I visited Boots in Hayle in Cornwall on 19th October at 3.30 for an appointment with your optician. I would like to express my appreciation for the attention and professionalism of the gentleman who tested my eyes. Unfortunately I did not get his name but I am sure, based on the details I have given, he can be identified and this message passed on. Regards Annie Jackson

I visited Boots in Main Street, Rutherglen this morning and couldn't have had any better service from the assistant, Alyssa. I had a problem with my advantage card points not adding on and she took her time to help and resolve the problem. This young girl is an asset to your company. Please say thanks to her from me.

Absolutely terrible customer service in a pandemic. I came early in the morning for a walk in vaccine anticipating a queue, only to be told to come back at 3pm when they would be administering the pzifer vaccine. I came back at 3pm only to be told to leave and return later because they were to busy and prioritising appointments. I wasn’t even told sorry for the inconvinience or anything like that. You should state that before people leave there home on their day off on a saturday!!!!

I just wanted to say how a good customer experience at a shop makes all the difference. I was having a bad teary day and I was looking for some cream to get rid of my wrinkles! Daniella from the Boots store in The Galleries in Bristol was absolutely fantastic . Not only was she professional and efficient but she seem to care about my budget and was very honest also. She also made me feel very special and was so empathetic. By the end of my visit, not only did I purchase something more expensive because she explained it well and wasn’t pushy but I also felt happy by the time I left. I ended up buying my new product and some samples too. She certainly made my day. Staff like this are hard fo come by and she should be given a promotion ! Jessica Bell

One star as it’s the lowest available. Always have problems with pharmacy at Charlton. They never let me know when my prescription is ready. Try phoning them and you will never get an answer. It’s a bus journey that is wasted if it’s not ready.

Tried to checkout to no avail,despite being a previous regular customer. System didn't like my password, saying an email would be sent to me so I could reset it, but still waiting now! Think I will go elsewhere as they obviously don't want my custom!

I order my perscription on line which is confirmed and I collect from the pharmacy, for years they intermittently could not find my perscription in store or denied they had received it causing frustration and time wasted. This improved over the past year. Now I am not being text to say my perscription is ready because it is neglected 😩, last time I waited a week and when I went in the branch it was “waiting approval “ , my last perscription was approved on the 26 Sep, today is the 7th Oct and still my perscription is not ready! I emailed Boots customer service twice in the past 4 days to identify the cause plus correct and predictably they are not responding although I have a case number. My GP practice will only issue monthly repeat prescriptions so I ran out of medication a week ago. This is very bad of Boots pharmacy! I went with Boots because I thought they were reputable they proved to have poor transactional process instead for YEARS! On the plus side they have forced me to do what I should of done years ago and that is register with a pharmacy that has a high ranking (unlike Boots) who deliver “Direct” , goodbye Boots 🥾

Bought Boots PCR test needed result within 72 hrs of departure, result arrived 12 hrs after departure. No customer service at Boots no response from Royal Mail. Additioal emergency PCR test £129 lost day from work, so much stress and to rub salt into the wound Boots passing the buck, why don't they accept responsibility and learn from the mistakes, only chose Boots because I thought they were a professional reputable Company. Totally the opposite, incompetent and terrible customer experience.

Boots Chemist - Craigleith, Edinburgh I had lost my Boots advantage Card. All the chemists were sending me from pillar to post. Couldn't get through to Boots customer Service by phone at all. Tried to request a new card online but it was not transferring points from old card to new card. I kept getting told only way was to phone. Frustrated I went into Boots at Craigleith, Edinburgh today. The girl at the pay counter was helpful and got Brian Macher to help me. Brian was so helpful and resolved the problem. I now have a new card, points transferred and happy. Thank you Brian for your excellent customer care - very much appreciated. Thanks again.

Ordered perfume online it came with a free backpack, came this morning with no backpack. Phoned to complain they said the bag was unavailable. Totally disgusted as when I ordered the backpack was included.

Ordered online at Boots.com put items in my basket entered my collection point and paid, what happened next was shocking!....No confirmation of Order, items still in the basket and £50-89 taken! I have tried calling customer services left on hold for over half an hour, emailed them and still waiting for a reply. Please Beware! I may well have lost my money due to this, as there is No Order number either to prove I paid. Shocking!!

Decided to order early for Christmas. Used Boots online system. Couldn’t decide on part of order so Boots system suggested hold part of your order hear whilst you check out other gifts. Followed their instructions and then decide to go ahead with order as didn’t find anything I would rather buy. Clicked the button to reinstate my order as before. Unknown to me the system reduced the number of items from 2 to 1. As soon as the order was confirmed I informed them that their system had in fact made an error which meant I did not receive my free item. In fairness customer services replied fairly quickly but said unable to change the order even though their system was at fault. Maybe this is how they tempt customers to get a free item then their system deletes it so you pay the full price anyway. Very disappointed with Boots! A poor way to treat customers. My advice is to shop elsewhere.

