Boots OOTW 18/12/09

I think perhaps the tiredness is getting to us 'hardcore' Bootsers who were up all night putting orders through online! Lets remember Scarlets post....we don't want this one shut down, we're all here to help each other which is why Nicole made this post in the first place.

The SA I spoke to said new deliveries tomorrow would be pot luck, defo not to each store but you can call CS and they can let you know where a new delivery is going to be in relation to your post code hopefully that should help some people.

i am really intrigued about what happened "last time." I always presumed it was from posting errors etc and extra points loopholes that Boots wanted it shut. But did it just descend into bad feeling and silliness?

I hope this thread does not do the same as we were all really happy at first! I know it must be horrible for people who did not get any but maybe they could start a sub thread on their area's boots stock as surely that is the only info they would need to come back on for.

I know I keep saying it but I am sure they will restock. Especially considering it is full size normal s and g products it would just be a matter of factory doing more hat boxes

It was nothing to do with Boots wanting it shut. The moderators got tired of frequently having to sort out arguments and rows.

well after waiting until 12.30am this am, i went to boots this am for when the doors opened at 8.30am and got my 2 boxes along with another girl. My neighbour asked me what they where as i was going inside and said how lovely they where, i explained i was going back into town for a hair cut and would get her one. 9.45am, none left!! I think they are so lovely and my 9 yr old has grabbed the box and bag, and i have the goodies. I love the lip gloss, real tingle. !!

I went into our local village store and seen the display for OOTW empty! I asked if they were sold out - but the SA stated the delivery hadn't arrived and they didn;t know when to expect it. I need to pick up an order from one of the boots in glasgow so I might call them direct and ask if they have any and can they keep me one til Monday. No harm in trying.

Just wanted to add - I am one of the ones who was not "in the know" about S&G before MSE - I am looking forward to trying their products - even if I donp;t get this great offer and I have been reading this thread with great interest - so thank you!

Oh and all is not lost for those who have not yet been blessed with a hat box - it's not over till the fat man sings "ho ho ho" :d

Out of interest... given that S&G is on 3 for 2 atm, has anyone priced up what the products would cost bought seperately? I'm curious now!

May I just offer a teeny weeny bit of advice please? If you have been lucky enough to get one, not only for yourself, but also for each of your 4 sisters, 3 sisters-in-law, Mum, MIL and best friend, oh, and your 6 most favourite cousins, pleeeeeeeeeeeease don't post about it! :eek:

People will dislike me for saying it but i think some people need to get a thicker skin I mean really who cares if I mention the guy in front of me was buying six, while I was standing with 3 for family members, the woman behind was balancing 10 five on each arm not forgetting the two on her head ... it's just a passing comment and of course I feel sorry for those who haven't managed to get one (yet) but to stop mentioning things like that to spare everyone elses feelings? come on its a bloomin forum. :j Hugs all round :A and sending the best of wishes and luck for everyone still on the hunt! :j

ps I'm not trying to be mean

As far as I know most of the smaller stores don't have the hatbox anyway. The Boots site says it's only in larger stores and only the larger of the two Boots stores in Reading had them.

I work in a small store and we were sent them in especially for the offer. We only had 36 though and they sold out within 1 hour! We had people asking for them all day.

Glad to hear lots have been successful, was gutted when I spoke to my Dad today who had been to Meadowhall AND Sheffield. Had I known I'd have asked him to buy a box. Still considering going into Leeds on the off-chance tomorrow but after the late night last night I haven't got a lot of enthusiasm just now!

Thanks for introducing me to the excitement of trying to get an offer (that I'm not totally convinced I need really but I must if it's that popular!). I'll try harder next time.
