    Thanks - it's nice being able to sort a chunk of the uniform so early and especially for a bargain. :j

    If you buy them online (dont know if you can with shoes!) then you have 35 days to exchange them - I thought it used to be longer than that but according to the website thats what it is now!

    I usually buy everything I need and then have exchanged them for a different size mid August if the little darlings have grown too much! M&S does school stuff all year round but will honour the 3 for 2 if you are exchanging items or if you order whilst the 3 for 2 offer is on (even if the delivery comes in whilst it is finished).
    Ooh that's a good idea, thanks for that:D Too late for me to get them in the 3 for 2 as I have everything, but I could get Clarks ones & hang on to them. Saves going instore when they're packed during August. Does anyone know how long you have to return shoes at Clarks??

    Hi

    Marks have just sent me a note saying that all my stuff is about to be delivered which is excellent however, I've just noticed that when they calculated the 3 for 2 it took it of the 4 cheapest items ( I ordered 12 items in total).

    I know that is what is says but when I've ordered elsewhere (boots for example) it groups things together e.g. 3 items at £10 it takes of £10, next 3 3 items were £9 it takes off £9 last 6 items at £5 it takes off two sets of £5.

    Marks on the other hand have just taken of 4 sets of £5. Did this happen to everyone?

    I take it the trick was to order them in batches of 3 (so four orders in total)?

    I put in 2 orders of 3 items.
    If you can be bothered , you could always return the lot and rebuy them

    Easter Road,
    Ive ordered in the 3 for 2 for the last few/couple of years and it did 'group' into say 3 £10 items, 3 £6 items before.

    But this year it was taking off the cheapest free items. Some of mine were £4 so it made a big difference when only the £4 were coming off instead of 3 for 2.

    In the end I havent yet ordered the £4, but I placed 3 smaller separate orders, making use of the freedelivery.

    we missed the Ann Summers sale - Would this offer be any good for a 36 year old woman?

    Couldn't you return the cheapest items so that they have to adjust your invoice and then reorder while you can still get 3 for 2 and free delivery
