Doubt there will be anything decent left for that but I think its usually 3 weeks after 70% day.

Yep I agree, having consulted the spreadsheet, it's generally 3 weeks (apart from 2017, which was the year it moved to Fridays when it was only a week and a half).

I like the 90% sale, much more hit and miss. Sometimes there's nothing, sometimes there's hundreds of Zoella advent calendars But I very much doubt there'll be anything on that scale this year :rotfl:

Agreed, I got some decent bits last year on 90% day, from what I remember a Disney 12 Christmas calendar, Soul Cal sets consisting of a cosmetic bag shower gel and Fragrance, Note Book body spray and eye mask set, Yardley shower gel set. I remember there being absolutely tons of the Kendall and Kylie sets last year too, wow to think they probably got destroyed as even at 90% off they didn't seem to be shifting them.

Mine seems to be mainly tween stuff left now. Mostly just tat. Oh and those jars of dry salt scrubs.

Wasn't able to go n the Friday unless I persuaded my 94 year old mother plus wheelchair. Not fair to her or the other shoppers. So I went on Saturday. First Enfield not as much left as last year. No yardley and usually quite a bit. Got some microwave cuddly teddies. Some tote slippers men's and women's warm slipper socks s&g soap on a rope. Lynx set. Then went to Oxford street. A chocolate perfumed candle some more socks and lynx at the Marble Arch branch then at the Bond Street branch. Several more soap and glory soap on a rope. A little gift for those who are cutting back on plastic use. Some crackers with body wash and cream in. Very pretty. Several Hagrid the owl hand creams. Very cute. A notebook. Soap and glory hand wash and hand cream. Monsoon photo frame and key ring. Resisted a fudge advent calendar as I thought that at £3 ish it was still expensive. Would have loved a Morris and co advent calendar but did get a cath kidston one in the 50% sale using my points. Don't think that there will be much in the 90% sale. Last year I think it was Feb 22nd half term week.

When did it start that you can’t return 70% stuff??

I had a couple of bits last year I tired to return and was refused because they'd been at 70% off.
I also heard the checkout staff telling customers this year 'you do know these (items in 70% sale) are non refundable don't you'.

Didn't know there were no returns but it makes sense. Might stop people who buy loads of stuff change their minds and return it.

There are no official rules stopping returns of 70% stuff, call the customer service number to check before hand if you are returning stuff and you think there will be an issue. If you ask they will give a reference number to give to the manager you are arguing with, tell them to ring and check.

Strangely there is also nothing to stop you returning something that is now in the 70% sale that you bought at 50% and then immediately rebuy it at 70% off.

^^This may be fanciful thinking, eg M&S is very clear that anything with a price of "9" at the end is non-refundable.

It wouldn't surprise me if the EPOS is programmed with this prompt for the staff. Otherwise staff time ends up being taken up with this instead of things that shore up the bottom line.
