Please be aware that when you order on-line in the sale,that all your orders are not collated until actual dispatch,thus saying that they can be in the warehouse for up to 4 weeks after youve ordered.This is normal practice for them to do this.It does leave you with sometimes only a fraction of the things you have ordered.(as i have been done 3 times by this).
There is a way round it,it just means that your paying extra for delivery.If you choose the express delivery(i think its called that),then you will get charged more,but you will almost be gauranteed your things.They will immediatly start to process your order.
This happened to me,in the last sale as i spend about £30,and opted for normal delivery.Every few days they would take things off my order till i had just 3 things left from 18 items ordered.All where in stock when ordered in the first place.
I rang sales and complained that the 3 items i had bought had in fact come to less than the delivery charge:rolleyes: .He was very good and after some wrangling i got free delivery,plus £10 added to on-line account.This enabling me to opt for speedy delivery,plus £5 off nxt shop.
He did explain that it is customary to only collect order from wharehouse on actual dispatch,and as they havnt take any payment up to this it can leave you with very little in the end.So all those people who get express delivery,are gonna get their things and all the others have to wait till all the stores have finished stocking up to see if there is anything left!!.
Good luck to all who can find some bargins,i have learnt my lesson,i was told of this in a thread,in the last sales,but i didnt adhear.You have been warned.;) .
And all those of you who are wondering why it took me 3 goes to work this out,well i first thought it was a one off,2nd time,i really thought id been so unlucky,ive never been a 3 times a lady,so i complained.Wont be going down that route again.0 -
