    Same as me but my order has 'disappeared' whilst in Yodel's possession!!

    Whilst my main gripe is with Yodel, I'm feeling quite reluctant to order via their website again. So I think unless they significantly improve their site and get rid of the terrible Yodel as their couriers i'll be staying clear.

    I was given 2500 advantage card points for my inconvenience.

    Believe me I tried for more as I remembered reading your post!! 1000 points is better than nothing though I guess and at least I've managed to get 2 of the 3 items I really wanted. Total bill was only going to be £30. I've ordered from them on many sales and so far so good until this one...... lets hope they have improved the website whilst its been on its hols

    Does anyone know when things start being reduced to 75% off? There is still lots left at my local, was in there today.

    Thanks!

    I went in to collect my order today and asked the lad if he knew when the 75% sale would start and he told me the middle of Jan. He couldn't be more specific but he said they had just received the suncreams which will go where the current sale stock is at the moment.

    There were loads of the big Soap and Glory tins in Sheffield Fargate today and loads of Sanctuary sets of different types. I have never seen Soap and Glory sets in Boots - they are usually these mythical spoken about goodies that I only know of from these threads - amazed to see some left in the sale!

    Yeah 1000 is better than nothing! I didn't ask for the points, I was on hold and the man came back on the line and just said I see you have an advantage card, we'll put £25 worth of points on your card for the inconvenience. I was more than happy with that just miffed that I missed out on the S&G sets, I did get the splendour off my OH for Xmas which is just as well. The order which went missing was £87 worth, couldn't have been one of the cheaper ones that didn't contain my S&G!

    I will have to take a trip to Boots to see if they have any S&G sets left, all there was last time was the tin with the apron.

    I asked about this in our local boots today, the lady said (in hushed tones) that it would be 'soon'. She said they don't get told in advance but their offers normally change on a Thursday. I was hoping it might be tomorrow as wanted to buy a coat for my DD1 but as they only had one left I bought it today at 1/2 price. They've left the security tag on it so thought if further discounts tomorrow, I'd consider being brazen and asking if I could return then re-buy it at discounted price.....I know its a bit naughty but every little helps! Am I likely to be chucked out of the store for asking?? ;)

    Boots is very seasonal!!! Its either xmas stock or then suncreams from january/feb until sepetember. Does any other store put out their suncreams this early?

    I bet the sale with be the 18th as boots will hord their stock and try and get rid of it at maximum price but it seems every store has tons left to get rid of and they can not prolong it more than a week or so if they have all these suncreams to put out :rotfl: There are never really any clearance things at boots either or well my local. If it is it is always reduced by half price only. :(

    And to bubs above, i thought offer start on a wednesday?

    I don't know, I'm just repeating what the lady on the till told me. If its Wednesday then it'll probably be next week then.

    Boots clearence in Beckton has Soap & Glory Fab Pore facial peel for £4 max 3 per customer(?) although personally I did not think it up to much - its light on skin the only think I liked about it. Glad I did not buy it instead tried my friends one first - she on the other hand loves it.
    Anyone been down there last week? want to know what the other S&G products where, never had restrictions on amounts before - shelves where empty.

    Oh and sorry don't know normal price (boots site not working)- for all I know this may be it!

    Boots site seems to be working for me, although it says the sale has ended online!
