    I totally agree with your interpretation, unfortunately those high up in No7 have interpreted it differently and then fed that down to their staff who have shared that interpretation with their colleagues in stores.

    As for the free gift, water, in store the till says it is a Linked sale but doesn't say what it is.

    If they opened my parcels I would be putting a complaint in to their head office every time it happened, or send an email to the boss at Boots in London.


    They opened 3 parcels (on the same day) and then took the stuff off me and refunded me. I just collect at a different store now. I did ask to speak to the manager and she was of the opinion that as I hadn't spent enough to qualify for the free gift they couldn't sell me the stuff. I argued that it wasn't my fault that when I put the stuff in my online basket I couldn't help it if a free gift was added too. I had no control over that. I had to admit defeat (was on my lunch hour from work so didn't have time to argue) and just vow that I would never order anything to be collected from there again. The manager is so intelligence challenged that she thinks Boots are owned by Walmart! I had to hold my laugh in.

    I have just seen a link which I don't think I can share pop up on my FB if I can share it let me know and I will, it is clearance and a lots of the items that were removed when the 70% off sale started are now available at 50% off, what a surprise!!! it would have been a lot easier for me if the had just left them at 50% although I must admit that items I have just ordered were apparently sold out and weren't available in store at the 70% off sale.


    It was via the extreme couponing site.

    Blimey the seventeen match my mood i got for £4 in the 90% sale (think was left as a blusher was missing) I gladly picked up for my sister for Christmas and SA said even thou can't reduce further for missing piece she said worth keeping an eye out for when they change the displays on make up as sometimes have some spare samples that would fit in the gap which was very helpful off her.

    I couldn't believe my eyes in store, whenI saw how much they are trying to sell these for AGAIN! 0_0 I thought there were laws against that sort of thing? Clearly they were popular- NOT! I thought they looked like a total rip off...tiny little products.

    These are on the clearance shelf in my local for 49p a box. Think the packaging may be different, recall they were labelled as Boots daily tissues but same colour box as those pictured. They had loads of them.
