    I make a list of all the item numbers and sizes, then go into 'quickshop' when the slot starts and get someone to call out the numbers to me while I quickly type them in.
    These days you can usually carry on shopping so I browse after my main order has gone in. You can also get sale orders delivered to store now, so it doesn't matter how many orders you put in (no more asking CS to combine postage, but there is the embarrassment of carrying the parcels through the store :) )

    wow the last time I had a vip slot several years ago this thread was 100s of pages long now it only 3. Guess a lot of people now shop elsewhere like me.
    Wins so far this year: Mum to be bath set, follow me Domino Dog, Vital baby feeding set, Spiderman goody bag, free pack of Kiplings cakes, £15 love to shop voucher, HTC Desire, Olive oil cooking spray, Original Source Strawberry Shower Gel, Garnier skin care hamper, Marc Jacobs fragrance.

    ^ I remember that too emweaver, maybe the fascination with the Next sale is dying?!
  • Can someone confirm whether multiple orders can be placed? My slot is tomorrow so I'm just preparing in advance.

    I spent less than ever before at this sale. Chuffed with my Jack Wolfskin coat though - bargain!

    Yes you can. I always phone and get the delivery charge refunded as they often suspend store delivery during the sale.

    Although, with the amount I order (i.e. LOTS!!) I prefer store delivery during the sale as it means my door/my neighbours door isn't constantly getting chapped with deliveries.


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    I had a second slot as I missed logging in for the first one they offered me. I got absolutely everything apart from kids PJs and socks. There's still loads left too even very cheap Whistles things. It doesn't come up unless you put Whistles in the search box. Handbag for £19 and a jumper for £29 instead of over £200 for the pair.
  • I was surprised at how much I got too, thought there would be lots more out of stock. I logged in at just after 6pm too and the Superdry jacket I ordered was still in stock... I spent far too much this time, so much stuff!!

    Pleased with my bargains! Got a north face jacket reduced from £185 to £65, some Raybans, converse for me and my daughter and some leggings for her too.

  • Well jealous :o my slot , or at least my OHs, (I didn't get one) is 10pm.

    If I get the 4 things I have bought one of my sons, I will be well chuffed. If I am fortunate to get a wee bit more, I will be over the moon:D

    Watching things going out of stock before my eyes is not a good way to spend the night :(
