COOKIE -yes they do usually i have exchanged sealed perfumes when they scan it it will show up on the till so don't worry and even if you did get it at xmas they don't have to be told.You could give cust services a ring as an extra backup just say its not your type or it brings you out in a rash or something

Hi C00kie, i couldnt get vouchers for stuff I took back the other day (unused and unopened) i had to spend the value there and then. still was great fun!

Ta... I literally just phoned CS, the guy said "unfortunately we dont do gift cards, so it has to be an exchange"

Umm... looking at the Boots site... it seems I'll have £53 to spend on toothpaste and shampoo in one go :rotfl: since i can't bare to have something that's not on a deal of some sort, i'll need a lorry!!!!

Kensington doesn't have a reduced section *sobs*.. so they put it on the normal shelves, but there was also and end of shelf display unit with them on, but that was mainly as it was promoting the BOGOF deal and it just happens that most of the stock is reduced.

Oo... new site... hmm, like it, looks cleaner and seems to work quicker... but my smiley pics aren't showing on the side when i type this msg (prob just needs a refresh).

On a Bootsing related topic... has anyone returned a sealed/wrapped perfume to Boots and had it accepted? I got a posh perfume for xmas thats not my scent, and i know it would've been from boots as it's the only place local that my boss would've wandered on his own :rotfl: it's been ages since crimbo too... should've thought about this sooner!

My auntie always buys my sister perfume from Boots for birthday and Christmas - so every birthday and christmas my sister takes it back to boots with no receipt and walks away with loads of gift vouchers - I'd just make sure you get a friendly looking SA!

Obviously they've changed their policy - buy something like a hairdryer or straightening tongs - hold onto them for a week and take them back! then you'll have the receipt as well so they would hopefully give you a refund - especially if you said they were faulty - always worth a try!

lol, such mixed responses! Will give it a go next week and cross my fingers for a voucher of some sort.... might try a different branch, i don't think the one local to work will do vouchers really... they've got that "vybe" :rolleyes:
