  • more4me, take pity on the rural ones here! I can't get to a decent Boots until the 27th January ... ! Aaaagh, I'm in total panic here ... everything's going to be gone, the glitch will have been fixed and the SA's will all be fascists ... !

  • Well!!! The 6 for 1 thingy didn't work in Yeovil this morning :mad:

    Can any expert Bootser help me to understand my bill please? Did I go wrong somewhere? This is what I got:-

    2 No 7 Mosturising Sun Sprays £11.50 each
    2 No 7 Shimmering Sun Lotions £11.50 each
    2 No 7 Shimmer and Smooth Lotions £8.50 each

    Used £5 voucher

    Was charged £15.00 (was expecting to pay £6.50!)

    Is it cos one of the 3 for 2's hasn't kicked in?? :o

  • Beware, I have tried this with a few things and the 3 for 2 and the boggoff on suncare aren't working on certain things.

    It wouldn't work with 2 lip and eye screens and a no7 colour miracle nail polish! No idea why. However the 2 lip and eye screens worked fine with a pack of facial wipes.

    Also the 2 x glossy locks sprays and a pack of facial wipes worked fine as well. This was all yesterday.

    What I don't understand is how did 6 x aftersun come to £9.50, if they are £9.50 each.

    I apologise for being thick today.

    Dollywops, the BOGOF and 342 offer is effectively saying:

    6 x £9.50 - (3 x £9.50 on BOGOF + 2 x £9.50 on 342) = 1 x £9.50

    Lucky You. I can't understand why Boots doeasnt love me :rolleyes: I reported that I didn't receive 4 £5+£3vouchers and firstly she said that I didn't spent required amount - £10 so that's why I didn't get them. I respond that you need to buy only £5 and I've got mailing from Boots stating this. Then she said that... the store was out of vouchers :eek: :eek: :eek: Ridiculous, it was only 3rd or 5th day when they were given, and they still do. She gave me 50 points as a "kind" gesture. I was shy enought to dispute with her, that 4 x (5+3)= £32, and 50p doesn't smell like "kind" :rolleyes:

    Do you think I should call / write them again? :rolleyes:

    Was this over the phone? I would definitely contact them again. Failing that, you could take your purchases back to the same SA and ask her to refund them al...then go and buy them all again in smaller lots ;) I'm sure if you suggest this to CS they will suggest awarding you extra points for your inconvenience!! :p
