    not straight away - normally someone finds a way in, so we all shop quick before it's public knowledge

    I'm guessing 9.15 pm start if it's going to happen

    if you have more than one email account at M&S do a test run now to see if any codes are stored - I have free del on one and free del plus 10% on another.

    there's a few odd and sods left over from last sale showing up on offer of the day . co . uk - nothing new but might be worth putting in basket if you are hoping to get sale items delivered also to make p&p worth while

    plus a few odd books

    Any codes or departments that have free delivery. I have a £10 gift card but del charge will take a chunk of that.

    My friend works at M and S. Heard really bad stuff- they are stingy about sale stock, and won't let employees buy any of it themselves. I used to like M and S, but the times I have been in more recent years, I have had really bad experiences. And none of the staff ever seem happy either.

    So very true. M&S have lost it altogether (particularly online). Better alternatives for clothes these days (quality of M&S is nothing special, and far outweighed by the prices).

    For food, Waitrose is streaks ahead - particularly on customer service, where they still seem to take pride in working for John Lewis. M&S staff don't seem to bother any more.

    i work at M&S and can confirm that about 90% staff are unhappy. we recently did a staff survey... lets just say a few views were expressed. cant believe the amount we have lost at our store because people just cannot be bothered... and they havent been replaced! M&S are all about profits these days and are trying to get by on as few staff as possible whilst deluded themselves that we are offering such great service :rotfl:
