Next Sale VIP

[nicky2512]

Is anyone else having trouble with their vip sale slot? I’ve been on since 4.30 but it keeps freezing and won’t let me check out. About to give up but just wondering if anyone else is having problems?

I got £10 credit too.

Was a nice surprise as I'm always last to get offered a slot and so I didn't really get affected by the log on issue.

[nicky2512]

I got the credit too. I thought that was really nice of them.

£10 credit here but ended up getting nothing in the sale as by the time it let me in there was nothing left

@icedaisy I got an apology email last night, but no credit - bah! You are lucky! :)

I might not bother next time. Its great when you get a good deal, but everything is always out of stock.

I got more stuff than I expected. New slot was from 6.30 onwards but I didn't go on till about 2PM. I agred it's annoying that out of stock stuff doesn't show up till checkout. I deleted a couple of things that aren't available for 4-6 weeks sd in previous experiences that can mean months or never

[H1978]

Got £10 credit too 👍🏼

[icedaisy]

Yes @Theforest mail this afternoon apologising and crediting account with 10. Once I got in it was not that bad except for the out of stock items all showing till you added them. Bit slow but not the worst.

Took me about an hour to get in though.

[Theforest]

You got £10 credit?

[Standrewsschool]

Didn’t get a vip slot 😟

[Inaquandry19]

I got the same. Very nice touch from Next there, most companies wouldn't bother.

[icedaisy]

Just got an email saying sorry for bother last night and had 10 credit attached.

My 6:30 slot just let me in and then said 'lost place in queue'. probably going to be a load of shite now anyway

[RaraRachael]

My slot was meant to be at 19.30 tonight. I have an email to prove it. So I go on the site at 19.28 to be put into a queue. After about 15 minutes I am allowed in to the site where it shows that my slot starts at 22.30. I am furious about this as I will be in bed by then.
I have no idea why my slot was changed, but I was not notified about it.
Still it will save me ordering stuff that I will never receive

I had 6pm slot but was put into a queue. Finally, got access to site at 7.30pm. Managed to get a few bits but a lot of stock was out of stock by then or 7-8 week waits for delivery!

[icedaisy]

6pm slot, still in queue.

[H1978]

I must have been one of the lucky ones. Had a 430pm slot but I know from previous vip sales that their countdown timer is always a few minutes ahead so logged into account at 4.26pm and got everything I had on my list and finished before my slot starting time.

Went back a few minutes later because I thought I’d missed something of my list and it was really slow loading, reminded me of when I used to vip sale shop when dds were younger 😂

It may be that they’ve given out more slots than normal and the site can’t deal with it, but some really good bargains at 70% off.

[Aurorie11]

I had 6pm and bounced to 7.30, still in queue - not impressed

[Nanasueathome]

Phew...just got in
Some of the stuff was out of stock but I got what I wanted

[BillBaileysBum]

Next isn’t working for me at all at the moment, it keeps thinking I’m in Belgium.

[nicky2512]

I’ve never had any bother before and I’ve had a vip slot for years.
I can’t get out to shops easily due to poor health so Next has always been my go to for anything needed.
I just looked at their Facebook page. So many unhappy people.
Not really good enough.

[pinkkoala]

My slot was 7pm and i am still in queue to get on, i haven't had this trouble before.

[nicky2512]

I eventually got a few bits by doing multiple orders.
My first full basket was lost when I went to check out.
I had numbers of what I wanted so didn’t have to browse. Once I managed to get a few things to actually go into the basket I checked out.
Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t but at least I got a bit. It seemed to be working a bit better later on so maybe those going on later will be lucky enough.

[Lovelydovey]

So slow and then couldn’t check out with the very few bits that were in stock. Now in a queue and hoping to get back on again.

[VerbenaGirl]

I just came onto Mumsnet while waiting in the ‘queue’ my Next VIP slot and lo and behold I found this thread. I won’t hold my breath then! I guess people are anticipating some good stuff due to them being shut.

[MissRabbitIsExhausted]

Managed to get nothing in my 4,30 slot.
I was so organised with all the numbers of everything I wanted written down 😂
Will have no chance of getting the things now.
