M&S Discounts - be careful

If you ordered from the M&S website on Thursday then there's a good chance that your order is delayed becuase if the volume of orders. Fair enough

However I would check that the discount is still being applied to the order - I checked mine and the discount had disappeared.

Must admit though a quick phone call to their customer services got the discount reapplied but thought it would be worth warning others about.

    I thought the discount was in store only? Otherwise I could have saved myself a visit at 10pm after my mum asked if I could get something that was out of stock at her local store.......
  • No the discount was applicable to online orders as well....and after a visit to the M&S store on thursday, there's no way would I go again on one of these days,lol!

    Do you reckon that they will do this discount again? Want to buy a TV from them?
  • SCRIBES : TV's were not included, in fact I don't think any electrical goods were as I couldn't get a discount off an iPod. The offer mainly applied to clothing and all the christmas stuff.
  • Think Electrical/Technology is excluded from the % off offers.

    There's offers on at the moment. My most recent email this afternoon is M&S up to 40% but I don't know how long for or how much stuff is actually discounted to a worthwhile amount.
  • i heard on the grapevine that they were donig another 20% day on December 4th, don't know how true that is though!!

    The 40% offer is on selected Per Una items. I've always found Per Una a bit odd.

    I was amazed at how efficient they were with Thursday's rush of orders. I got an email on Monday to say that my order had been despatched and it was with me first thing Tuesday. Better service than in quieter periods!
    Gone ... or have I?

    John Lewis give a 5 year guarantee as standard with all tv sets.
    They also price match.
    Hope that is a good alternative.

    Unfortunately JL do not price match on internet retailers. I would still recommend their stores though, but not JL Direct.
