Sheffield fargate m&s urgent help needed

212 replies

Babynamehelp8 · 27/12/2025 14:16

does anyone know anyone who works there please? Someone stole an item out my hands today in a different store and it’s the only store with stock of the item which I’ve hunted everywhere for but I can’t get through to store only a central call centre; anyone know how I can before I drive all that way for potentially wasted journey please?

What is it you wanted could we do a national Mumsnet search for it!

Omg I am intrigued!! What could it be that someone would steal from you in M&S! Well I hope you get it and if you do come back and display your prize possession 🙏☘️🙏☘️

StillCreatingAName · 27/12/2025 14:27

Order online to collect in store, change your store settings to the Sheffield branch. It’s quite easy.

or have I just fallen for some clever way of encouraging people to start shopping online again at M&S?

And to be frank, you sound very very desperate!! So I can’t imagine what more desperate must look like!!

Yummycarrot · 27/12/2025 14:35

What is it op?

RedRiverShore6 · 27/12/2025 14:39

Was it a sale item, maybe there will be a return, is it the sort of thing that will be an unwanted gift

Yeah unfortunately in the sale and unlikely to be returned I think

Sorry but Mumsnet is not M&S customer service

Iamthemoom · 27/12/2025 14:52

Once the search is over can you post the link so we can see which bag it was? And elaborate on the theft? Nosey and intrigued!

Don't waste your time going to store. I work for M&S and one in stock means there isn't any left. By the time you get there it will have gone.

The stock system doesn't work in real time so you can't rely on those stock levels sorry.

Thank you, it’s gone back up to 2 in stock. Does that mean it will be in stock or still potentially not? Wish I could just get through to the store!

WonderfulSmith · 27/12/2025 14:56

Am I understanding this correctly? You went into the store where there was a bargain to be had. Someone took the as yet unpaid-for bargain from your hand and you want help finding it again?

Was it a sherry trifle?
