depends on what sizes you are looking for - certain ones go quicker. also if you have certain items in minds its best to get their quicker. i always say ill go early but its usually bout 10 by the timne i manage to go but i still manage to find stuff. altohugh to be honest its just things

No trouble to explain at all! We tend to do the majority of our clothes shopping from Next twice a year for work/casual and then only pick up odd items throughout the year, so big spend in the sale, but it kits us out for 6-12 months!

well, if I am ordering a work suit for my husband or myself, I order two jacket sizes and two trouser sizes because the cut/fit is not consistent from design to design so that's 4 items to perhaps buy 2 or none at all if it isn't nice when it comes (I have had some beautifully cut and tailored next suits turn up and some that look like rubbish on a peg!). Then in the sale, although you order those 4 items, most often or not one or two doesn't turn up as it is really out of stock, then you are stuck with trousers or jacket that do fit but no matching item...so the whole "set" goes back! Plus, if you are looking for 3-4 work suits, then you need probably to try on 6-8 to find them...so already thats 4x8 x 2 of us = 64 items at least!

Plus, like the last poster, I may order 3 coats to see which one I like best (although if I love 2 out of 3, I might stretch to buying them both so it does work in Next's favour!!).

With women's tops and jumpers, I find it so hit and miss whether they look nice or not, something that looks great in the catalogue may look horrible in real life or on me, and the opposite can be true too - I have had some real suprises where I've added a top into my order on a last minute whim and then loved it when its arrived and it soon is one of my favourite items of clothing. Tend to get these in two sizes too as never sure which is too tight/too baggy.

If their sizing and cut and quality of material was a little more consistent then I would perhaps not need to order so much! However, it does mean that when it goes back (and this is usually within 1 or 2 days of me getting it, so the 28th or 29th of dec), someone else has the chance to get it in the sale!!

Read you post like me I order a couple of sizes. But did you know NEXT catelogue can't sell on returns to customers. The shops can but the directory can't!!!

How come the Next directory can't send out returns to other customers??? I've had badly folded stuff that smells of perfume (and so has obviously been tried on by someone before) towardss teh end of the sale...

i know! i find with other catalogues too some items of clothing smell really nasty and some even "fishy"

It's got a banner on their homepage saying online sales will start at 8am. So i doubt you'll be able to use it before then.
