  • The way the M&S system works is by allocating stock to the first available (requested) despatch date, so always go for the first available date for home delivery, never store delivery.

    I found this out to my disgust at the weekend. Ordered over £150 of stuff in the early hours Thurs for home delivery on Friday (1st available date) and everything was delivered. Payment was taken immediately. Then spotted a few pairs of shoes and was going to have to pay delivery so opted for the 1st available instore delivery date (Sunday). Not a good idea, as the stupid M&S system allocates all orders by requested delivery date. SO.....by the time it got to Sunday, everything was out of stock !!! What a joke !!!!
    Some days you're the bird......and some days you're the statue :cool:

    My Wed Pm order arrived in full on Friday, nominated delivery. Now I've had an email to say the order I placed on Thursday at 9.30 am is on it's way...5 out of 7 items but all ladieswear. I haven't had any out of stock emails for the missing items. Yesterday I returned some of my Friday delivery for refunds so this made me realise that stock levels might fluctuate with returns too.

  • I ordered 20 things split into 3 orders

    11 items, mixed ladies & men at 9.15 Wednesday evening, all dispatched today.

    3 items, ladies at 6:30 Thursday morning, all dispatched today.

    6 items, ladies at 2:00 Saturday afternoon, all dispatched and received today.

    I know I am one of the lucky ones but I have had no bother with M&S online for nearly two years now.
