Boots - the Store

Advantages: Quality products all under one roof
Disadvantages: None

...Everybody's favourite High Street chemist and beauty 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 into one quickly because you have left your toothbrush at home on a 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...

Boots!

Advantages: You can buy most things here
Disadvantages: Some things are slightly more expensive than other places

...particular counter. Boots started out as a chemist, and has grown and grown and now you can buy everything from electrical good like hairdryers and shavers to products that enhance your sex life. There are currently rumours that Boots are looking into introducing a line of sex toys. Many of the products in Boots cost more than they do in other places, but depending on how much you spend in there, this can be worth in because you reap more benefits from your Advantage points. Its all about how you see it. Some people would rather buy their things from cheaper plaes and skip the Advantage points alltogether. At the till, you can buy gift cards, which are the new version of gift vouchers, you select an amount and its charged onto a swipe card that you give as a gift, then the recipient can use as much or as little of it as they like...

Review of Boots Boots

Best on-line shopping site

Advantages: Service, postage choice, good communcations, user friendly site
Disadvantages: Little chance of speaking to someone at Amazon direct

...I have used Amazon for seven years & although they are not the cheapest on-line site for books, music & other goodies, they are a pretty efficient bunch to deal with. I like the idea that if you buy more than £15.00 of goods, postage can be free but you need to carefully check your final requirements on-line before clicking the 'continue' button or you will default to a costlier postage service. Obviously with free postage you wait a little longer than the quicker service if you were paying but at least you have the choice unlike many sites. Communication with the customer is one of their strong points, they will confirm your order by email & also when your order is dispatched. Things do go wrong, but it is how a company rectifies its mistakes, that make Amazon among the top companies for customer satisfaction in the UK. In...

Amazon, An excellent site for your on-line shopping

Advantages: Huge selection of goods, competitive, reliable, good after-sales service.
Disadvantages: Amazon prime does not cover marketplace items.

...or offer a refund for anything that is faulty or you are unhappy with. And finally I have been happy with the products and service that I have received from Amazon so far, my experience from using the site has been entirely positive, even when using the third party sellers in the Amazon marketplace (It does make sense to read the customer feedback of third party sellers first before ordering from them) the site is easy to navigate and the ordering process is simple, I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good deal with an efficient reliable service from a reputable company on-line. Highly recommended Thanks for reading ? Mark....

Boots

Advantages: Convenient, loyalty points system, frequent special offers
Disadvantages: Some overpriced items

...Boots is a well-known chemist with stores up and down the country. If you don't have one near you, or find it inconvenient, you can buy products from the website at http://www.boots.com. Boots sell cosmetics, medicines, perfumes, haircare products, even sandwiches, and they are even branching out into areas like Botox, photo-processing, opticians, and laser-eye surgery! I have seen these advertised, but I have not used these services, so I can't comment on them. I have two stores near me, but I'm concentrating on the Trafford Centre branch for now. It is spread out into two floors - the ground floor deals with photo-processing and baby products, ie: nappies, bottles, etc. The upper floor is dedicated almost entirely to cosmetics, haircare products, etc, with a small section for the food (sandwiches, crisps, drinks, etc...

in the boot!

Advantages: Conveniently located and stocks the esentials
Disadvantages: a bit more expensive then other shops

...In almost every shopping centre and walkway you will find a Boots store. Quick history lesson: Boots was established in 1849 by a man named John Boot and his son jesse. The company was sold to an American drug company in the 20's and was sold back to British owners in the 30's. In 1991 Boots bought the company Halfords which sold bicycle, car and camping equipment. Boots later sold Halfords in 2002. The company manufactures its own brand of painkillers, vitamins and other such drugs. Another interesting fact found is that in 2005 Boots was looking into selling sex toys but later abandoned that idea. Would have been interesting popping into your local Boots for some face wash and a vibrator, (*immature giggle*). In general Boots is a convenient store selling many different items stuff from toothpaste to camera films. Some things can be...

Puts the Boot(s) up all the others.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...on, giving you as the customer a feeling of modern-ness thus, encouraging you to be taken in further by its seductiveness. Yes that is right, I called a shop seductive. As you walk in, there is the usual array of perfume counters. Whenever I see a perfume counter, mym mind automatically harps back to that good old Mr Bean sketch whereby he crawls through this section of a department store on all fours! But once you get past this then the rest of the shop is easy enough to navigate, as there are overhead signs telling you of the general areas in which to head for when looking for your items. Boots in my own opinion is the best value out of all of those shops that are llike this one in general, in particular because of the range of offers they carry. There is an unlimited amount of 342; buy one get one free; extra clubcard points...

Boots

Advantages: Reliable name & Advantage Points
Disadvantages: Prices can be dearer than Superdrug

...I sometimes check out product prices when I am in Superdrug or some other chemist and notice that prices can sometimes be a bit cheaper than in Boots. I usually do try and do my shopping in Boots for my toiletries as I find it handy when the points on my advantage card add up. The advantage card enables you to get 1 point for every 25 pence that you spend in the store, and quite often they do double or triple point weekends so the points can fairly add up. I save them up for Christmas time and find them handy for buying extras for my son and two nieces. Which is why I usually try to buy my toiletries in Boots as every little helps!! Boots is a well stocked, tidy, well presented store. It's also quite a bright store with Boots emblazened on the front of the store in blue writing with white background. There are many...

BOOTS - NO LONGER JUST "THE CHEMIST"

Advantages: Advantage points; Health and Beauty products; much more
Disadvantages: Can be expensive; poor customer service.

...Boots is one of my favourite retail shops. It is one of the most famous and desired cosmetic chain-stores. BOOTS THE CHEMIST The first thing I discovered when I came to the UK years ago was the Boots store at Heathrow airport in duty-free. I entered the shop and I was very impressed by how organised it was; I found everything - from beauty products, food and even baby clothes; all under the same roof. So I decided then, that, when I'm settled in, I would look for a Boots store and explore more! When I settled in, I hit the shops, looking for Boots stores; I knew later that the shop is called "Boots the Chemist" and I found two of them near where I lived: one was a big store and the other was a lot smaller, with limited shelves and fewer products. Quick information about the store. Boots originally was...
