Dear god, you need to chill...People aren't bragging, they're just happy and letting others know! You've a right to be bitter because you missed out on the biggest discounts (which I'm sure you would have used just like anybody else if you'd known about them!), but there's no need to take it out on everyone else! It was a glitch, people have taken a chance, and well done to those who have succeeded! :j

well said max. i completley agree with that. i can understand why they would feel gutted coz i wud 2 but at the same time other people are just reporting what has happened in their case and to be honest i think most of us want to know wats happeneing with other people orders coz it gives us more of a chance to figure out what might be happening to ours.:p

I am actually pretty gutted i orderd @ 4am 3rd Dec i orderd 5 items and didnt use all the codes so my end bill was more than £3.50 (basically free to those who got it) and now all i see is people bragging about getting their £3.50 orders. I checked my order this morning and 2 of the items have been removed from the online order but my e-mail confirmation states all the items. So to those who are saying praise to M&S for honouring the orders maybe you should keep a lid on it as not everyone is getting their items and certainly didnt take the !!!! out of M&S by grabbing items for just a delivery charge.

Call it sour grapes if you will but bragging is probably as bad if not worse than jealousy.

I am also one of those that have not yet received a despatch email and to be honest I'm not very confident that I will actually get my order but regardless of that I am still genuinely happy for those who have have had their orders fulfilled and despatched. Reading through the posts I see no signs of bragging on anyones part only a lot of excited people who have managed to grab a bargain and lets face it that's what this site is all about.
The way I look at it is even if I'm not one of the lucky one's at least some of our other members will benefit and I for on couldn't be more happy for them.
Cheers

Not sure if you are referring to me there.....Incase you were, I just wanted to point out that I only posted to say my order had arrived so people knew for certain at least some were being sent out - Sincere apologies to anyone who believed I was bragging about it:o, I was honestly just trying to keep people informed as to what was happening.

On my post I did state that I hoped everyone got their orders, and I really do. It does seem very strange that M&S are playing round with some orders, delaying some and sending some out as they were.

(Incase anyone was wondering, my order wasn't a £3.50 total one)

i for one thankyou for letting us know what is happeningas it helps us (me anyway) know what the situation is lloking like.:j

why arent you confident about getting your order?

the way i see it is that so far there have been no cancellations and i wud assume if they were going to do that then they wud have done from the very beginning.

the only way i dont see us getting out orders are if they run out of stock.

I too only posted because it gives everyone else waiting hope. FYI I ordered a variety of items that amounted to £72 (full value £153) and did not get alcohol for free but very happy as it worked out 75% off.

Those of us that were lucky enough to see the OP's post, took an opportunity and hopefully most of us will get lucky.

Obviously, I do think there is a line you shouldn't cross in these situations but that's up to M&S to resolve!

i ordered at about 12 ish and mine now says despatching soon, i wasnt greedy either although i did have free delivery too at one point but it dissapeared when i finally ordered.
order total came to £56.00 and am paying £18 i have ordered a couple of the festive fizz

Hi roxy86,

I guess it's just a case of me trying not to get my hopes up too much...................but that hasn't stopped me checking my inbox every 2 minutes like an excited child:D
And you can bet that if I do get a despatch email I'll be on here "bragging" about it big time :rotfl:

What they said ^^^^^^

Quoted as I couldn't have said it better myself

I'm not confident in rec'ing my order because it's M&S and they can be a bit hit and miss with online orders, buy 'yay' to those who have rec'd their order

Just got my 'dispatched' email for the £3.50 glitch (my total order was £60) - very very suprised that these have gone through without being cancelled. I get the feeling that it might be easier for M&S to honour these orders rather than deal with the bad press/complaints that would probably follow.
