I don't know if its the same in other stores, but by 2pm today at Nottingham Vic Centre store, the OOTW was only the NO17 vanity, no sign of any S&G hatboxes. The No17 vanity cases were literally all over the shop though .

Went to Queensgate Peterborough at 6pm tonight and got my Hat box they had at least 100 left. Some on a display near the tills downstairs and a HUGE stack at the top of the stairs.

I hope this helps someone

i think they should have limited it to so many per person ....per store ..to give others a chance when they must have known it would be a popular offer ...just like in the sales S&G the first to get sold out ... some ogf the hatboxes are already on sale on ebay for nearly double £20 ..

our store had around 18 on the shelves when i was in this morning at 10-30 but unfortunatly i didnt have enough spare cash or points to pay for it (for my christmas gift from teh kids lol) ... also i left my double points coupon at home

will be at the store 9am tommorow to see if im lucky

Just phoned bromley boots and they say they have 30 left and are open till 9pm tonight.
I can not go till tomorrow so i hope they have some left then.

:grouphug: Group hug all round (though it doesn't look like that!) and for all those who've been unsuccessful, let's hope they'll have some more in stock soon.

I never got one online, and decided I didn't want to risk life and limb going out today, and you know what? I'm still alive!!!!!

During this past year, I've missed out on a few glitches, but I've had so much success with so many others, that I'm thrilled with what I've had. You win some, you lose some.:beer:

I'm not jealous at all. I've no need to be. If you look back you'll see I posted that The Oracle in Reading had quite a few left at 5pm, so I could have bought as many as I wanted then, had I wanted to.

Sandra asked everyone nicely to please think of others. She has a point. For some reason others seem to have accepted this, but you're feeling the need to get aggressive about it. Why not just take the comment on board, as others have, and let it go, rather than letting it risk having the thread closed, as happened with the original Boots thread? That way, in the long run, we all miss out.

I'm not being aggressive atall. I hadn't read the comment in the first place, I don't have the time to read every post on here, so sorry I missed it. If you hadn't said anything in the first place, we wouldn't have this problem. And I wouldn't have bothered replying if you hadn't been rude in the first place! Bye.

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.

Try Peaks or Drakehouse- they are open now and Peaks had loads- didn't go to Drakehouse but would assume they were allocated more x

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.

my local store is only a small store and they had a big display of them by the front door about 18 ..at 10-30 this morning
