    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:


    Yes. There should be only one exclamation mark after "lucky". Christmas and Boots are both proper nouns and should therefore be capitalized. I'm still undecided about the "up", in "packaged the stuff up", and I'm pretty sure you order "from", not "off". :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Dare I risk ordering from them again this year? What will the packing be like this time? It's like a lucky dip.:rotfl:

    I ordered a camera from them last week and it came in a huge box. The porters at college wondered why something so small needed a box so big. It turned out that the box was filled with about 15 metres of brown paper. Our environment rep was not happy. So we decided to make a paper snake out of it and send the picture to boots.com.
  • I ordered a mascara from Avon last week and fell about laughing when I saw the size of the box it came in. I actually felt embarrased when the courier asked what was in it!
