Customer services

Contacted customer services concerning a recent purchase. Both people I spoke to regarding my concerns were very unhelpful and did not listen to my view. Will not be shopping with them again.
Both people I spoke to said that they would pass on my concerns and I would receive a call back. Obviously this has not happened as I wanted the opportunity to explain to someone who would listen to my concerns. This has just convinced me even more that there is a lack of care at your customer services.

Shady practices

Shady practices. They ask you to review products but then do not publish the reviews if the rating is particularly low! Hence most (or all) of the products on their website have artificially high ratings.

Terrible experience with very unhelpful customer service agent. Royal Mail messed up the delivery, as the company I purchased from you request Royal Mail to return the package. But you didn’t. £35 down the drain, not recommended!!!

Packaging and sustainability claims don’t match reality


I’ve been a loyal Holland & Barrett customer partly because I believed the company’s environmental values matched mine. Two recent orders changed that.
Both arrived the same day, in identically sized boxes. One held a single 30ml serum, packed with a large volume of paper filler, and required me to be home to sign for a courier delivery. The other, same size box, held around ten products packed efficiently with minimal filler.
I’d been told the serum was delayed by one day. Rather than holding the full order and shipping it together, which the second box shows was entirely possible, it was sent separately: an extra box, a significant amount of packaging waste, and a second signed delivery, all to save one day. And I actually received both boxes on the same day.
Customer service replied quickly and by name both times, which I appreciated. But when I raised that I chose this company for its environmental positioning, that point went unaddressed the first time, and the second reply was upfront that individual feedback doesn’t lead to guaranteed policy change. Compensation offered was 300 loyalty points, not a refund or credit for the actual waste created.
If sustainability is core to this brand, packaging and shipping practices need to reflect that, especially for single small item orders that could easily use letterbox sized packaging instead of a full box and courier delivery

Terrible customer service

I am a regular customer at the Watford Store and have never had any cause for complaint in the past. To the contrary, staff have always been pleasant and welcoming in my experience.

On this occasion, I arrived with a view to purchasing some organic cranberry juice. I noticed the price had been reduced on this particular product and I spoke to two female members of staff as I was concerned the item may have been discontinued with H&B.

The two staff members reassured me that the product was still likely to be available online and proceeded to explain the click and collect options should I wish to place an order in the future.

I then proceeded to select two further items besides the till before I was served by another female member of staff at that till.

Unfortunately, I was not in possession if a carrier bag at the time and requested a bag which could withstand the weight of my purchase. I was told there were no bags available other than the fabric tote bags that were placed behind her.

I again asked if there were any alternative bags available and subsequently told that I could be provided with two paper bags instead. I agreed to this yet surprised as to why there appeared to be an urge to secure the sale of a more expensive tote bag after initially suggesting there weren't any other bags available!

Nevertheless, I was asked how my H&B account was normally identified and I proceeded to enter my email address on the screen. I asked if there were any points accrued that could be used following my last purchase and was emphatically told there weren't any!

I was surprised at this, given that my last purchase should have accrued something towards my most recent purchase. The staff member was unresponsive and unhelpful to my query. Nevertheless after making payment, I left the store unhappy as I normally find staff members within the store to being far more receptive to customer service than this particular staff member.

I then spoke with a very helpful member of staff called Wendy from the customer services team whom kindly logged the matter as a complaint. However, I also agreed to email the customer services team with details of my complaint for Wendy to attach to the information she had logged.

I emailed the customer services team but did not receive any response despite the 48 hours response time.

I attempted to chase this up with the customer services team only to be told that no email had been received from me. I was sent an email from H&B and replied with details of my complaint - again which hadn't been received.

I sent my email a total of 4 times none of which had been received!

I then spoke with an advisor via the online chat and pasted my complaint in a number of small paragraphs given the restricted word count.

I requested an emailed copy of the chat and was assured it would be sent to me upon closing the chat. As a result, I did not receive a transcript.

I then chased this up with customer services and was told the advisor was on their break and the transcript would be sent after they had come out of the complaint.

Further attempts to obtain this were unsuccessful despite being assured I would receive the transcript. Eventually customer services informed me that they were unable to provide the chat and had escalated the issue with customer services.

Order no: 9030638173

Very disappointed. The quinoa contained a large amount of SAND, GRIT, DIRT and dark particles that appeared to be STONES. I spent around 30 minutes rinsing it and still could not make it feel suitable to eat. I had to order food instead because my dinner was unusable.

I have requested a refund of £9.24 and sent images by email. If required, please arrange collection from my home.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be of satisfactory quality, safe and fit for purpose. This product does not meet those requirements due to the amount of grit, sand sediment and particles present.

I have purchased over 10 packs of quinoa from Waitrose previously and never experienced this issue. I will be returning to them as this experience has been extremely disappointing.

Just went to order some honey in to my local store which said it was free. Decided to use the £2 worth of points that I had towards the cost. The screen then changed to £1.99 to collect. Didn't bother. Feels like a rip off to me.

Hello Alison,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear this caused frustration.

Our Click & Collect service costs £1.99, or is free when the order total is over £5 after any discounts or points have been applied. In this case, using your £2 worth of points brought the order total below the free collection threshold, which is why the £1.99 charge was added.

We appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with the relevant team.

Great Help

I usually used H&B stores located at Canary Wharf, both branches in the shopping centre.
The staff are usually on hand to assist and give good advice.
