Boots failed to deliver my order and the customer service operative Josh was unable to tell me where my order was, all he had/could confirm was my order date 14/12/18. Josh was also unable to offer me any assurances regarding a reorder ie if I reordered my item would this reach its requested destination for me to pick up before Christmas?! They lost my order without apology. Whilst on the phone to Josh I agreed to a reorder but during the call between Josh and myself, Boots ran out of their online stocks so he now couldn't order me a replacement item!! I requested that Josh call the only store in Maidstone that still had the item on their shelves after much persuasion he agreed. So Josh was supposed to be calling the store to reserve the item in King Street boots, the Fremlin Walk store had sold the item off their shelves as Josh had informed me earlier during our call. However Josh chose to leave me literally hanging on the phone while he just refunded me the money back on my card instead of calling the store as we had agreed. The only reason I knew that he had refunded me was an automated refund message to my phone. The whole call took over an hour and 15 minutes of my time and I had to end the call, no one came back on the line. Since then, I have been unable to reach King Street boots via their direct store number having tried to call the multiple times, as I would like to see if they have the item still on their shelves so I can then reserve the item for me to pick up. In a nutshell, Boots Customer service is totally rubbish. All Josh wanted to do was get me off the phone by offering me a refund. I didn't want a refund, I wanted the item I ordered. Their online service has collapsed purely due to Christmas. Imagine that Boots the Chemist is not ready for the increased pressure that Christmas brings. Unacceptable that a huge company is unable to cope with extra customer traffic because of Christmas, basically no contingency plans have been put in place to ensure exceptional customer service at a time of the year when all of us want to give our loved ones a special Christmas to show them we care. I will never order online with Boots again.

Ordered 3 gifts on 9th Nov for collection on 13th (still don't have them on 19th) as I could easily pick up the order from the shop on that day and a few subsequent days. Heard nothing on the 13th so walked over and asked. Nothing there, but told I could call shop to check or after 48 hours call customer services. I was disappointed that I received no email telling me what was happening with my order and that all responsibility to chase it was with me. After several calls and store visits and a 30 min call to customer services (15 mins to pick up and then around 10 mins on hold) my missing item was reordered and I was assured it would be there the next day. I rang and it wasn't and customer services couldn't tell me where it was and when it would be delivered. So now I have another day where I have to call boots again, and if it arrives pay the costs of travelling into cambridge city on a day where I have no other reason to go. I would not recommend using Boots online as although staff are friendly, the system is so poor that no-one knows where the products being delivered are.

Ordered a product that was supposedly in stock, then ordered another item to receive free delivery. Only received other item not no 7 set, when I contacted Boots they stated no 7 gift set out of stock and will receive a refund. Extremely unhappy about this. Now I have to wait up to 7 days to receive a refund for product which was clearly out of stock when they took my money.

Went to the Upton park store and was greeted by Belash! Very confident and friendly had no hesitation in helping me out with my enquiries. Need more staff like him even though it got busy he made time with all customers with the same attitude... Thanks for the professional service.

Click and collect order split into 3 parcels. 2 arrived late and third not at all. Shop refused to allow me to take the two parcels until I had returned to the store the next day and insisted. The third parcel, with the most expensive products in it, never arrived. I was instructed to call Boots myself. After a long wait the agent was helpful but I had to tell her what was missing from the order as it seemed that she couldn't access it on line. Two stars awarded because of her help. So after 3 visits to Boots I eventually got my order.

Product Warning! I have used No7 stay perfect lip lacquer, colour Nectar for years. It has taken me weeks to whittle down what is causing my lips to blister and burn but it is this without any doubt as I have tried it on my friend & my husband (!) who had the same reaction. Boots just sent a standard reply & haven’t asked for it back to test it so are either aware or are not taking it seriously but they must have had other complaints - it has to be a batch fault. Poor service Boots! I can’t get a refund in store as have not kept the receipt. I’ll be avoiding No.7 from now on as this was so distressing - standards have clearly slipped.

My order supposed to arrive by 14th of December. Was waiting full day and guess what...it never came...next morning received message from delivery company that it will be delivered till 19.00 (second day of waiting, happy days). Eventually some guy ring a door bell and by the time i came downstairs he was gluing a sticker on a door....He handed me small bag saying that it’s my delivery. When i told him that it should be much bigger and suppose to arrive yesterday, he replayed that it 1 of 2 and he have no second one, and I should be grateful that he delivered it on Sat and I might get second part by Monday. Tracking number wouldn't show any useful information, except that it’s been dispatched. Long story short: Boots selected delivery company without giving any other option to customers. That's why i think they should be responsible for delivery and deal with delivery company on their behalf. But it seems like boot does not want to take any responsibility for deliveries and they let you deal with it on your own...

