    I got the email too and I too got the elle set :D was going to keep it for a present but....
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
  • I also placed an order about 8am yesterday and received an email late last night saying it had been despatched. My delivery date was next Thursday so I expect it will be here before that now.
  • Great news, glad to hear orders are going through.

    I wonder what they have done with my first one though, I hope it goes through, I may give them a call later on.

    I placed 2 orders yesterday - one at 7am and then again about 9.30am and both have been dispatched for delivery today. I also managed to order in the last sale too. I switched to IE instead of Firefox and it worked. I haven't been greedy and only ordered a few bits each time - birthday presents for me and presents for people I work with. I really hope other people get their orders - I feel really guilty that each time it has worked for me.

    Hi all
    I have phoned customer servicers today and they said my order had gone through, ordered yesturday at 7.45am, I asked why it had not taken payment and she said they will take it when they dispatch the itemjs but the order had gone through and my delivery date is next week, will let you know, still sceptical!!
    I wished upon a star tonight that I would see you once more,
    To hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you,
    To hear your voice, to kiss your cheek oh for just one more time,
    But all I have are memories and a heart full of love and tears.

    I have just tried again to place my order online as everything reappeared in my basket, got to payment page and its all still full price, so decided to ring CS, spoke to a lovely lady who told me that due to the madness and volume of people trying to get their sale bits when the website went live again yesterday, they have decided that the online sale will not be happening. I asked what would happen to the stock and she said you can buy it at full price and we will give you back the 75% in points, great if you want to spend them in Boots, 'nothing like capturing your customers '!!!!!. I did suggest that this didn't sound totally legal, she just half heartedly laughed.

    So that's it I guess, I can have the things I really wanted for gifts so long as Im prepared to give boots back the 75% I would have saved ! :cry:

    Of course its legal, Boots can sell their items at any price they wish. They do hundreds of offers where you get extra points for purchases so its no different to that.

    I'd be happy if they did it as have not been able to get an order through since the start.
