    I nipped into the Leeds City Centre Boots in Albion Street (which is a big store) about an hour ago, and I couldn't see ANY hatboxes. The shelves that I remember them being on last week are now stacked sky-high with the Big Bather barrels. :confused:

    Can't order online, because I need them as Christmas presents, and they might not turn up in time, but really, really want them as presents for my two best friends. I've just been made redundant, and they've been so incredibly supportive, and I can just about afford the £40, but am a bit screwed on what to get them if Leeds isn't stocking the hatboxes!

    Anyone in the area got any ideas about the situation in the Leeds store? Have I just been really blind, and someone else has seen millions of them stacked somewhere? :o

    All medium and Big stores have staff working Monday to Friday 8pm - Midnight. This is when they will be putting them out in many cases, as they wouldn't want people buying them for £50 and having many complaints tomorrow when they are £20.
    I wouldn't worry and THEY WILL HAVE SOME TOMORROW!

    Everystore thats a reasonable size will have some, There are ranges around britian from 60 to 600 so I shouldn't worry :) My local stores have 120 each.
    :cool:

    Hi! I'm going to that Leeds store tomorrow morning to get a couple, do you want me to drop you a message if they have them or not? I was in at the weekend and they had them then so I really can;t see it been a problem! They usually have an offer of the week stand near the escalator so it may be that they are moving them to there!
    Let me know if you want a message or not!

    lol. I think you will be too excited to sleep.

    I want the box more than the products. I'm thinking of splitting my loot with friends. ....then again......

    Does anyone know if the offer kicks in at midnight online???
  • I rang my local (little) branch of Boots and they confirmed they will NOT have any.............

    Very sad sounding S/A said "we NEVER get any of those offers".

    I thought I had missed their supply of the FCUK OOTW but it turns out they never had any in the 1st place :confused:
