Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 45 - Post your finds here

My mum has one of the ruby and millie OOTW. She has decided she prefers the NO7 OOTW.

She doesnt have the receipt anymore.

If she returned it to store would they credit her with £50? The full price of the R&M set.

So that she can exchange it for the No7 OOTW and get a few other bits to make it up to the £50.

Also if she did this would the till give her the bonus points that are happening this weekend??

I have just been to use all my BLUE HAIRCARE vouchers on the small JOHN FRIEDA FRIZZ EASE.

1 SA said NO, can't cos it's a MINI, gave her a *mega pout*

1 SA said I'LL TRY, worked, was not impressed though, I gave her a *pout*

1 SA said NO, called over a manager, who said NO too, I gave her a *super mega pout*

So watch out if you try to do this. Might not work! Took in all my BLUES, only used one! Tsk!

Don't know whether it is any good but vosene now do a child's shampoo with a head lice repellent and a leave in spray

I'll look for that too, thanks. We seem to get through shed loads of shampoo here so a couple of extra types to try is no problem.

Okay, advice needed. I've never had to take anything back in Boots, as I have a hide like a rhino normally. However I bought two boxes of these Umberto Giannini Spa Rituals for hair on 2-4-£6, tried one and my scalp is still itching several days later. So, questions...

1)I can take both the complete and the part used box back if I'm allergic to them, yes?

2) Where exactly do you go for refunds? Our store only has the big line of main tills plus pharmacy/photogrphy/cosmetic counters. Do you just go to the main tills?

3) I don't have the receipt but I assume they'll only give me back the £6. I'm certainly not going to lie about them being on the offer. Or do they automatically give you the current store price?

4) If you don't have the reciept then do they give you a gift card instead? I'm okay about that but I don't mind them looking at my AC for recent purchases. Nothing to hide there.

5) I got an extra 100ACM points for buying an UG product. I presume they'll want these back?

6) I'm intending to just say "Bought these, they make me itch like crazy. I'd like to return them." Is that enough?

I just like to know the drill so I can sweep in confidently. In my experience some SAs will eat you alive if you display the slightest sign of doubt over the store refund procedure, lol. All input welcome!

When I bought mascara that made my eyes swell up i e mailed customer services first and they sent me a code to take in to store so that I got no hassle from SA. In fact they were very nice and gave me a customer survey to fill in

Just the other day, someone said they had the above vouchers to swap. I'm interested in them. PM me whoever it was or whoever else wants to swap. I have 2 x 250 extra points when you buy ANY NO 7 and and I will probably get some more BLUES in soon. Cheers.

Also, can someone tell me how much the NO 7 bathing robe/dressing gown thing is and if it is online on BOOTS.COM as both my Mom and Dad want one. Cheers.

1)I can take both the complete and the part used box back if I'm allergic to them, yes? Take both, up to you if you want to take one. But I think it's best to have both. You will only chuck the other one in the bin.

2) Where exactly do you go for refunds? Our store only has the big line of main tills plus pharmacy/photogrphy/cosmetic counters. Do you just go to the main tills? Go to the normal tills, if they can't help, they will tell you where to go, or to a senior SA that can do refunds/exchanges.

3) I don't have the receipt but I assume they'll only give me back the £6. I'm certainly not going to lie about them being on the offer. Or do they automatically give you the current store price? They will give you the store price, they will scan it and give you back whatever price shows up on the screen. You can be honest or just play dumb, up to you.

4) If you don't have the reciept then do they give you a gift card instead? I'm okay about that but I don't mind them looking at my AC for recent purchases. Nothing to hide there. No gift card honey. They will tell you go and get something else to exchange it for. Have a good think about what you want beforehand, as it is stupid running around the store thinking of things you may want.

5) I got an extra 100ACM points for buying an UG product. I presume they'll want these back? They won't know about the 100ACM points offer, you can be honest and tell them they had an offer on, or just act dumb.

6) I'm intending to just say "Bought these, they make me itch like crazy. I'd like to return them." Is that enough? That's absolutely fine. Most SA's are very sympathetic. However, I got a troll when I took some NO 7 For Men stuff back with red blotches all over my face. The SA was like "What is the problem again?" I was like "Look at the face woman! It's clear for all to see". Pah!

I just like to know the drill so I can sweep in confidently. In my experience some SAs will eat you alive if you display the slightest sign of doubt over the store refund procedure, lol. All input welcome!

Don't be frightened at all. Some SA's are complete trolls, but most of them are super nice. At the end of the day, if the product is not right for you, you are entitled to a refund.

Last time I encountered this I replied "it's not a mini, its handbag sized, and it worked the other day - can you try it" - BIG smile (and its always gone through )

My Boots card arrived this morning, been waiting since October when signed up online, then 2 weeks ago phones Free CS line, stated no record, so signed me up there and then. So 2 official weeks to get to me. Now just need to pop in store and add the 4920 points earned onlinefor 3 transactions.
