Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 47 - Post your finds here

Again, this might just be coincidence but I couldn't log in using Internet Explorer, but tried using Slimbrowser and was logged in first time (instantly), looked through stock, added to basket and and was able to go through to the payment page with no delays or errors.
Give it a try - good luck all!!!!!

Totally ridiculous. I'm so angry now I probably won't sleep anyway! Not the best mood to start the day when seriously sleep deprived (all for nothing). I can't get to a store so this was my only chance. :mad:

Not sure what you were after Nbirdy but I managed (stoopid Boots site) to place 3 orders of stuff. You are more than welcome to get first dibs on stuff that i will be taking back.

PM me if your interested.

Morning all - I lost hope too was at laptop poised for action at 2:50 this morning with tea in hand - everything happened so quickly at 3:04 it kicked off and I lost heaps in my basket then got the generic error all because the soap and glory grab bag had gone oos. The -3 sign appeared in my basket and I could get no further.It let me log out and I opened a new window and ordered as a guest. It took ages, the first order at check out left me with a blank page. Second attempt took security details from my card holder (so I knew it was getting there, lol) after 10 mins and still a blank page I opened a new page and checked order history and it was there - order received have printed it off just incase. Long post - but might help someone.

A good day to all

Bloody "generic application error"!! When I first logged in, I had £135 in my basket & now its showing MINUS £15.76!! Looks like everything has gone - !!!!!!!! All that time wasted, putting stuff in my basket. And nothing I'd put in my favourites list, in the hope they'd re-stock has come back into stock. It won't even let me add any "non-sale" stock items to my basket, it just keeps telling me the action can't be done because one or more of the items are not available & this is on ANYTHING I try to add to my basket. This website is pants!! And I'm suffering from girl-flu this morning, so thats not the best start to my day! Time for work, I think..........!!

PS: If anyone goes instore & spots the Marc Jacobs Daisy sets (someone on here said they saw them in store in Portsmouth or was it Plymouth? - but I'm in Manchester) & would be so kind as to buy one, I will happily pay for the postage to get it to me!! I know, long shot & all that, but just thought I'd mention it!! lol!!

Good luck to you all, hope the Basket Fairy is kinder to you than it was to me!!

I think we just need to all get this into perspective, which is hard with lack of sleep and spending delirium, lol! Just like in a shop where staff physically has to remove old stock and promotions to make room for the new sale, this has to happen online. Generally, these happen in stages at the early hours of the morning when the least amount of people are known to be shopping! This is why some of us have been able to put things in our basket at new sale price, why others haven't, come the start of the working day everyone SHOULD be able to shop as normal! PATIENCE PEOPLE!
