BODEN SALE - AN UPDATE!!

77 replies

kittya · 07/12/2010 17:35

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

5GoldenFimbos · 07/12/2010 17:39

Sale has started on the US site.

kittya · 07/12/2010 17:40

how does that affect us over here?

OOh thanks for posting that

5GoldenFimbos · 07/12/2010 17:42

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...

LynetteScavo · 07/12/2010 17:43

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.

LynetteScavo · 07/12/2010 17:48

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.

5GoldenFimbos · 07/12/2010 17:50

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.

kittya · 07/12/2010 17:56

Please, dont lose any sleep thinking about it!! Smile

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?

5GoldenFimbos · 07/12/2010 17:58

I think it will start Friday.

ABudafulSightWereHappyTonight · 07/12/2010 17:58

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

NorthernLurker · 07/12/2010 19:00

I e-mailed them today and got the outstandingly helpful reply that it would be this week! Hmm Not deterred I e-mailed back whining 'but WHEN?' and got the reply like Kittya - that they haven't decided yet Hmm Hmm 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.

NorthernLurker · 07/12/2010 19:01

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

RolandButter · 07/12/2010 19:09

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

traceybath · 07/12/2010 19:29

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 Wink

NorthernLurker · 07/12/2010 19:47

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.....

Gogopops · 07/12/2010 19:57

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!! Shock

SerendipityAlways · 07/12/2010 22:51

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!!

purplepeony · 08/12/2010 08:46

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

GeorginaWorsley · 08/12/2010 12:06

Me too,purple Wink

Meggles76 · 08/12/2010 12:25

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

franke · 08/12/2010 12:28

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

franke · 08/12/2010 12:29

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

Meggles76 · 08/12/2010 12:34

Ah, you are not as cynical as me Franke Wink 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!!!
