    Ordered in the early hours of the sale going live and I have today received all my order with nothing missing. :j I was surprised to get it today as there was no despatch email and on my orders it says my order will be despatched on the 30th July. :o

    I am pleased that some people on this thread have received everything they ordered but isn't it strange that some people get everything and others get nothing?! My order STILL hasn't budged in my account! I will be very disappointed if I don't get any of it because some of it was purchased to match the room I am currently decorating and it would be nice to know what I'm getting!

    As for the extra 30% off today at 8am... well I'm not really bothered about that since I've not received any of my other orders yet! How can M&S reduce stock further when they haven't even fulfilled previous orders yet? It's all getting a bit ridiculous!

    They could offer to give it away and I wouldn't bother ordering as they probably haven't got the stock in the first place!
  • LOL - nice one..

    I've just reordered a couple of things that haven't been sent from my FIRST order because they are half the price I paid for them now (and showing as in stock, lol)!!!

    Unfortunately 99% of what I ordered is no longer showing on the website.

    I don't think everything has gone down by a further 30%, not yet anyway...

    Well it's supposed to start at 8am so let's see if anything dramatic happens!

    It certainly does seem as if they have no idea how to run the online service.

    Until last week I've NEVER ordered from the sale as our M&S was one of the last to accept collections. So statistically, one order which failed is quite poor, especially as some of the stock is still showing available. I've noticed this isn't the first sale to fail many customers.

    I'm with Wizard, maybe someone could email a link to the bod who just might be interested. M&S must spend a king's ransom on their tacky celeb adverts, however, if you can't make a purchase then they should start focusing on reasons why. A quick scan of the last 2 pages shows that there are 5 complaints - M&S should be ashamed. In fact the general tone errs towards the negative, if you take away the enduring support of pwl.
