I ordered 2 pairs of curtain hold backs and only received one pair so no use as they are now out of stock. I also was waiting on 6 cushions but received 2....half my items have still not arrived. Not great service.....0

Well my jeans finally turned up this morning, my last item. I ordered a 12L but got a 12 in the Tall range so they are a little long in the leg! They're really nice though and worth waiting for - I just need to alter them slightly LOL.0

I'm still waiting for a couple of things (which may never arrive!). At this rate this thread will turn into the 'when are the VIP invites due out' thread for the Summer sale!0

Don't worry, your shoes and boots may still be OK as I ordered a pair of shoes and they only arrived last week... I'm hoping that means that my boots are on the way cos I really need some0 -

I've ordered a few times and I've never known it to be this bad. I'm still waiting on 1-2 week stuff. I must be a mug, because I've seen some new lines added (I think) and I've ordered them too. Even they say 2-4 weeks!0 -
This is the first sale I haven't had a VIP slot and was initialy really disapointed but got my order through on boxing day that wasnt great but since then Ive been doing realy well, had 6 orders when the site has updated with returns etc and all the items have came really quickly, the only thing I really wanted and didnt get was some matching sets for my little one but all in all can't complain, service has been great!0
