My local Boots had sold out of the fcuk bags when I finally got there this afternoon - I really want one for my niece for Christmas. Can any of you Boots experts tell me if they will get more stock in? Or is that it, and I have missed it?

The SA could only repeat "We've sold out" in response to my asking her. I had sort of noticed...

You can order it online and ask for it to be delivered to your local store. I'm not sure if it'll get there in time for Christmas.

It was me that said it was still £18. I didn't buy it but the girl in the store (live in a small town so know everyone in there) told me that it was still £18 and had not gone back up on price. That was yesterday afternoon about 2.30.

Ahh, thanks.
I was shopping in a larger town yesterday & picked up the FCUK bag for my sister. The Gok set was back up to £40 there.
On the way home I thought about it & decided to pop into my local little boots, pick up an online order & treat myself to a FCUK bag as well.

When I went in, I walked past the display & noticed they had about 8 FCUK bags. They also had quite a few Gok sets, but back at £40.
I was talking to the manager as he served me with my .com order. I asked him how many OOTW he usually had delivered... (thinking of the S&G offer next week. ) He said between 20 & 30, but he didn't expect the FCUK bags to last the day.
It seems then, they didn't sell too many of the Gok sets.

Anyway, as I headed back to the front of the shop to pick up my FCUK bag, there were only 2 left on the shelf. :eek: PHEW! That was a close shave. That'll teach me to chatter.

I would definitly order it on-line....tonight, just in case.
I usually order online for Boots, but I wouldn't risk store delivery at this late stage...I'm still waiting for an order from 30th November. I'd pay for home delivery instead if I were you.

PS. If it is anything like my local store..that's it. They get one delivery of OOTW..it's usually something they don't normally stock & once it's gone it's gone. I left one on the shelf at my local store yesterday soon after lunchtime.

The store should be able to order it for you online at their till to be delivered to the store for pick up or direct to you. You have to pay for it at the time but you can pay by points if you want to and have enough points to cover the complete cost. You can also use any points coupons applicable to the item and a total spend coupon if you have one (such as 150 points when you spend £25) if you pay by cash or card.

I did this last year for the F.C.U.K. bags as they did not have any when I went on the Sunday morning. This year I knew I had to go on Friday and got three then even though I had to go out in the frost and fog. My Grandson aged 16 asked me to get one for his girlfriend so I couldn't let him down.

I hope you get one - one way or the other - they are very nice.

I was in Shrewsbury stoe today and they said that they had just had another delivery in - so stores must be getting more throughout the promo

The SA should have suggested ordering it into the store for you as there were some avaliable on the instore ordering system today. So you can either do this instore or online whatever is easier for you.

Oooh Sandra. Did you need a receipt or anything?
I've got a spare Sanctuary set...do you think it will work with that too?

Also, does anyone know if you have the ability to cancel an online order once placed.
I was wondering, because I was thinking of ordering online after midnight & then popping into my local store to see if they had any, & if they do, cancelling the online order.

I'm not sure if you can cancel an online order (but I don't think so), but if you no longer want it, don't collect it as they only keep it instore for a certain number of days then return it to stock and refund you (like Next Directory do).

Thank you for your suggestions! I have ordered one online for store delivery - it should get there by Christmas!

Strange - I don't go into Boots SO often, but the offer of the week has been sitting there all week in piles so far. They had loads of that GOK thing left last Thursday.

Temptation got the better of me and i picked one up yesterday, really want to S&G i have loads of their stuff but couldn't resist this too, lovely bag and i had £15 of vouchers from ipsos i've been saving so only cost me a fiver!

There were only three left and i was first in my local, the assistant said they'
d be gone in the next hour (but distinctly got the impression the same happened yesterday - as if they put out so many each day??)

Will be waiting at the door next friday for the S&G, see you all there! and good luck!

Can anyone help me pls...My mum is going to go to Boots next Friday morning for me as I'm at work - does anyone have any idea of whereabouts in the store she should be looking pls? Are the offers of the week usually with the Christmas gifts or do they have a stand of their own. Sorry if it's a daft question, I'm trying to help her as much as I can. TIA for your help x

Was ready to go pay for it until i noticed an odd smell, is it just me or does anyone else reckon the bags smell a bit?

If you have brought a fcuk bag, then please comment if you think its smells odd (even if you think its just the mock leather).
I hope it is just the bags at our local, as i really want one.
