M&S beauty advent calendar

Oh what, this is just my luck! Would it be super cheeky or me to return my orders and rebuy?! I spent nearly £140, so it's a fair amount!

I ordered the calendar online with a couple of other beauty bits that I routinely buy anyway. Placed the order around 9am on 10 November (the day the calendar was released) - I'm struggling to get to the shops at present due to a mobility issue so was pleased that the order was accepted.

Have now had the despatch confirmation - the qualifying spend bits are on their way, but the calendar is "awaiting despatch" - I don't have a good feeling about this!

Will be really cross if the calendar order is cancelled!

The same has happened to me, my order is dispatched - minus advent calendar:undecided.... There seem to be so many in the shops I would have hoped there would be no problems with mailing them out... Fingers Crossed!

Same here, I went onto chat today and they said that it is estimated to be despatched tomorrow.

There is a 20% friends and family code on the codes board and it specifically excludes the Advent Calendar so it looks like they may exclude it when they do the 20% off weekend?

Thanks for that update Sarah - it's reassuring, so fingers crossed!

Thanks Sarah, either way I'm happy. Have practically finished my Christmas shopping and have myself a December treat :rotfl:

Going to wrap them this weekend and write my cards and then breathe a sigh of relier and look forward to December 1st so I can start my M&S Beauty Advent calendar and M&S chocolate pyramid Advent Calendar

True to their word, just had the despatched email this morning.

Just a bit of info for those awaiting their orders. I ordered the calendar, and various things from the 50% off beauty. One parcel arrived yesterday, two arrived today. M&S appears to be using 3 couriers - DPD delivered the calendar, UPS some of the beauty stuff and Royal Mail the rest. DPD seem to be the best for tracking - you get an email and if you click 'track my order' on the day it's to be delivered, you can get details of when it will be delivered down to a 15 min window. UPS send an email with a 1 hour window and Royal Mail - I got an email but no time. I've had to hide the calendar from me - it's huge and looks so tempting...
