  • my order which I placed online on 18 December at 04.19 is still showing as processing !!! anyhow I just rang and was told I would definitely receive the order and it would go to 'dispatched' on Monday as it will be delivered on Tuesday, fingers crossed that's right !!

    The guy I spoke to said the system updates the day before delivery, I hope this is right and puts anyone else at ease who is still waiting.

    Visited 5 stores near Belfast and none had any left. Out of those 5 stores 3 of the SAs actually laughed at me when I asked and said they had no stock coming in :(

    Has anyone noticed any in the main Boots store in Belfast Donegal Place?? Thanks!
    Congrats to those who managed to get theirs!

    None there at lunchtime today Roxy, and a big sign up saying they had sold out. Hope you manage to get one somewhere, maybe try ringing some stores especially the smaller ones? There is a store locator on the boots site that gives you the details of all stores local to you.

    I was lucky enough to get one for myself yest morning at quarter past 8 in the store at Donegall Place. Had none on the shelves when I got in and 2 friends seemed to be deciding between them who would get the very last one. So went up and checked the next 2 floors just in case there were any hiding, asked a SA who was paying for one at the til on the 2nd floor and she said to hang about cos there was a SA getting more stock to bring down, sure enough a SA appeared with a cage and let me have one before she got in the lift to go restock, she told me she couldn't get them out quick enough, I told her not a bit of wonder it's been all over the internet and tele. When she did get down to the ground floor the crowd waiting just swarmed her, she didn't even have time to get them onto the shelf.

    Anyway, went into the one on Donegall Place this afternoon at about 1ish to see if I could pick one up for a present for a friend but there wasn't one to be seen, though I didn't ask if they were getting anymore, I will just check on Monday again on way to work - I'll def post here if there are any.

    I'm just wondering if anyone has had any joy getting a box in the Glasgow or Renfrewshire areas. Have been to Braehead and Silverburn, both of which have none and are unsure if they'll receive any more.

    I spoke with a SA at Braehead and Charing Cross Boots. Both think they will have more on Monday but cannot guarantee it. Fingers Crossed X
