We went to the Sainsburys Retail Park store in Bolton this morning and they had a good supply. There were signs up clearly stating '1 per customer' though so please bear this in mind if you're in the store. My OH and I wanted 2 but luckily we went into the store together so could buy one each as the extremely grumpy SA wouldn't let us put them through the till together.

No queues though although everyone we saw leaving the store on the way in had the hatboxes in their big shopping bags

That's very cheeky that they are only letting you have 1 per person! My Boots this morning did have lots! People in front of me even had 4+!

The .com order phone number I've been given is 08451219088.
However, whilst the site is down the people on the order line can't do anything either. They said just keep trying on the site.
Managed mine paid through Paypal so I could get off the Boots site quickly, it worked.

my mum was at fosse park this morning and said it was carzy! That people were fighting over them, and people were buying them 6 at a time!!!!! She only wanted one for me and my sister.

hurray - I got through and paid at last.

But, what's this I read....
Important information


We aim to supply you with everything you have ordered but where this is not possible we will send you the available products and remove those that are unavailable. We will notify you of this and you will only be charged for what we despatch to you.


Is Boots saying it might not honour the order?????
Those of you buying in store might be making the best decision! :eek:

Got fed up waiting for the website to refresh after reaching checkout 3 times and only needing to verify my credit card! Grrr... phoned head office and managed to check availability at local stores and then phoned to find they have loads in stock - and this is is just 2 local (smallish) branches - and asked them to put my name on one. It's crazy that the 'traffic' has managed to crash the website because with the snow, lots of people will be internet shopping today and Boots will certainly lose business over this.
Good Luck to everyone who wants a hat box!

Well the baby decided to sleep until 5.30 = she never does that but i woke at 3 and ordered 2 then. Very pleased, great fun reading your posts last night, thanks everyone xx;)

Like a lot of people, stayed up until 01.30 and then gave up. (Really enjoyed the chat on this thread though - very entertaining.)

Went to bed dreaming of Soap & Glory, got woken up by babba at 05.45, went onto Boots site on mobile and then rushed downstairs and successfully ordered one to be collected from store on Tuesday.

Can't believe the site is down now, well I can really, but it should be able to cope with a reasonable amount of traffic.

Good luck to everyone who is still trying to get one - fingers and toes crossed.

Ha ha, my baby did the same - she normally always wakes up at 2.00/3.00 but decided to go through until 05.45.

Oh my god this is sooooooooooooooooooooo annoying!

I get either to choose delivery options, or payment options, then it crashes on me, GRRRRRRRRRRR!!

what's the head office number please? I've called the 08451219088 but they can't check anything as the system's down.
