    I've been thinking back to what the agent told me about my orders when I rang. She said that the way I could find out whether I was going to get my item was to see if it was still in stock. Almost nothing that I have ordered is now in stock. I hope she didn't mean that if my items haven't yet been dispatched and they are no longer in stock, that I won't get them?! :(
  • Had an email today to say my third order has been dispatched already!
    (whereas the other, which were placed earlier, haven't!)...bizarre!

    did you pay extra for speedy delivery or just go for the standard delivery?

    I must admit I don't follow her logic :huh: Surely if it was in stock when you ordered it, you should get it and it is showing out of stock now as they have sold all the items of it they had. Not sure that I am making much sense there either! :o

    I placed an order at just gone 12am on Christmas morning, not long after the sale went 'live' and that order is showing an estimated delivery date of 31st December - 10th of January :huh: with all but one item now showing as being out of stock when checking the site. Yet they were in stock earlier this morning when I checked my status as I could still change my order.

    I'm not holding out much hope to receiving my order.

    In the Summer sale I did not get ANY item I ordered even though they were in stock when I placed the order and paid for them.
    M&S on-line are totally useless as this thread by Setmefree2 from 28 November shows:

    Be Careful with Shopping at....
    Believe it or not I have been crying:eek: - with total frustration. On the 19th Nov I spent hours doing a large amout of my christmas shopping online at
    M & S. 17 items total £153 (including £10 discount on order and free postage :money:This is MSE afterall).I received one item a few days later. Waited in for 10 DAYS - order never arrived. E mailed them this morning and they said they had STOCK ISSUES and couldn't meet the order and cancelled the lot. GUTTED. I thought I'd done the bulk of my shopping and now I havn't and I'm REALLLLLLLLLLLLLy disappointed and guess waht they offered me as compensation. £15 off my next order - THEY WISH - why would I order from them again.:confused:_pale_:huh::angry:

    Really sorry - I can't do the link!
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    I really wish they would update their website like Amazon have to show how many items they have in stock. How difficult can it be to have real time stock allocation when so many other companies do it?

    I placed four orders yesterday morning & all have not changed status :(
  • All my orders are showing as Items to be despatched soon:
    Delivery estimate: 31 Dec 2007 - 3 Jan 2008
    Does that mean I'm getting my stuff? Placed my orders at 1:30am on Christmas Day.
    In a rut? Can't get out? Don't know why?
    It's time to make that change.
