Next boxing day sale

Well guys its that time of year and Mr Font is here with a little bit of insider info.

I cant tell you too much at the minute but the sale system has gone live for all store. Staff are able to check the price of items so if you know anyone who works their ask them to check.

Item mark down this year will be in RED pen and not pencil as in previous sales. Again it is the number your looking for as this will be the price in the sale, the letter is just the colour of label to be used. Items will start to be marked down from Friday 20th December.

Their will be a lot of sale items going online in the new year. I cant go into detail about this as it has not been widely announced to stores yet, but will update one most stores know about it.

Finally those of you who buy items before the sale and return them to repurchase at the sale price will not be able to. Most items that are returned will be sent back to the warehouse for directory orders. (again this is related to the increase in online sale items) You will be told you cant repurchase them and head office will be able to track down staff that resell at the sale price and will initiate disciplinary action.

There is a huge amount of stuck going in the sale, a lot more than last years xmas sale, and more discounts seem to be over the 50% mark, so a lot of bargains to be had.

Finally i wont be able to check items for people this year. A new system was put in place a few months ago and everything can now be traced to individuals

    Spooky, I thought I'd come on here and see if anyone had any info about the sale. I know it starts early hours of Boxing Day in stores but if you manage to find out when it starts online, would be lovely to know. Thanks
  • Usually starts 8 am online.
  • Yep 8AM as always, just enough time to get home from the in store sale and spend more online
  • Do you know when the vip online starts at all?
  • Any knowledge on when the invites go out font? Xx
  • Not 100% sure when VIP slots are going out but im hearing toward the end of this week. Remember though that they are released in waves dependent on meeting specific criteria on your account.

    Also i still cant give all the details but their will be huge amount of stock going to on-line clearance in the new year due to a change in the way sale stock is allocated to stores and warehouses for directory customers.

  • Hi everyone,

    Just a quick update on what prices are like in this years sale. As always most of the clithes are 50% off but most of the gift and seasonal items are upto 75% off.

    for example this speaker brick is going from £35 to £12
