Blinking Boden returns

11 replies

purplepeony · 20/07/2010 22:35

sent for 2 pairs jeans in sale- impulse- neither any good. Skinny legs- size 10 tiny, size 12 just weird- back pckets on my thighs not bum and thighs are baggy.

anyway- got to spend £££s posting back. Am so used to having a returns label that I had forgotten this. What with P&P and returns, I could have bought a pair at Uniqlo!

You have to save the labels when it's non sale time! I spent a tenner sending stuff back to Isabella Oliver today though

Which jeans did you order? I am waiting for straight legs to arrive.......last seasons fitted really well so shall be very annoyed if they have messed with the cut!

I remembered to save returns labels earlier this year. Just hope I can find them if needed!

Boden straight leg jeans are sitting in my wardrobe - worn once - went baggy very quickly. My legs are skinnier than my waist size.Only Gap jeans seem to hug my thighs and fit my waist. If anyone is looking for a size 12R in dark/vintage denim(not sure which), I'll happily send them on for sale price plus postage

If you are returning your whole order within 7 days they should refund your original postage www.bbc.co.uk/news/10560466

Lol Eldon- I posted that link myself! I will try it on. I tired it with NEXT but they are not honouring it until 1st August.

The jeans are IMO a very weird fit.

The 10s are tiny (I know I have put weight on but can get into both their velvet jeans and wool boot legs in a 10 - not at the same time though!)

The 12s fit round the waist but are a bit too big. They are very big round top of the thigh, at the back of leg under bum.

They are also too long- I am a 29-30 leg, so if I had them shortened the cut would look odd as they are tapered rather than straight leg.

I think I posted on your original thread

I'm in the same boat Purple ... have a huge box and it's going to break my hear to post it

EldonAve · 21/07/2010 15:25

get someone to scan a free returns label and email it to you
print it out and stick it on

millie - don't forget, you don't have to send it in the box. I had a huge box, with one dress, one pair of kids' jeans, and one shoe box in - I kept the shoes, so I just put the stuff I was returning in a used jiffy bag, and sent it that way - much cheaper.

Millie1 · 21/07/2010 16:59

Thought of that Jackie but it's a pair of shoes I'm sending back with a couple of t-shirts/shorts - unless I put them in a jiffy bag? Would save several hundred grammes on postage costs. Thanks!

EldonAve - thanks. Sister might have one but is on hols at moment. Must text her and ask her!
