    1 x pink two-tone long-sleeved top (fitted under bust - haven't tried it on yet but poss too small just yet)
    1 x black skirt (A-line, long, with embroidery on front - haven't tried it on yet but poss too small just yet)
    1 x red & white tunic top with white belt (huge, will easy fit)
    1 x green wraparound skirt (not tried on yet, but it'll fit fine as it's a wraparound style) - same as Ebay item 110587563295
    1 x black mid-calf genie pants (they fit fine, but I'm not sure I like them?)
    1 x notebook (will not use this myself so will add it to my "present box" and will probably chuck it in an Xmas hamper or something

    [FONT=&quot]Thank you for your email. I can confirm that we have received your order and it was sent down to our warehouse, unfortunately the goody bags were extremely popular and we were unable to fulfill all of the orders the day yours was placed so it is currently on hold. We are due to have another batch distributed this week and your order is on hold until sizes 16 and 18 are available, this should be over the next week or so. [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Please let me know if you would prefer a refund, we apologise for any inconvenience.

    [FONT=&quot]So hopefully i will recieve them, just not sure now if they will be sending two lots of the size 16, as this email contradicts the letter completely?!?![/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Think I may have to ring them, but am thinking it may be better if I just keep my fingers crossed, as others have just had them refunded and I would rather get them![/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Well done to all the lucky ones who have recieved theirs :)

    Ooh well done, I emailed them this morning, but no reply as yet. Maybe they've been inundated with emails now too :)
  • Mine arrived today! I am very pleased (although that's if it fits as I haven't tried any on yet - am at work)...obviously now being made up of much older stock than some of the earlier posts. I would have loved a summer dress but what i got will work for winter so that's fine.
    My bag contained:
    1 x brown long wraparound skirt with pinstripes
    1 x long beige linen skirt with embroidery around the bottom
    1 x black baggy long-sleeved cotton top
    1 x black roll neck cotton top and another the same but a gorgeous deep scarlet colour
    1 x black t-shirt with embroidered bow tie and waistcoat on it...it made me laugh to start with but if it fits, i think it will be my favourite item!! Should look cool with skinny jeans!

    So 6 things in total and none of them a disaster (if they fit!)! Would definitely buy another later in the season in the hope of different stuff.
    I am a happy Goonlord!

    I ordered a 14. (Nice lady at customer services made sure I got one yesterday after badgering them endlessly!). I was unfortunate to miss out a couple of weeks ago - at the same time i ordered 2 full price tops and a full price pair of trousers but only kept 1 of the tops as the trousers were perfect around the waist but massive everywhere else and the other top emphasised my chest which I prefer not to do!!
    Now really tempted to buy some of the summer reduced stuff - i was holding off incase i got any in my goody bag. I really love People Tree stuff but have always been put off by it being mail order (even though I really want to shop more fair trade and am happy to pay the prices). Sorry...rambling...you only asked me what size!!

    I decided to return my bag in the end because I was only keen on 2 out of the 5 items, but after 12 days my recorded delivery royal mail tracker thing is still saying "is being progressed through our network for delivery".

    Has anyone else here returned one? How long did it take for it to reach People Tree, and how long until the money was refunded?

    Thanks in advance. :)

    I returned mine for an exchange and it seemed to take them absolutely ages to turn it around. The Royal Mail Tracker was a waste of time as it never showed as having been received. I got concerned after a week and emailed them and they replied saying they'd let me know when they got it - which they did. I think it was about 10 or 11 days after I posted it. Returns go to a 'warehouse' and then get sent up in batches every so often. So don't worry, whilst customer service seems to be good, they're just slow - which puts me off ordering from them again really :(
