anyone ordered since they put the archive stuff up? has it come?

in the past i've had sale orders despatched the following day. i ordered monday, still no despatch... i rang them to check whether it had just gone out of stock but they reckoned they were a bit behind but the order should go through okay Hmm

grrr i want my jacket Angry (actually it's waaaay too cold to wear it atm, but i'd like to know whether i'll ever get it... )

I haven't had any dispatch notes yet, either, and I ordered on Monday.

I like Toast, but their warehouse sometimes seems to be manned by one man and his dog.

glad it's not just me :) what are you waiting for?

I also ordered on Monday and it was delivered today. I wondered what time you ordered? I was very lucky to stumble across the archive sale mid-morning...I´m sure you´ll get yours soon Wink

I think vesela is right though. I sent an email a few weeks back and it took them 5 days to reply

prettymaryk · 28/01/2011 20:57

ooh wow i just got my despatch mail :squee:

so what did you get bebe? keeping it?

Oh gad I cant be arsed with Toast any more. The site was sooooo slow and since the debacle last year when it took them three weeks to tell me that the boots I thought I'd bought were out of stock and another fortnight to refund the money onto credit card. Angry

Orange cowl-necked velvet dress, damson fedosia tunic b/c I have the pink one and it's very hard wearing, and purple merino cardigan.

From the ordinary sale the kingfisher cowl-necked carina dress which is vv nice.

MadameOvary, I remember that. I was looking at the T&Cs on their site that they now say they process all refunds within 48 hours - can't remember that being the case before, and I know Boden say 30 days or something huge, so maybe they've got their act together since.

prettymaryk - I am v. excited as my delivery is sitting at my Mum´s as I type. I am visiting next week so will have to wait until then to see what I´ll be keeping (hopefully?) I ordered the Finn jacket, Tams ballet pumps in lead green and what I am most Grin about are the Spanish ankle boots. I just hope they fit me... You?

Sorry to hear that MadameO, I have just had a very similar thing happen to me but it was with Joules

prettymaryk · 28/01/2011 21:20

oh yes i remember that tunic being much admired last year :) you have deep pockets vesela! or are you planning on sending lots back?

i've just ordered one jacket this one because i'm working a military look this season Hmm :o

ooh we're close on our fitzroy/finn jackets bebe :) i already have a double breasted one though finn too similar.

i eyed up the spanish ankle boots but they're just too smart for me, would never work, hope they fit :)

The fedosia tunic may go back because that's the thing I don't strictly need. Orange dress will be very useful if it suits me, ditto merino cardigan.

Colour-wise they're a stab in the dark, since orange and purple are colours I've never tended towards - but I was so surprised at what a good colour the kingfisher dress turned out to be on me (it's darker and greener than on the website) that I thought it might be worth trying a couple of other colours I thought were alien. So we'll see.

I'd always thought I was a summer/winter sort, but at the moment I'm wearing a greeny-yellow scarf from M&S with gold flecks in (nicer than sounds) and that looks OK too. So who knows? (resists temptation to buy up Toast's stocks of nankeen yellow).

bebespain · 28/01/2011 21:46

Yes pretty I couldn´t decide between the two and at one point had them both in my basket...Ooh I hope it fits...never bought from Toast before so not sure about their sizes

prettymaryk · 28/01/2011 21:56

generous ime. fitzroy notes reckon it's "neat" fitting, i ordered half a size up cos i want to put fastenings on the front.
