Boots.com

I ordered some presents on boots.com and got 3 things on the 3 for 2 doodah!
On saturday I got an e-mail saying that one of my items wasn't in stock and they didn't know when they'd get more so they were cancelling it and were gonna give me a £5 voucher with my delivery.

I checked my order and it was the free thing from my 3 for 2 which had been cancelled and still showed full prices for the other two! I didnt even got an option of selecting a different 3rd thing even though I checked the website and the item I wanted was still showing in stock so I didnt know what was goin on.

Today I got my order in the post and only the 2 items were in it, I checked website and they still have stock of the 3rd thing (7 in fact) and there was absolutely no paperwork with my delivery, no delivery note and no £5 voucher!!

So now I'm without my 3rd free £14 item and without my £5 compensation voucher! >:(
I've just mailed them but it says it may take some time to reply 'cos "its a busy time" for them!

    i ordered a load of stuff from them yesterday. bit worried now. let us know how you get on.
  • ..from other posts on this site it sounds like Boots are making a complete hash of this 3 for 2 offer. At the very least I would insist that they deliver your "free" item. If not, they should credit you in full for the "free" item if they are not able to offer a substitute.
    There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...

    I received my latest order on Friday. There were FIVE out of the 11 items I ordered missing!! I couldn't believe they had the cheek to send it without contacting me :( They had given me a code for £5 off my next order but since the missing free items were worth £37 I sent it all back and told them (politely) where to stick it!!

    It's put me right off ordering from them again :-[
