  • Hey SallyA,
    Yes this is 100% definite, delivery coming in overnight. Only the biggest stores will now receive any further stock, Fosse Park being one of them (Flagship). Good luck, hope you manage 2 get hold of one!!

    I was at Bristol Avonmeads this morning when they opened, there was a small crowd! There seemed to be quite a few left when I left. I went back into the store after putting my stuff in the car so I could buy some of the S&G 3 for 2 and a kind SA saw my basket and said I should get the hat box as it's such good value and they had sold over 100 in 30 mins!

    Thanks so much, I managed to get myself one online this am, but now my mum wants one too, and I'm still struggling for a xmas pressie for her, so that'll do nicely. Fosse Park is 45 mins away, but I think thats where i'll go 2morrow! x

    Oo, just had my dispatched email from this morning, I ordered at 7.55am! x
  • I think some stores might be holding some back, or at least getting overnight deliveries. I popped into a large out of town Boots at a retail park and they had none left but a sign saying they'd be available tomorrow, and a sales assistant came over and confirmed this.
