Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 3 - post your finds here

I had to ring Boots today, as I'd ordered 3 4 2 plus 50% off vitamins. They didn't arrive, first time this has happened to me on a Boots delivery.
They guy I spoke to said they'd send another lot out, as a gesture (?).
If I didn't get them....................I didn't get them, so why is it goodwill??

The employed thieves usually go for the no-signature-required parcels

Not always - I once received a recorded delivery package which had been cut open and the contents removed! PO didn't want to know!

Thanks for your comments. I felt sure I was right, but the queue was building up behind me, and I'm afraid I bottled it.

Mrs Jobsworth kept saying that although my printout was headed Buy one get one free, it also stated 'Please see individual price tickets for qualifying products' and also ' All offers are subject to availability and terms and conditions as specified on the individual price tickets.' Personally I think she was waffling, as i don't think she realised that these items were on BOGOF.
I do think Boots are being a bit crafty though. One day the items are half price, the next, bogof. But I wanted half price and BOGOF!!

I take on board what you say about Trading Standards, and will try again tomorrow. Will also e-mail Customer services and see what they have to say.

I've got a carrier bag of these blooming razors upstairs. Think I might have to open my own shop. At least my son would eat the Fitnesse cereal!!

I had an Ipod missing from my Boots delivery yesterday. Rest of the order was ok, and the box was delivered intact. I reported hte missing item right away.
Today, Boots have sent me a missing goods declaration form, which I have to return with a copy of 2 documents with my signature on. ie. passport and driving license. Anybody else had this..... and why do they need this? I was made to feel really guilty yesterday....and feel even worse today! :mad:

i managed to find some intuition razors today with the £3 off vouchers on, and got a print out for BOGOF when i went to the till the SA charged for each on so i said no they are BOGOF and she replied you cant have both deals, i said both deals? you are selling them for £3.14 on the Ad. card machine said BOGOF, whats the problem, she disappeared for a minute to check !!! and came back and said , its ok you can have them for £3.14 like she was doing me a favour. Im going back to get more tomorrow and will bring todays receipt for proof that it works.

I'm very doubtfull they can require you to provide such documents??? They must justify the intended use of such documents and information if you ask them the question.

A lot of companies request personal information as a deterrant to thieves (and a method of intimidation to deter such requests for refunds in some cases)but in many cases such requests are against the Data Protection Act.

Well done. Great idea to take the receipt back as proof the offer worked.
