    I just logged on to their website and it said "Sorry the sale has now ended" - considering it only officially started at 8am that must have been the quickest sale in british retail history

    Is it me or is it a bit, well....... rubbish? :o

    Out of the 5 items in my basket last night, 1 has been reduced by £2.00, 1 has vanished and the rest are still full price...... 1 of the items was a coat in the "exclusive online sale 30% off" and that's now back to full price :confused:
    You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that :p

    And the code for if you spend over £150 you get nominated day delivery didn't work for despite me spending over £150 and having less than 25 items in the basket.


    Just do standard delivery, otherwise you probably won't get anything. Happened to me twice! I think they wait until the day you have selected to pack up your bag, then ooops everything has sold out. Grrrr :mad:

    I have placed 2 separate orders adding a school dress and both times it only takes a percentage off the postage...80 odd pence. I have emailed them though and waiting a reply. Typical M&S online service to be honest. I am fully expecting several emails to tell me items have gone out of stock over the next few days.

    I tried numerous school wear - jumper, tshirt, socks, underwear - but none would give free delivery, so I gave up!

    I added socks. you have to put the code in for free delivery on schoolwear, but the first time I put it in it only removed around a pound, which will be the VAT saving. I entered the same code again, and it took the £3.50 off.

    I noticed schoolwear in the sale, just girls things though.

    When I checked out with my school socks added, I noticed that they had changed my delivery date by around 5 days! I assume by then all my sale items would have been out of stock!

    So I deleted the socks, but my order still showed the discount on delivery, and does in the email they sent :)

    I just gave them a quick call about the £3.50 delivery charge - saying that I had originally spent over £150 but everything kept going out of stock in my basket. Anyway the man kindly said he would take off the £3.50.

    Expected to be kept on hold for ages - but my call went straight through.
