they sent a packet of baby organic rice cakes in a similar size box, I had orderedc them to get over a £50 spend on nappies, the nappies arrived one day but as rice cakes worth 35p were out of stock they came a couple of days later. Madness...0

have to agree with you all! The box I received on Friday with just one item in was huge. My sister fell about laughing when I opened it and showed her what was inside! What a waste of packaging but still......................I always recycle;)0

Hi
I too ordered off boots.com last week. The parcels arrived on Friday - both items in seperate boxes - they could both have easily fit into one box - the smaller box i might add - but there was so much brown paper packing it up!Weight Loss - 102lb0 -
I think this should be on the 5 star service board I would be
very happy to see my goods packaged with care......0 -
You are lucky!!:rotfl:
I ordered off them last year for christmas, there was hardly any packaging. The box was battered, and a few of the items inside were "injured".:wall:
I would have loved them to package the stuff up like that, it would have saved a trip to boots to go and replace the stuff as there was no time to wait for them to deliver replacements.:doh:
Edit to add,
Is that better now?:rotfl:
I got told off fer me grammar:p :rotfl: :rotfl:
Any more mistakes to be corrected?:p :rotfl:I live in my own little world, but it's ok as everyone knows me here0 -

If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0
