Boots appear to be in a downward spiral. I predict they will disappear from the high street in 2023. Their customer service is a lesson in inefficiency and ineffectiveness. They are not in control of their business. Their Customer Services Director is completely asleep at the wheel.

Absolutely amazing service! I did my online order on Monday, where I managed to get everything I desired. It was estimated to arrive next week, which is understandable due to current situation. But it arrived today, 2 days after placing my order!! What a service!! Even in the current crisis, boots are still providing the best service. Wouldn't shop anywhere else. Thankyou to all the hardworking key workers. :)

Do not consider working for boots , these days it does not care at all about its workers on the shop floor . All retail is under pressure during these very worry of times but Boots are going beyond what is acceptable with its work force . Almost everyone I work with is so disgusted at the treatment we are getting . I am currently now doing the job of three people following cut backs on staffing levels, my pay is frozen even though all of my overheads have increased , I struggle to survive even with the basics of life. You get no thanks for working so hard only criticism, it’s truly miserable . Management have their favourites usually those that supply gossip concerning their work colleagues , it feels like we have regressed to Victorian working conditions . I am genuinely a really hard worker and not generally a negative person but I can’t not speak out any longer , enough is enough

Honestly Boots doesn't even deserve one star! Please avoid making any online orders with Boots especially prestigious items such as perfumes! I had placed an order for a one million perfume along with FCUK gift set and two deaodrants. I received everything apart from the One million perfume! On contacting customer service, they said they will investigate and it will take 5-10 days. I kept on waiting for a refund but at last they refused! They said their investigations show the perfume was packed? However here I the customer did not receive it?! My parcel did not have the perfume in it but Boots did not care. They literally have kept my money to increase their profits. Pathetic company ever! Never will I ever shop again for Boots! Worst company, worst customer service!

They have got rid of all manned checkouts in Boots at Burton Upon Trent. All self serve checkouts. Unfortunately I don't agree with this, they are taking jobs away from people. Therefore I left my purchases and walked along to Superdrug who have actual people working on their tills.

For four months in a row, the Boots pharmacy (nominated in the NHS app for my repeat prescription) has repeated the following, consistently - thank Heavens I did my reorders 11-12 days before running out of pills I cannot stop taking, as I saw they were absolutely shockingly slow: - 5-8 days (!) after the prescription approval by my GP after NHS app-based reorder, the pharmacy still did not send me any SMS notification as they used to (as per my registration for this service); - when I phoned in, every time they claimed: "oh, it just came through" (??? really? via NHS app? a week? walking from my surgery to them with a paper prescription would have been 40 minutes), "not ready yet, we were about to do it for tomorrow" (miraculously, this "tomorrow" was stated whenever I phoned in, and I intentionally let it play out for above mentioned increasing number of days); - when the medication was not obtainable, they did not notify me, nor did they try to order it - the entire process only started when I phoned in and the above (let's call a spade a spade) lies were aired; - in the most recent case, they simply shrugged shoulders, told me to phone around and try to find the prescribed pills myself. To add to this, they were never reachable via the phone (sometimes bombarded them for 3-4 hours! and nobody ever picked up), so had to drive there, queue up (without any possibility of just checking status of my prescription). Their timelines are in direct and incredible violation of what is stated on NHS pages in terms of even worst case scenario of online prescription timelines through the system... When I checked these with several other (large chain and independent) pharmacies, they literally laughed off the timelines that Boots pharmacy was demonstrating (and claiming). They seem to be casually playing with people's lives, plus repeatedly using falsehoods that are ludicrous. To compare this with the experience of having to find another pharmacy for that prescription: they solved it the same day! To compare them with my current pharmacy I nominated after I had enough of Boots lies & delays: the very same day that my GP approved the reorder, it reached them and they already prepared it for me to collect. Amazing, isn't it?

Total lack of customer care, contacted them several times via email and all you get is a case reference number, nothing is ever done - don't even go there trying to use the telephone!

