    Does anyone know how long it takes to get reund from .com when sending item back via Royal Mail ?
    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

    Oh Drat!!!

    Had an order in my .com basket for Eliz Arden to get the Blue box GWP from the other day as I was undecided ,but when I go in now its changed to a EA beach bag GWP:angry:

    Oh well ,I've saved some money:rolleyes:

    I placed an order Thursday and it said I was getting the Blue box; I hope I really do! You got me curious, so I checked for the new EA gift. Here it is if anyone's interested:

    You know that two threads don't work - search for the one that sunk without trace. (I'll give you a clue - it wasn't this one.)

    it did not sink it was moved to a secure, private site, which is still going strong,

    it was actually one of the fastest growing, most viewed threads on the site

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=162776

    part one viewed over 62 thousand times.. I think that says it all :rolleyes:


    And why, when someone has a beef about the thread going off topic, (usually from someone that hardly contributes anything :rolleyes: ), are the "original people on this Boots thread" dragged into it like they're some sort of elite group that have disappeared to pastures new?

    actually they are/did :p

    They ended up in the pub area of the board didn't they?

    "they" chose to go to the arms as that is where "chat" is menat to take place

    If they were such dedicated posters of the Boots thread, they'd stick around and help the newbies.

    "they" actually are all still around and still share and post on here

    The last time I sent something back by Royal Mail it was weeks before I got a refund. That was only after frantic emails from them trying to confirm that the parcel had not gone astray. Could not get a reply to emails (I hate ringing them) eventually they wrote with an apology that items had been received and credit was immediate.

    You are better ringing them up and asking for a courier to collect it. I will never send through royal mail again too worrying. I only sent 'signed for' but if total is more than 10 x 1st class post you would need special delivery. Courier is free, and no worries about returns getting lost.

    I may be wrong pash, but how I understood/interpreted the message from passion was that she was talking about the chat thread that was started about 6 weeks ago:confused::confused: not years ago!!

    I know about the private site, I don't think passion does though Maybe she will clear it up when she comes online.
