Hello All
I hate to do this but Im quiet dissapointed at someones behaviour.....I recently contacted a fellow bootster with a veiw to do a swap for 2 pinkies as I had some vouchers that I knew she would like.
Long and short I sent my vouchers out on the 15/10/08 and dispite my sending 2 PM's this person has not bothered to respond to me and I havent rec'd the vouchers that they agreed to swap.
Now to be fair I've sent 2 PM's asking if my vouchers had been rec'd but nothing and I asked when they had sent the vouchers out...still nothing.....

I think this is probably the reason swapping isn't encouraged on on MSE as there could be occasions where people take advantage...sorry to hear you had a bad experience. There is a swaps board over on PTS I think.

The other thing you can get, almost free, with one pinkie or one ts is No7 Younger Longer time resisting hand cream. It's reduced to £5.13 so with pinkie/ts you pay just 13p. No7 SA very helpful when I asked for it.

I had a similarly bad experience (twice!) and thus will never risk it again I've also had some good experiences with lovely MSErs but its always the minority spoil it for the majority of good people. Sorry to hear this angel I lost £12 but was my own fault I suppose

Yes, it can be SA dependant, but the till will accept it. So if you can convince the SA "Oh, it worked last time/for my friend, just try it, please" and there is no beep they might let it thru. Try a different SA/Boots. My local has one SA that actually gets her glasses out and reads e-v-e-r-y w-o-r-d, very slowly. (I don't go to her anymore!)

my local has more than one SA like this. I avoid them at all costs;)

not been bootsing for a couple of days. I've not even tried the 3 4 2 xmas gifts glitch yet with pinkie and tillspit:eek: Was going to give it a go today, but not in the mood. I've had an awful migrane all day and nothing will shift it. Off to bed in a minute to try and sleep it off.

Well, I'm off to the new Westfield Shopping Centre on Friday, which is bound to have a Boots

Let us all know what the new Westfield Boots is like - it should be really fab. Does it have SS tills, does it carry all the xmas gift range, any special opening offers?

All,
I've got 2 x Mens guide to looking good inserts(with Free Hydro Razor voucher, Half price FCUK kit bag voucher, 10% off time delay for men, £2 off Botanic mens washbag) If anybody would like them, pm me, if you've got a pinkie or ts to swap it would be nice, but if not, don't worry.

Sorry to hear this jamtart and angel:( I guess I've been lucky then, as I've never had a problem with swops. Although, I know It does happen sometimes.

One thing that does annoy me however, is when I send vouchers to someone and they don't bother to thank me. How long does it take to send a pm?
