Next VIP invitations released

jo91

I was 'lucky' in that I got a VIP slot (6 - 7pm last nt), but, as posted by many others, the site was pants ! Just got an email apologising for this and inviting me to book another slot (altho cheeky me had already done this - despite the message saying that I could only have 1!) Might be useful to any others of you that have had a rubbish experience on the site...

I've already had a VIP order, but the site is saying I can book a friday slot too - is this correct? There's a warning that it would replace my current slot, but my current slot is expired.

eventhough yesterday they apologised for not sending me one but its random blah blah blah, just got the standard e mail saying I can book a slot from Wednesday 15th!!!!
Still have to wait until tomorrow morning mind you!!!

yep you can book another slot

seems the sale hasnt been as popular as expected, if they are inviting people to come and have another look, or adding new people to the VIP list

if you have already done your vip order it wont let you do another apparntly, I missed one thing out cause the site was so bad, just rang up after the email was sent, they said I had already made a vip sale so couldnt do any more, but "just this once they would take the one item, but postage would still need to be paid, as its a different day".

i found them quite rude considering I couldnt do it online, couldnt get cashback, and had to do it over the phone on my mobile charging billions a minute. I think they could have let the postage go!

Good luck to you all, hopefully the new slots will work!:D

Just had the same email apologising for the site running "slower than normal" - if it had run any slower it would've been going backwards :rotfl::rotfl:

How very strange, after being told that i wouldn't and didn't qualify for a VIP invitation i get one today! That means that there "random" criteria is absolutly rubbish as i know for a fact that from what they told me i should not have got one at all.

I didn't get one because i complained either as they said that there were none left and they were not allowed to give any out.

I logged in today as well and was surprised to see I had a VIP slot, despite receiving no email and I was told by customer services I hadn't been allocated
I didn't even bother to complain so I am very surprised, but also happy . My slot is tomorrow morning.

I think I am one of these people - I've just logged in and to my surprise have a VIP invitation.
Must be the credit crunch

Last night I phoned Next to try to add one item to my already placed online order when I realised the item was in the sale (it hadn't been listed in the preview). However, on ringing Next I was told this couldn't be done and I would have to place another order online during my allocated time slot AND pay the £3.95 postage!! Couldn't even if I'd wanted to so thanks Next.
