M&S sale is TOMMOROW

Comments

  • There will be more going into stores tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and maybe even Monday next week. So still chances to get bargains, but this will only be selected stores. There may even be some technology if you are lucky....but they do class some things as technology such as Ipod cases etc..... hope this helps.

    I have ordered an ipod case in every recent sale that M&S have had. Even when there appears to be more than 20 ipod cases in stock they ALWAYSremove/cancel it from my order. Needless to say I didn't bother this time.

    Do you work for M&S or another retailer by any chance?

    People are frustrated with M&S because you order things from the sale which are stated as being in-stock, only to find that a few days later they can't honour the order. Surely their stock system should be continually updated.

    I find it interesting to look at a poster's previous history. I think you'll find a telling pattern there.

    For some reason this happens to me with tea towels. i've never managed to get any yet, no matter what the stock shows. SA in store laughed last time and commented on it!

    It appears my order is not coming today because Home Delivery Network say my address does not exist, despite them delivering to me at least once a week! M&S were very apologetic, but that doesn't get my shoes here any quicker!

    I really really don't know why all retailers always just jump on a good deal on delivery without checking the reliability of this service.

    Most retailers who did change to HDN had to soon change again to either their original supplier or find a new one and got beaten badly because they lost lots of custom.

    I would expect it from some other retailers, but when M&S starts using HDN someone needs to be sucked. The only reason HDN is still in business is because they always find a company who is willing to sacrifice quality of service for the price...

    But M&S... really disapointed. :-(

    Still no dispatch email for me... but they say it will arrive by 31st Aug so they have to dispatch soon if they want to make it.

    Four out of my six orders have been despatched already, two are instore collection, two are home delivery. The other two are due instore by Monday but my friendly SA expects they'll be there by Sunday afternoon. Nothing has been cancelled yet.
