  • hiya, thanks for that. went today and found the foot soak, and detox gel stuff. must've sold out of the scrub. never mind.
    Can't believe how much stuff is left in the gift sale. I went up on boxing day, and think there was more there today than there was then!
    yes... exactly theres more stock being put out now than there was just before xmas!!! and i too went on boxing day and there is deffo more stock now than then... glad u managed to get something though mandymoo,who knows maybe they will put out some more s&g from the mystery stockroom!!!
  • no7 ultimate collection back in stock if you have it in your favourites.
  • I had the No7 collection box in my wishlist, with soap and glory and elle bag and for some reason 2 days ago those ones completely disappeared. I'm going to take my chances in store I think. A little unreliable online, but I may stay up as last time the thread was so funny!
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff
    The more you put into life, the more you get out
  • soap and glory skin sampler also back in stock in favourites.
  • Its not technically "allowed" as a company would not want people to return items when the were cheaper to buy back at cheaper price as this means they are loosin money. However nor is it against the "rules" as you are entitled to a refund on an item within the stated time and should you choose to buy it again is your decision. You may find that a SA would refuse to do it though so maybe comin up with a little white lie for the reason you need to do it would be best! Saying that if they are still in stock just buy at 75% then return the 50% ones.

    Is there any restrictions on what you can return gift wise? ie. can you return the toiletry ones?

    This is what we were all advised to do last week in my local BOOTS store, even the manager advised us to buy it now then bring it back as long as we have a receipt, so looks like you can do it after after all, straight from the mouth of the BOOTS MANAGER !!!!
  • just to let people in leeds know, yesterday I went to Birstall, Crown Point and White Rose Boots.......Birstall had practically no stuff what so ever....I would estimate about 20 items max...all battered and bruised! Crown point had a bit more, a couple of short aisles.....but nothing really interesting at all....mostly the lavender/rose (old peoples :p) stuff.....and white rose was again a bit more....still not much at all but seemed to have slightly more variety........I will be heading to WR on weds...unless someone else can suggest somewhere better....still havent checked kirkstall although a few days ago someone said they had nothing.....seems Leeds people arent gonna get many bargains :(

    I would only advise this if you have spoken to your Boots branch manager, and they have said its okay. Because I can just imagine the response I'd get from a couple of dragon SAs I know :rolleyes:.

    Why cant they tell us ????? they did last year and the year before what so different about this year ????????? What I dont like is the LIE's they were telling, there is no need for it, loads of people in the store today were very disappointed not only with the sale being cancelled but the way we were spoken to and dealt with, if they had said at 8.30 this morning that the sale had been cancelled today eveyone would have accepted it, but this is what they failed to do, they lied and said there wasnt gong to be a sale and dont no if there is ever going to be a 75% sale......let's hope you get your bargains next week !!!

    Sorry if I've misunderstood ellisnicole, but if your store manager let you all buy stuff at 50% off then you'll get to return it all with the receipt when the 75% off sale starts, then buy it again at 75% off, I don't understand why you were so upset last week? You'll be in a much better position than anyone else, as you've already got your choice of the items, and you'll get them at 75% off?
  • no7 ultimate collection back in stock if you have it in your favourites.

    I don't understand how the Ultimate set can be in and out of stock so often. I placed an order for this last week (along with a few other bits) then had the email to say order dispatched but Ultimate set not coming as it's out of stock. Also got a phone call from Boots stating that they have no more stocks in the warehouse!
