  • Ordered mine online yesterday and paid for a Saturday delivery. My order's arrived ........... minus the S&G!!!!! :eek::eek: Have contacted Boots CS to ask why they weren't delivered and was told my order has been split into 2 parcels and they SHOULD be with me on Monday. Now I've got everything crossed that they do arrive on Monday as one is for a birthday present. They did refund my delivery charge but that'll be small consolation if I don't get the S&G. :mad:

    I can't believe people are selling them on eBay for £35. It's only £15 more and by the time you take your fees etc, it isn't worth it.
    Hope you all manage to find some somewhere or through someone chaps.

    Got mine today!! So happy, all sold out in Rochdale and they are not expecting anymore deliveries. Went to Manchester (Market St) to be told by one SA that they had no more... and then another who said there had just been a delivery...

    Made my way downstairs and there was a huge stack! Woo hoo! They were expecting more deliveries too as it is a larger store. I would suggest going in the morning though as they were pretty much being taken as quick as they were being put out.

    Good luck to everyone else! :xmassmile :xmassmile :xmassmile

  • Edit: when I mentione Newbury sold out above, this is for both in town AND retail park :(:( Bad times!!!
  • None left in Newbury store or Salisbury :( Salisbury wont be getting anymore in either. Last time I stay up very late & get up early then dash into town on lunch (30 mins drive each way!) only to end up with no S&G :(
    Still dont get how they sold out online when it was only up for a few hours & surely there can't be that many people online at that time for it to sell out?
    When i spoke to CS this morning i was told that 50,000 people had tried to order online.

    Hi all, been away for a long long time, apparently Fargate in Sheffield are getting some more on Monday, I over heard an SA telling someone while I was trying to track down my 'lost' Advantage Card...I had it in there yesterday and only realised it was lost when I went in today, what am I going to do without it? :eek:

    Well after succumbing to S&G madness I have called my local store - they still haven't received their expected delivery and will be contacting the warehouse on Monday - so I have to call them back.

    I also called the shopping centre - they are "hoping" to get some more in for Monday - I will call them back.

    I also called the Charing Cross Boots Glasgow as I have a store pick up due for Monday they have sold out of S&G but might get more on Monday - will phone them 1st thing.

    I will phone all the stores on the way to get my store pick up and if they have what I want - I can pop off the bus.....
  • Was in Reading this morning; the large Boots in the Oracle had them stacked high at the front of the store. There was loads...
  • Yay - none to be had in bury (Lancs) but son got one for me whilst in Bristol yesterday - just arrived home with it.

    I am one happy bunny.:j:j:j

    Many thanks to the original poster for advising about the OOTW as son was going to buy at full price for me so he's happy too:j
