Do you know if the 4 in 1 wipes considered as cosmetics?

I tried to use the 250 points on the reduced suncare - lip and eye thing but it beeped. The SA said it is classified as suncare, not cosmetics

No, the wipes are skincare I'm afriad- cosmetics are on the makeup stand- anything that needs to be taken off at the end of the day is a cosmetic in my mind- but think they tend to be stored on the other side of the NO.7 counter in most cases.

I realise that now thanks, my brain just went into overdrive as this has happened to me before! I still don't think it's on that they are this disorganised though.

Thank you, I think that wipes are cosmetics since you need them to take the cosmetics off! lol

Do you think I can use this to argue with the SA? :rotfl:

Hope I can find a willing SA to add the points manually

I got some Pore refining serum last week (£2.83 each x 3 = 66p after blinkie and 3 for 2) tried to use 250 point voucher and it beeped but SA was more than happy to manually add them for me. Like most things at Boots, it seems that it depends on the SA. x

The wall have really big ears lately :eek: :eek: For any newbies who were not already aware of this, please note. The more something is talked about the faster it is fixed.

Perhaps once something has been explained, if someone asks a question that was covered in the earlier explanation, we should just tell them it has been discussed in the last day and that they can do a search. Put nicely, of course, lol. People with a lot of exacting questions who want it spelt out over and over could be asked to PM someone, or someone could say "I will PM you with details"? That last part should be put on the board so others don't go back and answer the question, too.

Also, people could stop posting just to say such-and-such glitch that has already been reported just worked for them, too (unless the poster had some new information about how it worked or what items it worked with). Don't know how well people will stick to this idea, but it would be nice to keep deals from getting busted.

I'm going to have a degree in Boots maths before long, thanks to everyone here.

My mental arithmetic has shapened loads since I started shopping in blinkies-worths, and I'm going to write myself a list for my next Bootsing trip, including what I want the total spend to be to maximise my mailings/vouchers/last of my blinkies.

My brain is a bit frazzled at the thought, but I'm sure once I've written it all down, it will make perfect sense

Popped into Ramsgate boots this morning, they had the bach remedies gift sets reduced to £5.00, and some badger lip and body balm reduced to £1.92.

Hi there

Has anyone noticed any sale stuff left in any of the Edinburgh area stores?

I was in Straiton last night and they had a stand with quite a lot of the reduced No7 sun stuff all between £2.50 and £5.

Well said skibster.and great advice about the PM's:T :T :T I have seen the same message/s posted over and over about how such a thing was done/achieved/worked by the same people. Posting it once is enough. If not everyone sees it thats the way it is. Some glitches will pass us by and some we will catch. You wont get them all, so don't even try.

Filling up pages with the same stuff will get peoples backs up, they then report the posts for chat and we have problems again.:eek: :eek:

I realise that it may be difficult for new posters, but there is always the BOOTS refugees thread which is very under used, and was kindly set up by Mrs bluebear for Boots chatting. This thread will also be monitored, I am sure, but at least chatting is allowed freely there

But if everyone who posts could just imagine that what they are saying is being teleported to Boots CS at exactly the same time, perhaps they will think twice in what they post and how often they post it. Dont post here what you would not say to CS

We all learn as we go along, so we have all made mistakes in the past. but if we can get Grabbit back to grabbit again, maybe more people will be satisfied and others will stop complaining and reporting .

Careless talk costs[strike] lives [/strike]glitches


Edit :-O.K guilty as charged, before anyone says I should have posted this on refugees

I'm very happy as my Boots order has finally arrived. :j (Sorry, to all those who couldn't get their things).

I have to say I was impressed at how well the package arrived. As previous posters have stated items have arrived broken, damaged or have leaked all over the other items. However, this time it all came in one piece and nothing was damaged. I had even ordered two of the ceramic money boxes and these were wrapped in cellophane and then placed in a small box and sealed before being put into the huge box! Wow! Wonders will never cease. :A