I paid extra for next day delivery (ordered 3:00pm) and have waited in all day. It is now 7:00pm and I have received an update on my order that it is to be delivered in 3 days! I won't be home to collect my order then so have requested a refund.

Booked a private flue vaccination via your online booking system for Friday 14/12/18 at 09:00. Arrived at South Molton store in Devon at 08:55. Staff stated that I should not have been allowed to book on line and that there was no Flu Vaccination for me. They tried to call head office in Nottingham but no answer. They referred me to a competing Chemist within the town and I went there. Staff were very stressed, un-friendly and lacked care. Dreadful customer service and systems do not work.

Hi There My Name is Nanette Wadey On Sunday December 9th I went into the Bognor Regis Branch and ordered and paid £30.00 for the Liz Earl gift Set as it was on special offer. As there was none available they ordered it for next day delivery to your Rustington Branch. I went to that branch several times this week only to find out that my order had not been and would not be delivered. Although I have had a refund it was extremely irritating and inconvenient to visit the branch several times to no avail. I therefore will not be recommending Boots to any of my friends as this was a very frustrating episode.

Boots will be the next high street retailer complaining "trading is tough and we can't compete with the likes of Amazon". Well instead of moaning they need to fix their online trading system and warehouse so that customers receive their orders on time and in good condition. It's not hard to do and it's a great way to retain customers rather than driving them away never to use you again. Product ordered, had to pay for delivery which arrived 5 days later despite the online system suggesting the parcel was out for delivery 3 days earlier. Good totally trashed. Who in the warehouse things that a plastic shipping bag is suitable packaging for a set of loose toiletries and cosmetics. Come on. Emailed customer services straight away, 4 days later no response. Facebook Messenger twice, nothing. Today on hold on phone for 20 mins, no answer. Boots no doubt pays their head of online a ridiculous salary for running a total shambles. The way to compete with Amazon is to copy way they do. Easy ordering, rapid cheap and reliable delivery and fantastic backup when things go wrong. Come on, get your act together Boots.

Will never use boots online again, Placed an order in November it still hasn't arrived. Stupidly placed another order for store collection this time and that hasn't arrived in store. When contacted customer service was told basically to claim a refund and reorder although half the things I had ordered and paid for were no longer in stock and the aftershave I ordered is now at full price and I would have to pay full price now. Would not recommend Boots.com to anyone for one order not to be delivered fair enough it happens but for two of my orders to not arrive disgusting especially when these are gifts for people. If I could give them no stars I would and there customer service staff need to go on training courses on how to deal with customers.

I’ve handed in or collected prescriptions from local Boots Pontypridd a few times but generally disappointed with service ! An example this week I went in to collect 1 item which should take no time and hand in another. I was 1st to arrive at counter but I was not even acknowledged or a word such as Be with you shortly There were no less than 4 employees fussing checking undoing boxes as tho I wasnt there! After st least 5 min I tried to say something. Ignored. So I said Can you please help I have a bus to catch which was true! No apology one lady looked behind and immediately found my pre packed prrscription ( 5 seconds) and took my new script from me. Not in stock so I had to mention a pick up day! Floor staff have been generally helpful when I need a product hence 2*

I asked at the perfume counter for a recommendation for ‘green’ perfumes. The assistant asked if I meant green in colour! She said she had never heard of perfume described as ‘green’. I told her it was a classic description of a scent like floral or mossy. She said no, they didn’t have anything like that and treated me to a look that said ‘pathetic old nutter’. I could forgive that, partly because she was French but what I couldn’t forgive was the good old moany gossip she had with her mates as I walked away. I went to John Lewis and had a good old laugh with the assistant there and happily gave them my £100 instead. Boots: train your perfumery staff in, er, well, perfume, and not to be rude to customers.

I went into my local Boots branch today (Wisbech, Horsefair) and was served by a very helpful young lady - it says on the receipt Monika. She was helpful without being pushy, pleasant and professional - her English was perfect. Well done Boots for employing such a pleasant, competant and efficient person.
