Does Next offer 'next day' delivery to NI?

Options
Can anyone tell me if Next delivers clothes using their 'next-day' service to NI? Their web site is pretty vague.

If they do, can you get next-day delivery to a store rather than your home address? That way if I'm not in it would be easier for me to pick up a parcel up at a store instead. I'm going on holiday and need to get a few things in a hurry.

Thanks.

    From my experience, Next don't offer next day delivery to NI.

    Usually store delivery is a little quicker than home delivery.

    If you place an online order, at the very end you get the option to choose home or store delivery and the date of delivery.

    Sometimes my order arrives the day before I am expecting it which is great!

    Hope this helps.

    Not next day. They use couriers to deliver orders and this can take up to 5 days. If you deliver to a store you will get free delivery and will also be able to pick a delivery date.

    I am dubious of their 'delivery to store' option. I've only used it twice, then gave up on it, because both times, the goods did not arrive until several days after I was told they would be there. It would have been quicker to have them delivered by the normal delivery service. The store manager (who I eventually had to speak to after spending three entire lunch breaks queuing in Next to be told that my delivery hadn't arrived) said that it happened all the time, and that Next directory were aware that there was a fault with their website but had no plans to fix it........this happened a few months ago, and I haven't wasted time on this 'service' since.
  • OK, I placed an order and it automatically gave me free delivery to my home address on an order of £50.

    The specified delivery date is Wednesday 28th October. How likely am I to actually get the goods on that day? I'm a bit worried because I go on holiday on the 30th!

    Ever since Famac disappeared and they introduced the courier service where people deliver from their own cars, I've never had any problem with the home delivery dates, my orders have always arrived on time, and sometimes the day before I was expecting them.

    And they don't hide the parcel in your bin, or throw it from a moving van Famac style either, which is always a bonus.....

    Famac are still going strong under the name of HDN(NI) same drivers and staff, Next use Parcelnet who in turn use people in cars. It will depend if your local delivery agent delivers more than once a week and on what days as to whether you'll get it before the 30th. If you get a tracking number from Next you can check the progress of your delivery at http://www.hermes-europe.co.uk/default.html
