Some of you may remember I had an order for £2.95 including delivery, well it arrived today so I can tell you that I dont know how I did it but I somehow managed to order an Elizabeth Arden GWP and the Estee Lauder Mascara Samples and just pay postage

Ikkle how did you manage that?

Last night I tried to place an order on .com once it got to the payment section it wouldn't confirm through to my bank (once it came up with a generic error - the other times it just refreshed the page) I also tried paypal but it wouldn't forward me to the paypal site either. I emailed cs last night no reply as yet, but seem to recall others having similar problems? How did they get resolved?

Mine never did get resolved - I couldn't call customer services from work so I ended up just buying the thing off ebay instead. Let me know if you do get it sorted and how!

Hi
I apologise if this has been posted, but your forum moves so fast(exciting) In boots sandwiches there is a voucher for £3 off no7 mens skin care range but it finishes on the 21.09.08 so have to spend it quick.
now I need recomendations on what I can buy.

Hi,

Ok well the kids were quiet so managed to phone cs. It took a while as they had "error codes" and technical problems too but I have an order number! They seem to have part charged me for delivery though but they haven't taken payment yet so that might fix itself along the way.

I did try using IE on the offchance it wasn't working because I was using Firefox but no joy. CS also noted all the problems I was having so hopefully there will be enough complaints for them to fix it quickly!. What use is a website that won't allow customers to order :rotfl:

Better go kids now winding one another up - I knew it wouldn't last lol.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi-hope this post is allowed.I need advice or bit of support
I asked about some faulty boots haircurlers a couple of days ago(or was it yesterday my memory is very bad).They stopped working properly-wouldn't heat up properly and on 2nd attempt caused all the leccy in my house to go off.I had lost the reciept but still has box etc with boots security code, label on it-curlers were in pristine conditon as I only use for special occassions.
I took them back today and explained to sa who said I could exchange, she scanned and said they were £19.99.I asked if they had same because I was quite happy with them(when they worked) Sa looked and said no so choose some others or something else up to value.I was browsing & looking and that particular area near the till was very busy.I finally decided on a diffuser. As I approcahed the till another sa in different clothing (not boots white smock thingie)suddenly shouted at me"when did you buy these".There were at least 4 other customers there.I explained about 7 or 8 months ago, she replied in a really sarcastic nasty tone "well these were discontinued and reduced to halfprice"-I replied I don't know maybe they were but I can't remember how much I paid and mine don't work.Then the same sa went towards the hair electricals stand and came back with same curlers in new packaging and shoved them onto the till and said "do you want these".I said yes I wanted the same anyway but why don't you check my advantage card to trace the transcation.The sa replied very loudly can't do that but I will exchange this time and you can pay difference nextime keep your recieptand anyway you could have bought these from argos or something.
By this time I wanted to leave the store I was so embarrassed, I could sense evyrbody staring at me thinking I'm dishonest or something and the sa who served me first pretended to ignore me and carried on with next customer.
I did reply that how could these be from argos when they scan here and box has boots label and tag-she didn't reply.I was refunded 1000points onto my card and then had to use 799 of my own so 1799 altogether to pay for the curlers & I left the store in tears.
I would have understood if she she had politely called me and explained that sa or till was mistaken and these were actually reduced so they will have to honour last selling price etc but the way the sa behaved made me feel like a fraudster or criminal.I wasn't even given a choice -I didn't say I paid with points or cash originally but she assumed I used points and made me use mine which I was saving for a ted baker makeup bag.The worst bit was having it all announced in front of other sa's and customers in such a mean way.
Today was meant to be a treat for me-I actually went in to buy the lancome pallette mrs bluebear liked or maybe a new urbun decay pallete for myself as an early birthday pressie and had to change the curlers because I needed them for my birthday next week.I feel like cutting my advantage card up and never going into boots again

sorry for long post and bad grammer-brain is all over the place.

That is terrible, some of these SAs are just so bad. Call CS and tell them what happened, they should not be allowed to treat people this way.

Joto, I honestly don't know hun. I had added some EA products so that I knew exactly what to ask for at the EA counter to get the GWP as if I do this I feel a bit more confident. When I went to empty the basket I removed them 1 item at a time and when I removed the 2nd EA product I expected it to remove the GWP but it didn't. And it also left the EL Mascara Sample in my basket and it allowed me to check out so I did hun If you are wanting the GWP then I would genuinely recommend taking Sophie's .com glitch advice and getting 2 lipsticks for £15. I am using the GWP's to make a gift set for my mum and nan. x

I posted a while ago about the new mascara making my eyes a bit sore, well this morning i woke up and a bit of my eye has swollen! Its the little bit in the corner above the tear duct! It feels like a hard ball! Not sure what to do about it, its very itchy and sore!

This is exactly what happened to my eye at the weekend!
I let really hot water fall on it for a while in the shower and it had gone by the next day.
