Next VIP Sale

Hi im a not sure when the next vip sale will be but as i'm a next courier we have got priority on the sale items on monday 22nd dec so I presume the v.i.p slots will start the following day.We finish delivering parcels on christmas eve and we are not back to work until the 29th dec so its unlikely that any sale items will be delivered before xmas.

I hope this helps.

    Me neither, I must've been buying stuff online for the last four or five years.

    Disgraceful!
  • I really do think the VIP invites are random, I always seem to get an invite, yet I only purchase sale items??? Not sure what the criteria is for an invite but in my case it's cerainly not on what I spend throughout the year.

    Maybe a case of you are considered a cash cow. (no offence) But why would they send you an invite when you spend loads with them on full price gear. They want you continue to spend loads on full price clothes, and perhaps discounted stuff may distract you. Eg your annual buy may be 5 tops a year, but if you bought 5 discounted tops, you would not purchase any more full price gear.

    just my thoughts but I think the policy is to milk customers for what they are worth.

    last year i only shopped in the sales and the years previous to that and never got an invite either. i follow the sale thread on mse every sale and its ALWAYS the same people getting invites and the same people that never get one. its not randomn at all otherwise people wouldnt get invites for every sale

    my sister in law never gets and invite but always rings them to ask why and they give her a time to ring in with her order - might be worth trying for anyone who doesn't get a slot. xxx
