Went in for a spray to treat minor outer-ear infections. Bossy pharmacist told me I needed to see a doctor. Said (erroneously) that all sprays and drops were only for waxy/blocked ears. When I asked if I could buy the required spray over the counter, she insisted and repeated herself. When I repeated and insisted, she picked up the product then had a silent bossy fit, and completed the transaction with no pleases nor thank yous. Looked at instructions on spray box confirming it was for the intended use. Guess what? Using it and it's working. No need to see my overburdened practice docs.

They gave me a voucher to enter a competition. When you enter the competition it signs you up to a company called slimline and tries to change your internet page! No mention of a competition what are they up to?

I ordered a perfume from the store called Versace Dylan Blue as it came with a free Versace bag. I waited until the date of arrival and it hadn't arrived. The tracking information hadn't updated either. I contacted boots and they said that due to snow, my order was backlogged. This is understandable and they said that if the order didn't arrive within 48 hours, they'd send it out again. When asked about the bag, they said it was subject to availability. I later emailed them saying that if they couldn't send the bag with the perfume (if they had to send another order out), I'd like my order to be cancelled. The next day, I received a response from them. They said that they will be resending the perfume out to me as hermes had lost my order. They cancelled my original order and made a new one. However, the new order didn't have the bag included. I checked on the website and it said that the bag was still available. I called them and explained the situation. They had actually ran out of bags from the very start when I made my first order and will be sending out the order anyway with just the perfume even though I specified that I did not want the order if the bag wasn't included. They clearly hadn't read my email properly and hadn't updated the website with the correct information. They also gave me 200 boots advantage points as a goodwill gesture. Thats £2 of points for a mistake costing me £74 and refunding it to the store will cost £3 for a bus pass anyway. I am extremely disappointed with how they dealt with this order. I have lost money from this mistake and do not recommend ordering from them. This was my first order with boots and I have never dealt with such an awful delivery. Their compensation that they gave me was assuming that I'd shop at boots again which is now questionable.

Repeat prescription not ordered by them, second time I’ve had this problem even though they sold me their enhanced (lol) service. Time to move on to a standard service from someone else, will not use again, rubbish.

While some staff are friendly and helpfull and often some phatmacists, I find that everytime I get a pharmacist whi is from another culture, they are rude and act in a very sexist manner towards me. They appear to make up rules, but say as an excuse ''it's the law.' Or 'Our Policy'. When I check this out with the regulat pharmacist when the are on. They tell me the opposit?

Shocking, overpriced company selling products all available elsewhere much cheaper. Here in Dover their store is dead opposite a Savers store selling anything Boots sell much cheaper. Boots however seem not to mind. How odd isn't it.

I cannot believe that a company such as boots does not have this facility to use a gift card. It must be one of the few company's if not the only one. It defeats the purpose if I have to go to a shop to place an Internet order. As a previous review said Boots Keep up with the times........

Boots are a complete con. They give you offers of products but if you purchase more than four or five different products that are all on offer they cancel your order without a valid explanation. When you contact them for a reason they say they are unable to disclose the information but that you have failed an authentication check. The young girl I spoke to was very arrogant and short and had no clue about customer care and little communication skills. In a nutshell, they don't want your order to be more than a few items on special offer. They put their products on deals to bring in the potential buyers and when you have spent so long trying to sort the problem out most will probably just purchase alternative items that are not on offer. Just look at their feedback. I will not be visiting Boots again and my advice is to do the same. There are many other retailers offering the same products at decent prices who won't give you the stress and hassle you get from shopping with Boots.

What an experience I had today in boots in Birkenhead today I understand some people have the Monday blues But to get two ladies not giving good polite customer service. I asef a young girl who was pregnant could she help me find my replacement foundation I showed her my last one ad she took it off me there was no verbal contact with me not even when she gave me the one I wanted I was made to feel as her task was more important than mysef ...a paying customer. ..when I went to the till. Again no smile or chat ...I know there are some new staff there ...if looks as if they are not happy in there work place ..reason I don't know .there are plenty of people who would like a job who give better service. .....this is my local store as I work in Birkenhead and also work in a store. Am not a happy shopper

Since the first day of the sales, boots has had many items up on their website as being on sales. I've check online and nothing is stock, called by phone and sent on a wild goose chase to different branches, after being told stores had the items in stock, to find on arrival, there were not. Eventually complained to the manager at Liverpool Street station branch, to tell me the warehouse does not even have the items. I am truly disappointed in Boots, as this is false advertisement and should not be allowed. Boots puts things on their website which they no they do not have in stock, know customers will go to the stores to purchase the items which are not in stock and instead buy something else. Shame on you Boots, you should be under investigation.

Pity they run a misleading advert for their Dual Defence nasal spray. After being told to remove the previous ad because it incorrectly claimed to stop people getting a cold (rather than simply to reduce symptoms), they now use a picture of people in space helmets smiling next to another person sneezing - clearly implying the same discredited message that the product actually stops you catching things. I'd expect better from a retailer of medicines.

Can’t believe boots is still going. Awful staff, terrible managers. Pharmacy doesn’t know anything.

I placed an order online on the 19.12.17 for some perfume for a christmas present due in local store on 21.12.17. It has never arrived and it is now the 05.01.18 and I have still not received it. I have made numerous calls to customer services and everytime I am told a different answer and it is never resolved. The annoying thing is the item was actually in stock in store. I asked if I could just have the one in store and then they keep the one delivered for me. I was told this is not possible by customer service, yet that is what I am been told now!! I have emailed a complaint and I have still not received a reply or any correspondence to let me know of any delay. This is even though my email is on my record but still no reply. God knows how this will end but I will never use bootsonline again. Worst service I have ever received.

Shocking!! Bought some Christmas gifts (marked up with little present boxes) in November. One of them was unsuitable and have just found out that, unlike many other retailers, they do not extend their returns policy for Christmas! This basically means anything bought 35 days before Christmas CANNOT be refunded!! Will definitely never be buying any Christmas gifts from them ever again!!

Shopped in your westbromwich store 28th dec, store quiet, when found what I looking approached the counter to pay but a member of staff chose to ignore me even though she made eye contact tact twice(RUDE!!) she didn’t hv a name badge on. Obviously thought her job tidying shelf’s was more important to serve myself so she shouted someone out of the dispensary to serve me even though she was to the right of me. Needs a lesson in manners!!!!
