    Interested in that rumour of another on the 4th....

    I got an email too, saying stuff will be delivered by 1 December at latest. Clearly not prioritising based on the time people ordered then!

    I got this email today:

    Dear Customer,

    Thank you for participating in our Christmas spectacular.

    Due to the volume of orders we received during this event, I’m sorry to inform you that there may be a delay with the delivery of your order. The latest delivery estimate for your order is 01 December 2008. I hope that this will not cause any inconvenience.

    Once again, I’m sorry for any delay and hope that you enjoy the rest of your day.

    Can't say I blame them!
    AND - there might be a repeat! Read a very short paragraph in tonight's London Lite (page 15) which said that "bosses at M&S are planning another one-day sale. The high street retailer is considering holding the sale on Thursday 4 December, after last week's 20% off promotion helped to improve sluggish pre-Christmas sales figures."

    Should it be true, I will be there the day before, trying stuff on and doing customer reservations!
    Reclaimed thanks to this site:

  • Make sure you check your orders correctly. I received confirmation my order had been dispatched in one box. When I retrieved it from a neighbours house the box was not big enough for the whole order.

    It looks as though the items were not dispatched.

    They are now having to reorder the items not received and are having problems because we ordered them on the offer day.

    Can you all check that your orders have had the 20% discount applied still just checked mine and Ive lost over £10 from the 20% discount for some reason.
    Im seriously p*ssed off - plus in an email i recieved i was told stuff id ordered was out of stock but yet its showing as in stock on the website
    Just sent an email asking why Id lost my discount and why stock was instock but not being dispatched to me for another 2 weeks after there next discount day :|
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together
