    LOL, never seen a website that operated a queueing mechanism before. Can't be arsed with that, Next never have anything good in their sales anyway.

  • I went to the Southampton store today at 7.30, They had 1 rail of boys stuff!!!!!!:eek: What a waste of time! Didn't buy anything at all. Spent 15 mins fighting with a buggy to get to the kids stuff and then another 15 mins fighting to get back out. What a waste of time. Also nearly punched about 20 people who look at you as if you're a mass murderer as you've got a buggy!!!!:mad::mad:

    Hi toto,

    Justy ring and place the order like it suggests. They answered str8 away for me.

    I did phone an order through in the end thanks. I only ordered some school tops for my daughter, saved myself loads of money because my original order included some work clothes and jeans for me but I couldn't be bothered to trawl through womens to get the item numbers :)

    The website is pants ! I don't know if it is always like this or is this a watered down functionality version to cope with the large number of people visiting their site but you can't zoom into see any of the items nor is there an adequate feature description of most of the products.

    I was in there and probably passed you on the way out. It was much busier than normal - guessing as more people came out as it was 7am not 5am. So many peope were so rude, knocking into people, queue jumping etc.... does not take much to say sorry. Did see a few people with a buggy - beyond me why you'd do that!

    I spent just under £200 and did quite well. Just grabbed things in the kids bit with a 4 and 6 on but luckily did ok x
  • Whenever i look on Next i just feel like im browsing a very dated Grattan catalogue!
    Im sure the in store sale is a lot better!
    Managed to get some half price aftershaves tho. But then again, i am an ebay seller rather that a personal buyer. Although, i couldnt find anything i liked personally!!

    Website has now crashed! Got as far as paying entered everything and pressed complete my order and got an error message :confused:

    So it has emptied my basket and I have lost the will to live with it being honest , it was just some jeans for my biggest one, so I will try elsewhere!!!

  • I was in store in Stoke today - absolutely manic!!! Everyone said that this was the worse year yet and they should have opened at 5 - I was really lucky as they stopped people coming in just after me and tbh most of it had already gone by the time I got in there - I too just grabbed anything that had a 12-18 or 18-24 month label on it and sorted it out when I got home - slightly annoyed that I've still be charged full price for a couple of items so will be taking them back on Monday along with 2 of the 5 coats for DS that I bought - must have been that tired!!! Best thing about the sale was the gift sets that I got for next years christmas presents - I've just used up the ones that I bought last year..

    Good Luck to anyone that is braving it later today
