Oodies

So I had an updated email of doom, cancel by Sunday or wait until January, with the promise of a discount code next year.

I have a kmart one from Amazon. I love it - it’s thick and huge and in fact this winter has so far been too mild for me to wear it often. It’s currently there for £19.99. What I really love is that it covers me to my ankles -
my legs have always been the bit of me that gets coldest. Last year I succumbed to marketing and bought a kuddly for much more money and I didn’t like it nearly so much; it was too wide and got in the way when cooking etc, and too short so my knees and legs got cold. Not a patch on the kmart one. I ended up giving it away.

I bought one a couple of years ago and it is the best winter clothing item I own. So unattractive but so warm and thick.

Don't know what is going on with orders this year but they are worth it if you get your order.

I have seen some in Dunelm and some in M&S that are better than the last official Oodie I bought. (but nothing compares to the first one from couple of years ago)

There are ones in Matalan that are very similar quality.

I've been looking for one for my step dad but gave up on the whole idea in the end.

I ordered from them last year, took three weeks to arrive. (A week after Christmas)

It's been on the news about the company not having enough product that they have stopped taking orders.
There is some great " fake" ones.. although I've had my real one two years.. but Dunhelm have the fake ones in store and are fabulous

Look up the Siena ones on Amazon cheaper and my kids have been happy with them. I have the extra long version which goes to my ankles (5f 2)and is so warm.

i ordered an oodie on the 6th December, got an email on the 8th to say it had been shipped. Read stories on here about slowness and started to panic it wouldn’t arrive, the tracker wouldn’t open, tried emailing oodie who said it’s taking 14 days to reply to emails, figured there’s not much I can do except hope and wait however the oodie was delivered today!

Me too - I bought Lushforest "oodis" from Amazon last November both in the knee length and the ankle length. The ones described as "shearling" lined are very warm indeed - extremely useful when my heating failed then but also now when I can reduce when the central heating is on. 🌹

I think there have been several threads with the same situation. There is a known issue with delivery delays, especially with the higher volume of sales they must have generated with the November sales.

We have Oodies and also other alternatives. My girls prefer their Oodies, thicker and softer. I only have an Amazon version, which is longer and a single layer but I love it.

Unfortunately my order this year has been caught in the delays and I ordered their Oodie towels - not something I have seen replicated elsewhere, yet!

Celtic,
I wondered about that too.
I bought two, and apart from a couple of long threads which had been left untrimmed and were peeping out of the front pocket, they were in great, as new condition and definitely authentic. DM bought genuine article for a couple of DGC last year and these look and feel just the same. The labels have been cut, but I can still see enough of the stitching on the initial 'O' and the final 'e' to compare, and they're definitely real.

IME Oodies bought from other places are thicker, better quality and ultimately wash a lot better than the ‘official’ ones. I found the one I bought last year to be quite disappointing if I’m honest.
Paying for the name.

I ordered oodie's for me and DD last year but long before Xmas and they came really quickly so not sure how they've got shit

Why is everyone not getting one from other shops? Yes they may not be that brand but does the same job.....

There are several threads atm full of people - me included- who are waiting in vain for Oodies.

If yours was ordered in November with no movement via tracking, they may have lost it. That’s what happened to my order, but I only found out after someone from the Oodie responded to my review on Trustpilot- all my emails to customer service had been ignored.

They are a dreadful company.

I bought one couple of years ago. its lovely. I bought another one in early November and it's awful in comparison to the original.

I'm shocked they're from the same company using the same description.

They're very expensive for what they are. If you search sherpa oversized hoodie on amazon, you will find virtually the same thing, and it'll be with you tomorrow with prime or in a couple of days without prime. You'll also pay around 60% less.

We all have ‘oodies’ from Amazon that are super warm, have lasted all year with no issues, a fraction of the price and prime delivery.

Mine took two weeks.

It's thinner than the one I bought two years ago though. It's still amazingly warm, and my old one made me too hot if anything, so I don't mind so much. There is certainly a noticeable difference though.

I ordered a Silentnight dupe when they were on offer (£15 for an adult one). It arrived promptly and is fab.

Mine arrived pretty quick this year. Last year I ordered two and when I complained about them not arriving, a couple of days later four Oodies arrived. Theyd sent my order twice, tyvm 😉

I’m waiting for 4 oodies which were ordered mid November. They’re supposed to be Christmas presents. I emailed but it’s 12 working days before you can expect a response

@Gt86 I'm still waiting for an oddie order from mid Nov... dispatch / warehouse issues I was told who knows. Need to chase again

My sale oodies took two weeks to arrive.

Before ordering a replacement from somewhere else beware that sale reductions may be non-returnable. Mine was for a birthday present and unfortunately I did give it to them late.

I looked at those but wasn't sure if they were real..
