    does anyone know why we can't view electrical items in the sale?

    You never can on electricals until the slots go live.
    I have been given a VIP slot for the first time.

    Could anyone tell me, once an item is in your basket, is it reserved to you, or come checkout time could the items have been bought from under you?

    Many thanks.

    Its not reserved and can show as sold out by the time you checkout

    You'll need to write the item numbers down as your basket gets emptied when you log out

    From what I can gather bookmarking items doesn't work either, I bookmarked a few things I want for my daughter and an hour later when I loaded them up they were either dead links or links to a different item

    Reading the terms and conditions it looks like it will be limited to 60 items per vip slot again. Which I feel is probably way too many as it means that everyone doesn't get a fair chance to get at least some of the items that you want in the vip slots and by the time the sale actually starts.

    Could you check out with your 60 items then do another order? or is it 60 items per customer?

    I have been really lucky in that I've received a few VIP slots now and even thou of course I will be using mine I do agree that it isn't a fair selection process. Surely if the process was 'random' then it would be different people every VIP but it seems as thou the same people get them every time and the same in that the same people don't get them! As much as I love the VIP sale, its always chaos, and the system usually crashes and people end up spending ages on the phone to CS to try and order by which time loads have sold out and agree with others that really I think that I spend way more than I would normally just because its there! That said, its always great on MSE when the Next sale is due/on. Happy shopping everyone (which ever way you shop!)

    I have done this before and always work and if you ring them up afterwards and explain they should only put 1 delievery charge on!!
  • Next sale is definitely on - have you noticed that a few days before the sale they mark up the prices on the back of the ticket in pencil? They put an letters in front to fool people, but if it says AO6 - then it will be £6. Sorry if I am telling you something that you already new!

    Sorry if this has already been posted before. Just a quick question, can you place more than one order during your vip slot or is it one order only? Always panic as there are a couple of things I really want and would rather pay 2 lots of postage than risking losing them whilst adding extra items!
