Next VIP Sale

Mum2Princess

I mainly order for my daughter in the next sale & I don't care if anyone likes it or not. Great bargains & I kit her out for a year. I keep everything I order for her. I only order a few bits for me & hubby and I have to order 2 sizes because the womens sizes are so inconsistent. I then return the size that doesn't fit so someone else can have it. Yes, I can see how very selfish I am :rolleyes:

I hate the Next sale. Same old people always get the VIP slots and order hundreds of items, most of which they have absolutely no intention of keeping, and by the time the non-VIPs get a chance there is nothing left. Selfish, selfish, selfish.

I've been shopping with Next online for the past 10+ years and never, ever got a VIP slot so I don't believe the "random invite" story one little bit.

And another one :rolleyes:

If you got a slot, are you telling me you wouldn't use it? You wouldn't order what you want, then when it arrives decide you don't like it and send it back?

I'm so sorry if i'm selfish for getting a few bits for my family and taking advantage of the sale!!

Just been checking out this page (ignore the caffeine things in the top left-no idea what thats all about) but looking down at the remington wet to straight-i thought Next were advertising this sale as 50% or more of EVERYTHING??!!

I wouldn't worry about it JoJo. Theres only one selfish person, the person complaining that they haven't got a slot.

I would use it, yes, of course I would, but I would only order what we needed, maybe a dozen or so items, not over 100 and then complain because I couldnt order more!

I'm not calling everyone who gets a VIP slot selfish, just those that abuse the privilege.

I only ever have the intention of ordering a dozen bits, but its amazing how quickly the list grows-particularly with an 11, 9 and 1 year old plus the 37 year old-(he's the biggest kid);)

jojo ignore comments like that - if next cared how much people ordered they'd put a limit on the no of orders in a vip slot (eg one order of up to 60 items), they don't care WHO buys their sale stuff, just as long as it sells. The VIP sale is just a way to handle traffic on their internet site so they don't get overloaded. You don't have to justify how many items you and your family need to order or can afford to buy - we live in a capitalist world, if you want it/need it/can pay for it then its your choice!

I'm suprised we're not getting posts telling us all how selfish we are to be buying clothes when we should be sponsoring goats for third world countries. The only thing nearly as fun as the next sale...is the next sale thread and the sour grapes comments!

if you just log into your account, the VIP slot and VIP preview listings are choices in the right hand side menu.
