    Despite several attempts at various times since 3am this morning I still have no items purchased!
    If I managed to get 3 items in my basket I then could'nt check out and my basket would then be emptied. I now cannot add anything to my basket. Shocking website, surely they know from past experience it needs to be more robust for the online sale??

    Did you have to ask if those sets were on the b1g2f or did they have a shelf sticker? All my stores have had some flower stickers on to indicate if they are in the offer. Just wondering if they aren't labelled should we be asking?

    They were in the section that said buy 1 get 2 free and when i asked if they had anymore the SA kindly brought all of them out and said this is what we have left. So worth asking if they have any sets as once all the set had gone, the SA then got more stuff out which was baby toys and put them in their place along with mango perfume. So looks like they have a little more stock and will just re fill the shelves when needed.

    They also had plenty of soap sets, lavender i think and football sets £1.65 i think with cuff links, shower gel etc again B1G2F.

    Maybe we should just be cheeky and ask what is in the B1G2F range as i would love some the razor blades, this wasnt marked up as in the offer in mt store. The SA in my local store was lovely and friendly so i might pop back tomo and ask what other things they have.

    What are the razor blades people are mentioning?

    Those I went into had the blades in a basket on the till. I didn't look - were some e bargains? Got 4 packs of wilkinson dh has. £1. So 3 for £1

    Just been to another store. Loads didn't scan and they couldn't tell which item was stopping the offer. They had an email from head office telling them not to overide - which was frustrating.

    Got 3 gold and diamond cat collars for 5p. Cat not impressed!

    So fed up with website and wasting nearly all night trying to place order, that my daughter and I decided to take a train to nearest Lloyds as the one in our town only has a few medical items and is mainly a dispensary (I managed to buy 2 bottles of 50p cough medicine, dated 2015 - nothing else!).

    So for £7 each we had a lovely day out in Ely, looked round the cathedral and stained glass display, had nice lunch and stocked up on some fragrances instore. There wasn't much of a choice and the lovely SA was completely baffled at prices (some went through full price, some knocked off odd amounts and a few 3 for 1). She spent ages mixing combos to try and get us the advertised deal, but half the time the computer said "no". After about 30 mins of her trying over and over, my daughter came out with nail varnishes and makeup, but sadly not the Monsoon perfume she really wanted (3 for 1 but would not work) and I've got 9 fragrances including Matthew Williamson, Beckham Story, Roxy, Ministry of Sound Nightlife, Lee Cooper Mens and Chloe all for £22.49 A very lovely lady indeed persevering with a dreadful computer system!

    One store I went to had nothing on shelves. 3 displays and 2 totally empty- one had a few sad bits.

    Behind the till they had about 6 baskets loaded with the stuff. Each one marked with a staff members name. They were finding items on a sales list- just on the general shelves- shouting out what they had found. Looking at them and putting them straight into their baskets. Very open about it!

    I have only now managed to get an order in online. The B1G2F is now down to 12 things! I found that if something was taking ages to put into the basket it was because it wasn't in stock. I let it hang for about a minute then pressed F5 and if it was in stock it added to my basket. HTH someone.

    thats disgusting and makes me sooo cross
    the promotion started today for the general public
    i believe stores have had their boxes of sale stuff for a while, why wait until today when they should be putting stuff out on the shelves to do their own shopping?:mad:

    a total shambles
    but didn't expect anything less from lloyds really

    I think they were items they hadn't expected to be in the sale? They were still working off a list at 1 pm.
