  • The staff who work instore get first pick of all the stock. My SIL works there and told me to compile a list and she will sort it for me yippeee!!!!!:T
    oooooooh i luv a bargain :)
  • Hi I didn't get a VIP sale slot this time i have always in the passed.So angry.........
    Although just wondering does anyone know if I still ordered things the now, then if i seen them in the sale a few days later can i phone and ask for the difference back.
    I have done it with Argos in the past and a friend done it with comet when she bought a T.V in store then seen it on their online site for £300 less. She went back in and got the £300 difference.
    I thought it would be a good way to get round this vip sale. :D:D:D:D

    All couriers are working on christmas eve. If we have next parcels we have to deliver them, we are not allowed to store them.
    So please, spare a thought for us whilst you are ordering your large amounts lol!!:p

    lol hehe Don't worry, my next lady is the best thign ever! plus, she's as pleased with punch at my large orders and large returns cos I think she gets paid on a per parcel basis (although I might be wrong...)...so I pack everything back in the individual wrappers it came in rather than stacking 3 or 4 parcels into one return..

    Think there may be something in that! You could always buy the stuff before sale time and return it instore after sale has started and buy back again at the reduced price!!:rotfl:

    if youve always had a slot then why be so angry you havent got one this time? shouldnt it be fair everyone has a slot at some point?

    yes ur right, couriers get paid per parcel delivered and per parcel returned, my usual courier has just fell ill with a burst apendix, poor soul, so lord knows who will be delivering my order, :confused: but like you he is the most reliable courier ever,
  • I got an invite and have booked a slot at 6.30pm on Monday - that was the earliest I could get (due to being away from home when the e-mail arrived and not having my account number to hand :o).

    I am eyeing up a particular bargain in electricals...does anyone know if I may have trouble getting it in this time slot?

    Thanks!

    If you don't get it wait a week or so & then start checking the listing every morning. They seem to update at about 6am. Last year I wanted loads of stuff as I had redecorated. It took a few weeks but I managed to get everything I was after, rugs, cushions, lampshades, pictures, the lot lol. In the case of lampshades I needed 2 & had a gap between managing to get both, I rang CS to explain I only wanted to keep the first one if I could get another, & they didn't mind if I needed to return it several weeks later. Can't knock Next on things like that they always seem really helpful.
