    is that what they do? they're sending 1 eyeshadow to me & have cancelled 3 juicy tubes so will i still get the 5020 points? thanks

    oooh!! just re-read my email & noticed this
    What happens how?
    bullit.gif You will not be charged for items we have cancelled bullit.gif Our Customer Care Centre will contact you with regards to any refund. You will not be able to obtain a refund in a Boots Store for any missing items. bullit.gif If you have ordered a promotional item, but had the free item cancelled and we have despatched the chargeable items, please be assured we will refund one of these items. This is to ensure you are not disadvantaged. bullit.gif You will still receive all Boots Advantage Card points promised :j:j:j:j:T:T:T:T:T
    so has cost me £13 for £50.20 in points :D

    As nice as it would be to have had the points instead, we were all happy at the time of placing our orders as free lancome was an amazing find in itself! Although points alone would be my daughters extra presents sorted for free, I am very chuffed with my lancome order as I'm so busy buying for others for Christmas I don't tend to spoil myself, and now I have lol

    Absolutely! I had just been looking at my very sad make-up bag thinking "I really need to buy a new mascara" and everything else is at least 4 years old. Truth be told I think the estee lauder refillable eyeliner is originally from before my eldest son was born - he's 13 now! - I bought a couple of refills when they discontinued the design... is my makeup boring or what!

    13 year old eyeliner! :eek: Mine lasts around three months, that Estee Lauder stuff must be amaaaazziing :p. Truth be told my makeup bag is in need of a shake up too, I have three empty mascaras, an empty MAC primer base and an empty YSL touche eclat. Having said that i'm sure there are more of us with unruly makeup bags on the thread lol.

    :( just got the email stating that my order has been dispatched, I know it's wrong of me to have wanted them to cancel it so I got the points without buying anything but please don't tell me no one else secretly thought the same...

  • I got my cancellation email there now.... 9016 for £64! As long as they will honour it, I will have lots of nice mascaras and eyeshadow and lots of free points to buy perfume or a treat for me :j
