    I don't believe things were ever in stock if they are cancelling orders already. I ordered a suitcase which is still showing in stock. Will be fuming if it gets cancelled.

    thats a bit pants if they are sending cancellations! surely they have a stock system which operates, erm, based on how much stock they have.
    have my fingers crossed for my order but not hopeful!

    Sorry to disappoint you, but they don't have a good stock system. As many of us on these boards can tell you, it's just a matter of luck as to whether you actually get anything you've ordered, even if you ordered as soon as the sale went live.

    I tend to assume that I won't get any of what I've ordered, until it actually arrives. That way, I won't be too disappointed. I've had so many orders cancelled and not received a thing, I almost don't know why I bother! But then there's the odd occasion when I get a great bargain and it turns up! Sadly, they are the exception. On the whole I tend to get more cancelled orders than delivered.

    I ought to have learnt my lessons from previous M&S sales when left with 1 or 2 smaller items from a big order. Have the usual dispute over them charging full delivery price for a couple of rolls of wrapping paper!
  • I know this is a bit premature but how long before they make further reductions instore? as I don't think I wanna go in on day 1 (tomorrow)
    Whether we win or lose,
    that we played at all was a winning decision. :D
    2011 wins £12,292
    2012 wins ...
    Thank you to all who post on here!!!! :A

    I was about to ask this exact question! Any ideas anyone?

    I've had an e-mail today as well cancelling 1 item I ordered on Xmas Eve.

    Looks like a misprice just on the 4-5 years of this boys shirt- £1 instead of £9 or £10. No good for me but hope it is for someone!

  • I have bought all next years wrapping, tags and cards, baubles, underwear and a lovely tree. Thanks for the tip off. Fingers crossed I get it all.

    My mum ordered one tree and that has already been cancelled. :(

    Does anyone know if its possbile to add items to an order I made yesterday? It hasn't been dispatched yet and I really don't fancy paying another delivery fee for an extra item I've since spotted.
