The Berwick branch of Holland and Barrett are amazing. The staff are all very knowledgeable and very polite friendly and helpful. They always make you aware of the best offers available of what you are looking for

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.

I had the worst customer service experience ever today at the Wood Green shop, near Boots.

I have been shopping for years at Holland Barrett and never felt treated like shi..t as I feel today. It’s not the first time and it’s seems that they treat their customers based on their skin colour. Pure discrimination, I have friends that have stopped shopping there because they way they been treated. You just lost a good customer, and really hope that Holland &Barrett management take action against this.

Just received absolutely appalling customer service have shopped with H&B for over 30 years now and a loyal customer spending lots and lots of money with them - for the first time I had a problem received my order today opened box and some of the items were damaged - I was treated like a criminal and like they totally disbelieved what had happened - I tried several ways to sort this out they were meant to call me back but didnt and they were really unhelpful and didnt seem to understand English? I will not be shopping there again - its their loss

The quality of the vitamins and supplements is terrible. The dosages are completely unclear, so you can easily overdose. Delivery is a whole other story—you can easily add a week to any promised delivery date.

Offer only valid for the time before and after purchase.

So frustrating. There was a special offer on some hair dye. The offer was 51% off I think just for that day and for only s few colours. I selected a colour based on that price and bought 2 of them. I actually took a screenshot of the price, £6.85, as I was comparing things and I took the screenshot at 06.53. My purchase was then made at 06.56, so 3 minutes later. However I was charged almost £10 for each hair dye. I checked straight after and the price was still meant to be £6.85.

Now I'm wasting minutes of my life speaking to customer services who is trying to explain that offers are only on for a short time and I cannot complain because a product goes up after I buy it and cannot be refunded for that. So it was on special all morning until before 06.56, and then on offer all of the rest of that same day since that time. But for just exactly one minute of those 24 hours the price went up to £10, which was just exactly the time I bought the hair dye!

My head is going to explode, where do H&B find their staff!!!

I went into H and B in Newbury to but some vitamins. However, the offer for the ones I was looking to buy was only online.
So I ordered what I wanted and they were both buy one get one free. So that was great, I could have one at home and one at work.
However, when they were delivered I only received 1 of each. So I contacted them online and I was told I should have clicked both of them twice to get the free ones.
The way I see it was if I clicked them both twice I would end up with 4 of each.
So lesson learnt. I will shop around from now on.

Hi Alec,

Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry for any disappointment caused.

For Buy One Get One Free promotions, 2 of the same item need to be added to the basket for the offer to apply, just as you would take 2 items to the checkout when shopping in store. 

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and will ensure your comments are passed on to the relevant team.

You lost your regular customer

Big let down after months of spending hundreds of pounds online. While using the app, I was supposed to have a special code that never worked for me. Plus, the items I had in my basket changed the prices and discount offers overnight. I founded these practices really upsetting and when I confronted customer service
about it, I got really blatant reply not even focusing on my query. Since then I've been buying my supplements elsewhere.

Still waiting for my next day order. Don't have an order number as you haven't finalised my payment through klarna but paid the first initial payment. Looking through the reviews its seems to happen when thing are on offer and people ain't receiving them. If that's the case I want a refund so I can go elsewhere.
