    My OH got mine this morning and heard the manager telling a customer that there'd be more stock tomorrow morning. This was in Speke, Liverpool. Hopefully it's usefull for anyone who's still after one of these and hopefully she really meant it and theres stock in the morning.

    I'm starting to wish I'd paid for delivery as it seems those of you who paid for standard or next day delivery are getting their orders dispatched. I ordered at 2.45am but chose store delivery and my order is showing as being processed.

    I may be jumping the gun here but it will be a bit unfair if those of us who chose store delivery miss out if Boots system couldn't cope.

    Well done to everyone who managed to get one, the whole country is going to be smelling of S&G! :D

    Mmm makes you wonder, I've opted for in store pick up next week, we'll see....:confused:

    Don't panic, lol
    I ordered mine at 2.20am with standard delivery and mine is still processing, a few people who ordered after me have had dispatch emails. So by the looks of it they are not processing them in the order they were received.

    My delivery date is 22nd
    That's what's worrying me. I'll be miffed if I was daft enought to stay up until almost 3am to place my order and don't get it when I could have gone to bed at a normal time and just placed an order at 7am when I got up and paid for delivery.

    I wouldn't normally worry but apparently Boots have said that due to the high demand their system couldn't keep up so stock availability wasn't working in real-time. They've said that some people who have placed online orders will be getting cancellation emails.

  • I thought it was too good to be true.

    I got to my local main shopping centre for 9.30am this morning and all the hat boxes had gone, i asked the assistant if she could possibly ring all the other local branches of Boots for me to save driving round everywhere which she kindly did, and they were out of stock too, all at 9.40am this morning!

    I don't find the offer a bargain at all. Boots cannot have had many in stock to be empty for 9.30am on the day of the offer!

    Duped again. :rolleyes:
