Grrrr it never used to be as bad, now it crashes, it's full of broken links, it's just really really inefficient.

I wanted to check it wasn't just me before I complain

Yes, if you browse (especially on a mobile) the site map makes no sense. But the search facility is shit. And if you click "back" when you've filtered your results, it unfilters them. Maddening.

JuanFernandezTitTyrant · 18/10/2014 08:07

Oh, and it's always been rubbish as far as I am concerned.

Yes but then i find alot of high street ones are hard to use.

I Was trying to order something the other day and it wouldn't let me add to the basket because I needed to select a colour. .. These were breathe right strips and there was no way to select a colour! I gave up in the end.

The site is terrible, and so slow. I keep hoping they include a site survey in the end but surprisingly they never do. hmm. ...

cherrybombxo · 18/10/2014 08:29

Yes, it's awful. There are so many broken links, it seems to crash fairly frequently and I get random error messages. It's not like Boots are strapped for cash, surely they can afford a proper web team?

bonzo77 · 18/10/2014 08:36

YANBU. I hate it. I hate boots. If it were not for DHs staff discount I wouldn't go there.

woodwaj · 18/10/2014 09:32

It's absolute balls! If its out of stock dont put it on the bloody website!!

PunkrockerGirl · 18/10/2014 09:56

YANBU, it's awful. I think the M&S one is appalling too.

Spindarella · 18/10/2014 10:32

YANBU - I don't bother with it anymore.

CaptainHammer · 18/10/2014 15:54

bonzo77 Same here, double discount days are the only time I shop in there!

YANBU, the website is pants!

ouryve · 18/10/2014 15:58

I don't think the Boots site has been significantly updated since DS1 was a baby - and he's nearly 11.

EduCated · 18/10/2014 15:58

YANBU, it tells me there are 5 pages of results for my search, but click on anything after page 2 and it comes up with a 'No results' message.

OddBoots · 18/10/2014 16:06

I agree, it used to work okay but in the past year or two it's really gone downhill. I tend not to bother now, I can get most stuff in other places, superdrug and amazon mainly.

BadtzMaru · 18/10/2014 16:12

I think it's grabby of Boots to charge you for delivery to a store, everywhere else does free click and collect. I've only ordered online from them once and won't be doing it again unless they change that.

squoosh · 18/10/2014 16:46

Boots' website is one of my most hated things on the internet.

Seriously Boots, how hard can it be to spend some of your cash and hire an agency to come up with a well designed site? It is 2014, not 1998. Up your game you idiots.

Andrewofgg · 18/10/2014 17:00

Boots are rubbish, online or bricks and mortar. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Lightningfast · 05/10/2022 21:53

Now 2022 and the Boots website is still true shite. Just saying.

RogueV · 05/10/2022 21:56

Worst website and app I’ve ever encountered

Tree12 · 05/10/2022 21:57

They redid it recently (or at least the basket/checkout is different) and it’s SO MUCH WORSE than it was before.

elvis4nuts · 05/10/2022 21:57

Absolute dog poo

PlanBea · 05/10/2022 21:58

Trying to buy baby clothes from there is impossible. You search by size, but it shows you things that were in that size but have now sold out. The filter categories don't work right. It's SO slow. I see loads of cute baby clothes from there but I've given up on it and don't even try to browse any more.

TastesLikeFlavourlessFizz · 05/10/2022 21:59

The worst. I swear every time I use it. And try not to use it much.

PlanBea · 05/10/2022 21:59

Oh just saw this is a zombie thread 🤦‍♀️ and it's still a terrible website!

ashitghost · 05/10/2022 22:01

Yes it’s absolutely shit and I’d never order anything from it as I wouldn’t even trust them to send me the correct item(s). And it’s too stress inducing to even try anyway.
