Next Directory

25 replies

Demented · 19/07/2004 20:03

I've just received the new Next Directory on CD-Rom, does anyone know, is that all I'll get or will they still send an actual Directory. I like the slumping on the sofa with glass of wine in hand approach to catalogue shopping!

You'll probably have the directory on your doorstep. I recieved the Cd rom and when I rang them they told me the directory had been left by my bin. Apparently they're always delivered together. Go and have a look!!!!

fairydust · 19/07/2004 21:58

i didn't get a cd rom only a directory last week

SecondhandRose · 19/07/2004 22:13

Got a directory, really disappointed. The same old stuff and the same old models year after year. It really could have been the 2002 catalogue. How many ways can you reproduce the same dining chair?!

The only thing DD fancies are the pink snow boots.

woodpops · 20/07/2004 08:22

Snap SHR, just ordered the snow boots for my dd before they sell out!!! The kids clothes aren't at all inspiring. My dd ofetn does user trial for Next and over the summer we've had some quite nice stuff which I can't see in the new directory. Maybe it'll be in the winter supplement!!!

mummysurfer · 20/07/2004 08:26

ooo how do you do that woodpops?

woodpops · 20/07/2004 08:50

Someone asked me to do it. Apparently there was a shortage of little girls. Some stuff is really nice but some of the stuff is also very grim!!!!

Thanks the Directory was at the door, DH noticed it on his way past. I wish they wouldn't do that, we live on a busy street and I don't fancy paying £3.50 for the Directory just to have it nicked. They keep throwing (a good two or three metres) my order onto my back door step if I'm not in and that cheeses me off too, how do they know there is nothing breakable in the parcel, grrrrr .

does anyone know is you can buy on line during the sale?

Where do they sell maternity sale stuff?

Tetley · 20/07/2004 14:31

No buying online in the sale - you can only phone , but its always really busy. I presume that the maternity stuff is included wth everything else.

Do you have a Next Clearance shop anywhere near you, Webmum? I used to get a lot of stuff in there when I was prgnant.

webmum · 20/07/2004 15:06

tetley

not that I know of!! How do I find out?

Thanks for the info

Tetley · 20/07/2004 15:12

I don't know, Webmum - other than the branches are written on the carrier bags! I've got a bag at home as I bought something there yesterday, so I can have a look tonight (I'm at work now). Where are you?

woodpops · 20/07/2004 15:16

Glad you found it demented. Not up to much though is it?? It annoys me when they leave the directory on the doorstep. They once left it on the doorstep with a letter that had all of my account details on it and like you I live on a busy road. Thank God no one pinched it. I rang custoemer services up and lost my temper!!!!!

webmum · 20/07/2004 15:17

thanks Tetly

Good for you windpops! It's not on!

Tetley, would you mind having a look for me too? I live in Scotland, they used to have a Next to Nothing in Glasgow but it closed down and I haven't come across one since.

OP posts:
Tetley · 20/07/2004 15:21

No problem - Demented & Webmum - will look when I get home

Tetley · 20/07/2004 16:37

OK - carrier bag now in front of me.

In Glasgow there are apparently 2 Next Clearance shops - one at Forge Retail Park and one on Union Street. (No more in Scotland!)

None in London itself, but there is one at Lakeside Retail Park, Thurrock.

HTH

StickyNote · 20/07/2004 16:40

Is there one in Bicester?

Tetley · 20/07/2004 20:55

Doesn't look like it, Stickynote. OK then, complete list from the bag is:

Corporation St, Birmingham
Perry Bar, Birmingham
Darley St, Bradford
Designer Outlet, Brigend
Abbeywood Shopping Centre, Bristol
Queens Arcade, Cardiff
Freeport, Castleford
Designer Outlet, Cheshire Oaks
Dalton Park, Co Durham
Yorkshire Retail Outlet, Doncaster

Forge Retail Park, Glasgow
Union St, Glasgow
Boar Lane, Leeds
West One Retail Park, Manchester
Long Row, Nottingham

Blimey - anyone would think I worked for Next after that lot - I hope they read this & give me a discount

codswallop · 20/07/2004 20:59

I bought on line before the sale last year!

codswallop · 20/07/2004 21:00

Juliehafrancis · 20/07/2004 23:14

Thank you Tetley, you're a star, it used to be in Sauchiehall Street, they must have just moved it. Ooooh, I can feel a trip to Glasgow coming on!

nutcracker · 21/07/2004 09:31

I brought online in the last next sale too.

Haven't recieved my new directory though. Have recently chnaged my address, who wants to bet that it goes to the old one.

ladymuck · 21/07/2004 19:34

Has anyone got an email about the Sale yet offering early sales? I'm sure that I got one last time, but haven't seen anything this time...

StickyNote · 21/07/2004 19:53

Thanks Tetley
