I have been into a store and the manager was telling the customer behind me that they have had an email from head office telling people NOT to order from online because the system has basically gone crazy. So many people are trying to buy it that it cant keep track of how many are being sold in relation to how many are left, and that some people that have bought it are going to be getting emails saying sorry but they are out of stock.

Hope that helps someone and you all manged to get one. My local was sold out within an hour of opening!

OH got mine from the larger Boots near work this morning but I have just been into town and walked past the small local Boots, a pinned up sign said that the OOTW had to be ordered at the till for collection at the store or home delivered - if the above is correct surely then their tills won't work showing stock etc, it must be all connected

I amso used to pressing F5 for reloading this thread and the boots page that I find myself doing it to the other web pages i have open too! ah i think this offer may have driven me nutty.

Slightly off subject but I ordered three christmas cakes from marks and spencer when they were on offer of the day and it told me the total was £35.25 however I just checked my online banking and they had taken £65.25 out of my account! I called to tell them and they said their computer messes up sometimes and they would give me back my money. Just thought i would draw attention to this so others can check. I will post this in a marks and spencer thread when I can drag myself away from this one!

Just posting what was heard, not saying it is 100% accurate.

But the warehouse must be able to cope with the SAs ordering it on the tills individually rather than thousands of people bombarding the site at the same time. I can understand why it would be easier for boots if it was ordered in store

Hi, is this Rainham in Kent or Rainham in Essex? Suspect it is Rainham in Kent. Ta

There are 2 ootw in Ventura Tamworth store - the S&G and a silver make up bag that was £30 down to £12.

Had plenty of stock of these in our store and most people walking round with trolleys full of both products. Loads of stock beign put out on top of the remaining floor stock when i was in there about an hour ago.

I don't know if this of any use to anyone, but the Kilburn branch in London still had a huge pyramid of these about twenty minutes ago according to my mother And it's a smallish store too!
