I hope the products sold here are of a higher quality than the customer service I received.

I visited the pharmacy to collect an order that I had already placed. As I was leaving, a member of staff stopped me and questioned me in a way that made me feel as if I had stolen the item. I was repeatedly asked what the product was, how I had obtained it, and how I had ordered it, despite it being a legitimate store order.

It was surprising and disappointing to be treated with such suspicion, especially by staff who should be familiar with their own store’s ordering procedures. The experience left me feeling embarrassed and unwelcome.

I expect customers to be treated with respect,

Hello Kris,

Thank you for your feedback. Our standard process is to hand over collection orders in a John Bell & Croyden bag with the order slip attached to ensure a smooth exit, so we are very sorry to hear that this interaction left you feeling unwelcome.

We never want our customers to feel uncomfortable, and we will be reviewing how our team handles order verifications to ensure it's always done respectfully. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,

They cancelled my order because I assume they didn't want to sell at that price. Product is now advertised on their website at higher price. Could be a ruse to advertise at a lower price just to get you on their website?

Dear Darren,
Thank you for your review.

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Your order was canceled as the item was out of stock at the time. The price for this product has not changed since last year, and it is currently still unavailable.

It is possible you may be referring to a different item, but we`d be happy to look into this further if you could provide more details. Please free to contact us at jbc@johnbellcroyden.co.uk and we will be happy to assist you.

No update For 3 days

For 3 days, there was no update on the shipping. For 3 days, DPD said they have not yet received the box from John Bell. Then suddenly it appeared.

Hello Henry,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for the frustration caused by the delay.

Just to clarify the timeline: your order was placed on Saturday, 24th January at 5pm, after our team had finished for the weekend, so it was dispatched on Monday, the next working day.

The delay occurred on the courier’s side, as DPD had not yet scanned the parcel, which can make it look as though nothing has been received. Once they scanned it, the tracking updated.

We appreciate your patience, and while the dispatch was handled on time, this type of delay is unfortunately something only the courier can address. If you ever need help with an order, we’re always here to assist.

Kind regards,
Natalia

Brilliant customer service

Our clinic needed a manual old school BP machine urgently today. I was ringing around local pharmacies in a panic. Ryan from the John Bell pharmacy was incredible!!! He found me the right machine and kept it on the side for my colleague. Ryan, you saved the day!! Thank you so much

Great service 7

I ordered online but they contacted me very quickly to say that one of the items was out of stock. They gave me a number of options, from which I chose to wait for restocking. They kept me informed on expected timescales and despatched the full order promptly. Great service from Natalia.

Only 1 item ordered online was in stock

Only one item ordered online was deliverable, suggesting a problem between John Bell & Croyden’s system of record and their website, causing a hit and miss user experience. Shame as was raving about them last year. Their product lines are excellent but if you aren’t sure what’s actually going to arrive it’s very hard to purchase presents from them.

Hello Nick,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really sorry for the inconvenience.

Just to clarify, two of the items you ordered were in stock and were sent to you. The third item had unfortunately been sold offline (in‑store) shortly before your online order was processed. Because it was also discontinued, we weren’t able to offer a replacement or restock, so we issued a refund straight away.

We also apologise for not communicating this sooner. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially when purchasing gifts, and we’re working to improve both our stock accuracy and communication.

Thank you for your understanding.
