Taffyscot

Hi all, I finally got some coupons from the machine. YYYYYYYYYyyyyyaaaaaayyyyyyyy looks like my card has been updated after the new year. I got lots of goodies yesterday at 75% off. I got the miniature perfumes guerlain, givenchy etc and it was on the 75% shelf. When I got home I saw I was charged 50%. Has anyone had this happen to them and will they refund me the diff? thanks taffy

Hi Rubylou!!

I'm a newbie bootser too - well sort of! Been building up points and stuff for a while now but didn't know there was awhole forum dedicated to us bootsers! I love this place - I am well and truly addicted to bootsing now - especially after my bargains yesterday from prospect centre! I haven't tried whitefriargate but nothing left in Hessle at all - nothing at Kingston Retail Park or Kingswood and heard on here nothing at Beverley so unless us Hull'ians are going for a day trip to another town - our bargains in the 75% sale may well be over

Have you had much luck Rubylou!?!

Hope to see you out bootsing soon.

xx

someone reported this a few posts ago, the problem is that normally the till will not accept 2 vocuhers for the same thing, so if you use 2x acm UG vouchers, doesn't the till refuse one??
I'm asking to see if anyone has tried this one. TIA

I got this but all vouchers were being inputted manually at the till as it was rejecting everything including the skincare. I haven't been to town today but if i get chance to go tomorrow I will try again in the same store and see if it works again. I paid at the pharmacy if this makes a difference?

This happened to me Taffy, I phoned CS yesterday, they gave me 900 points back on my card as that was how much I was over charged and then I went and got a refund today, although it was a massive problem as there seemed to be something set on them so they couldnt override the price. Not sure what they did in the end really, but I got my refund so all is good!
Think I may have been lucky though as CS dont always seem that good, my mum was charged full price for a toy she bought and they scanned it through twice so was charged £25 extra! Not only that but we tried it out last night and it was broken!! Plus the bratz showergel went through full price too! CS just told her there was nothing they could do and to take it back though!

I was recently going to buy a nitty gritty comb after hearing how good they were and my daughter had nits. Asked my dr for one on prescription and i got one for free. unless your dr is really mean then they should prescribe you one.

I got one on prescription too. I phoned the health visitor and she got the doctor to prescribe one.

:mad: My online order:mad:

Very disappointed today. I ordered 7 toys and expected to get them by yesterday. Unfortunately, 4 big parcels were arrived today, which is only one day in a week that my OH stays home while I have to be out.:eek: :eek: I don't want him to know or manage with my order at all. He has already complained about my shopaholics at Boots. Those toys are so bulky. He had to move all and put them in the garage.

Worst of the worst, he requested me to 'get rid of' them, and really felt angry with my order. He didn't even listen to me how bargain I got. He told me that if he wants to give anything for children, he'll spend at that time -- even not mind to pay for full price. He told me that not to let children known about this. He even complained me that I've spolied them too much with obsessive toys. And finally told me off for buying any toy for them. How mean he is!!!:mad: I can't say a word as the store room inside the house has already filled up with my shopping (not only from Boots though).

Now my choices are:
1) Returning them back to Boots (don't want to do this at all - as they are large toy boxes)
2) Selling them on ebay
3) Giving them away to others (without letting my kids known -- so ashamed not to see them happy with new toys)
4) Putting them in the bin (that what the thing my OH's nearly done)

I don't want to waste my money. But if I return them back to Boots, I will get my money back but lose my good opportunity (Of getting things cheaply). Actually, I have other 5 bags of Boots shopping hidden at my office. Some were bought when 50% off, some in 75% off. Planned to take them back home tomorrow, but can't do it now. I thought I were saving a fortune for my quick on sale. But now I have to let all gone. So sadddddddddd.

Was imagine them enjoy with:
Doctor Who battle (remote control Daleks)
Doctor Who Tardis playset
Operation
Noddy computer
Power rangers walkie talkie
Power rangers shooting disc
3D snake ladder
Thomas the Tank wheeled bag
Spiderman watch
Doctor who sonic screw driver torch

I wasn't gonna give them all in once, but one item in each month. But now it is useless to talk or change his mind. Just only if the delivery had been arrived yesterday or the day before, I would had no problem at all (as I can easily hide them by myself). I did more than 30 orders from Boots online during the last 12 months (since I joined this thread). No single order comes late at all. Most of them were arrive 2 days in advance. Unlucky me!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Sorry for long posting. Difficult to say how I really feel....... Friends would not understand me as they consider I shop too often and spend too much.

Make sure it's the 750ml bottle 85p, so get it for 35p, not 1l bottle. I've used a few ok.

I tried the Birkenhead and Cheshire Oaks stores today but to be honest it wasn't really worth it. I got 3 rolls of kid's extra wide wrapping paper (8m) at 50p each. 3 boxes of xmas cards at £1.25 each and 2 aromatics for men wash bags at £2 each.

Does anyone know how returns work if an item was bought before christmas on 3 for 2? I was bought 3 lots of make up brushes so decided to take one back, I only got around to it today and I had the receipt although it was down as the free item. I just wanted an exchange but the SA said that although the price was £10 when it was bought I could only exchange for the amount it is now i.e. £2.50. Is this right???
