Watch your mail for a letter from boden!!! [Archive] - Baby Bargains & Baby 411 Community

I got this letter today and went looking and found out a bunch of other people are getting the same letter. I am not a huge Boden shopper, and limit myself to 4 or 5 items per year (generally about $100 yearly in the Boden Budget), so this was a NICE surprise.

I used it on their spring preview site in conjunction with the code PRS2 for 20% off + FS/FR

Got myself a big applique tee totally free and have a buck left over.

Dear XX,
When you're born with ginger hair-and grow up as the son of a military man - praise is a strictly rationed commodity. So it meant a huge amount to me when you embraced Mini Boden and ordered lots of our colourful clothes. By making us feel welcomed "across the pond", you not only massaged my fragile ego, but helped create a bustling US subsidiary.

With Thanksgiving a matter of weeks away, we'd like to make a heartfelt contribution to your Winter wardrobe. Please accept this $25 voucher as a token of our affection..

It goes on to explain it is good on-line or to call. Expires 11/30

Dang it. I just made my first purchase about 1.5 weeks ago. I doubt I'll get one.

Awesome!!!! I'm more than happy to make them feel welcome across the pond - especially if they are going to thank me. Lol!! Off to stalk the mailman.

I jusy received mine today after almost losing hope!! :yay: So excited and happy! Though I've already spent a few hundred dollars already over the last few weeks due the all the sales they've been having. Hope they have another sale this week!

Oh I never read Kidwear so I didn't see that thread. I'm so glad I didn't throw it away!

I'm not a big Boden shopper either but I hope I'll receive this as I want to order from their Spring Preview.

I haven't checked today's mail, but I wonder if I call and let them know my boys are the sons of a military man they will give me a $25 credit :D? Not to mention my Father was in the military-way before I was born. I have a pic of me when I was about 3 and my hair was a light brown/red, I even had ginger colored hair! LOL!

Tell them you want a $100 voucher! :yay:

:hysterical:

I decided to call and ask if you didn't receive a voucher, would you still qualify if your father was in the military and your children's father was. My Dad was in Korea-after the war-DH served in the Gulf War and was Activated in the Army Reserves in 05, CS said if I didn't get a voucher by the end of the week call back and I would surely get a $25 credit. :rotflmao:

Haven't gotten one yet, but did get interesting mail from them today. I ordered a shirt that was back ordered with the mini boden sale. So I get the package envelope and in it is the packing slip, return label and that's it! NO shirt!!! so odd. They were very apologetic when I called and are shipping another one, but I was SO hoping they would throw in the $25 voucher ;)

I was able to put 2 items on sale (anorak $40.60 sale price), pants for reg.p., used a code for buy 2 get one for $1 and stock up $25 voucher, which they sent to me... So, I basically paid 1 anorak price ($ 57.20). I hope I did good:)
I checke their web-site today and saw that sale for coats ended... Glad that I ordered right away.

The CS Rep I talked to last night said they are still being mailed out all this week, so for the ones of us that haven't gotten one still have lots of hope!

Call CS! I read from another board that they will look up your account and may credit you. Doesn't hurt to try.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to try this later on today. I use my mom's address when I order from the US site, but she is out of town staying with my sister who had a baby and can't check her mail. Its killing me to know there *might* be a voucher sitting there.

It probably is sitting there - but has to be used by Nov 30! I called CS today coz I was beside myself for not having gotten one - the nice UK rep said to wait a few days, and if it doesn't arrive, just add in the comments box to use the $25 gift voucher when I place my order. (I assume this means most US customers will eventually get this voucher!) Two hours later, there it was in my mailbox - and was spent before the day was done! So if you order, use code H441 for 20% off and fs/fr, and then write-in that they should use your gift cert, you're out of the country and not able to access the code.

I just placed my order. I called because I wanted to used the BUY 2 Get the THIRD FOR $1 promotion but it wouldn't work when I tried it online. I think that promotion works until the 12th. Saved me a couple of dollars over the 20% code. I bought 3 sets of tights and a 3 pack of belts for $50 even after using my $25 voucher.

Couldn't resist!!!

You just have to make sure you don't want to return any of the items on the B2G1 for $1 offer, because you get back $1 on your return! Otherwise, a great deal. I ended up using 20% off even tho I ordered three things, because I wasn't sure if I'd keep all 3 of them.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know that and was all set to order but glad I switched it to the 20% off with FS/FR since I definitely don't know if I will keep the items. The B2G1 for $1 would have saved me $11 but it's nicer to be able to order the same thing in 2 sizes and be able to return the one I don't want since I am still learning what size I wear at Boden ;)

I am going to be really sad if I don't get a voucher. :cry: I have ordered over $100 worth of stuff from Boden this Fall. I am hoping that I didn't throw it away last week before I knew about this.

Did the envelope have "Boden" on it? I throw away most things that don't have names/return addresses because I think they are junk.

jenfromnj

11-10-2010, 04:53 PM

Just when I'd given up hope, we came home this morning and found a Boden envelope in the mailbox! :yay:

Yep, the envelope said "Boden" in big, bright print.

sewarsh

11-10-2010, 05:04 PM

I got mine today and although I've bought Boden at Nordstrom, I think I've only had 2 orders TOTAL in the past, one of which I used credits for! Shocked I got it, but I'll definately put this baby to good use! :)

I didn't get one either but I called CS and the lady offered to give me $25 off if I placed an order over the phone. Since I was taken off guard, she just said to go ahead and order online and mention the $25 in the instructions. I ordered a velvet blazer today through ebates, I hope the $25 get taken off :wink2:
