    As I have said before last sale I spent 45 minutes on bus to collect order from store only to find out when there that they had cancelled the whole lot without even telling me . When I complained told donnt take any notice of stock numbers on net as they are not true. Like you all why do I bother, in this day and age you would think they could could update their system they make enough profit from us after all.

    I normally get a dispatch notice email? Did they send you that and then there was nothing in store?

    From memory (which is failing nowadays!) I think they do the "further reductions" the following week.

    hi all,
    just had one entire order cancelled because its oos. i'm waiting for the same or similar to happen to my other £190 order.

    i'm not massively bothered because i knew from reading on here its a complete lottery, but does anyone know whether it's worth complaining? i.e. if i'm likely to receive anything more substantial that a "we're very sorry...." - some kind of voucher would be just tickety boo :cool:

    Just got an email that my items have been despatch to store for collection. All items I ordered in it.

    Can they still change it now?

    Unless someone steals your package from the van, methinks you will get your order :p

    You'll probably get an apology with a Big Fib about them sorting it, and a small e-voucher for a future order, which, if you value your sanity, you won't place.
    I got foolishly excited this time when something went OOS while I was ordering, and thought this time (after complete disasters in the past) it might just work. But my order is once again just sitting there in my account with a delivery date moved from Monday to 30th, so I can whistle for yet another order from them.
    I'm not going to bother with them in future. It's just not worth the hassle.
  • Someone I work with told me that the sale started yesterday. apart form the hassle of trying to find somewhere to park, I really think you are better off going to the shop. I got a couple of very good bargains. A dress reduced from £49.99 to £15 and shorts reduced from £25 to £9. Though I would never pay £25 for shorts.
