SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE

SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE
AWFUL customer service provided by this company, customer representatives are useless and careless with customers. I placed an order and it arrives incomplete with box badly taped over and unsealed. The service provided by them is being unsatisfactory at this time but the worst is how they fool the customers by the online chat, NO solutions provided but keep me waiting until they want with NO solution whatsoever, the meanwhile solution is:please fill up this form, treating customers like fools.. I find this DISRESPECTFUL, UNPROFESSIONAL AND IRRESPONSIBLE with customers. DON'T order from this company as they are careless and if something happens with your order they will find the way to fool you. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
I urge you to ISSUE a REFUND right away to my order 3169005997 for the missing items.

Disappointment

I ordered a manuka honey in Jan 2021.
However, after waiting for a long time, It never arrived.
In the meantime, I emailed them three times.
But the answer was always same "your order is currently in our warehouse".
But now, I checked website and it shows "delivered"!
What????
I have not received yet.
I can not believe it.
I will never order from them.
My order number is 2586204

Hi Noriko, thank you for your message. Do you have an order number for me? I would love to take a second look at it for you. Kind regards, Lotte

Thank you Noriko for your quick response. Unfortunately I see that this order was made in the UK. You are reaching out to the Holland & Barrett Benelux. We work with different systems and I am very sorry, but can not solve this for you. You can only contact them through the following link: https://help.hollandandbarrett.com/hc/en-gb/categories/360002793539-Other
If you even decide to place an order on hollandandbarrett.nl or hollandandbarrett.be, I would be able to help you, and I would love to hear from you. Kind Regards, Lotte.

Absolutely horrendous service

Absolutely horrendous service. Ordered two products, one week later still no updates or news on delivery. I emailed them, they apologized and said my order must have slipped past them.. another week later and I get half of what I ordered. I rang them and they said yeah there's a shortage.. it's on promotion FFS, every store has shelves stocked with the products. Absolute joke of a service. They didn't even bother to tell me they were only sending one item. Completely amateur service. Won't be shopping with them again

907gr Bottle of Honey bought from Holland Barret.
Everyone appriciates this honey.
BUTthe fact is the honey is hard like rock. Not good quality HONEY. This is pure sugar or something else is mixed in with honey. Actually there ready made honey like product is made in china to adeltrate Honey.
Something is not right. Authorities must check all honey sold in Europe. Lots of Honey sold is fake honey.
I have a bottle still kept. Half bottle honey can not be taken out of bottle because it has become hard like Stone.

Dear Ravi, thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear that the honey is no longer to your satisfaction. Because it is a natural product, it also reacts to external natural factors, unfortunately this is difficult to prevent, but you can therefore be sure that no unnecessary agents or additives have been processed in the product! The reason for the crystallization of honey is the high glucose content and often the influence of cold which causes it to crystallize faster than normal. In principle, it can often be completely liquefied again by using the 'au bain marie' method. That is basically placing the pot in a bowl or pan with warm water and allowing it to stand for a while. For example, the honey should return to its original state. Hopefully it will be possible to solve this with the aforementioned method! Kind Regards, Lotte

Great products good customer care

The product information is spot on. Easy to find suitable items. Not always the cheapest but checking on ingredients I find they often have either higher amounts or added ingredients which make the products more effective. I do find the rewards difficult to understand and usually miss out on the discount. Loving the discount codes I have had recently and a real incentive to try new products. All in all I use Holland and Barrett because I trust the products and receive good customer care.

H&B sent me an invoice via email confirming an order which I had not placed. When I tried to call them, I was left waiting on the phone for 30 minutes. I am not sure how it is that H&B can simply create an order and send me an invoice for something I did not order in this manner. I will be cancelling my on-line account with H&B, as they are clearly incompetent.

I have been waiting for over a month…

I have been waiting for over a month for my order to dispatch but it is still in their warehouse. I've contacted customer services twice and all they will tell me is that it is still in the warehouse. I know that, the tracking information tells me so, I want to know why it is still in the warehouse and when they will send it. Terrible service, this is the second time that I have had problems, the first time they only sent half of my order and it took forever to get the rest of it. I've only ordered from them 3 times, so it's not looking good...

Hi Rachael, Thank you for your feedback. How unfortunately to hear that items from your order are currently out of stock. At the moment we see that several articles are delayed due to problems from the UK. My apologies. Can I still support you in this by, for example, canceling items from your order and refund the amount you paid for it? I would love to hear from you if I can support you in this. Kind regards Lotte

Always satisfied

I order regularly I was always satisfied. Once my package was destroyed and they did not inform me, however after asking they resolved the situation. Luckily I didn't need the products immediately. Other than that I order regularly and they deliver as promised.

Package still not sent, 5th working day and counting..d a few things that I needed…

Ordered a few things that I needed urgently as I am pretty sick. Their standard delivery time is 4-5 working days. I placed the order on a Monday and today is Friday. Looking at the order status, it says the items STILL HAVEN'T LEFT THEIR DISTRIBUTION CENTER. It is literally the 5th working day. I wonder if I will survive to see my package being delivered. Never ordering from here again. Maybe worth buying stuff from the store PHYSICALLY but online order and delivery is complete rubbish.

Quick visit to Amsterdam

I was on a quick visit to Amsterdam, and shopping from this shop was the best part of it. The staff is so friendly, they had great deals and discounts on most of the products, and as a Non-Dutch speaker, it was easy for me to communicate with the staff, as most of them speak English fluently.

Very bad experience.

Very bad experience.
Ordered an Aloe Vera gel. As our family using it very often I thought it would be good idea to subscribe for 4 weekly delivery. They're telling you you're saving money having subscribed but the product cost exactly the same.
I just discovered there is no way to cancel subscription.
No option in my account to cancel subscription , they're giving you a number to ring where nobody answering the call.

They steal your identity - illegal data stealing

Someone that I don't know did use my email address for an account with this identity thieves. Probably by accident.

Holland and barrett didn't check the email address they got, but they started to spam me with their promotional nonsense.

I did tell them to remove my data from their system for four times. Finally I did get a reaction that they didn't want to do that.

Already since May 2018 it's an European law that they should check email addresses before they put them in their databases. And the same law says that they should remove my data, when I demand that.

They're NOT TO TRUST WITH YOUR PERSONAL DATA! Take care for these arrogant personal data thieves.
