    Xmas Saver!
    Massive thank you to the poster for the tip off, managed to get to 2 Boots stores and spent £87. Thou the week before spent £110 when it was 50% off, that was vouchers and points so didn't mind that, althought there some stuff there wasn't that much left, seemed to more suberto sets and hat boxes, few strictly bits xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    I am glad that everyone is receiving their orders. Has anyone's been cancelled?

    I ordered the S&G set but that order seems to be stuck at the processing stage. The worrying thing is that two orders I placed later that day have both been dispatched. Not looking promising :(

    I made 4 orders to store. One was dispatched the next day. The other 3 show dispatched this evening. 2 of them are S&G sets which I ordered in the early hours the day after the sale but were stuck on the processing stage. Hopefully, you will be lucky too. x
  • My friend went to the one on the retail park early in the morning and there wasnt much there to start with. I went in yesterday and managed to pick up a few bits spoke to the sa who said a woman went in there as soon as the doors opened and took pretty much everything off the shelves. When i went back in yesterday evening they had a load of the ruby and millie eyeshadow sets out that werent in there when i went in at lunchtime! They did say that was the last of the stock though!

    the one in the shopping centre still had a few bits in yesterday evening mainly chocs, xmas stuff, subbuteo sets (lots of!), a couple of 3rd and bird flannels, the mood changing colour blocks, religion hair sets, one fearne hat box and not much else!

    the small one at the far end of town only had perfume minatures in about 3pm yesterday afternoon and after the one that i bought there were only 3 more left on the shelf.

    Not holding out hope for the 90% off sale with whats left now its not gonna be worth it :rotfl:

    yes , a SA said the same to me in the retail park one. he said he mentioned to a woman that the sale was on and she filled a trolley sky high , plus two baskets , paid for it all and took it her car then came back for another trolleys worth! he said he couldn't believe it! lol I popped in the one in the centre yesterday morning just to see if any other bits had been put out but it was all the same. As you say , the 90% isn't gonna be worth them putting on! lol there's probably one half a bays worth between all the stores left!

    This happened to me in last years sale. I eventually rang CS to ask why processing was taking so long. I was told (don't laugh) that the order was in 'limbo'

    Apparently there is a glitch in the system whereby the order is taken, and sent for processing but never reaches the warehouse, and becomes lost in the system.

    I was told if I hadn't rang up it would have continued to show as 'processing' for ad infinitum, as nobody (except me) knew about it .

    The upshot was that it was cancelled as all the stuff was OOS by then.

    Try ringing CS to ask about it, the sooner the better. Good luck, I hope you have some success. They really do have a rubbish system.

    when is the 90% sale
  • Just popped into Kingston Boots and hidden away found S & G Glam Packed set and Frontcover to go set at 75% off. Got 1 of each - DD1 will be very pleased. Had about 5 frontcover sets and 3 S & G when I left.
