Boots after-Christmas sales - 75% off now over?

lilmisscheeky75

I went to solihull sears retail park boots at 8am this morning. There were a few bits and bobs left but nothing i really wanted. I saw 3 women with literally trolleys full of stuff! Stuff that they will probably just stick on ebay grrrr! not fair!

Ebay & the other trading sites are no different than buying from a national retailer. If you don't like the price they are asking don't buy the goods. I personally have never sold goods on any of the trading sites as just can't be bothered and enjoy getting bargains to give to friends and family for birthday/christmas but if people get to the shops early enough to snap up the bargains to resell thats up to them. You don't have to buy. Same as I would never buy tickets for a gig from a tout, personal choice. If nobody bought at inflated price the traders would soon stop. So long as people are prepared to pay they will keep trading.

For people asking what to do with the No 7 voucher, if you don't want to have to put much money to it get a nail polish they are £6.25 so with the £5 voucher you only have to put £1.25 to it, i got another today they have some great funky colours aswell as base coats & clear.I have built up quite a rainbow collection of them now with these vouchers.

I got a few bargains (for birthdays and xmas) at Fosse Park Leicester and was feeling really chuffed with myself, till I got to my car. Some b###h had hit my car and driven off! Luckily some people have morals, and a nice lady who witnessed it stuck a note on my car leaving details so who ever was driving the Red Corsa, watch out, you been recorded on CCTV and reported to the police!! Ruined my bargain hunting high though!!:mad:

Its not about getting up early - many of them are quite nasty if you try and buy something near them. Others get up early, but what chance do you have against a gang buying it all up ? I was physically pushed out of the way last year by a woman man handling 2 trollies down the aisle and I am not small !
For what my opinion is worth, and probably not alot, I agree with a lot of people here and feel items should have a limit of how many a customer can buy. Having said that its the same in the Next sale - I have had things whipped from my pushchair top and hand while browsing. I just wouldnt dare, but alas plenty do !

Reply to my very sleepy and grumpy email at 6.40 this morning

Dear Mrs
Thank you for contacting us about the 75% sale we put on our website. I am sorry to hear of the errors that you experienced.

I can confirm there was an error with our website due to the popularity of the sale and as a result many items were going out of stock as our customers were trying to order them. This resulted in a number of generic error messages being displayed throughout the order process.

As a result this was taken down as the stock levels of the sale items were low or they were already out of stock.

I do apologise for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for bringing your feelings to our attention. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Boots.com team on 0845 609 0055, quoting reference number 6220301.

We have asked a few questions at the bottom of this e-mail, which will help us make sure we have provided you with the very best customer care.

Kind Regards,
