  • Just had mine delivered by DHL - poor bloke was slipping everywhere on ice, so a big thanks to all those deliveries drivers out there, they ARE doing their best to get us our bargains....
  • Mine was in Leeds last night and made in at all the way down to Poole overnight. It shows out for delivery but as its snowing here I doubt DHL will try to make it. I'm in the New Forest and the roads are awful. I'm just glad the order is now in my area very impressed seeing as I ordered using standard delivery :j
  • 2 of mine have been delivered and the 3rd is out for delivery at the mo! YEY! x

    One of mine was out for delivery on Saturday (not the OOTW) then on Sunday showing as Delayed Due to Adverse Weather and today still showing the same :(
    The other one (OOTW) was showing as Arrived at Depot on Saturday & Sunday and today as Out For Delivery.

    Saturday & Sunday the weather was fine (old snow around), main roads were clear in many areas around here, today we now have more snow, so I am guessing that by the end of today DHL will be showing both as Delayed Due to Adverse Weather :(

    My friend just texted me saying she changed her mind & now no longer want the 6 bags that I ordered on her behalf :mad: :mad: :mad: grrrrrr!!! My order still says processed at the moment. If it's being delivered to the store, I'm going to feel so bad telling the staff there I changed my mind. Poor everyone who's involved in fulfilling that order in this weather, especially the delivery guy :( I really really hope Boots will tell me they ran out of stock. Rant over, sorry you all. I just needed to vent :(

    Did she give you the money for them. If so I would be tempted to let her deal with getting the moneyback. I managed to get 2 at my local on Saturday then fell in thesnow on the way home and bashed in the top of one of the boxes. Ihad bought one for my sister and the other was to break up into smaller pressies anyway. Goi g to keep the inner box thing as it will be great for the bathroom. I don't like the stuff myself too. Sweet for me. Btw loads for sale in Bristol cribs when I went there yesterday.

    Did you say X friend! She would be if she did that to me, have you had to pay for them? Why don't you give Boots a ring to see if they can stop the order.

    crikey.. I am impressed... mine says 'out for delivery' from lichfield DHL depot!!

    On closer inspection (I ordered two tote bags and one UD powder brush) I have three parcels with three different tracking references. Two were despatched on Friday, and at Hatfield on Saturday to go to local branch, and apparently out for delivery today. The third apparently got to Hatfield late last night (and is still there?).

    I just remembered though, my order last year, I got the despatch email from Boots AFTER I received the items!!
