  • I've had no trouble with multiple orders last time and all 3 now issued from last week's sale.

    Is this the same as the other week. Where you get the 3 4 2 and the 20% off

    I know it's gone now, as the one-day spectacular has finished, but in hopes of it happening again, here's a tip which worked for me:

    On the 3 for 2 items (gifts, gift wrap, cards etc), they calculated the 20% reduction (on the stuff I bought) BEFORE working out any other discounts - i.e. they worked out the full cost of ALL THREE items, took off 20% then took off the VAT reduction of 2.1%, THEN took off the cheapest item - so they took 20% off the 'price' of something I didn't pay for!!

    If the spectacular happens again, it might be worth a try?!

  • The wine I bought on-line on Thursday was delivered this morning by courier.

    I want to buy some of those yorkshire puds with beef and horse radish in so much. I wish this was on food, £9 is a bit wild!

    That's exactly what happened with my orders, which meant the gifts were a very good buy!

    Just got to hope they will actually be delivered!!

    Here's a question. You know at the minute you get 30% off 2 items of furniture bought together. Well if there was another 20% day, would you get the 20% off as well??
    Also..... is it this Thursday again? I think someone had suggested the 11th might be another spectacular!

    Thanks,
    Steve.

    Hi Steve, yes you should get the extra 20% off any existing offers. The paper over the weekend suggested that M&S were rumoured to be planning a further 20% off day this Thursday 11th. HTH

    There was a disclaimer on the furniture page last time - sadly, you didn't get both offers on the same purchase.

    Taking the train after work to the store would have been quicker than waiting for a delivery. Ordered 4.12 estimated receipt 8-9.12 , goods not even sent yet- apparently I have to wait another five days. Customer service? were very busy 20 min queue then told goods not in stock, then told to wait 5 days requested cancellation of not in stock items, then told should get in 5 days, seems they might not be out of stock....I don't hold out any hope.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I ordered just after midnight, and twoof the itmes they are saying are out of stock, they were still selling them lunchtime.

    No email, nothing, and they are saying they don't know when they will get the stock back in. Not happy
