I placed an order earlier forgot to double check basket & I'm getting 4 of something that I don't even want, paid by paypal (as it kept crashing with credit card) and don't fancy returning through .com as there returns are suppose to be very poor so I think I might chance them on Ebay, would offer them here but I've aleady got told off and don't want to get my log in suspended

If anything like me you know you can take them back to your Boots store

Well I think it's because all the folk that have had things sitting in their baskets for weeks waiting for the moment to buy have all given up in despair and had a clean out. And now the ONE unsold S&G set in the whole of Boots.com is showing up as in stock again, rather than being virtually in 50,000 shopping baskets simultaneously.

FYI pink pamper has 34 in stock. (not going to bother checking the rest of S&G). I really don't think people having things in baskets has caused them to go out of stock, because if that was the case then the whole sale would have gone oos. I do agree though that people keeping 99 of an item was probably a factor in the problems.

I personally think Boots have perhaps managed to fix one of the major glitches of the site, hence the sudden influx of stock on the site?

C'mon guys, tell me about Advantage Card bonus points mailings, please! I am going loopy not knowing if I have a mislaid one here I need to hunt for or if I haven't received it yet!

I was ill for a prolonged period recently and my house is chaos, hence having no clue what's going on, or where anything is! (That is my excuse and I am sticking to it!)

The mailing vouchers on post 1 are ones that came out a couple of weeks ago which are valid until about 24/2

Good luck to all getting up early, I hope the sale does come back Maybe if people kept a list of quickshop codes and an empty basket would be a way to get things in quickly without causing the generic error of leaving stuff in the basket?

Even 34 S&G sets is probably about one hundredth of the number Boots.com really need, lol. Anyway, it wasn't the actual having them in baskets that seemed to be the problem, it was trying to check them out all at once when there weren't enough to meet the demand.

virtually

In anticipation of the possibly, maybe, hopefully, sale coming back tonight I added the things back in stock from my favourites that I haven't been able to get. Thing is, I can't get any voucher codes to work. Wondered if other people's codes were working for them okay? Thanks.

Normally they do & pre this fiasco, we were reliably informed that the date would be Wednesday 28th Jan, but with the way it is looking & the lack of any decent stock (unless you want wrapping paper, etc) its not gonna be worth it, anyway!

If they ever get their act together & get this sale online, even at 75%, I'll eat my hat!!

Watch this space!!

Brilliant thanks for that! Another stupid question but. Is it instore aswell? or just online


Thanks

Me too. over 20 items all oos, now all back in stock
But I think I know what's happened - during the .com crash warehouse staff were sitting around bored with nothing to do, and decided to open that door at the far end of the warehouse, and guess what? they found shelves and shelves of S+G, No.7, itng, etc piled high. They are, as we speak, informing head office that the sale can go back on!
Well a girl can dream can't she?

They just found 12 Country Living hampers too :rolleyes:
I hope they eat them all and their teeth fall out :rotfl:

Hello

Can anyone tell me when the No7 3for2 finishes please? Have searched everywhere that I can think of and cannot find a date.

Many thanks

We expect it to end Tuesday, the 27th.
