Next SALE starts Monday 27th! Starts 3pm online xmas eve

clarabella23

Nope. Last year was the only year they've ever done Boxing Day- always the 27th. Last year the 27th fell on a sunday, so they told us that due to the volume of customers that come through the store on sale day, we would have to open Boxing day, as we wouldn't be able to accomodate everyone during Sunday trading hours. They promised it would be a one off, but realised after what a money-spinner the one extra day of trading was. Will prob start from next year.

gghh

Oh I see. Yes I remember going last year on Boxing Day. didn't realise it was the first time!!
I work in retail and up until about 3 years ago we were closed on Boxing Day but not anymore

mmmkbb

Does anyone know if there's a way to access the normal Next website at the moment please?
My son was given some Ben 10 pj's but they are too small and I want to find out if they are in the sale now or not but searching ben 10 only comes up with two results, so either the pj's were in the sale and have sold out or they weren't in the sale at all but I can't access any full price items at the moment!
If they are in the sale, I'm going to have to go in early tomorrow to try and get him the right size as he's loves them!!

Hi if they were the 2 pack of Ben 10 Pyjamas 721-161-GC0 - yes they were in the sale for £9.50 - ordered some for my nephew during the VIP sale. HTH xx:)

I went this morning and managed to grab loads of good stuff for the kids but as always never anything for me! Did manage to get a spice rack reduced from £40 to £10. so well pleased.

I agree with people regarding a lot of items being old as i have seen a few things from a few seasons ago being added to the floor but if you have kids well worth it especially jeans and things that dont go out of fashion.

I went to a larger store this morning but will be going tomorrow to a smaller one as they all seem to have different things and remember they keep stocking up with other stuff throughout the day and then there are always the returns as people just buy anything on the first day and then returns loads.

Happy Bargain Hunting.

Noticed a few people asking about buying, returning, and buying back. They generally WON'T let you do this- very extremely rare. They will tell you the return needs to be 'processed', and it will take 24 hrs. This isn't true, they generally have someone sitting the fitting rooms marking returns down, hanging and putting it out, but you will have to go find it yourself. However, if you find the same thing reduced out on the shopfloor, there is nothing stopping you exchanging yours and getting half your money back.

Only Next toys which they stocked in the run up to xmas, not the branded ones they sell on the website. It might be worth taking a couple of codes after xmas though and seeing if they are available- Next stores have there own warehouse as well as access to the Directory websites, so some bits which weren't available may possibly be. Prob not much though! The directory warehouse is where most stuff comes from.

I won't be going - purely because i hate next - nothing fits me - i'm tall with long arms/legs and just find their sizing really odd. Good luck to everyone going and hope those of you camping out overnight don't get too cold.

The reason you may see older stock coming out is that whatever is left over from various midseason sales gets offsited, and sent back for the big xmas and summer sales. It normally doesn't get processed for a couple of days into the sale, but keep an eye out as there are some proper bargains to be had.

Thanks, it was a single pack. The code on the gift reciept is 732 861 061 if anyone else can help?
I don't have a problem exchanging them for different, full price pj's as I have the gift receipt so would get the full price anyway but my son will need to be prepared in advance if he has to choose different ones as he loves Ben 10!!!
