Hi all,

Quick question. I ordered a couple of things from the sale yesterday, and bulked it up with essentials to get free delivery. One of those things was some vitamins and I bought 3 (342). On .com it now says “under pharmacist review” by my order. Does anyone know how long it will take this is replaced by order processing, or whatever the next step is?
Thanks,

Btw… I used a pantene sachet on my hair last night, and I was still able to wear my hair down today after blow drying last night. Normally have to have it up as it never looks good the morning after.

I can't imagine they really do a pharmacist's review on vitamins (assuming they are normally sold over the counter), but if they really do need a review, you'll probably get your order a couple of days after the scheduled delivery date while they get approval. That is what happened to me before, and someone else said she had the same experience.

i am doubting this a lot as beckton clearnace is not that big and they have reduced items there anyway...i think only some stock will go there.

ah ok, im so confused by it all anyway really. Its the most stupid thing ever, Boots has over a week and they still never fixed it. Oh well, hope it comes back online although not sure it will

AHHHHHHHHH

The No7 travel essentials bag is back in stock on .com but its now £50.
I know you really really wanted one of these so I would say its worth a shot ( it's easier if its just one item - I had two so thought they would say no or you can only buy at full price )

I REALLY REALLY NEED ONE for my mum. Dont know if i dare push my luck and pay full price in the hope that i can return and rebuy at 75% off. Cos if the CS says no i can't rebuy it - i will be so tepted to keep hold of it but i know its not worth the £50 price tag. You'd still have the extra points

Although if i travel to a different store where i am NOT recognised they might allow it, but if i go to my local - they will point blank refuse just beacuse its me. If your like me there several store you could try and honestly they never questioned it today at all just put it straight through & if you say CS said there shouldn't be a problem ( what they actually said to me was it is possible but depends on manager )

I suppose its a case of if you dont ask you dont get?
I always ask ( everywhere not just Boots ) and 95% of the time I get

( my husband avoids going shopping with me because hes easily embarassed where I have no shame when it comes to a bargain just keep a straight face & smile)

I managed to get an order through yesterday - oddly enough it was mostly non-sale items as I needed bits and pieces and decided to order via .com for the points (used DHs account as I had already used all the codes on my own account). I did add a couple of sale bits and it all went through, was authorised and I received an order number. I paid for next day delivery as a couple of the items are for a birthday gift for tomorrow.

The order history shows the order, shows the guaranteed delivery date of 23.01.09 but the order is only showing as being processed and I have not received a dispatch email with tracking number. I can't phone CS cos it's DHs account and not mine and he is away. So, I sit and wonder!

I didn't snatch anymore sale goodies from you lot who missed out first time...I ordered the Sony 4GB USB drive (4 of them) for birthday gifts over the next few weeks...left the rest for you lot only it looks like boots are not going to put the sale back online now.

My finger is hovering over the order button.

I cant really afford to spare the £50 right now, my mum already knows i cant get hold of one and i really havent got the balls to take it back and push my luck.

I guess i will just have to let it go

Oh, i hope so, haven't managed to get all the things i wanted yet, so i really really hope so.:D

Apparantly those of us who paid for next day delivery should have recieved an email to notify us all that although the next day delivery option was available when checking out it shouldnt have been so therefore all next day deliveries are being treated as normal deliveries and are now due to be sent out for delivery on monday.

I placed an order on my DH's account last week as my acount was getting the error message. When I rang to ask about it (twice) I just said it was hubby's account and they were perfectly happy to talk to me about it. They can just search by postcode to find it, you don't need any more than that.
