    A flash sale it clearly was, since the web site now makes no direct mention of a sale, although heavily discounted items are still to be found in individual sections. However, they didn't seem to have much stock available anyway, with only extreme sizes available in most things. The only choice seemed to be on those items I probably wouldn't be seen dead in anyway!
    So, as a headline attraction, it lasted less than a week on line. I wonder what they will be up to in store tomorrow...

    yeah, according to the website they sold more than 900 of one item in 10 seconds....

    methinks they will move all the unsold stock either to the outlets, or spread it around the country instore, but maybe at floor prices....

    very disappointing...was expecting to pick up a BH Luxury Modal Blend Self Stripe Polo shirt for a song....

    Mine was on the site as being despatched on 24th - it arrived yesterday lunchtime - all items that I ordered and all in the right sizes. Feeling rather lucky having read some of the posts!

    Thanks for the tip. I went into Liverpool, Church Street, yesterday. It was a very mixed selection, but I managed to get £68 of items for £17! (Using vouchers earned doing surveys.)

    All three items I ordered on the Wednesday evening arrived yesterday, all present and correct :) two pairs of shoes and a dress. Standard delivery. The website on Wednesday evening said 9 dresses left and 1 pair each of the shoes when I ordered. When it says only 1 left in stock, I am amazed when the item arrives!
