. Stay away from them, they could kill you with their incompetence. There is a family pharmacy, also in Ferryhill, please go there, do NOT use Boots in Ferryhill, mistakes are made with your drug prescription. far too often. Do not die at their hands

Online price per photo print is 11p, one of the best prices out there. In store price is 40p. I made 142 prints for £56.80. Called customer service, offered 500 points on Boots card and said they can't match the price

I wanted to purchase a pair of Joules sunglasses. I purchased on line and the item arrived through my letterbox 'loose' (no case), scratched lens (unsurprising given no case) and WITH SECURITY TAG ON!! I first contacted boots by telephone ( my cost), then 3 times by email and finally got a response telling me to take them to a nearest store (8 miles away plus parking cost!!). I am now £70 missing with an unusable pair of sunglasses. Pretty well the WORST customer experience I can remember. Please SORT IT OUT BOOTS! Refund and collect, entirely your fault!

Every store I go into it is so difficult to find staff that can help. Make up counters in some stores the wait is 45 mins plus due to stores running on what looks like no staff. Even in the big city centre stores it's almost impossible to find anyone to ask a question. Pharmacist in harrogate store in north Yorkshire is terribly rude. Gentleman with reddish blonde hair and Scottish accent, heard him mumbling under his breath about another customer. Little bit condescending when speaking to myself. Overall very unhappy with his general service.

NO GENUINE SHOP CUSTOMER SERVICE AT BOOTS FELPHAM BOGNOR REGIS Took up Boots managed services of prescription earlier in 2016 which was a success initially but became a disaster. I have asthma and is important for me to get inhalers on time 24th 25th of every month. At Christmas I was left without for days and despite shop promise to not repeat this in January they were late again. In January due to after affect of not having inhaler to control asthma I had to go to Hospital. Hence when I realized detrimental situation I complained to Boots head office and area manager called promising this would never happen again. But when I was relieved to get inhalers 27/2/17 (2 days late) I never complained or made a fuss. However the Shop staff explained 27/2/17 they would NO LONGER MANAGE MY PRESCRIPTIONS because I had complained in January. I was SHOCKED because boots promised to care but clearly do not. My advice is if you have IMPORTANT MEDICATION DO NOT RELY on Boots because there NOT GENUINE in Customer care

Placed order for child car seat with delivery date of 24th Feb 17 . Still awaiting. Phoned Boots on 24th and told to hold, while they check with Hermes , fed up after 10 mins. Boots replied by email on 25th stating Hermes have problems with accessing the property . Phone Boots and told to hold , this time suggested they rang me . Yes they rang back and stated Hermes had problems with the vehicle but it would be delivered on 26th . No item on 26th , Phoned Boots , normal hold and I will find out , I requested phone back and they did , Hermes could not deliver on 26th but they would bring it 27th . The main problem is Hermes do not give delivery time slot . I feel Boots have washed they hands of the matter and Hermes will bring the item when they want . I would not buy items from Boots that had to be delivered. If I known before buying it came via Hermes I would not purchased the items

I went to Boots Tavistock to buy a wound dressing for my husband. He had been discharged from hospital following a knee operation and needed another dressing. I was told it was not possible to buy these as they had to be obtained from the hospital. I then, with the help of an assistant, chose a roll of waterproof plaster + a roll of micropore tape. Whilst shopping in a local supermarket a while later I enquired at the pharmacy counter as to whether they stocked wound dressings. To my surprise the answer was yes as " hospitals don't give you any replacements". I was offered a choice from a wide range of sizes and chose the exact one needed. It is annoying to think I spent a needless 5.99 due to wrong information.

Ordered baby milk and food online to collect at Heathrow airport Terminal 3 before our flight, and when we turned up some of the milks I had ordered were missing and they had no more in stock. We was offered another brand of baby formula, but anyone with a baby will know you can't just change a baby from one formula onto another, so the only option they gave us was to take the different formula or to hope our baby wouldn't go hungry on holiday. Not the stressful start we wanted to a relaxing break away. Shockingly bad customer service from boots.

Rubbish online ordering services and extremely bad customer service in store. when ever order online anything since last 2 months, boots.com keep cancelling the order. If you don't want to sell stuff to customers then why, Whyyyyyyyyy you are keeping items for sale online. Rubbish management and time wasters. Never will come back to boots.com

Normally staff in the Dumfries store are polite and helpful but the last twice I have visited I have been sadly disappointed. The first time I queried the order in which the use of my points offers were used therefore making one invalid and was abruptly told 'it wouldn't matter which order I put them in as it's now less than £5'. It would matter because if she used them in the order I gave them the first one would have been used prior to my balance being less than £5. The second visit I queried the shelf offer buy one get one half price and was told it was not for my items in a dismissive 'the till is correct' manner. I asked if they could move the ticket which had been placed in front of the wrong item & was ignored by the young man who checked it and the till operator!

Have ordered online and bought in store, a fair few hefty orders but when I tried to order just now was told that I did not have any points or indeed an 'advantage card'. I took a screen shot of the last order I made which cost some £65 but then discovered that the 'contact us' email button which I could have sent the screen shots through is defunct so I can't prove that I have a card or that I have a fair few points from previous orders. Very disappointing from a company I used to have faith in.

I went and specified what colour of powder I wanted but she insisted on giving me a recommendation despite me telling her twice what shade i wamted. Unfortunately I now have a useless and very expensive powder. Boots won't rectify this despite it being recommended by their employee. I won't be shopping in there again.

I went to collect an online order. There was no assistant at the till so I waited a little while. I then spotted an assistant stacking shelves so I went over to her to ask if anyone was serving and she looked really annoyed. She came over to the till and then shouted to another assistant who I had not spotted who was also stacking shelves that there were people waiting to be served who also came to the till and then she asked where was the queue and then said there was only one waiting, as if it didn't matter that we were not being served. This is not the first time assistants have been abrupt in this store. Very poor customer service.

Seven tills but just 3 opened, it is obviously more important to put things on shelves than it is to deal with customers.

This store is going to end up like BHS! Both online and in store you get the worst experience. Staff in store don't have a clue what they are doing most of the time, you do come across the occasional employee that cares but most are completely clueless and just want to pretend they are not there!, I was in a store a few weeks ago, it took 3 people 25 minutes to exchange 1 item that had been sent in error in an order I placed online! The website must have been set up in the 60's its absolutely useless, always getting redirected to the wrong pages, always saying my login details are incorrect, I have to change my password nearly every time I go onto the website! That really annoying page that popos up on nearly every other click of the baby smacking it's head and the quote 'ooops something went wrong'! I have been getting that page up for the last 5yrs! they clearly need to replace their IT department. They need to update everything actually, I'm going to shop at superdrug from now on, can't be bothered with boots anymore.
