Absolutely horrible customer service - order "delivered" to nowhere, and they refuse to help! (Order: 9030436535)

I have never experienced such appalling and dismissive customer service. I placed an order with them (Order #9030436535). I was at home the entire time on the day of the delivery, but no one ever knocked on my door. Suddenly, I got a notification saying the parcel was delivered by Royal Mail. 
I immediately called Holland & Barrett customer service. They advised me to check around my property and with all my neighbours, which I did-the parcel was nowhere to be found. Two different agents (Sherry and Naledi) emailed me, instructing me to sign a legal declaration confirming non-receipt, and both explicitly promised in writing to arrange a refund or a fast replacement once I completed the form. I signed and returned the forms immediately. 
Instead of honoring their word, a third agent named Reegan emailed me days later to flat-out reject my claim, stating they had "adequate evidence" of delivery. Their "evidence" is an absolute joke: 
1. The Photo: The "proof of delivery" picture they attached literally just shows an extreme close-up of a shipping label on a box. It shows zero background, no front door, and absolutely nothing to prove where the parcel was actually left. 
2. The Signature: The signature they provided is a random, squiggly loop. It is not mine, and it does not belong to anyone in my household. 
I tried calling their customer service line again to sort this out, and it was a horribly frustrating experience. The phone staff were completely unhelpful, repeatedly brushing me off by saying the "head office is working on it" and refusing to provide any actual support.
I played completely by their rules and filled out their legal declarations under threat of prosecution, yet they still essentially called me a liar to avoid taking responsibility for a lost package. They are completely ignoring the Consumer Rights Act. I am now being forced to initiate a bank chargeback and take them to Small Claims Court just to get my money back. 
If you are placing an order, do not risk home delivery with Holland & Barrett. If the courier loses or steals it, H&B will completely wash their hands of you. I will absolutely never be ordering from them again. Avoid at all costs!

Claiming not to have received my returned order

I returned an order via Royal Mail, tracking shows that the return has been delivered back to the H&B warehouse.

After waiting almost 2 months for support to come to a conclusion, they are claiming to not have received the return and are refusing to refund.

I contacted Royal Mail to verify that the return has been delivered and they confirmed it had.

Extremely questionable practices, I will now have to go through the lengthy process of filing a chargeback to get my money back.

Safe to say I will never use this company again, and suggest others do the same.

Liberty Centre shop…so rude

Just been in to the Liberty Centre shop in Romford - and never been spoken to in such a rude manner.
The young lady clearly not happy in her job. I was in a Q and this worker said there is self serve till to everyone I then replied I can’t as the scanning code did not work it’s different ! With the reduced sticker. I was not aware of this and she was so rude made me look like an idiot replied sarcastically - “there’s your code” how was I suppose to know this was a scanning code it looked like a QR code!

Terrible customer service's experience

Terrible customer service's experience, just spoke to somebody about my attempted online order but they were very difficult to communicate in English.
At least 30 minutes i have been trying to explain to them, the difficulties placing an online order, and seemed that they were not trained enough to advise me for simple queries. Had to spell them repeatedly my email address, said they did not what to do. I asked to put me through to someone else but they refused to do so.

I am not pleased at all with the H&B services, and i am looking elsewhere to shop for what I need.

Awkward customer services to receive help.

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.
