Boots - the Store

Advantages: Quality products all under one roof
Disadvantages: None

...store!

The Boots Company PLC is a chain of high street stores known for their pharmacy and beauty/health products. You can find a Boots on just about every high street in Britain. In fact Boots has approximately 1,500 stores in the UK and abroad. This is the thing I like most about it, you are always guaranteed to find a store wherever you are in the country which makes it easy when you need to buy a repeat brand or just need to pop ...
...weekend away.

Boots was founded in Nottingham in 1849 by a gentleman called John Boot, hence the name and turned into a chain by his son Jesse. Boots stores are very easy to spot and recognize on the high street. They include a big blue sign with Boots written on it in cursive white writing. The sign was actually based on a design made by one of Jesse's sign writers in the 1870's.

Like I said, Boots were primarily known ... more

Why they think they are leaders I'll never know

Advantages: Good Customer service when it goes wrong
Disadvantages: When it goes wrong it really goes wrong. Expensive

...boots. I thought that because Boots is such a big brand, that it would be fine. I'll set the scene. We had a big social event at and I took loads of great pictures (inc. the board looking sheepish). I decided to get the two rolls of film on a picture CD so we could could put them on the Company website. I took them into Boots on Thursday 1st March and was told that they would take three days, which was longer than I expected but because of the relative ...
...got a call back from Boots saying that they had found my photos, when I went to get them (queuing for 20 minutes) I found they had sent back the pictures of squirrels and had ignored the form I had filled out. It's now May and still no word (although I have been assured that they will continue looking for them for the next year-which does nto bode well) It does mainly seem to be the imcompetence of the processing lab to blame as the staff at Boots ...

Boots and the case of the lost film

Advantages: Free upload of film to internet
Disadvantages: They lose your film

...roll of APS film to Boots for next day development (thankfully, the other film I took on my trip was still in my camera). Included in their normal developing service is a free upload of the film to Bootsphoto.com, where you can send the pics and share them to your friends. For the record, this is the only reason that Boots has an edge on its competition, despite their absolute incompetence as a photo developer. The next day, I turned up to Boots ...
...day, I go down to Boots to see if anything is changed. Nothing has. They put their hands up in the air and say they will call. Meanwhile, in their open photo lab behind the counter, a man in his late 40's is sitting in a chair. Doing nothing. Not wearing a lab coat. Just ingratiatingly picking his nose and rubbing his findings on his upper lip. He does this repetitively for at least 2 minutes and I am reminded of aged psychologically disturbed apes ...

CD programs and 're-buying' photos

Advantages: Good quality
Disadvantages: Cost

Went on a wet camping trip abroad so chose 2 identical disposable cameras. I wanted the option of sharing the photos with friends over the internet so I opted to have them on CD as well, but as the price wasn't great, hence I decided to wait 3 days. On picking up the photos (and waiting in a 20min queue) I was shocked to find one of them cost £1 more than the other, even though they were same size, same amount of photos, and no real difference between ...
...the manager and waiting much longer, she couldn't change it... Now I have the photos and the CDs which are great. I'm surprised at how good quality they are even with some of the night shots and after going through a hurricane! I would like to upload them onto a website, but I have to use their program and it looks like I'd need to 'buy' them again in order for anyone using another computer to view them.... I can't help feeling a little conned, ...

Christmas Shopping at Boots!

Advantages: 3 for 2 - GREAT BARGAINS!!
Disadvantages: to difficult to chose from the range.

...focus on my op on Boots stuff, Thanks xx Well, I am probably the most organised member of my family. I have bought everyone’s Christmas present and they are all wrapped and hidden. The only activity I have left to do now is write out Christmas cards - but there is plenty of time for that! The thing I do not believe has plenty of time to do is of course buy presents! People have no one but themselves to blame when they are running around stressfully ...
...As I have mentioned before, Boots have got a Christmas 3 for 2 mega deal which is basically the main reason I love to shop there for presents! The best thing to do, I think, is to purchase 3 items at the same price then get one free. I try to do that so you are not wasting any money and you get the best deal. So basically I bought 3 things at £10 and got one free, bought 3 things at round about £5 and got one free! This would usually be at the price ...

Boots photograph developing and processing

Advantages: can get them done in an hour (so can other places)
Disadvantages: price, quality of photo's

...I took them to Boots to have them developed on the hour processing. They were expensive, but for a special occasion as this, I didn't mind. When I got them back, I was very dissapointed as they were very dark and some of the colours didn't seem true. I complained and they re-developed them free of charge. They were a bit better but still dark. Recently, I wanted something developing quickly and with reservations, I put them into Boots and they ...
...found a couple of people who have used the quick service and have not been happy with the finished results. I would be interested to know if any other members have had this problem, or if their normal 24hr/next day/2 day service results are affected with this problem. Next time I will used Snappy Snaps. ...

Digital Photo Printing at Boots

Advantages: Quick and Easy Self Service - Quality - Professional
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest

I have a digital camera, and keep my photos on my computer's hard-drive, but occasionally I like to get better and more interesting pictures printed, it just seems so much more natural to hold a real photo than look at it on the screen, plus it's better for showing them to people when a computer or TV isn't available, or giving photos to people who don't have a computer or DVD player. I recently therefore took a batch of my digital photos to Boots to get them printed. Boots now have self service machines for digital photos, which allow either instant, 1 hour or 24 hour printing from various sources. This can be a memory card, a photo CD, or Infra-Red direct from a compatible phone or camera. This has 2 benefits over the old over the counter method, firstly you can keep the media that the photos are on, very useful if it's your only ...

Review of Boots - Photo Processing

BOOTS it's not pants

Advantages: superb quality
Disadvantages: not the cheapest

Photo processing you'll probably fall into one of two catergories 1-the consumers who go for the cheapest,complain about the quality spend time trying to get them corrected or having to have them reprinted elsewhere possibly at extra cost thus wiping out the original amount they tryed to save in the beginning. 2-the consumer who goes for quality,they take a little more time on deciding where to go, they may read reviews in magazines,on the internet or take advice on the experiences of friends and family. You see photographic developing deals with peoples treasured memories and can be an emotional process so you need to go to a company that views the process in the same and that place is BOOTS. Now why do i think Boots is the best place to go for photo developing, point 1- All the boots minilabs are digital this means ...

Review of Boots - Photo Processing

Boots - an inconsistent service

Advantages: Competative prices, good loyalty scheme.
Disadvantages: Inconsistent level of quality of finished prints

I have to say that I totally agree with other comments. The quality of your prints from Boots depends entirely on who is working the day you go in. I have had perfect prints and on one occasion I had 6 films printed and every single one was printed back to front. so any writing was backwards, people and objects were in opposite places. These films happened to be from a graduation day and as you can well imagine were important to the family. Thankfully after hefty words with the manager, the photos were reprinted correctly and all money was refunded. On another occasion, a machine was being fixed so they said that my 1 hour processing would take 2 hrs yet I was still charged the same. What does the in house training consist of in this store? I went there because their prices were reasonable compared to other processors such as Max ...
