    The last few VIP slots I have had, I couldn't get anything at all I wanted, yet I checked a couple of weeks later and it was all in stock with free delivery to store, so don't be disheartened guys :)

    Same here! A couple of weeks after the Xmas 2012 sale I managed to get some perfume and toiletries gift sets, and a nice watch, none of which were in stock when I got my VIP slot.

    PS I am another one who has a £5000 credit limit and meets all the criteria who is still waiting for a slot this time. :(

    Joining the still waiting queue. Slots now won't be up to much but at least you'll get an idea of the available items at sale price, which helps a do I go in-store decision I guess.
    I used to get first slot for summer and winter sales but now only seem to get for mid season. Also meet all the blurb, but due to the size their customer base it would be unfair to expect too much. Hopefully we all get a turn st some point.

    Has anyone been offered a first slot time later than 5pm on Wednesday? It just seems that everyone who has got a slot so far have all been offered the earliest slot.

    Seems we are all still waiting so there is a bit of hope for a half decent slot...

    You get to pick your time slot from a list if several diff ones so you could pick later than 5pm but no one is going to really lol

    Sorry, what I meant was if you are not in the first batch of slots, the earliest slot you may be offered could be Wednesday 7.30pm for example. I was wondering if anyone had been offered a slot in the second batch.

    . . .interesting!! My credit limit is 5k to! Wonder if that has anything to do with it?

    I agree with others - almost everything comes back in stock a week or so after the sale starts with free store collection. When you get a later slot so much has already gone and it is removed from the sale pages so you don't get to see many items in the first place.

    FYI - these are the current stock levels (which will fluctuate a little today, drop on wednesday when couriers do their shop - before 5pm, then drop SIGNIFICANTLY as soon as it hits 5pm!)
