BODEN SALE - AN UPDATE!!

[kittya]

I have just rang them as it seemed the easiest thing to do to get a date out of them!!

The lady said that there is not date confirmed as yet and that they have been told to tell customers to ring back Friday and they may have a date then.

Fancy that.

Hmmm

Sale has started on the US site.

how does that affect us over here?

OOh thanks for posting that

They are roughly about the same time, although it has been disputed before that all the stock goes to the US and we are left with the bare minimum, but Boden strongly denied this on a thread. Will go look out a link...

What a surprise people who phone on Friday morning will have when they are told the sale has just started!

Kittya, it means all the good stuff will be gone.

\link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/874421-Boden-USA-sale-starts-first-and-stock-plummets\Here}. JB comes on eventually as Bodenboy.

Ooh, Bodenboy says he actually answered the calls from the US himself. How call to have Johnnie personally answer your call.

And he claims the US customers don't get such a good service as Us Brits.

Oh I thought Bodenboy was Johnnie but reading the thread again it appears not, he is "just" a call centre person.

I am sure JB came on himself at one point on a thread.

Please, dont lose any sleep thinking about it!!

we always have said that all the good stuff goes to the US first.

So, what time are we supposed to vloody ring them on Friday? would they actually have it over a weekend?

I think it will start Friday.

It's usually a Friday isn't it? Site goes down a little while before. Then suddenly there it is!

I e-mailed them today and got the outstandingly helpful reply that it would be this week! Not deterred I e-mailed back whining 'but WHEN?' and got the reply like Kittya - that they haven't decided yet They have assured me I will get an e-mail beforehand - if so that'll be a first as it usually arrives about 24 hours later. So 'constant vigilance' is the only way to go I think.

boden usa if you want to look and try and work out what will be off what here.

he was at the mn party
i ddint see him
he obv wasnt hotch potch enough

The summer sale started on a thursday pm and was announced on fb to catch everyone out I guess.

So I reckon it will be this thursday at 3pm and will put 50p on that

I don't think it will be Friday am - don't think the site can stand the strain so they start it at an odd time to catch folks out and stagger demand.....

Going off the thread a bit - just looked at the Boden Washed leather Blazer - and there is a 54 week wait on the brown colour!! Are they taking the piss?? That's January 2012!!

Lt us know if it starts early - Post a new thread! Thursday pm sounding likely.

I have deliberately put things in my basket, as they always empty these just before the sale starts, kind of like an early warning system!!

Def will be Friday I think.
I always look at the US site to see what reductions there are.

Me too,purple

I find it very hard to believe that they haven't decided when they are starting the sale!

Well, actually I think one of the recent sales atarted on the Thursday pm rather than early Friday am - so maybe they really haven't decided when exactly to press the button

That was meant to be "started"
and
[benefit of the doubt] emoticon

Ah, you are not as cynical as me Franke I think they just want to create maximum hype about their sale. No doubt when I do realise that it has started, there will be nothing left that I want!!!
