Delivery options

Click & Collect
Collect from one of 2,200 Boots stores. £1.50 or free when you spend £20 or more.

That just seems crazy to me that i need to pay £1.50 even if i collect the item myself from there store

Ensures coverage of delivery costs.

I maybe wrong but my local Boots seems to keep stock of most things they sell

So there would be no extra delivery costs to them as they could just take the item or item's off the shelf or from the store room..

That's nothing I scrapped a car last week, £176 if they collect it, £130 if I take it to the yard myself.

I thought they paid you when you scrap a car in england

I'm really not sure what your point is

When many places are trying to do free delivery when ordering something Boots is charging you even when you go to there store to collect it..

The wife was like I need to buy this £3 item from IKEA. Which is a 30 minute drive away one way.

I'm like it's going to cost £5 in fuel plus all the wear and tear on the car to buy a £3 item.

Many Women no seem to think about the car fuel costs & wear/tear when it comes to things like this or they just don't care

How many times have i heard where someone has driven an extra 5 to 10 miles to buy something because it on offer and there saving £1

Bit like some people will waste hours bidding on an item on ebay to save a few quid

... you can just buy £20 worth, to get free click, and return all bar the goods you want later, at your leisure ...

Do i need to walk out the store before returning the stuff i no want
