Youll be very lucky to get a slot as a new customer, normally you have to have been with them a while and spent on the last seasons catologue, i had an account 4 years before we stsrted getting vip slots.

Not sure this is entirely true. The first time I ordered from Next Directory I received a slot in the VIP summer sale I didnt even know what it was so did not use it.

maybe the sale will start earlier this year because of the snow

I thought there was already a link about people getting slots? Because I read it and went on to see if I had one, which I didn't.

I'm not going to bother this year.

Last year I ordered about 12 items in the VIP sale online at ridiculous o'clock in the morning. The items then started arriving piecemeal in deliveries of 1 or 2 items for a number of weeks. I was waiting for ages for aged for a pair of suit trousers to match a jacket that had arrived a few weeks earlier (same order!), then I got the email saying they were out of stock. By then it was too late to return the jacket. GRRRRR. A number of other items were also cancelled. The last item was cancelled in March!

This year I will fight the crowds - if it's in my hands in the shop then at least I know I will get it!

The same thing happened to me, i just went instore to return the item and told them that i was waiting for the matching jacket which never arrived, i showed them the paperwork and they returned the trousers. Worth a try if this happens again.

You should have called them to explain and they would have accepted a late return.
It has happened to me before with 1 part of a set not arriving and they let me return it late.

Are you thinking of the one that was on here the other day where someone had posted (somewhere!! can't find the thread!!) about the VIP slots - it was a box showing on your account which you could click on and 'register' your interest in becoming a VIP if you matched the criteria..

Last year and the year before it was Dec 20th the VIP slots were issued!

the criteria for a VIP slot are:

To be selected for an invitation you must:

• have a Next flexible credit account with at least £300 credit available.
• have ordered from the Next Directory this year.
• agree to have a copy of the Next Directory.
• allow Next to send VIP Sale details to your email address.

You're supposed to have held an account for x amount of time & have a certain amount of credit left on your account, but I've never got a slot. Not once. :mad:
