  • Am very very angry at Boots - they just cancelled my order. Bet if I had paid for 24 hour delivery I would have got it! >:(

    I'm sorry to inform you that we can't deliver the item you ordered from
    boots.com (order number XXX).

    Unfortunately, when your order reached the warehouse, the product was
    not available. As we can't guarantee when it will come
    back into stock, we have had to cancel your order. You've not been
    charged.

    I would like to offer you the promotional code of XXXXXX, which will
    give you a discount of £5 when you spend £10 or more on one future order
    placed on boots.com. This code is
    valid until the end of 31/01/2005.

    Please note this offer is single use and can't be used in conjunction
    with other promotional code offers. Your £10 spend excludes gift boxing,
    delivery charges, Chanel, Clarins, Gift Cards, Flowers, Boots Insurance
    and infant formula.

    If you want to be advised when the item becomes available, you can use

    I ordered one AND paid for nextday delivery - should have been delivered last Friday. No delivery, surprise surprise.

    It's called the great Boots Lottery. When I phoned on Saturday, I was told that they're having problems with the supply of these (oh, really??). I made some noises about "why does your system let me order them if you've got none??" The lady was most apologetic, and offered me 1000 A.C. points as a gesture.

    Boots are really p'ing me off at the moment too :(
    They cancelled an order for a PS2 way back in November but they keep witholding the 104.99 on my CC.
    They've done that twice since they cancelled my order :-X

    Just got back from Tesco in Milton Keynes - they're in stock!! I was in the big Tesco next to Focus on the big retail park (don't know if there are any others).
    I bought one off-shelf at 5:15 tonight - they have a slimline box which you take to the checkout, then you get sent to the audio help desk to collect it.
    I had a hell of a job getting someone to finally get one out of the store, but CS told me they'd just come in.
    So - Grab them while you can!! ;D ;D ;D
    p.s. This was the raw console deal for £99.97, without having to buy any of those game bundles which include rubbish you don't want.

    I have had 3 orders with them, all have been cancelled and the last 2 STILL say they are processing ??? Anyways I keep getting the money taken off and put back on, over £200 and it is messing my balance up so I will have extra charges as its a solo >:( What else could go wrong with Bleeping Boots (thanks for that phrase Addy ;))
    :j :j
  • I've been wondering why there is so much money withheld from my card, they are holding it back from mine too - if they make my mortgage bounce they will be in HUGE trouble - goes through on the 23rd.... >:(

  • I've got a PS2 reserved in Newport - Maesglas Retail Park. have decided too far to go - if you want the reservation code let me know and I'll let you have it - first to PM me!
