    They sent a letter listing all the items ordered, with the date ordered & item number, and they all just had 'cancelled' next to them. They didn't state that it was because I'd 'cheated' but I've never had that happen before so I assumed it was because of that. I was able to re-order some of them when the sale officially started, so they couldn't have been out of stock.

    So they didn't send you an email stating that your order had been cancelled? Did you not query why none of your items had been delivered before you got the letter or was the letter received on the same day your order was due?
    Sorry for questions but I need to know!! My order is due tomorrow - if it doesn't arrive in the morning I will be on the phone straight away asking where it is!!

    a little off topic but how annoying is it when you order some things a week or 2 ago to find them in the sale at half price:mad: i got my daughter some sandals for a party my husband some cufflinks and something for my sons nursery and all are in the sale and have been used so i cant reorder and take back.

    Ggggrrrrrrrr!!!!!

    I've done that before too - actually in store, and I took the things back during the sale to complain. They refunded me the full price, then resold them back at half price, but I think that just depends on the managers discretion.
    Women marry men hoping they will change, men marry women hoping they won't! Inevitably they will both be disappointed.
