Problematic order, resolved eventually

I placed an order for about 10 items, a few of which were shipped from a third party seller.
The good: shipping was quick.
The bad: 2 items were missing. One from H&B, one from the third party seller.
The good: one item was replaced, the other item was refunded.
The bad: the online chat bot is quite useless for anything other the most standard issues.
The good: customer service over email was helpful and we got it all resolved.

Very happy

After reading about a supplement that would help with osteoarthritis on social media i decided to do some more research. Having found the supplement they were promoting was at an exhobitant price I looked on Holland & Barrett website and found a product that would help. Ive been taking it for just over 45 days now and my friend has said she has already noticed a difference in my walking. Very pleased with my purchase and the delivery and will definitely be ordering more.

Purchased items for home delivery

Purchased items for home delivery on the 11th June. All the items in cardboard packaging arrived damaged even ones which state they shouldn’t be used if the seal is broken. Immediately contacted the chat team (in South Africa) who offered me a measly £10 voucher on items that totalled in excess of £120 which were unusable.

I asked for a more senior member of staff to contact me, it is now 29 June and I am still waiting for action …..

THIS IS NOT AN ‘UNPROMPTED’ REVIEW IT’S IN RESPONSE TO AN EMAIL

UPDATE: I was eventually given a refund, this should have happened when I initially contacted customer support. This is the reason why I will continue to shop at H&B.

The 3 stars are for the instore staff as when visiting a few recently trying to locate a product they were friendly and helpful.

However shopping online is a completely different matter. From unclear stock availability, price changes, unclear points history where you actually do not know how you have acquired points or whether your 'rewards' automatically apply points bonuses to your orders. If you reach out to customer services they're so keen to close their 'ticket' to reach targets that you receive a quite generic response rather than one which fully addressed your concerns.Whilst waiting for a full response you will receive a 'How did we do?' survey which happens to close before you can do anything about it so therefore this is my response in review form.

Over 150 pounds bill, and I paid in the shop twice what I would pay online. Who wants to feel like a loser after shopping?

Today, I visited the Princess Street shop in Edinburgh and only realised afterwards that I paid nearly twice the online price for the same products. Since there’s no legal requirement for price matching between stores and websites, I feel manipulated and have decided to stop shopping with Holland and Barrett forever. They are also removing membership cards, which means I would have to shout my email or type it in front of everyone, all watching me on a big screen. Goodbye, HB, forever. I spent 150 pounds, but I could have bought the same items online for half that amount.

Hi Kasia,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. My name's Grace, and I'm contacting you back from Holland & Barrett's Customer Experience team.

I'm sorry to hear that you left feeling disappointed after your recent visit to our Princes Street store. I appreciate how frustrating it can be to discover that prices or promotions differ from those available online.

We always aim to make our pricing and promotional offers as clear as possible across our stores and online.

As with many retailers, some prices and promotions may vary between channels. If any unopened items from your purchase are no longer suitable, you're very welcome to return them within 30 days of purchase in line with our returns policy.

I'd also like to reassure you that our loyalty programme hasn't closed. It has evolved into H&B&Me, and your existing account remains active. I can see that you already had £6 worth of points on your account, which you can also view and manage online. While physical loyalty cards are no longer used, members can still access their account in several ways when shopping with us.

As a gesture of goodwill and to thank you for taking the time to share your experience, I've increased your points balance to £20. These points are available to spend straight away, either in store or online.

Thank you again for bringing your concerns to our attention. We really value your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve our customers' experience. I hope we'll have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Amazing Price, Amazing Service!

I went onto the Holland & Barratt website to see how much their lavender oil was and was pleasantly surprised to find they were half price so I ordered 5 which then included free delivery. Amazingly the items arrived in good packaging the very next day. It was an incredibly efficient service and one I would highly recommend.

BOGOF offers unclear

Their BOGOF offers don't make it clear that you're supposed to commit to buying two items at the point of purchase to receive the second one free. Almost like it's been done deliberately. It wouldn't take much to make this information more prominent rather than in a policy under a few layers of bureaucracy.

Hello Dan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Our Buy 1 Get 1 offer is a mix-and-match promotion, so both qualifying items would need to be added at the point of purchase for the offer to apply. We do appreciate your comments and will make sure to pass them on to the relevant teams.

We’re more than happy to assist you further, and someone will be in touch with you shortly.

Extremely disappointed

Extremely disappointed. Having paid £21.99 plus delivery of £3.99 I would have expected to receive a full tube of cream. I ordered Madeca Cream Time Reverse Zero 80ml tube that arrived yesterday. Having opened it this morning I was appalled to see the tube considerably not filled. It seems like only have full. The packaging of the box and tube is made to show bigger than the actual amount of 80ml of cream. I have taken photos of the half empty tube. Misleading and almost fraud.

Mixed

I placed an order of about 10 items, 5 of which were multiple of the same. Received 3 items, so contacted CS who immediately dispatched the missing items. The order then gets delayed, and 4 days later I get told it's been damaged in dispatch and to fill in a form requesting refund or replacement, but the form doesn't work so I contact CS who say my order has been delivered so I have to re-explain the whole saga. They dispatch replacement which ends up being 3 items. So have to contact CS again to get the final 4, which have just arrived and leaked in the box and all over my carpet. Customer Service were responsive throughout and helpful, albeit continuity of care could perhaps be improved. I've always had impeccable service from H&B so this won't put me off though!

Ordered Vitamins online

For this order, I placed the order online, since I was on holiday. I quickly found the vitamins I wanted (Two jars of Cod liver oil, with multi vitamins and one jar of Turmeric) and swiftly made payment. Whilst I was enjoying the remainder of my holiday, the order was processed and delivered to my home. When I arrived home everything was there as I had ordered. Very pleased, many thanks.
