    And LadyV !

    Me too! How very strange? (I did uncheck and then re-check my email promo box on my account page yesterday...? Coinsidence?):j

    I think they just had slots left and have started giving them out to customers who didn't have one in the first place. Although, during one of my numerous phonecalls to CS, a lady said I would be placed on the "reserve list" if a slot was to become available.

    I've got together quite a big list from the preview tonight, but I bet it'll all be gone tomorrow morning!

  • Grrr... only just realised that VIPs get early slots... :(
    have an account with next but the website is being so slow that i cant even log into my account..
    is it worth phoning up to try and order sale stuff if i didnt get a VIP slot, and i want the sanyo 37" tv for £275???
    are all the rumours that all the tvs have gone true??
    what do i do??

    We know that you'd booked a slot to visit our VIP sale last night. Due to our website running slower than normal, we know that some of our customers experienced problems accessing the website. We apologise if this happened to you.

    We'd like to give you an opportunity to place another VIP sale order...
    If you would like to book another VIP slot for Friday
    please visit NEXT.CO.UK/VIPSALE

    You may require your customer number -********




    Alternatively if you would like to place an order today...

    Please call 0844 844 8753

    and we'll arrange this for you.


    I too got the above email from NEXT BUT mine doesnt mention about being able to phone up and do an order today.
    Just wondering if anyone else has received this email and what yours said???

    I had this e-mail too after a sucessful order was placed.Perhaps they just sent it out to everyone who had a vip slot when the system went down.

    It's been working fine for me - sometimes slow, so when it does that I go back to the homepage and try again and it seems to speed it up again! also been looking at the sale preview and it's been fine.
