    I was really disappointed with the Next sale when I called in to my local store on Saturday. It had been advertised up to 50% off starting around 6am. I got there for dinner time and there were no decent sale items at all in my size and the shelves were completely bare it the home department; the reason I went for a wedding gift grr! Just when I thought visiting a store was better than shopping online.

    You need to be up early to catch a Next sale! the person at the front of the queue at my local Next had been there since 2.30 a.m. - Doors opened at 4.45 and by 6 a.m. all the best items had gone.
    You missed it by about 12 hours...

    I could never understand what all the fuss was about with Next sales, because like you, I used to trot in at a sensible time and all I could see was utter rubbish or bare shelves......then, like all the other mad posters on here, we discovered the 5am start! Worth the early start, a genuine, really genuine sale but practically all the good stuff goes within the first hour - the best bargains are grabbed in the first 5 minutes! That's why by lunchtime there's nothing left. Start preparing for boxing day!

    Unlike other shops and sales, EVERYTHING goes on sale for half price or less. Even the sofas and big items of furniture

    definatley worth going early if you're after clothes to last a while, the quality isnt as good as it used to be in my opinion but at that price its better than supermarket clothes which are the same price

    I ordered on Wednesday at 8pm, got an email yesterdays saying its on its way but it seems to be stuck on....Order Processed - not yet Despatched. Anyone else getting that, I thought it would be out for delivery by now??

    I had three parcels showing as processed and they were all delivered today. I never got to the despatched or with courier stage! Really pleased - every single thing I ordered arrived today - looks like Christmas here with all the bags etc :j

    Guess I'm lucky with my online clothes orders then :)

    I have had all but 4 items delivered. The ones that are left say delivery on the 8th of August. My house looks like a next warehouse, lol :D
