Quinny Zapp @ Boots (instore) reduced to £75

Today in Boots Slough I noticed they have the Quinny Zapp in Black reduced from £149 to £75,

It looks like this

I nearly passed out as I paid £107 for it (with codes) from boots.com last week.

I have managed to get back the difference ( long story )

But I imagine most larger boots will stock it at the reduced price.. call first. Goes for over £100 on Ebay in this colour so a bargain.

Be quick though as I imagine they will be discontinuing this product

    How did you manage to get back the difference? I asked once after I found Items reduced by a further 50% + £4 off £10 or more, and they said no. I guess I should have just bought the items I wanted and gone back with the old receipts and been persistent for a refund lol. Note there is a big Boots thread ;)

    I complained to boots.com and went through a supervisor and a manager before they agreed to a refund of the difference.They weren't really happy about it,

    The other way though is if you paid by credit card and you have price protection on it as I believe you can claim the difference back that way. Worth a go.

    or you could go and buy one from store for £75 and send that back to boots.com to get your full amount refunded. ( this was what I was going to do if I didn't get anywhere on the phone )

    It isn't fair though that they offer the same item online for more than instore, especially in this case having to buy and carry a buggy with a baby and other kids in tow isn't easy. I will think twice before ordering from boots.com again.

    Me too. Well, £98 with Quidco back and Boots points.

    Now to find a Boots near me - Yorkshire - with stock @ £75 for a complaint...

    Cheers,

    Full price at Broadmead Bristol - Got them to do price enquiry. Why can they not have the same price across the country! Thought that I would be on to a bargain as have enough points to buy it at £75! Not to be:silenced:

    Thanks to OP. Got the last one in Slough :-)

    Phoned Reading before I went to Slough, and theirs were at full price. Camberley don't stock them.
