Middlesbrough River Island has tons of sale stock in all different sizes BUT the two sale items I chose did not reduce by 50% when i took them to the till, and the SA would not budge! Maybe thats why they still have loads of sale stuff.

Thats not fair, EVERYTHING in the sale is reduced by another 50% all the other shops are so that store is no exception. I'd go back with items and speak to manager.

yes, definitely go back and have it reduced! spoke to one of the ladies who work there and i asked her if i cud bring back the sale items i bought b4 they have further reduced and she said she cudnt see anything wrong with that as long as u have the reciept & the tags still intact and havent been use. i asked if i cud buy it back and she said yes.
so im going to back with the sale items to have it further reduce. im just waititng for my delivery that was ordered b4 this massive reduced!

Ahhh thanks

I doubt it too, I am just annoyed that River Island allowed me to add to my basket, then took 2 days to inform me it was out of stock.

I am on ebay, I buy and sell and have 100% feedback incase anyone is worried about anything. You can have a look. I wouldn't normally do it, but I love that bag, and the one on ebay ends at the weekend when I can't get online :-(

if you cant get online when the auction ends, why not use ebay snipe! almost sure to win using one of these!

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to thank the OP. I never really consider River Island because it's a bit expensive for me and I just don't feel trendy enough to shop in there!! However, had a nose on the website after the reading this thread and managed to buy a dress, a jumper and a cardy for £20 in cluding P&P. Really pleased! Then went into store today and the 50% off men's sale prices was on also so I got my hubby a pair of plimsol type shoes for £1, a scarf for £3, a T-shirt £1.50, another t-shirt for £2.50 and a smart shirt for £4. At original prices would have cost me around £80! Really happy and hubby will be when he opens his birthday pressies next week. Thanks so much xx

went to river island yesterday to return some stuff i bought online and behind the desk was a box full of stuff including a really nice river island clutch/purse- asked the Sa to scan for me and she said £4!!! i said I'll take it. she said the box was full of staff reserves, also phoned manager to check. Manager said box was for staff reserves. Is this allowed?
TIA

Course it is. One of the benefits of working in a shop - you get first dibs on all the good stuff!! Happens in every store. When I used to work in Debenhams and my mum now. Why wouldnt staff be allowed to? They will just buy it at the end of the day of whenever they can.

Just got the three shirts through that I ordered and I'm very happy with them. The size is rather 'fitted' shall I say, but I could always do with shedding a few pounds... Very nice quality shirts at an amazing price.

I think it happens in most stores suppose one of the only perk of the job however there is a way of doing it, items should not be on show for the customer to see, especially if they have first pick so theres going to be some good stuff in there and like jtz did the customer is going to ask. They should be put in the back or under the till.
