Just noticed my local store is opening at 4am on Saturday. Just wondered for those that do go to the Sale when it opens how early do you get there?

Thanks

I go to Bluewater which opens at 5am and only get there about 15 mins before opening. There is a huge queue halfway round the top floor but you still get in once the doors open and I always manage to get good stuff. It just depends really on if you are desparate for something in particular. I think the people at the front of the queue must have been there since about 3ish which seems ridiculous to me. Getting up for 5am is hard enough. Hope that helps

How does quick shop work and anyone got a linky please

Its the same non-sale as sale. Its just a quicker way of shopping, you just put the item number and size you require in up to 10 items at a time and then add to your bag (its like a table, with column on left for item number then column to right with size required). Hope this helps, sorry couldn't get link to work!

I've just gone to the preview to start writing down some numbers and have noticed that some items I saw yesterday (in particular some wine glasses) have already disappeared! How can this happen if the VIP sale doesn't even strat until tomorrow????

Could be that stock's low and someone's bought them because they don't want to wait. The sale items are from the current website pages. I've just ordered a top that was in the sale and now doesn't seem to be because I didn't want to take a chance.

I just got this response from Next.

Thank you for your e-mail.

I am sorry that you were not selected to receive a priority e-mail to place your order over the internet prior to our Sale.

We use the selection criteria below to determine the volume of customers that we can invite to take part in our VIP Sale:

• You must have received a copy of the current season's Directory.
• 
  You must have an e-mail address registered to the account and have previously agreed to receive marketing e-mail literature.
• The remaining credit on your account should be greater than £300.
• You must have placed an order this season and must have previously ordered online.
  
• You must have a Next Directory Flexible Account and payments should be up to date.

I do hope that this information is useful to you and that you will continue to shop with us in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to write to us about this, and I can confirm that I have passed your comments to our Management Team.

Doesn't make any sense as I meet all their criteria and once again have not received a slot.

as anybody ever gone in the shop before the sale picked up the things you want at full price , then taken them back a couple of days after the sale and had a refund and then bought them back at sale prices?

Didn't think you could use quick shop for the vipsale anymore, thought you had to tick the box on the page and add to basket at the bottom of each page.

hi, i bought stuff online at the full price and returned them as didnt want them and the lady said they had gone down in the sale.
I said so would i have been able to buy them at the reduced price and she said no they have to go back as a directory return. I guess if they are bought in the store then you should be able to.
