    Hi sorry to be so checky but i registered for 6pm but have to go away on business now, you wouldn't be kind enough to forward me the link and password the 6am slot, Thanks

    Once you register for a slot, it is yours and yours alone. I very much doubt it's possible to do what you are asking, and I'm 100% certain that no-one would give their slot up.

    Your best bet would be to ring Next and explain the situation to them - if you have registered already for a timeslot but can't make it, they are usually quite accommodating at letting you change things round. I don't think you'll get an early slot now though.

    You can def use the slots at the same time, as I gave my mum mine last year and we both ordered at the same time. Its just one link and password for everyone for each 1/2 slot. anyone want to swap a 6pm tomorrow night for a early morning one before 8.30am? If so please email me. I did ring next but they said i can just use the same login for anytime, but think the women couldn't be bothered and was fobbing me off!

    I'm tired, finished making my list last night at 1 am

    Up too early

    My slot's at 6.30 and im worried the computer will crash or something..... in the middle of the order!

    So when they say you can take as long as you want to place the order you can go over your half an hour just as long as you are signed in??

    A bit late I know to get an answer!

    Oh well, will check back later to see how it all went for the earlies!

    £250 later!
    I thought this site was about saving money, lol!

    No probs logging in or ordering stuff, got virtually everything on my list, most should be delivered tomorrow apparently.

    3 week wait for the xmas tree reduced from £75 down to £25, but hey, who cares.
    When it comes to thought, some people stop at nothing.........

    £600 LATER !!!!! Almost everything was available and system didnt crash, as it normally does. They have obviously made some improvements to the system. Mine is being delivered Friday, oh tomorrow ! WOW, very pleased.

    Hi

    I have just done my vip order and here are my top tips!!

    Have all your codes written down for the items you want and use quickshop - this is much quiker and easier

    If the item you really want is not in the sale listing try it anyway as nearly ALL the current directory stuff is reduced (only 1 thing I tried wasn't!!)

    BEFORE your time slot - play about with the normal site and add the list of stuff to your basket - if something is out of stock, this will tell you and you will know in advance, making your actual ordering process quicker. This is crucial as if somebody has the same items in their basket as you at the time of your VIP slot, and they check out before you then you will LOSE items out of your basket!!!

    Also - I was amazed that the delivery date for the items that are in stock is FRIDAY 23 DEC!!!

    Hope this helps and happy shopping!!!

    I had a VIP slot at 7 am - did my order and then have just gone back and placed another order, at sale prices. So anyone who hasnt got a VIP slot I would try anyway - the sale prices dont show up until you put in your account number and checkout. Good Luck !

    Just another tip.....

    when i tried to order on-line the website didnt recognise the 6 digit codes shown on the sales listing. however if you end the 6 digit code with GL6 it accepts it no problem.

    happy shopping !!!
