I was there about 9.30, but didn't see anyone else in the reduced aisle. When were you there?

and about 60 sanctuary face masks,,free with vouchers:beer:

well done to you... i just used this moisture boosting mask and my skin feels great... i left it for 10min but just read you can also leave it on over night and let skin drink up the mask for intensive moisture boost (therapist tip) - will try it next time... even if its just a sachet you can easily use it twice

I think I'm finally cured.

.com ruined my sale order, so I wrote and had a 'you're quite right that was dreadful service - have 1000 points' reply - I know it sounds ungracious but that doesn't actually address the problem, and I have just been treated yet again by a Boots SA as if I was a particularly irritating child. I was standing, harming no-one, wondering (in my head) whether the wipes I had would qualify for the £5 voucher. I am so sick of their rudeness, which is increasingly the norm.

Sorry this doesn't help anyone else.

So very true. I wrote a similar email and have only had automated reply so far. There is an email sitting in my drafts folder about the treatment I received instore last week. I thought whats the point in sending it?

Boots offers are great, but I am also tired of being spoken to like a naughty girl. Most often quoted phrase I am hearing now is "Cannot be used with any other offer" They seem to be using it parrot fashion without thinking it through, or trying to scan the voucher.

If that is the case why do Boots bombard us with vouchers, everywhere you turn, then block us using them via the SA??.

Management sidestep the real issues, and hide behind the floor staff who have to take the flak. Some handle it better than others though.

I haven't had the 'Partially despatched' email yet, but just got an email from Paypal telling me how much has just been charged to my account by Boots, and I can tell from the total what's missing. From an order I placed this morning.

Suppose I'm happy that at least one item looks like its coming though!

I was at Meadowhall at 9.30 prompt.

Got loads of the TB gift sets with the horrible speakers (does anyone want one?) and some of the bath salts/talcum powder.

On the way home, I somehow managed to spill one of the talcs, with the result that the back of my car smells like a naughty girl's bedroom!

I have paid a return visit this evening (sad, or what?) and still loads of bath salts and talc left.

No TB though!

All Boots seems to have different policy’s. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

This is a brilliant quote that some peeps either haven't seen or have forgotten. Don't think anyone on this board has complained but some op's have on the £10 worth of no7 face powder thread. They have emailed boots complaining that SA's aren't letting them have the powder with reduced things they have also pointed them in the direction of this web-site saying well it says on there you can do it:eek: It just flags up the glitches, I Hope this doesn't put a stop to our fun. Customer services responce was No you shouldn't get it with reduced products as part of the not to be used with any other offer. I haven't been able to get the powder myself and i acept it when SA says no. Please remember we are luckly to get the stuff we do. thanks all you peeps that share the glitches in the first place and thanks to a lovely op on here who has got the powder for me. Sorry if i have upset someone that did complain.

I managed to get to two Boots stores today, both of a reasonable size, but not until lunchtime by which time there was no sale stuff left

Ah well, money saving at its best - at least I wasn't tempted to buy stuff I don't need just because it was a bargain.

Just bought a reduced N7 eye cream for £1.00 and got the N7 high lights (with new mag voucher) worth £10.75 for FREE:j

Just nominated you for post of the month Sally 06. I believe that this glitch put more people through Boots doors than any other. Boots should pay you royalites.
Good luck. Hope you win it.:T :T :T
