Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah, feel better now.
Just wondered if this happens to anyone: I manage to get the stuff in my basket, proceed through the 3 million different screens to get to final checkout page just for a We are unable to accept your order as it has failed our validation checks sign to appear ? There's nothing wrong with my card and I've used it to buy from .com before. I tried going back and emptying my basket, filling it with the item I wanted (amazingly it was still instock), checking out , just to get the same message !!!! :mad: :mad: 3 x 5am starts in a row are catching up with me lol.

yes i can answer this, i had this last week, dh phoned boots to ask why, as my account just kept doing this, even when i tried paypal and credit card, apparently because i tried to checkout a certain amount of times and it did not go through it froze my account. i tried later and it still said the same, something about reason code 300.

basically you have to phone boots who will put it through to there technical dept who will unfreeze it for you, it took a few hours though, dh also tried over the telephone but it still would not accept it.

if you are desparate you can do what i did possibly and make another account although i think it has to be to a different delivery address and account holder name and email address ( i have 4 email addresses) has to be changed, i am lucky as i still have a credit card at my mums address in my premarried name so i used this and it went through fine.

hi

i ordered a barbie edt for my daughter, as she loves this sort of thing (shes only 5) it just made the order up to a certain amount. i also got the red wrapping paper set which i used yesterday for my mums birthday pressies (also from boots 75% off sale) and the paper was really good got quite a few sheets.

luckily the bits i was trying to order went out of stock by the time it was sorted, it was stuff i did not really need so in a way it did me a favour.

Morning all you crazy early birds

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, (and that 50% off, and just over and under the 50% mark isn't a great saving after the 75% and 90% sales), but do any of you look on

https://www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It shows a few offers that I've never seen on the clearance section, but handy if you need to make up an order maybe?

In fact, it's worth bookmarking just to find the offer of the day across a lot of shops

HTH someone x

I'm not sure why that website address hasn't gone through the filters

Would it be contravening the boards rules if I typed it with spaces? Or should I ask a board guide?

Guess what....there are at least 1200 Barbie Eau de Toilette's in stock......just kept adding 99 to my basket out of idle curiosity and gave up at 1287 for the bargain price of £2406.69:rolleyes:

I was so tempted to checkout and save the job of the person who stocked these for Boots......but then I thought better of it:rotfl:

That was a HUGE error for whoever at Boots ordering department that decided these would sell for Christmas:rotfl:

I'll give you all a laugh...I bought one of these for my daughter, before Christmas, for a Christmas pressie and at FULL PRICE. :rotfl:

She loved it though, so I don't care.
