  • Guys, don't get your hopes too high on 'that' item.As a staff member at the Directory I got to place my order today, all closely monitored so we don't order too much. Alot of it is sold out already.
  • When will staff stop ordering? :confused:

  • I've just written my list out for tomorrow. I was shocked that it came to nearly 400 at sale prices - ouch!!!!:eek: It will kit my three children out for a while though so well worth it IMHO.
    Beeb - is there a limit to how many items we can order in our VIP slots?

    Thanks for that.
    Have just counted my list and it comes to 67 !!!!! I'm sure half of them won't be in stock by the time I get through them all anyway - especially if the quickshop isn't working.:o

    I'm silly enough to order things at full price, there are a few bits I wanted sale price or not but without a VIP slot it's highly unlikely I'll get them in the sale. So I've ordered them, then if they're available I'll re-order and return the full price ones.
  • No limit to how much you order, but returns percentage may affect future c/limits, and keep within the credit limit, or check what credit we can offer you to avoid delay and possible cancellation of your whole sale order.and yes, we have been busy processing full price orders just before the sale, last minute xmas shopping.By the way, please be polite if you'll be phoning your sale order through and you dont get all your items. We're just doing our jobs, and ordering 100s of items with a customer does not get easier for us as the day goes on, especially when most of the stock is gone and customers are not happy.In case you're wondering if i have the code... i'ts... not divulged to us until necessary.
