Wanted to pick up some medication for my partner. Stood there ignored for ages.the elderly lady in front of me said she had been there for 15 mins. Medication had been left on the counter. Went to find someone to serve us to be told they were very busy. Disgusting service.

I made a click and collect order which I was unable to collect. The t & c s promise a refund after 14 days. A month later I tried to get this, several e mails went unanswered except for an automated response. Then I was asked to resend all the order details I had given in the email. After 2 weeks of this I phoned boots.com. It took 3 minutes to get past the "data protection spiel" but then a very nice man sorted it out and an e mail confirming the refund arrived in minutes. If running an on line company, get the on line communication working.

Terrible , shambolic service at Boots Opticians In Brent Cross. My child went for a regular eye appointment which required the application of Cyclopentolate eye drops to dilate her eyes. After waiting over an hour the assistant advised that the eye drops they had available were out of date ! Why no one regularly checks the expiry on the stock is beyond me. They had us waiting another 30 minutes, apparently in order to source the eye drops from another opticians (Vision Express), who apparently refused to provide it. In conclusion , the assistant advised us to keep calling over the next 3 weeks to enquire whether the drops are back in stock! Suffice to say I won’t be doing that. They clearly need better logistics and service at this place.

My friend and I were in Boots yesterday and looking to buy makeup from benefit and we heard a man talking to a girl, he was telling her off and it sounded very threatening and it was horrible to hear. The girl was young and we felt sorry for her. We wanted makeup for a party but after that we left and will not return. No one should speak to someone like that especially in front of people in a shop. We will never return because we are young girls and that is not okay. We will shop at Debenhams from now on

Boots cancelling orders with no reasons given and customer services having no idea either ... utter frustration for customers with no way of clarifying matters

I ordered some items online and one arrived damaged. Boots helpline told me to return the goods to a store who would send them to their warehouse and the send out a replacement!!! I thought the whole point of online shopping was to avoid the high street. The damaged item only cost just over £3 and the fuel costs and car park charges would far outweigh the value of the item. Never again!!!

DO NOT print your photos here (Chester)! It's a nightmare. Their system is outdated, slow and VERY expensive! It tries to get you to pay extra deceitfully; after stating that you want to collect them next day at the start (because it's a lot cheaper) at the end of the process it asks if you want them instantly giving the same figure that you would have paid for next day collection, BUT it's actually double so at a glance you think you're getting a good deal! And don't ask for help, they frankly couldn't give a toss! And that's after waiting AGES for help, with only 1 person working during busy Christmas shopping. On another occasion my mum didn't know how to use the system and the employee treated her so badly she was left in tears. Disgusting. I don't expect service like this from a long standing company like Boots. We will not be back and will advise all our friends not to either.

Incompetent and Unprofessional I ordered a Britax car-seat which was faulty. I rang and spoke to an advisor, Michel who stated child safety was of the upmost importance to Boots and another would be sent out quickly. I had an email just after our call to advise it would be 6 days before delivering the replacement, but no arrangements had been made to pick up the faulty car-seat. So I rang again the next day and spoke to another advisor who put me to a Manager at Head-Office, Mkechi. A pick-up was arranged. I was a bit cheesed-off as I have two wait in on two separate days, for delivery and pick-up. The manager offered £20 advantage-card points as a gesture of goodwill and said they would be on my card within a few hours. Two days later the points still hadn’t gone on. After two more calls and spending well over an hour on the phone they finally updated. Apparently after speaking to the original manager and discussing the Incompetence and Unprofessionalism, I was told this was acceptable. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions as to whether ordering online with this company will work for you.

The goods delivered are in terrible condition. These are gifts and everybody is damaged or marked and feel filthy with dust?! Will not be using this service again and definitely not worth being charged for this service.

Absolute waste of time. Went to buy electric toothbrush. First a cashier told me, they are out of stock, despite they advertise they have stock. Then, after demanding, seeing a manager, another sales assistant finds the stock. Got to pay for it, turns out I can't part pay with their own advantage points and pay balance in cash. What a waste of time. Never ever ever again shop there!

