    I am going to this one as I go away on Jan 5th so hoping to see a few things I have my eyes on being there.

    Will it be the same thing where tags have a number on them in pencil..therefore indicating they will be in the sale?

    We have upgraded from pencils to pens this year, but its the same system.
  • Hi

    Does anyone know when the VIP slots will start going out? Last VIP slot I got was last Xmas but can't recall when the invites went out!

    Thanks in advance xx
  • Last year I got the VIP slot email around a week before.
  • Does anyone know when the furniture in store will be going on sale? I've heard that it goes on sale prior to the official sale date but I would like to know if there is any way to know when this is happening.

    Thanks
  • I recall a thread a few years ago where it was possible to see which items were going to be in the sale by changing the last 3 digits of the catalogue code from say
    617-617-G54 to 617-617-X54
    does anyone else remember this? If so does it still work? And lastly what do you need to change them to?

    Thanks in advance

    I've just tried this on a few items. Some are definitely in the sale and some are definitely not. Changing the letter to X worked on all of them so it seems that they have changed the way it works.

    Ok a quick update of what is going into the sale. I wont answer anything specific but here is an approximation of what is going in.

    Anything xmas related or in xmas packaging (All Floors)
    80% of Womens Nightwear
    70% of Womens Knitwear
    40% of Womens Trousers
    40% of Mens Tshirts
    About 10 Mens Suits
    20 Mens Formal Shirts

    In regards to Kids, there is just to much to even list, overall i would guess about 60% of all kids clothes are going in

    Ill update as i know more.

    Like i have said before, the sale will be extended from its usual 2 weeks and stores have about 3X more items than usual. VIP slot deliveries to store are expected to be huge, so expect to queue for quite a while for your parcels.
