    I tried for just under an hour to log into my slot, eventually rang my order through....mind you I spoke to 4 different people before someone would take my order. Most of the stuff I ordered for my little boy was in stock but everything I had ordered for my 4 year old daughter was sold out!!
    Never had any problems getting through to vip sale before...:confused:.not very impressed this year...

    wow what a palava!!!

    I'm really glad I didn;t get a VIP slot now!! Theres no-way I need anymore stress in my life right now, and this all sounds so ridiculous to have to muck about like this! Shame on Next for a poor service. Although it could be that so many people are trying alternative ways to get into the sales that it's crashed it??

    They've put a holding page on the whole website now about technical difficulties.

    For those who have had their slot and managed to order online, was there a restriction to the number of items in each order? I think last time they only let you order 20 items at a time?

    I was going to write the numbers down last night but went to bed DOH! So just rung the helpline and got thro - placed an order and got the big barbi :T- but couldnt remember the clothes I needed (too many) so it looks like I may have to wear my barbi for work for the next 6 months!
