Pat- I can see you have posted a lot but haven't checked them so might be way off the mark. I was wondering if you post under your real name here and have found new deals or glitches which you have discussed here? Also, IF you have an ebay account do you use your real name there?
It is annoying for you that they have banned you from online shopping but you can still buy in store.:)

Yes i have discussed glitches on the 'grab it' thread.
Although some people on here wont believe it, no, i dont have an ebay account.
Thanks for your very decent contribution:)

I cant believe you feel the need to post here.
How have i got 'caught out?'
I ordered some offers from boots which were on the website for anyone to order. Boots themselves have stated i have done nothing illegal.
And by the way, i actually do give some to charity.
I guess i'm a better person than you are.
Judging by your posts charity is not exactly your strong point:p

Businesses can pick and choose who they want to do business with. They might feel you are simply taking the mick with the offers and glitches. So they don't want to cyber serve you--same as they could do if it was a store you plonked your 6 baskets on the counter.
Your "innocent" shopping obviously costs Boots money, therefore they won't serve you--it ain't rocket science is it?:p

Rearrange your delivery address so their software wont recognize it.

That was what I was thinking, so long as you have the post code it should find you even if it has missing data or wrong spelling.

No i cant.
I can order in store to pick up in store.
Sort of defeats the object of not having to carry your shopping home.

So you can take a laptop or use phone in the store to make an online purchase and store pickup?


Sorry had to make a little joke.

If I was you I would get another member of the familly to open an account and order things for you.

Boots are well known for closing accounts.

If you were not getting something for nothing - you would just go to superdrug.

I do agree though - that they should state limits per person if they don't like multi-buyers.

I think sometimes that it is an overall impression rather than a set of hard-and-fast rules.
It would be like giving a child a plate of dinner and telling them straight away the minimum they need to eat before they can have pudding.
Or publishing the rules for when a bank account gets looked at for money laundering.

When hard-and-fast rules are published then people can stick within these rules and still be against the spirit of the rules.

OP, I get annoyed with the nit picking that goes on in this forum too. Hence very rarely posting.

We are all here for similar reasons.

You are entitled to post here as much as anyone else.
Please do post more, dont be frightened of the online bullies here.
Thats basically all they are.
I posted this thread on discussion time originally. Thought maybe people would want to discuss why the global companies who are still expanding could just do this as they saw fit.
Is it corporate greed etc?
But no, its all my fault:rotfl:

Its laughable really, this is a money saving site but you have no morals if you use the offers.

When you say you only place orders taking advantage of glitches, that is fair enough but just how many orders do you place?

If there is a limit of 5 and you order 5 but then place the order over and over and over to get the offer 10-15 times then yes, you will be breaking their T&C.

And maybe you are order things to get points and free delivery then returning other products later all the time. Who knows, only you know that, as do Boots, who - for whatever reason - no longer want your custom. And every store has the right to sell to who they want.

And they are not stopping you from shopping instore so, for whatever reason, they no longer want you shopping with them online.

However, you have clearly done something wrong as banning someone from shopping online is not the normal thing that Boots do, there are hundreds of people glitching, you are the only one I have ever known have their card removed - and there has to be a reason for that.

I am not sure it is corporate greed - how can it be greed when every sale they make to you loses them money. It sounds more like you're the greedy one in all honesty (although I am sure you'll not see the irony in that).

No-one is saying that you can't use the offers, however, you have clearly overstepped the mark as far as Boots are concerned and, as they are the ones that sell to you, they have decided they no longer want your custom and that is their choice. It's not like they are making any money from you, after all. You can still go instore and shop there so what's the big deal?

And yet another person who has not read the thread properly:eek:
Can you please quote where i've said i only place orders taking advantage of glitches?
And further up the thread someone else has said its common practice for boots to cancel peoples accounts?
As for me buying items and taking them back............:(
Did you also miss the part where boots have actually stated i have done nothing ILLEGAL.

Crikey, you have got your knickers in a twist

Seriously..why are you this bothered?

Pat, why do you _think_ that you've been banned?
