    Speaking up for the IT dept here. Someone obviously made the decision to let people continue sale shopping after their slot had finished for the day. It sounds as though the IT dept. hadn't been given the resources to cope with this larger number of people. I think previous years everyone has been content with just having their sale slot apart from those who don't get a VIP invite.
    I think the problem is that they cater for x number of people who have that time slot but don't account for the fact you only need to log in during your time slot and not checkout. I logged in at 18.00 and then back in at 18.45 to do the second part of our order (didn't want to order too much in the first order as I thought there was a limit on what you could have in your bsaket) and so was trying to check out the 2nd order at 19.30ish, at which point there were probably people from 4 time slots (18.00-19.00, 18.30-19.30, 19.00-20.00 and 19.30-20.00) all trying to use the site.

    My slot was between 6.30 and 7.30 this morning. I had no problems whatsoever with my order. When I got to about 70 items it made me check out, but I was able to go back in and re-order a 2nd time. Most of what I ordered was in stock. I did double up on a lot of things as recently I have found their sizing to be a bit off. Think this is their best sale yet!!!:j

    I duplicated orders as well, hopefully should mean a greater chance of receiving the "4-5 weeks" items.

    Try calling them to see if they can tell you if it is in full price. Also, could you drop in to one of the stores?
