Hi, I'm a new member but I've been a 'lurker' for ages...

The Boots advantage card mailout vouchers from a couple of months back, did anyone else not receive these? I never did, and neither did my girlfriend or my mum. Our surnames all start with A or B which we thought might be something to do with it. But I'm upset at missing out on vouchers which I feel I should be entitled to as a loyal customer who shops with them several times a week!

I have the problem with the acmachine i only get comps and no vouchers and ive had my card since the beg of jan all i get told is `just give it time`

I've had my card since I was eligible for one (either 16 or 18) and I'm 22 now, so we're talking a good few years here! I've always received them before. Just seems weird. Maybe they send them out in 2 batches, but even so they're leaving it a long time between customers.

I rarely check the machine (they're usually broken when I go in and it seems like a load of hassle) but I might have a look at what's there.

the womans being really nice about it. i taped both ends of the parcel , was a jiffy bag and she says only one end was taped. i always pack my stuff with care.

when i posted it i had to declare what it was worth ect , and whats in the parcel so maybe it was opened when in handling and my serums on ebay again huh !!! (maybe)

i really cant be doing with fighting over this so offered the lady half refund. that way we both pay the price for this miss-hap.

ive got so much on my mind with the wedding and stuff , i cant be bothered to fall out with someone over £30.

My daughter has got a skin voucher - I still have not got her to grasp couponing and she spent £21 in one go rather than splitting her shopping into two lots - why do my children neve rask my advice before they go shopping!. There is no useful list at the top of the thread as to what to spend her voucher on with the least ammount of added money. It would be great if someone could add a list to the sticky at the top.

I will start it off

Roc Hydra + matifying re-sourcing care hydrating gel 40 ml £5.48
Sancuary cleansing facial wash 200ml £5.95

Poor child cant get to grips with our obsession with Boots and Tesco but I am not giving up hope yet. I am sending her up an envelope. At the moment it has some Tesco clothing coupons 20/05, some WHSmiths £5 coupons for books and stationery, some WHSmiths 200 points coupons, a voucher for a free Anchor tub and the Boots list as well.
Has anyone any other suggestions?

Sorry, but you should really refund the lady in the USA with the full price she paid plus the postage, as she has essentially paid for an item that she hasn't received. If the item has been tampered with then your complaint is with Royal Mail, yes, you may not get a refund from them but as an ebay seller this is the risk you take, not her. Also , if she paid via paypal and puts in a cliam with them then they will refund her back the entire amount plus postage anyway.

Hi All

Had a great time Bootsing at lunchtime

1st Transaction I bought my Heavenly Hands spa £25 with parenting voucher plus 75 extra points from the AC machine

2nd Transaction I bought two 4 packs of Wilkinson Sword blades you get a free Wilkinson Sword Razor with these. Poor SA I picked up the wrong razors they were not on promotion so she had to scan everything again with the correct razors she was so patient I kept on apologising but she was so calm even though there was a queue forming she didn't seem at all flustered :A

Boots shapers crisps

27 exposure camers free with parenting voucher

plus 75 extra points from the advantage card machine.

So spent 11.68 and gained 121 points

a strange thing happened when I was leaving I realised my points hadn't been added but my extra points voucher must have been scanned. Went to a different SA and she added my points on for me.
