There service of this store was…

There service of this store was terrible today!This afternoon around 17:00 hours, I paid a visit to this shop at
Burchtplein 13
3452 MJ Utrecht
I checked on the website beforehand and it showed that the closing time at 18:00 hours (and finally I found also the same closing time, displayed beside the shop door), but the sales woman said very angrily that the cashier has been closed, come back tomorrow. But automatic door was still working properly at that time (not shut down)

Please tell where can someone find right closing time. If the open time is going to be rescheduled. the store must make an announcement in advance to her customers. An investigation into the working attitude of this sales woman is really neccessory.

Dear Su,
How unfortunate that you have had this experience. I will most certainly make contact with the area manager who is responsible for this store. This is certainly not how we as a business want to act. There can always be certain circumstances in which a store has to close up in case of emergencies. But still again our apologies for the experienced inconvenience.

With kind regards Rob from customer service.

Failed once again

Once again, a failure by Holland and Barrett. I had £8.50 in credit and decided to give them one more try after they totally messed up my previous order (which took 6 weeks to sort out). Total mistake. I ordered Arginine supplements x 3 with next day delivery (£4.99 extra cost). Needless to say, they did not arrive next day because they use Hermes. When the order eventually arrived, I have one tub of arginine and 2 tubs of lysine. It took several messages to eventually get a reply. They told me they would organise replacements. A week later, still not updates regarding the replacements being dispatched. I've contacted them and told them to refund the payment. I've had enough with this godawful excuse for a company. Do not use their online service. It is incompetent beyond belief!!!!

No stars isn't an option.

No stars isn't an option.
I am about to cancel my order. I read on the evri tracking site, that they had tried to deliver but I wasn't home & no safe place to leave, these are both untrue. The robotic service is useless, was eventually advised that there were no agents on-line, if I needed further help click the link, which took me back to the beginning of the original query which was where is the parcel & why are they using such an unreliable & clearly untrustworthy courier service? 🤔 😳

Items missing from my order

Placed an order on 5th July and received the order on the 8th July but items were missing from my order. No mention of whether there is a delay or reason why items are missing. Had an email saying parcel has been delivered. Not good enough. Had to call and ask for missing items to be refunded.

Gheesappointed

A few days ago I purchased ghee butter at a store. The odour is pungent and rancid. The taste matches the odour. My mom made ghee herself and the difference is like heaven and hell, not in favour of the store-bought one. There are smells I like, some of which are utterly specific and may seem even stinky to someone’s nose, like the smell of Camembert cheese or sun-dried fish, but this ghee is obviously spoilt for whatever reason, whether it’s due to improper storage or disrupted manufacturing process.

Careful of VERY SHORT expiration dates

Be careful of VERY SHORT expiration dates when ordering online. They don’t explicitly state the date and you are lured into buying the product by seeing a VERY small discount on the original price.

Let me give a little more detail on my VERY BAD EXPERIENCE with H&B. I ordered 20 cans of some coffee they had on slight discount. All 20 cans of coffee I received expire in ONLY 5 days. I received the coffee boxed (and therefore I did NOT immediately realize the short expiration date, in order to send it straight back to them). They do NOT state the expiration date on their website, and therefore, you don’t really know what you are buying. If you like having your morning coffee expired, then H&B is a very good choice, otherwise, stay away!

EDIT: They were kind enough (as you see below) to offer to compensate me for the terrible experience. Given H&B's effort to make things right, I have changed the review from 1 star to 3 stars.

Dearest Denise Thicke,
Thank you for your review!
How unfortunate that you have had this experienced with our customer service.
I'm very sad to hear that this issue had not been resolved there and then in that store.
In my experience they should have called the customer service so they could checked the status of your parcel, and then could have offered you a solution. I'm sad to hear that this was not the case.
If you are able and willing to be so kind and send us an e-mail about the details of your experience.
That would be very helpful. In this way, we can pick this up internally and come up with a solution that will suit your experience. You can send this detailed information to: klantenservice@hollandandbarrett.com.

Expired Products

I ordered some products online from Holland and Barrett sometime in February. When it got to me after some days, to my amazement, the products were all expired and delivered through Hermes. I tried to contact them, all to no avail. I ended up throwing the products away and loosing my money. The services are bad and I am not happy with it.

I sent back a faulty product weeks ago

I sent back a faulty product weeks ago. They said they had authorised my refund but the PayPal for this purchase does not say that a refund has been requested (like other purchases). I contact Holland and Barrett again, and told them. They insisted that had authorised it, and asked me to check my bank and paypal again. It's been another 5 days and they haven't gotten back in contact.

Waiting 5 to 7 days in between messages, even though an agent has been selected, is ridiculous. It's been so long in fact that they've sent me the automated message asking if I was happy with the service I had been provided.

HORRIBLE SERVICE !!!

HORRIBLE SERVICE !!!! May 20, 2022 was the information that product Wart Away will be delivered the next day, I bought it and chose the option of "express delivery", which costs 5.99 euro and I could choose the day, so I chose May 23, 2022 in which to be delivered product. Today, May 30, 2022 it has just been delivered !!!! (10 days of waiting, for 5.99 euro !!!!) and without any prior notice, apologies for the delay, nothing !!! A terrible experience and I would not recommend scammers like Holland Barret to anyone.

Poor online service

Very poor way to treat customers. First they tell you your product is ready in-store to collect on the day you order. Then, when it is paid for, two emails arrive to tell you that there is a delay! Now three days later, still waiting. Paid a premium to buy from H&B because it was urgent, would have been quicker and cheaper to use Amazon.

Impossible to contact a specific store…

Impossible to contact a specific store to find if they have an item. Ring customer services wait an age for an answer and told they can see what’s online. Doesn’t help. Do I make a trip to the store just to see?
Why isn’t there an easy way to contact a specific store?
This isn’t CUSTOMER service. This is own business service.

Dear F. Griff
I'm sorry to hear that you had this experienced. Unfortunately, Google indexes on the common number only. When you browse on our site, you can click on “Find a store” at the top of the site. This will take you to the page where you can search for a specific store or place. There you will find all contact details including telephone number. It is also strange that it was reported on our end that we could not see the data you requested. We can actually see and find all store phone numbers, connect you through and even check what the expected stock of the store should be. So Thank you very much for the feedback! 

I will definitely discuss it with the team!.
With kind regards Rob from customer service.

Trying to trick people into thinking they are getting a bargain. 5 HTP 60 tabs 15.99 with second bottle half price (total £23.98) 120 tabs £23.99 not on the offer. By my calculations both end up being the same price. Not an offer at all! Misleading

Dear Denise,
We’re very sorry to hear that you had this experience on our website. Let me state that we are sorry and that in no way are we trying to mislead, by showing wrong or faulty prices on our site. When you see the discounts online, most off the time the prices that you see are already the discount pre-calculated prices The original prices are slightly different colour (light grey). This is even more clear when you have added them too your basket. It could be that there is a technical misstake on our website. Perhaps you can provide us with a picture? This way we can rectify this on our website if there is indeed an error. You can send this email to klantenservice@hollandandbarrett.com. Via this email we can help you further on this matter.

Furthermore thank you for your feedback.
Hope to see your email soon, so we can resolve this issue for you!
Again my sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.
With kind regards Rob from customer service.