Our local Ammanford Boots rudely made the queue of customers wait to purchase items due to the only two staff present who were concentrating on the prescriptions...fed up of waiting up to 10 minutes we left without buying and were pleased to purchase the very same items at a discount store nearby at nearly half the price....Thank you Boots and Bye bye

Placed an on line order with confirmation that delivery would be on or before 21/12/2022 and that I would receive Confirmation of dispatch prior , no notification of despatch. On 23/12/2012, unable to contact boots by phone or chat , on line robot useless , raised a complaint via Resolver which seems to be a complaints handing service. In all worst service ever, if I don’t get a response in the next few days will hand over to my credit card to resolve

This company does not deserve even the 1 star! Horrible customer service, virtual assistant is useless, you get no tracking number for your order, you have to wait hours on the phone to speak to a customer adviser who is clueless, as is the staff in their stores! They wont respond to emails. Now blaming royal mail for their own incompetency! And wont refund customers' hard earned money to enable them shop elsewhere, asking people to wait 9 days is ridiculous!.I ordered on the 1st of December and still do not know where my order is. Beware of this company, especially at Christmas!

I never got the order I made. It is a month now, and I have never received a refund or even a new product until now. This company is a joke. I never will buy or not recommend it.

Emailed to say two items were missing from my order, no reply apart from the computer generated one. Emailed again same thing. Tried to ask virtual chat and was told couldn’t help me and gave me a phone number to ring. Rung this number four times and was left listening to horrendous music each time for fifteen minutes. I have ordered several hundred pounds of things in the past from Boots will not do so again. After sales customer service is dreadful as you cannot speak to anyone or get a reply by email.

The worst customer care I have ever received. I purchased an item online and had to return it two days later. I went into Boots branch in Mold, Flintshire and had to wait ages because they were not sure how to refund item. Two colleagues trying to figure out how to process refund. Three weeks later and refund hasn't gone through. I was told by customer service today, when I phoned, that I now have to make a long journey back to the store to go through the whole procedure again. I WILL NOT BE BUYING FROM BOOTS AGAIN . . EVER! It would be great if they would pick up the phone in the Mold branch, but they never do. The store should be closed as it is not fit for purpose.

I purchased a product and used a discount code which was accepted at the time of purchase. Later Boots cancelled my order claiming that the product was out of stock.. Not long after my order had been cancelled miraculously they were back in stock and discount codes were no longer valid. It seems clear to me that this was just a move on their part not to honour the discount code. this is not honourable practice, why advertise a discount code and then withdraw it?

I have always given Boots Lanark excellent reviews. Today was my first time going out since December and the only shop I was visiting was Boots. I had accrued points as I had bought electric toothbrushes online. I was served by a very off handed gentleman think he was the chemist. I have always had my points card put into the machine by a staff member. I put it into the machine as I would have put in a Debit Card. He kept saying chip up which I assumed he meant at the top of the card with the boots logo on the front. Eventually I managed to get it right. I was very apprehensive being amongst people as I had not been out for so long. I am in my 70's and have never been spoken to like this in Boots. He maybe wasn't used to dealing with the Public. Had I my confidence back I would have told him to keep the goods. ''

Shocking customer services. My £85 parcel did not arrive, I made several e-mails and phone calls , which you need the patience of a saint to get through, to eventually be told they will do no more about it implying I have the parcel and am lying! The manager at the local Royal Mail sorting office has even messaged them to say it was their mistake as it has been delivered to the wrong address. They really just don’t care! Don’t know where to go from here, perhaps it’s a police matter?

My mother’s medication was not delivered, kept telling the carers it would be tomorrow, then tomorrow, then tomorrow again. Still not arrived. She is without her medication and will be for 24 hours by the morning. She is 90, needs heart medication and anti depressants along with 7other things. Other people in the complex are also without, they are endangering lives.

Have just received my first on line order from Boots. Unfortunately, the items that were delivered were not ordered by me. To make matters worse, my actual order is listed on my account as "collected". In addition, I can't reach anyone on the customer service line for assistance. Right now I would give Boots minus points if I could.
