I have arrived to Boots in Castle Quay in Banbury at 14:01 and asked this young ladie in green jumper and wearing eye glasses for a prescription. The young lady told me that itwas not ready and that it would take a few hours to be ready. I went back homme and as I was entering the house at around 14:30 a message arrived on my mobile telling me the prescription was ready. I went back to boots and on my arrival the young lady mentioned above was having a lough with other staff as on the previous time and a man with white coloured hair was at the counter. I told him that his colleague told me it would be ready only in a few hours and he became rude and harrogant anf throw the medicines at me. Clearly the staff at this farmacy boots store have a culture of being rude, harrogant and desrespecting the custmers for no reason. As I told the white hair coloured man, his colleague should have asked me to wait and not telling me that it would take a few hours when in fact it took a few minutes. As for this white coloured hair man he should have appologised for what she did but instead he behaved in the most incompetent way by becoming rude, harrogant and threw the medicines bag at me. It was the first time they behaved that way, another one will not be tolerated as I will move to another farmacy. This mans behaviour was also a very bad example for the young lady, he clearly showed that hge is not fit for the job and should not be dealing with public.

Boots Ireland has cancelled my Christmas, I ordered online the entirety of my Christmas presents for family and friends, with a delivery date of December 23rd. Why the hell take Christmas orders if you can’t guarantee them for Christmas ?? I have tried emails phone calls and even store visits, but no reply from anyone, nor did anyone in store care. In the end the only people that could give me answers were a post, who confirmed the order as of today Christmas Eve, hasn’t even been posted by Boots. So you took my money for Christmas presents and literally couldn’t be bothered even to tell me, answer a phone call or reply to an email that they wouldn’t be here for Christmas. If I could give no stars for this I would. Absolutely devastated and let down. I’ll never use or recommend boots to anyone ever again.

Ordered 18th December for collection 23rd December. Dispatched but not delivered to store 24th December. No email sent about a delay. No remedial action from customer services. No promised call back from customer services. Same problem I encountered in August and assuming it’s another theft from the depot., Wasted Christmas Eve morning trying to speak to someone, both in store and online. Dreadful customer service again. Expect compensation this time.

Ordered well in advance for Christmas. It's now the 23rd no correspondence from them, called their 'help' centre (Ai annoyance) to be told they couldn't call the store. Asked for a refund and they processed a replacement. Called again (another 10mins of Ai and menus) only to be told in a jolly manner it'll be refunded and not replaced. Absolute joke, I won't trust these clowns with orders at Christmas again.

Ordered a high value package of items in October which came opened with one item missing,also not one day delivery as I paid for. Despite sending pictures within 10mins of receipt proving damage and reporting missing item they have repeatedly declined my claim. I am £130 out of pocket and they wont listen to me, head office are no help and are rude and incompetent, would it be ok if I went into their store and walked out with an item of the same value without paying of course it wouldnt. I am going to log with trading standards, action for fraud and small claims court. Absolutely disgraceful I will never shop with them again,research online and you will find loads of customers are having the same problem !!!!

So I started my complaints direct with boots in August in numerous ways! Even given a complaints number. No one responded. 2 months later I use Resolver to complain and again 2 months passed and no response. Left review on Trust Pilot and their response was unbelievable - stating I should try all those methods of contact all over again!!!!! Boots you are shameful.

I am both very angry and disappointed at the Boots on-line ordering system. I have twice tried over two days (Friday 28th November and Saturday 29th November) to place an order but my payment was refused on both occasions. I phoned the customer service department to ask why but they had no idea for the reason, only suggesting that I re-enter my address details and that there must be a glitch on your system; on the second occasion I was told the reason might be that I was spending (trying to!) more than usual and that I would now be locked out of my account for 72 hours and to try again then. I wanted to take advantage of the Black Friday offers but by then the expiry date for the offer would have passed and despite you having a record of my attempt to place an order the offers would not be available. On this call I was also informed that my click and collect order would not be ready until Monday 8th December which was too late as some items were for presents to be given on the previous weekend. My husband has now opened his own account with Advantage card and he was now able to order the items on my behalf on Sunday 30th November using two orders. He has already been notified that these are both ready for collection having been told by your helpdesk they would not be available before 8th December. Having placed his order my husband has already received texts to say that the order was ready for collection. What is wrong with your system? In the course of my phone calls I tried to find whether my address for my Advantage card was correct and how to alter my credit card details as you appeared to have an out-of-date card on your system. None of your assistants could help and I could find no way to correct this on your web-site. Please address these issues. To add insult to injury, the two failed orders appeared on my credit card statement as paid even though your system would not allow me to order the goods and your assistants told me that the payments had been declined. An IMMMEDIATE credit is required.

1/5 — Missing Items & No Resolution My order 779944541 arrived missing items worth £153.66, and Boots have refused to refund me. They could not provide any photographic proof of delivery but still rejected my claim. I’ve been left out of pocket with no support from customer service. Very disappointed.

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.
