Hi everyone!

I waited to see if this would be delivered. I had pre-planned what i was going to order. I planned to order some Nivea Handbag Must Have sets. They are priced at £10 in the Boots Christmas book. Also as you are no doubt aware it is 3 for 2 on Christmas Gifts. When i went onto the site the set was priced at £6 and the Nivea Nail Set which is £6 in the book is £10 on the site. Clearly this is a mix up. I therefore order my planned two of the Must Haves and they were delivered to me today. I was charged £6 (well £4 as i got another item for £6 so got 3 for 2). When i received the items they are marked £10.

Hope this helps. Here is the link:

Good spot Lawstudie83! :j

I think this is instore too. DD and I were looking at the nivea sets when they first put out the christmas stock a while ago. We noticed (well, DD actually spotted the error) the sets were a different price to the SELS. One set was priced at 10.00 and the other at 6.00, but the SELS were the other way around.

Thanks Hopot4 and Passion8 (sorry not figured out how to quote 2 posts!)

AAAARRRGGGHHH....I knew that deep down but just didn' want to argue with her. She probably thought that was her bonus being given away (despite the fact that I spent almost £15 in that transaction - split into 2 of course fro 2 pinkies!!!)

I think I'd complain about that IndianGirl, as I had the same problem unfortunately.

See the question - Why doesn't my local store have an advantage card extra offers kiosk? online here:

I went to a small Boots today and amongst 342 FCUK items wanted to get free Eye Dazzle (with eye liner )ACM voucher beeped so SA asked a senior SA who would not let me have it as that store does not have an ACM. SHe said you can only use those vouchers in the store that has ACM - Is this true or can you use ACM vouchers in any store?

my local store was funny as well at accepting them she even thought id phtocopied it ...aye and printed it o a boots till roll lol


asked her how they didnt have an advantage offer machine like they did in the next town ...we are a smaller store was her reply

Hi AB
If I order things from .com to be delivered to store can I then use vouchers when I pick them up?
TIA

No, as you enter your payment details on the website and they charge your account when your order is despatched. If you want to use vouchers e.g. gift card, old style gift vouchers, high street vouchers etc. use the instore ordering service and these can be used for payment. You do get the extra points offers that are online, like the current 600 points one, ONLY if the points are automatic and do not require a voucher code.

they were full price on the shelf in my store on saturday but went through at half price ...plus got 5-00 off using pinkie
....i told SA they were advertised half price in christmas book ...was going to get a few of the pedicure sets herself when she saw what it went through at

Thanx for that. I didnt realise these were half price in the mag. I have yet to get a good look thru the mag (too busy lurking on here lol). There were no signs up saying half price instore either and if the SAs that work for Boots dont know the prices then how are the rest of us meant to find out (apart from this forum of course lol)

Teasing peeps with cryptic posts? You so n so :rotfl: Hiya btw, and you pick your days off well - it was bedlam in there earlier

me teasing peeps on here? You sure? I think you might be getting me mixed up with someone else

My mate said it was real busy in there. I didn't think it would be that busy as usually the first ones are fairly quiet compared to the other two.

Anyway, finally got some inserts for the FCUK thing, so any help as to how to use it would be most appreciated Had to travel to York to get them though :rolleyes: Ditto re the R&M mirrors - not allowed through in AB's store :rolleyes: lol.
Also got the UG Spa Rituals :j (none in his store either lol) Ditto for the No7 gloves, No7 Cleansing sponges, and Lord knows what else

Felt guilty about buying half-price BCC lip gloss and face powder, but slightly redeemed when I was charged twice for the BCC keyring (great for hampers btw).
Found someone's AC in the machine :eek: - couldn't hand it in quickly enough, so I'm hoping karma's at work and I can get a R&M mirror and case in my 'local store' (note that AB :rotfl: )

Some really nice things in Monk's Cross which I've never seen before, like the Benefits Bag - one's got my name on it already

Did manage to get a cute little mobile phone/mp3 cover in AB's store - £3 and for Children in Need. They also look like neat little stocking fillers.

No clearance at all in Monk's Cross, and nothing to write home about in KW lol. Apart from cough medicine

ETA: Is there any chance of ordering ipods instore AB? I keep reading about them in cpg's opening posts, (thanks cpg) but are they discontinued online as well as instore?

What are the R&M mirror and case? Is it the one on p65 of the gift guide? If so I can check for you on friday (if i remember!).

I know what you mean about the cough medicine! Blooming taking over the reduced end lol

AFAIK, the ipods are discontinued throughout the company. I will check couple of the stores listed in CPG's post and let you know (if I remember again!)

SS thanks for the heads up on the R&M mirror going through 3 4 2 with other xmas goodies plus getting another pinkie in with the bargain x