My personal opinion is to advise anyone printing photos off on line NOT to use Boots printing service until they investigate Snapfish and their procedures. Please read on and make your own decision though. On 30th October I ordered, using the online service, 15 no. 7 x 5 prints and was asked to purchase a collage 10 x 8, which I did. I was given the date 6th November to pick up from my local store. The photos went missing and Snapfish, the company Boots use, were extremely unhelpful. They kept stalling saying "wait another day". I asked twice for the Directors name but they ignored my request and there was no admittance of fault by Snapfish or an apology. They said they would ring the store and email me back. They did not email me, I had to email them. They say they had been ringing Boots store. Why they didnt email them, I couldnt say but Boots were not answering the phone. However, the Boots local store Manager and staff were very helpful when I called them and was answered. 7 days after the date I was given, a set of photo's arrived in store, whether they were reprinted and sent while I was being stalled, I will never know but my concerns were because the photographs are of my child & I was worried where they had been sent to. On checking the photographs ONLY 3 of the 15 no. 7 x 5 photographs are of any use. They were supposed to be showcasing dresses/make up/hair at a special event. The other 12 photos are either positioned so you cannot see all of the dress ie train missing off the bottom, top of heads missing, legs cut off, photos blurred or the writing on them is half cut in half. The collage shows the missing parts of the photographs, and proves it was not because I had positioned them incorrectly on line. The photo processing system said the photos were acceptable. However, there is supposed to be a border of approx' 5mm around each photo in the collage and around the edge of the whole collage. Snapfish have missed off the border and the edges of 4 photographs and the border is missing completely either side of the collage. It took many emails, 2 trips into town and 2 phone calls to receive these photographs, 7 days late, after they had gone missing to which I can only use 3. The Boots Manager was apologetic and sorted me out with a gift card but Snapfish would not even write an apology or give me the Director's details. I wonder if he/she knows how appalling the 'service' they provide is!! When I emailed Snapfish asking for a written apology they replied 'we have contacted the store and it has been sorted by them'. I received that reply within 24 hours, pity they were not that quick trying to sort out my missing photographs!

I ordered online with boots and selected next day delivery. I left work early went into store and it wasn’t there. I went the day after again as I called them and they said it should be there. Again it wasn’t there. I went the day after again and it wasn’t there again shockingly. I had to reorder because it went missing. Baring in mind I needed that order 6 days before I needed it. I logged a complaint and no one got in touch. So I contacted them on Facebook and the only thing they could do was apologise. Not only did they not respond to my email but I only got an apology. Pathetic never again will I order from them. They’re not reliable at all.

disgusted by the lack of customer service at Boots in Bournemouth. Left waiting, asked for assistance and was basically refused. Unbelievable! Will not be back.

I was expecting a boots order yesterday with 6 items in it. I only recieved 2 items. Finally got a response to my questions 48 hrs later. Parcel lost in transit. Now I’m waiting longer for my next response. Farce

Disappointed with my visit to the Ferndown store today, went in after advice on multivitamins and iron supplements, I walked in, asked the lady behind the till for advice, started explaining what I needed help with and she rudely interrupted me and said 'I am not a pharmacist, I cant prescribe or recommend medicines/supplements, you need to go to your doctor for that', she then went on to give me advice she had purely collected from her own life experience. I am disappointed that your staff are not trained in their products, in a shop full of medical supplies and drugs, in order to sell them safely, correctly and have customers leave happy and satisfied.

Do not be fooled by the completion of an on-line order. I purchased an item to the value or £399.99 on a weekend with bonus points. My purchase went through successfully, the money was taken from my account then within 24 hours, I had an e-mail to say my order had been cancelled. Boots are not able to give a reason why, just a list of possible reasons. The customer services phone-line takes ages to get through to so I e-mailed Boots. Their response is within 2 working days. Day 5 and I have not received a reply so have just spend the last 20 minutes on the phone trying to sort this issue. Boots still had my money as they had overlooked the refund. My refund has now been processed but could take up to 5 working days to appear in my account. Boots are doing the same bonus points offer this weekend but I do not have the money to purchase the item again until I receive my refund. Boots have therefore given me a case number so that I can order the item once I have my refund and they will honour the bonus points, I have to phone them again though!!! Lets hope the item is in stock when I order! Very disappointed with Boots!!

I was in the Lurgan store this morning to print some photos, only when I asked the staff member (who had seen me at the machine for 10 mins) for help she informed me the machine has been playing up and it should have a sign on it. I asked her if I should cancel my order on it then and she said no!? Again I asked her to help me use the machine and she said ..Oh I haven't a clue about that, they bring in these machines and never train us on how to use them. Think I'll print pictures in Tesco from now on.

The Boots Online Pharmacy home Delivery Service has failed me twice in a row, they claim its royal mails fault that my prescription has not been delivered twice in a row leaving me without meds despite ordering in plenty of time. The trace and track codes they supplied refered to a delivery from 2013 to the other side of the country, I have complained and chased this with them again and again and I am now just being ignored. I suffer from Stress related disorders and really could do without having to chase them to get my meds delivered before I run out
