Item sent to wrong store. As a result I made 2 failed collection attempts, in between those I called to confirm that the item was at the correct store, and was assured all was OK. On the second attempt, I was left in store to spend 2 calls and 25/30 minutes on the phone in the store to try and sort this out for myself, as the in store staff were extremely unhelpful. Only at the end of this 2nd phone call did they tell me the item was at the wrong store. When I refused to travel to the incorrect store for collection, they did not offer to have the item resent to the correct store, and also made the refund process as difficult as possible as the purchase was made in-store at another Boots branch. Completely appalling customer service, and a total waste time to try and order for collection from Boots. Never again.

Be careful with this company Be careful with this company. They sell products that expire and are not responsible for the consequences. A very bad company

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...

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

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..

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!

Boots failed to deliver my order and the customer service operative Josh was unable to tell me where my order was, all he had/could confirm was my order date 14/12/18. Josh was also unable to offer me any assurances regarding a reorder ie if I reordered my item would this reach its requested destination for me to pick up before Christmas?! They lost my order without apology. Whilst on the phone to Josh I agreed to a reorder but during the call between Josh and myself, Boots ran out of their online stocks so he now couldn't order me a replacement item!! I requested that Josh call the only store in Maidstone that still had the item on their shelves after much persuasion he agreed. So Josh was supposed to be calling the store to reserve the item in King Street boots, the Fremlin Walk store had sold the item off their shelves as Josh had informed me earlier during our call. However Josh chose to leave me literally hanging on the phone while he just refunded me the money back on my card instead of calling the store as we had agreed. The only reason I knew that he had refunded me was an automated refund message to my phone. The whole call took over an hour and 15 minutes of my time and I had to end the call, no one came back on the line. Since then, I have been unable to reach King Street boots via their direct store number having tried to call the multiple times, as I would like to see if they have the item still on their shelves so I can then reserve the item for me to pick up. In a nutshell, Boots Customer service is totally rubbish. All Josh wanted to do was get me off the phone by offering me a refund. I didn't want a refund, I wanted the item I ordered. Their online service has collapsed purely due to Christmas. Imagine that Boots the Chemist is not ready for the increased pressure that Christmas brings. Unacceptable that a huge company is unable to cope with extra customer traffic because of Christmas, basically no contingency plans have been put in place to ensure exceptional customer service at a time of the year when all of us want to give our loved ones a special Christmas to show them we care. I will never order online with Boots again.
