Really? I had to make do with a smelly RM driver who should learn what deodorant is.

Yeah, but the TA's are a load of nancy boys (joke btw, my Uncle is a TA and served in Iraq, albeit as kitchen staff)

kingshir - you can return it to a store for a refund, take the dispatch note with you

Brilliant information! :TThank you so much Summer01, guess which shop I'll be in on Thursday morning??:p

Mine arrived yesterday and I must agree with previous posters who said it wasn't worth £7.50 never mind the original £35!!

It looks really faded as if it has been out in the sun - certainly not good enough to give to anyone as a present. Never mind it will do for a soap bag for my son for his holiday - he will never notice lol!!

They are back in stock, I ordered 3 today. I'll use them for gifts but I will buy a prettier bag to put the tolietries in.

I also filled the personal message for the body shop gift cards as "best wishes from both of us"

I bet all my family have bought the same thing!!

Just a reminder if anyone is giving these as Christmas presents their is a voucher inside that give £5 but has an expiry date of 31 March 2009 so make sure that you remove it before giving it.

There wasnt one in mine. I hope there wasnt anyway as it's already wrapped!!!!!!!

Both mine had one in. got all excited then realised that it was out of date .

Have to decide whether to give them to teachers or keep them as christmas presents now.

I also got the e-mail, but instead of ordering on-line I went into my local bodyshop and they had loads also for £7.50, to be honest with you I was very chuffed, I thought it was definitely worth that, in fact I had 92p left on my bodyshop giftcard and used that towards the purchase which came to £6.58, considering the 50g bodybutters are like £5, I thought it was a super bargain, I dont know about anyone else but I got an e-mail from bodyshop about 2 weeks ago offering free delivery no minimum spent, I bought a 250ml Rasberry Shower gel for £3 and the cranberry shimmer lotion 60ml for £2, so only spend £5 in all, have put that in the bodyshop vanity case will make a pretty decent crimbo pressie me thinks, I would certainly be happy with that:)

I have just found out you can only return to branches which are not franchise, but if you call the freephone number on the back of the dispatch note they'll tell you which ones these are...

I don't normally follow up on my own posts but, having just looked at the two reviews on the Body Shop webpage, I notice that they also mention that the case is "military-looking" Interesting to see both reviews are quite negative, it's a shame really that people only bother to leave reviews when they are displeased :rolleyes: Reading this thread, I see several satisfied customers so maybe they could leave positive reviews to counterbalance the existing ones? (Might do one myself before I go to bed later).
