Boxing Day sale advice!!

Hi guys,
If there's anything that you are hoping will go in the sale, I advise you reserve it now and extend the reservation directly through the store if possible...
The online sale begins tomorrow which means everyone will begin reserving everything to collect on Boxing Day - if you already have it reserved then it'll be waiting for you to collect at the reduced price :beer:
Merry Christmas xXx

    You mightn't have to extend the reservation.

    I was just thinking that if their computers are set up correctly the reservation would expire at the end of boxing day anyway, it would be ridiculous reserving a product on Christmas Eve for it to expire on Christmas day when the store is closed.

    Good idea to reserve something though if you're prepared to pay the normal price, not so good if you will only buy it at the reduced price as it'll obviously reduce their stock availability for other potential buyers.

    You can't tell unless you work at the store...basically any items which are not due to be in the January catalogue are incredibly likely to be in the sale, but lots of other things will be too. Hopefully you're right about the reservations - I've never tried to reserve something on Christmas Day before so I'm not entirely sure!!
    Good luck xXx
