Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 47 - Post your finds here

LinzisMummy

Went to Parkgate, Rotherham store tonight.

Nothing much there, though they did have quite a few of the Bach sets, the ones in the yellow box.

And then oodles of wrap, bookends, some of the mulled wine sets and a little bit of reduced No7.

If anyone in South Yorkshire spots a St Tropez ultimate collection can you pls pls pls let me know ty

Technically they were correct as they specify not to be used in conjunction with any other offer or reduced items etc

However alot of SA's work on the policy of it scans then it is fine(CS will back this up too). Some lovely SA's will also manually reduce prices or add points though if they do not scan

If you know others are having things scan, but they are not allowed on the voucher t&c's then I take to a counter like pharmacy/baby/photo as the SA's are not so clued up about beauty and will scan most things without looking

Yeah, I thought she was 'technically' right so I didn't argue. Thanks to both you and mini for the advice

Does anybody know if the fragrance gift sets are going to be reduced further in store??

I believe that it was said in a earlier post that they were being kept until Mother's Day and may be reduced after that.

The sale went pear shaped on Wednesday on .com and they are trying to sort it out.

My order is still showing as pending and no cancellation email so I guess that they are still sorting out the orders from Wednesday.

Sale Update

We are experiencing temporary issues with our January sale here on Boots.com and currently cannot offer this service.
We'd like to apologise for any confusion caused and thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this issue.
To make the most of Boots fantastic sale offers we recommend you visit your local store where many products are still available at up to 75% off. To find out where your local Boots store is please use the store locator.



I am also confused as I still have items in my basket but new items are being added on .com and I can't remember what was in sale and what is new.

Please has anyone any idea how to tell the difference, in the eventual hope that they fix the problem?

Also has anyone any idea of stocks in store in Croydon / Bromley as I'd like to get a few items if possible? I had a quick look in Bromley yesterday morning but the shelves were pretty empty.

Thanks to everyone and especially Broclo for the helpful information.

Can anyone tell me where the n07 electical items are usually found in stores? I just had a look online and fancy the heated eyelash curlers with one of my blinkies. I did have a quick look in the London Colney store today with the normal nail files and eyelash curlers etc but they weren't there.

Saw them in High Street Southampton last night, near to all the other electrical stuff. Gave them a miss as I believe they may be included in one of the sets I bought earlier in the week. I did pick up one of the mini trimmers - reduced to £5.83 I think. SA wouldn't accept Blinkie - she read the back and it does say electrical items excluded, and a 250 points voucher wouldn't scan, but she did add them on manually as she couldn't find any exclusions on the voucher.

Not much left apart from St Tropez sets and there were loads of those, mince pie and mulled wine sets and a few oil burners. Shelves of reduced No 7, nail varnish, body polishes, tan enhancers, etc. HTH

Er since it started to be honest :rolleyes:

It was online for approx 12 hours until Boots had to pull it as their site kept crashing big style sadly. Some got orders in others did not.

Why are boots not working all the hours god sends to try to reslove this for their customers? Their cs closes at 7pm and email not working. Completely poor service. Sorry I am getting to the point of moaning but I am sure you all feel the same

I know its really frustrating and Mr B really needs to sort out his website as its always been slow at best of times.

The only thing i would say in Mr B's defence tho is that the people who did manage to get orders in are receiving their orders very quickly even days before they were due for delivery so i think behind the scenes they are working hard but i know no consolation to those still wanting to put a sale online order in.

I fancy a trip to Harrow first thing. If I find them, I will buy them, and then we can meet up and sort it out. I will pm you if I find them.

Sorry for posting this again but not not got an answer. Is anyone ordering on line the sale stuff on line at full price, then taking it back to a store and buying it back at 75% off.

That is exactly what I intend doing. I don't foresee a problem, as the item I have bought was stocked at my local branch. Worst way, I will get a refund and be none the worse off.
