    I guess if you phone them to explain it shouldn't be a problem? I would go for it!
  • Me too! I had a slot on the 22nd, and now on my account it's showing another slot ime to book (up until noon) not going to bother though incase it messes up anything I've previously bought in the vip sale the other day?!


    Hi - don't think it would mess a previous order up as they process it almost straight away. Is virtually impossible to cancel an order once placed as they usually say to wait till it arrives and then return it.

    Thanks for that (although there was nothing more I needed) although I'll remeber that for next time should it arise!
  • Just rang next and a lot of the items I wanted were out of stock! so good luck to anyone trying to place an order with them at this stage! They told me to try again in a week;)

    Does this mean next are now taking phone sale orders if you didn't get a vip slot?

  • I was also offered another slot and took the first available one. However, when adding items to my basket they were going through at the full price. I continued with the order and phoned customer services who added a note to my account, confirming that the sale price will be applied.

    Interestingly, I added the code for the Panasonic 42" plasma TV (£312 sale price) which was sold out when I originally tried it on Monday. It showed in stock this time, but given that everything was showing as full price I decided not to take the risk!

    No was told items would be charged at full price as sale doesnt start until 27th. Got a coat which will be delivered in 1-2 weeks. If it comes charged at full price I shall be returning it to the store and buying it back at sale price! Doesnt seem fair people are getting two vip slots when some of us cant even get one! I thought with the credit crunch people werent spending as much!!
    oooooooh i luv a bargain :)
  • Return it to your store and see if you can buy it back at sale price!

    If you have bought it full price through the directory website online then you cant. They process it as a directory return which then gets sent back to the distribution centre not placed back into normal shops stock.

    The only reason I know is that my other half works for next warehouse and he always has tubs and tubs of stuff that are directory returns.

    HTH :)

  • Did anyone get charged for delivery when they placed an order during their vip slot?

    I did although the free delivery offer was still on.
