In terms of product knowledge and customer service, Boots in Paddington Station are useless! I needed an emergency supply of hearing aid batteries, but, when I showed the assistant the existing battery and its packaging, I was told that they didn't know if their own-brand batteies were compatible, and that I should look online, where it would also be cheaper...!

I had a terrible experience trying to link the app with my advantage card. Phoned the Boots central number. The first member of staff was totally useless. I kept having to repeat my card number then he put me back in the queue AGAIN rather than on hold. I felt he was either drunk or on drugs. I've now been told I've lost all my points as I'd not used the card in over a year (a lie). Boots was where I shopped for Xmas gifts. No more. Plus the fragrances are cheaper in the Fragrance Shop - even using the Boots offers! No more. This customer has had enough.

Received an offer via email for instore use, this offer showed a clock counting down as the offer was only available for 1 day. Went into store after work, queued at till where only self service was available. Had a problem with my Advantage Card not being recognised. Staff member informed me offer finished at 6pm and it was now 6.10pm. Unfortunately had no signal on my phone at the time but extremely disappointed to get home and see the offer/clock still showing as available. I have contacted customer services by email and can only assume it is AI as the response was completely irrelevant to my issue. A complete waste of time attending the store in the first place and bothering to email a complaint. Businesses like this do not deserve any customers.

Appalling customer service from Boots concerning a faulty Soap and Glory candle that did not burn as it should and left half the was. I was disgusted the way I was treated, It was suggested by a manager to look how to burn a candle more effectively. Although I sent photos proving the incident, It was not good enough and they have ignored my complaint because I no longer have the product. Generally we have to provide photos of which I did but not good enough. I think ist is disgusting and also disgusting that I am severely sight impaired and sent my emails in large font, Responses did not come back the in same font. This is being typed up for me! Unable to download photos sadly, Not working

Extremely disappointing customer service. Responses slow and unhelpful, In a chain of 10 emails and nowhere near a resolution still. They sent me a tube of toothpaste instead of my order 769357245 and refusing to refund me or send the correct order. Been around 2 weeks. No one should have to chase a reputable company like this to rectify a mistake they have made. It’s Boots loss - I spend thousands of pounds per year there and will now shop elsewhere, as they’ve made it clear if you need an issue rectified there is no resolution. Still have not received a refund or my order.

I find Boots very unhelpful and difficult , especially Salisbury branch, they somehow assumed the role of 'policing' when buying a basic medicine off the shelf. It has become a norm for them to tell me the dosage of Ibuprofen i can take, i guess they see it as a good customer service, but I have to explain myself why i buy two boxes of Ibuprofen or two boxes of Kwells . However, when I really need their help, they had no knowledge and no wish to help in any way. Just as an example, one of the meds my husband had for after cancer treatment had manufacturer issues, and when i asked Boots staff what that means and explain that to me, their answer was they do not know, as if my question was not related to the pharma. I just find Boots staff patronising and unhelpful.

I've ordered presents for my brothers birthday. I didn't get my order, when contacted boots, I've been informed that its been delivered and they cant do anything about it. So they care about their customers soo much that as soon as anything goes wrong, they leave you out of pocket and won't help you with the issue. This is unacceptable and frustrating as now im out of pocket and no goods. Please becareful when ordering as this could be you in the future.

Order NOT received and customer service RUDE Order has been marked as delivered when I wasnt home. Photo shows the couriers shoe, no parcel and not at my door either. I have not received my order from Boots. I have called customer services and they say they are investigating with royal mail. But are unwilling to reship or refund me during this time. This is unacceptable, my contract was between myself and boots and I know my rights. Customer service are awful, they will not let you speak to a manager, they speak to you like you're something off the bottom of their shoe. They dont care at all and won't sort out the issues. When you dont accept that you have to wait 21 days, they just hang up on you. I do not have to wait 21 days for royalmail to get back to boots. Im absolutely appalled by this company. I certainly will not be ordering online from them again. I will be contacting trading standards and the legal ombudsman and if I do not hear back from Boots within the next few days, I will also instruct my payment provider to do a chargeback

Boots at Merseyway Stockport is completely useless in everything they do including trying to ring as can take an hour before getting through to them . BOOKED a FLU jab last year & again this year September 2025 & both cancelled a couple of hours before the appointment with a poor excuse !! Wasted my time . Close the place down if you can't run it properly . Won't be going there again.

I had bad experience with the staffs of boots Alwadha mall branch, I just made a phone call and asked about a medicine that I regularly purchasing in there, the first person who answered the call said that he will check the medicine and call back, but he didn't, and then I called again and explained the scenario to the second person , he was very aggressive and said "we are not robot here come and check" his name was mohammad. about 7.15 pm on 11th September, 2025.

Placed an order. Never even attempted delivery as Royal Mail returned it to sender for bad packaging. Asked for my order to be replaced. They apparently can’t do that. They can take my money and hold it up to 14 when it’s their fault I haven’t even received the parcel. Customer service is terrible

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received at Boots Kings Heath Birmingham on 27th August. I was near the pharmacy counter with a question about a product. A member of staff had just finished serving a customer, but instead of acknowledging me or asking if I needed help, she walked away and went to serve another customer at the pharmacy. I then approached another member of staff on the shop floor, Hazel, to ask about a promotional offer. To my shock, she responded with a rude tone and unprofessional attitude. If I had been a mystery shopper, Hazel would have most definitely failed, as her behaviour did not reflect the standards expected in customer service. Having worked in customer service and care for over 20 years, I can confidently say this level of service is unacceptable. Staff in retail roles should be approachable, respectful, and attentive, because customers are the reason the business exists. Sadly, this was my second bad experience at this store, and I will not be returning. I hope Boots takes action to improve recruitment and training at this branch, as staff with such poor manners and disregard for customers seriously damage the company’s reputation.

I just went to Boots pharmacy in Barry as I have a UTI. I had spoken to a Boots Pharmacy in my home town in Gloucester on Thursday afternoon, who told me to continue with sachets I had. Also to drink plenty of water & get some cranberry juice, which I did. Then was told if still have symptoms after 48 hrs to pop into any Boots while i was away, pharmacist could give me a P/x, which is what I did in Barry. But the pharmacy just said I have to much to do, can't see you today! So much for all the radio adverts I hear your Boots pharmacist are here for you, to save GP's. What a lot of rubbish, all she wanted to do was get rid of me to Tesco pharmacy in Cardiff, 10 miles away!

Placed an order on the basis of an offer emailed to me by Boots. The offer wasn't applied at check-out. Emailed customer services, but just got pointless, generic emails. They wouldn't cancel the order - told me I would have to take delivery and send it back. Boots are fine if everything goes OK, but any problems and their customer service is awful, rude and unpleasant.

What has happened to Boots? The worst customer service I have ever encountered. False advertising left me being financially disadvantaged. Hours of unanswered complaint emails over two months. Finally received a letter from a Mr Harrison admitting liability but not offering any compensation. This company offers zero customer service and their Google reviews confirm I am not alone. Their stores are tired and unstocked. I don’t think it will be long before they disappear from the market place, I will never shop here again.

Last week I visited Boots in Trowbridge with my granddaughter to PURCHASE an Essie nail varnish strengthener. This was not available on the shelf. However on leaving the aisle I noticed a shop assistant closely watching me. Whilst I realise shop lifting is on the increase I am NOT A shoplifter and do not appreciate being so closely scrutinised in this way. Shortly before entering this shop we had been to Boots Opticians where I purchased a new pair of prescription glasses so I am really not interested in stealing a varnish costing a few pounds. I am 73 years of age and will never visit this shop again.
