Hubby popped into the Watford branch at 8.30 opening time to pick me one up for Xmas, bless him. He said the place was empty and there were masses of the hatboxes there, so anyone near Watford should be okay for a few hours.......

I got two in Bromborough Wirral today - I doubt they'll have any left by lunchtime. The shelves were already half empty.

Just picked one up from the Mansfield store, lots of people in the queue with one or two. About 7 left when I was there. SA's said she thinks they will be sold out by 11am!

Love itttt.

Thanks to the op for this - wouldn't have known about it til it was too late.

My mum went down to Robin Park Wigan this morning for mine, and there were about 2 dozen people waiting for Boots to open! Got inside & they'd not set up the display yet so as people were coming out the back with the hatboxes everyone was grabbing them she says! As they were leaving the staff were being told to restrict them to 2 per person!

I have 2 in my basket on the site, have chosen where to pick up then crash after crash.
I wonder how long the items stay in the basket, does anyone know?
As well as being a nuisence for this offer it must be a disaster for Boots as this must be the busiest weekend for trading and their otheronline customers must be soooo annoyed that the site keeps crashing.

I had mine in my basket for a couple of days, so they will stay there but if it goes out of stock it will tell you when you checkout as they are not physically in your basket - if that makes sense. Keep trying though as it took me 2 hours to get mine to go through - I had the same problem of site crashing at payment stage. Eventually I came into work and did it on the computer there and it went through. Good luck

Can't even get onto the site despite trying at several different times. Its like the sales all over again. They really need to sort their website, hundreds of other sites can cope with high volume traffic.

CS told me there were currently 50,000 peple on the website, lol!

I dont know who's stupider - the eBay seller who tells you in the post that this can be bought from Boots or the eBay buyer who doesnt spot this and pays 99p for the 'privilege' of this info!

Just picked mine up from Hinckley town center. It's not a big store and the SA said she'd sold 6 by 9am and they didn't have many left.
