    First time I've been to the first day of the Matalan sale and haven't had to queue half way around the shop to pay.
    Was there anything worth having?

    I don't know about London but I was in the dewsbury store at 7am today and I don't know why I bothered!

    Got my order today. Very well packed with oodles of bubble wrap. Got a separate text for each box making up the order. But some of the items missing - they sent me nearly all of the plastic storage boxes I ordered but omitted to include most of the lids!! :eek::eek:

    Hopefully Matalan CS will sort it out.

    Still some great bargains, thanks OP. :)

    Double check the description-some of the boxes i was looking at had lids in the photo but the reviews said they didnt have lids.

    Thanks, unfortunately now gone from the website as OOS. Looked at the cached descriptions but no reviews at all.

    Doesn't make sense though. We are getting ready to move so I ordered 5 red boxes and 10 blue boxes. They have sent me 14 boxes and 6 lids! The cached description for the red boxes specifically mentions a lid. The cached description for the blue boxes doesn't mention a lid, but there is a lid in the photo and the description refers to the 'bright red and blue colours' - so this implies there is a lid.

    CS tried to help when I rang, but as OOS they can only refund & no stock in local store. Ah well, at least I have some complete boxes at a great price!
