Have you ever bought anything from Boots to find that it is out of date or just yucky? It has happened to me twice now, first time it was a tube of cream that I bought, when I opened it only water came out.. today I have unscrewed a tube of hair removing cream only to find black funghi around it! I don't have a reciept for it (as you don't think of saving reciepts for things like that) but it really is annoying!

TAKE IT BACK. The boots out here is a joke. It;s a shame considering how fab the boots in UK is I used to always wonder why Brits love Boots so much. I've lived in Thailand and here and the Boots are average to sad. I went to London at the beginning of December for 9 days and Boots there was heaven! Now I know what I've been missing. :)

i just did, initially they insisted on a reciept (no suprise! even though it is a Boots product/brand) then they told me they will look into it.. will see what happens. edited by swarovski on 02/01/2011 Just buy another one, check to make sure it's ok and then use the receipt to take the dodgy one back!

I bought aloe vera gel from them last month and the initial content came out in crystallized and powder form. Looked as if somebody had opened the tube and pressed some quantity out that got stuck to the mouth of the tube. Ofcourse, I didn't go back to them for replacement or anything. My mistake, that I didn't look carefully before buying. <em>edited by ChiggyWiggy on 02/01/2011</em>

TAKE IT BACK. The boots out here is a joke. I bought the bath and glory or whatever it's called. the range they do in boots. It was a tanner. Well the product inside had clearly hardened during transit, it came out in all little lumps and was an awful colour. Took it back, had to fill out a complaints and suggestions form, would be called back, 2 months later, 2 follow ups and nothing. I will go in when im in a bad mood and follow up again, until something is done as it is not on. It;s a shame considering how fab the boots in UK is
