i still haven't heard anything from my first order have had and ransacked my second lol

quick Q

are the balm balms just for lips or for any chapped skin? (:D)

Sarah, the box says for lips, face, hands and feet so I guess you could use it pretty much anywhere.

Ohh I am sorry Skibster.I know how you feel .I have missed out on the mirrors twice now. Maybe they will come along again.S/A told me they are 2007 stock, so maybe not that many left at dot.com. drat ,drat and double drat.:rotfl:
I better not miss out on the sale:rolleyes: .

Thanks, we will be mirrorless together, lol. And which sale did you mean? An after-Christmas sale? I will probably be gone from a week before Christmas until around Dec 30 or so; any idea if I will still catch sale items by the time I come back?

Who knows what I will find in the Boots box when it arrives, or if it will even be my order lol :rotfl:
Spent all my points today on Soap and Glory sets and a Digital camera :eek: as Im so annoyed with Boots. I just wanted to burn my points and give the store a huge miss.

I know how you feel; I am really ready to skip boots. After I placed this .com order, I remembered how past things came filthy, and others have had similar problems and things missing. Not to mention the points may not come, so it's a bit of a worry.

On Wednesday I ordered 3 no7 mirrors and 5 boxes of washing powder. Have just had email to say one mirror has been cancelled and £6.66 has been credited but the point I am getting at is the "order total charged" is £8.48. Two parcels have been despatched one costing £13.32 for 2 mirrors and one costing £5.53. Does this seem right to you? Guess I shall have to wait and see what actually appears. Thank you.

Sounds like you lucked out! You only got two mirrors, but still got the glitch!

Sniped from Skibster Thanks, we will be mirrorless together, lol. And which sale did you mean? An after-Christmas sale? I will probably be gone from a week before Christmas until around Dec 30 or so; any idea if I will still catch sale items by the time I come back?


The online sale usually starts as soon as dot.com cant meet christmas delivery dates.So could be late November ,if my memory serves me well. . I think I will wait for Jan sale instore ,as I really dont want to use dot.com again, until its put right.Here is hoping for more 75% off madness this year.

For anyone new............you need to wait up until all hours, on sale night, and madly put stuff in your basket....its a grabit bootsing tradition.:rotfl:

Im gonna go before I get in trouble for chat. Sorry to anyone I have annoyed with my rambling:o

Just had an email from Boots saying my order has been 'partially dispatched'. I'M FUMING because they have cancelled the 3-4-1 No7 Mirrors. They have also removed 2 washing powders. Now I am just getting 2 fabric softeners that I have still had to pay P&P on. I only added the laundry stuff as extras as they are heavy to get home when hanging off buggy handles. I really wanted the mirrors as it was going to save me a fortune at Xmas. Anyone else had a similar problem and what did you do about it? Thanks

Quick update to the above... I rang Boots CS this evening and they have refunded the P&P of £2.95 after I explained I could have gone into a store and picked up 2 fabric softeners!

They then checked stock levels for the No7 mirrors and still had none left. I asked why they had confirmed my order in the first place if they had none left and was told some other people may have paid online for mirrors at the same time as me and the system tells everyone there is enough stock when they place an order. What a screwy system! :mad: Makes me really nervous about ordering anything on dot.com now.

Good luck to those of you waiting for an order and empathy for others who had partial dispatches/cancelled orders like me.

What date does this normally happen and do they open at a silly time in the morning?

Could anyone tell me what this 342 haircare glitch is please? I've just read back several pages and everyone references it, but I can't see what the actual glitch is! Thanks :rolleyes:

Hi flower. As far as I am aware, there is no glitch as such, but quite a lot of posh hair care products have been reduced heavily, brands I saw were Lee Stafford, Mark Hill and Charles Worthington. As they are on 3 4 2 it is a double bargain. For example, I got 3 Charles Worthington products which had been reduced from £1.75 to £1.24. When I got to the till, I thought bullish, this ain't a big bargain. I was super surprised when I looked at the receipt as they had gone through at 43p, 43p and the last one was free via the 3 4 2. So in all, it was a big bargain. Hope this helps. *pout* *** Also saw a lot of old style Time Delay stuff at Albion Street in Leeds. It was not on clearance, but the prices did seem quite cheap. There was boxes of cream or whatever it was for £1.50 and other stuff at £3.00 and £5.00 etc. Have a look as they are on 3 4 2 too. Cheers my dears.
