  • Does anyone know if any Fife stores have any left? I've visited a few today (and yesterday) but to no avail :-(

    FYI, there is no more stock in Reading nor is any coming. The closest store with hatboxes is Slough.

    Glad I bought mine in Reading yesterday there was only about 5 there at 2pm.

    When i spoke to CS this morning i was told that 50,000 people had tried to order online.
    That was just me clicking refresh on the 'confirm order' page 50,000 times :) (EDIT - Not that I ended up with an online order in the end !!)
  • JeffGeorge, I would love one, I'm in Cheshire, would it be possible to pick it up sunday eve or monday morning at all?

  • My OH just tried to get one and was told there will be more stock in on Monday - do you think this is true or were they ikely just fobbing him off?

    I was in the Ilford essex Boots today at midday and they had sold out I asked a SA if they had anymore and she said the Hat boxes had sold nationwide and also all online, She said they may be getting some more on monday but wasn,t 100%sure.

    If anyone still has their order still down as processing check your bank account. I've just looked online and there are funds being taken for the exact amount as my Boots order. They don't take the money until they despatch so it looks like they're coming. Still if I see one in town on Monday I'll be getting one just in case. Another thing is people might take some back if they get their online order and have panic bought in store as well so there is still a tiny bit of hope.

    I think everyone in the north east is getting one for Christmas!
    At the metro centre today there was a very orderly queue of about 50 people waiting outside the store to be allowed in to buy the boxes .. people were even taking pictures of the queue!! Queue moving quickly and people were joining even though they didn't know what it was for!!

    Every other shopper seemed to have at least 2 Boots bags with hat box shaped pink & black things inside!!
    I didn't go back for more, but I've had an e-mail to say mine have been dispatched to my local store.