Boots used to be the go to chemist. Staff were friendly and helpful but a few years ago there was an obvious decline in it’s customer service..I think it was taken over. Our local Oxted branch has certainly followed this trend and although I am sure some of the seemingly skeleton staff are lovely etc the last couple of times I have shopped there I have encountered staff who were just plain rude…one was the pharmacist! Fortunately we have another chemist in the town which, although doesn’t carry as many lines, all the staff are friendly!!

I think Boots has to be one of the worst pharmacies I've ever used. From their Area Manager Michelle Sheasby, who ignores emails (she repeatedly avoided giving me any information on their review sites and has tried to duck the service failings at Boots), to their awful pharmacies that disregard their duties to properly record medication when distributing it (leaving your team to pick it up), to this awful software called OMNICELL, that they peddle to care homes, that their pharmacists don't know how to use and that is slow, clunky and dangerous. This is a company that puts elderly people at risk I strongly advise anyone in Social Care considering using Boots to stay far away. Watch out for those contracts too, they will fail to fulfil their contractual agreements but try to tie you up in ridiculous breakcosts. Awful company. Run a mile. Lloyds was better. I think most pharmacies are. And we are a care home group so actually have the resources to overcome Boots' shortcomings

I went to Boots Opticans in Bramhall Cheshire. Had eye test. Told had another cataract now on other eye Collected glasses from larger Boots Handforth Dean. That was March 2021. Phoned May 21 saying new glasses no better at all and need retest. Very rude member of staff on phone.She informed me no appts for 3 mths. No offer of retest or when I said I had visual disturbance when drive ,some times walking . Finally went Boots Handforth Dean July thinking perhaps need cateracts done as week by week eyes were getting worse especially left eye. Had large macular Hole and dense cataract in right eye. Contacted Boots Bramhall as was sent to The Royal Eye Hospital Manchester for triage needing urgent surgery. franchise owner and his wife consistently delayed sending my scans giving one excuse after another. That was beginning of August 21. the franchise owner ignores all emails from me and even from the Director of Customer Services for Boots. At no time did the Ophthmologist who did the test send me down the NHS clearly defined pathway. Do not have your eyes tested at this branch who refuse no matter how politely requested by me or my consultant give all prevalent information. I will never ever use Boots shops or Opticans ever again. Use your local independent one and avoid paying £8.450 out of pension to have a vital eye operation done.If retested as requested in May would have been picked up .Absolutely disgraceful Boots Bramhall !!!!!!!!!

I have ordered Vitamin D3 for my children (order no 427196643) online. Unfortunately postman left it on my door step in one of the hottest days of the year and I have called customer services to tell them about it. As Vitamin D3 cannot be stored in direct sunlight I was told to take it to store to get it exchanged. My wife visited Halifax store to exchange the items. Unfortunately she was told that this cannot be done as order was made via boots.com and therefore order needs to be returned and money refunded. Reluctantly she agreed as she was told by a staff that there is no other option. I have placed another 2 orders for the same items and both of them got cancelled by boots.com with reason being that I have too many items, where I do not have any. I contacted customers services again to complain and I was told that nothing can be done and that Halifax store manager will call me to resolve the issue. I received a phone call from Natasha who explained to me that she cannot do anthing and that she contacted customer services who can place the order for me . I was also told that I will be contacted by them. Natasha also said that she will call me to check the progress. I have been waiting 2 days and no one contacted me so I had to call customer services number of times where the waiting time was 40 min average.I was told that there are no notes about store manager contacting them and that they don’t have an override and cannot place my order and I was sent to store to purchase the vitamins. I found all that situation extremely stressful, unprofessional and disappointing . I would have never thought that company such as Boots will have so poor customer service. Looks like both departments were trying to get rid of me without taking a ownership of the case. I have complained about the service received in Boots branch in Halifax as well as on the phone with Customer Services to the executive office which should investigate the matter and sort the issue but of course bad service from both sides no one took a leadership to solve the issue. I have tried again today to order the vitamin D and order has been cancelled again by Boots. I have rung them and stayed an hour and half on phone with no solution or solving the issue.

BOYCOTT BOOTS Boots non delivery of a PCR Day 2 test ruined my holiday. ZERO customer service (an employee admitted they often shut down phone lines), 2 days wasted trying to follow up. No reply to letter sent registered mail to CEO. No refunds for non delivered tests (at £75 each!!!) SCANDALOUS, UNETHICAL,CRIMINAL. When a test finally arrived - after the government deadline - I administered it but could not activate it on Boots site - which was not functioning. NOT ONE WORD OF APOLOGY FROM BOOTS

Ordered a day 2 test when arrived to UK to get through my letterbox and apparently it’s been delivered to somewhere else post office not even near me. They said they won’t refund anything and here I am, not being tested 15 days after my arrival in UK. THEY ARE SOOO UNPROFESSIONAL AND IRRESPONSIBLE COMPANY. Companies like this are the responsible of what we are going through now.
