  • I could only find one thing i wanted,but the checkout process didnt work.
    It said to call customer services and book and i was shocked when they answered str8 away and the price was the reduced price!

    Just back from Next sale at store in Buxton...lots of people queuing from 7am...we must be mad!!!
    Quite a small store, but very pleased with bargains...all genuine stock reduced, not rubbish brought in for sales...bought boots, fleecy dressing gown, lots of baby things...excellent!

    I only seem to have lost one thing, phew!

    I spent quite a bit, but most of it is duplicates because I wasn't sure what size to get- at least it goes on an account though!- A lot of the things say 'delivery 2-4 weeks', this happened last year and I ended up not getting some of the items- fingers crossed!

    Just browsing through now and there are a few bits I missed, overall really disappointed with the home section though.

  • I was online at 7.45 and had some great stuff in my basket but by the time I went to checkout half of it came up as out of stock. Next always do this and it really annoys me - if I was in a shop with a product in my basket they would not be able to remove and tell me it had sold old it so how comes the same is not true online!!

    Next offer pre-sale VIP slots to some customers which start several days before the sale officially starts - so they get the pick of the stuff. That's why it's always better to go to the store and queue if you have something you particularly want and don't have a VIP slot.

    You also don't have to wait weeks to get your hands on the stuff either!
