  • I placed my order after endless complications at about 6am yesterday morning. Firstly i filled my basket then went to checkout, this is when i got the generic message and all my items emptied out of my basket. I refilled and finally got through checkout about an hour after i started. I paid for next day delivery at an extra cost of £5.38 due to been at work Monday when the normal delivery would have been. I have sat all day today awaiting my delivery.....i did get the order confirmation email and the order despatched email with tracking numbers. At 5pm i rang Boots to be told my delivery has been despatched but is running a day late on delivery. I have been fortunate to have had my order go through, i spent over £100, and saved over £300. Birthdays and Christmas all sorted for 2009. They have refunded my delivery charge and told me they didnt think the sale would come back online! A shame really as so many people have been waiting for this and been let down big style. I went to my nearest store yesterday approx 20 miles away outside York and the sales shelves were virtually empty. Only stock left was Xmas wrap, and mince pie and port sets. Basically all the crap stuff. Good luck to anyone still awaiting delivery, and i have sympathy for all those who either couldnt place an order or have since had their order cancelled.

    Thing is I dont think anyone knows IF it will be back online. The stuff I want is still in stock so what will happen to it all? No one in their right mind will pay full price for it

    I'm in two minds - pack it all in and just forget about Boots (and my cancelled order that I really, really needed) or keep checking the website for that elusive 75% sale.

    I wish Boots would just give a yes or no answer as to whether the sale will be on!
    :beer:MANY THANKS TO ALL OPS:beer:

    well i rang CS earlier this evening, and they said to me that boots is not likely to be comming bak online for the sale.
    so, i dont know what they are trying to acheive here, but they ceratinly have alot of unhappy customers.
    i dont see the point in waitin for somethings thats nt going to hapen, extreamly unhappy with boots! big let down as far as im concerned n a complete waste of space!! :mad: ah well

  • i really wish i hadn't shown my kids what i had bought from boots.com now in case it doesn't turn up. i placed my order quite quickly after the sale started and it is now showing as processing, expected delivery date is monday. It isn't the end of the world if it doesn't turn up but just disappointing.

    when i ordered i thought that it was strange that things didn't keep disappearing out of my basket when i checked out, like it did last year, that must have been down to the problems people had ordering this year.
    now mum of 4!!!
  • well I guess I should just give up and not wait for the sale online...but i live in hope!

    im sure if u have a confimation they should honour it?, and if there is stock issues then surly they would have to close all the product that were in the sale? eg igglepiggle was in the sale but is on the site as full price and in stock?????, i hope we all get our orders mine is due mon, good luck to everyone fingers crossed!

    Nothing against people whos orders have been dispatched, but I really think they should deal with the orders in the time order that they were made.
    It seems wrong to me to dispatch an order made at 6am, before one made at 3am
  • I agree, it should be first come, first served definately. Also, like Hayhay says, they surely cannot put this down to stock issues as most items are online still at full price!!

    I was thinking the same thing but couldnt word it as well as you.
    i ordered at 3.19 i thought it was 3.16 but .com showing at 3.19 and still processing.
    Ah well it was an experience I wont be striving to experience again.

    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together
