Next sale?

[ThreeWheelsOnMySleigh]

Does anyone know if Next are going into sale this weekend? I have just been into my local branch and all the sale prices are pencilled on the back of their swing tickets. Looks like some good discounts to be had - all the items I saw were down by 50%!

REALLY? I need to know more..

BUMP

should I cancel my order then???

oh how do we find out? Can someone ask the staff. I can't get until Saturday.

Sorry, should have added that I asked a sales assistant but they said they didn't know. However, I have worked for a high-street retailer for years and we were always deliberately vague about sale time for understandable reasons! It must be imminent, as trading conditions can change so quickly that it is never worth setting sale prices til as close as possible to the event. [hopeful face]

I've just asked someone who works there. Will let you know if she replies...

Sale starts after Xmas, usually the day after boxing day at 5-6 am in the morning. They have to start pencilling prices on tags of sale stuff and then Xmas Eve it shuts earlyish and then sale stuff is sorted that evening before going home for Xmas and then an early start day after boxing day.

Hope that helps. x

sure the VIP invites for the web will go out first that should be soon must keep a look out for it!

From a next sale discussion board:

"Hi im a not sure when the next sale will be but as im a next courier we get priority on the sale items on monday 22nd dec so presume the v.i.p slots will start the followin day,we finish delivering christmas eve not back to work until the 29th dec"

"Last year the sale started on Saturday 22nd and the invites went out on about the 19th. So if they do the same time scale this year then I suspec the invites will be going out tomorrow sometime."

Oh yeah, online is different from instore. Instore we got first dibs on sale items once we had finished pricing it all on Xmas eve ready for sal after Xmas.

Am not up on the online part of it!!

The sale will be on boxing day, I used to work for them and it takes weeks to organise hence the pencil mark on the back of the tags.

So glad I dont work there anymore.

is it online on boxing day too then?

VIP sale slots are now available on your next account - if you normally get one.

Had a VIP slot once last year but don't appear to have one now....how do i get one?

oh thank you, didn't know about VIP sales and I lodged into my account and now have a placed booked for tomorrow. How does it work? How many items can you buy?

You can buy as much as you like, I tend to buy birthday presssies for the next couple of months all our bedding comes from the sale as do DH's year supply of Jeans

Do have my eye on the half price ottoman as well

Thanks, I have written a list and I have 32 codes

i got my email invite today and have booked my slot tomorrow night. I'm fully expecting it to be the usual 'out of stock' as soon as I log in though But i'm writing out a list regardless.

I was told by the staff the sale is the saturday so the day after boxing day. It was also the day after boxing day last year as I went in early before heading to work.
