Why is there a "40% off mid season sale on Boden" advert link from MN...

[AnonymousBird]

.. which has no such discounts I can find?!

I was about to start a thread asking exactly the same thing!

Watching with interest......

In the past they have sometimes linked ahead of a sale, ie. the link goes in before they are ready, so maybe something is in the offing.... their 15% off runs out end of today, so I reckon it might happen!

buggery bollox!

Have just received a £200 order from them today (well actually my neighbour has and I am waiting for them to return so that I can get my mitts on it!!)

have just contacted customer services and (taps side of nose in knowing manner) sale starts tomorrow :)

I will, however, keep trying just in case!!

There is nowt I'd have if they paid me at the moment- fed up with the trashy stuff.

Right, set the alarm clock for early then!!!!

what time does it usually go live?

I will be seriously peed off to have finally got around to ordering stuff only to have it all reduced within days

cabbageroses - didn't you have a good experience with the jacket you bought? Was that the only thing which worked for you?

tulpe- the jacket- arrrrrhhhhh- no I sent it back.

It is nice BUT i had a serious think about when I would really wear it and decided I am more a cardi person in summer- so gave it a miss.

it is nicely fitted though.

I can't think what I have bought and kept...

I am waiting for the notch neck dress in another colour and ditto the broderie shift dress-( and think they will both go back and bloody awful getting off and on) but have not kept anything except the cropped chinos.

what is the 10% code that you can use as well?? thanks in advance

tulpe - this happened to me and i called customer services and they gave me a credit for the difference for the items that were in stock and in the sale.

cabbageroses - which jacket are we talking?

I have LN3P as a 10% code... no idea if it will work tomorrow or not.

miche8 will consider that option as DCs need a few bits too but would rather have the cold hard cash I think!

the jacket is the short linen one- the Avignon jacket. I ordered the pale blue .

i think i am going to stop ordering at pre-order rates etc - what's the point of 20% when you can get 35% off (catch of the day + 15% off a few weeks back) or up to 40% off in the sale before anyone actually needs the new season clothes

I think they usually start late afternoon, don't they?

the stuff is dire though!! have you seen it? the only thing I have kept is the easy jersey dress and, even then, it gets lower the more you wear it so your boobs end up coming out!!

Thats all I have kept but my niece loved their dark jeggings and one of the costumes, if that helps.

Im keeping away. Us regulars know there is no point in buying until the reductions start. Its just not worth it.

Just had a quick try on of my order as neighbour finally returned :)

This in the sea green is gorgeous and is definitely a keeper. Looks fab layered over slub cotton long sleeve tee (not from Boden)

This is in the blue is gorgeous but the soft red is a no-no and will be returned. I usually hate 3/4 length sleeves and ordered this in desperation to get some kind of colourful knitwear for the summer but the sleeves on this aren't too cropped.

This skirt in pink is great. I can't wear shorts as I look vile so this is a great alternative. May size up though as the 8 is a bit snug and I don't want to do that "oh I'll have lot the extra thigh weight by summer" thing.......because I know I won't!

I really want to love this jumper but the neck is just a bit clumsy - the rib is far too wide. I ordered the pink which is a lovely colour but I think it will go back (unless seriously reduced tomorrow).

Oh dear kittya not good news about the easy jersey dress, which I have but haven't worn yet. perhaps my large boobs will keep it from descending. Clearly cami is needed anyway!

Not sure I'd get anything even if it was free.

If this skirt makes the model look like the Michelin man what hope is there for the rest of us?!?

that skirt is totally hideous. Do they not look at the photos and think "who on earth will buy that?" and quickly bin it!

Hi tulpe

just wondering why the cropped cardi in the soft red is a no-no? I am thinking of ordering it as I need a red cardi.

ta.

No way! I just ordered over GBP 400 worth of clothes from them today. Bastards

Willowstar - it is pink rather than red. I really wanted a proper red for the summer, iyswim so am being disciplined and returning it even though it is rather lovely :). I also think it was slightly smaller than the blue - even though they are both the same size
