Really need a belt as my jeans keep falling down and various other bits . Have put a few things in a basket in the boden preview but debating whether to buy now or wait a couple of weeks in the hope there are discount codes. WWYD?

I ordered some things (in fact, too much) when the 20% discount preview was on a couple of months ago - arriving in a week according to site!. But i'd be very surprised if there weren't also some discount/s to mark launch of new season.

I find this whole Boden preview thing a bit odd . ordering summer clothes in Jan sticks in my throat,

In the past I have ordered in preview and sometimes been thrilled- well, as far as you can with anything Boden- but on other occasions wish I'd waited as seen nicer things later in other stores.

The problem is that when Boden gets it right, the items sell out like hot cakes in weeks and all that's left are the ghastly mistakes they put in the sale.

if they could guarantee stock levels all season then I'd always wait- but their stock control is pretty poor.

I bought some stuff in the Preview last year, I was very pleased with it when it arrived but by the time the summer had arrived I didn't like it as much and wished I'd saved the money to spend elsewhere.

amelia is right about their stock.

I'm a 22 and things in that size can sell out really fast, so I know that, if I really like something, I usually need to get it pretty quickly. That's the reason I order so much in previews. Lots of it goes back, though.

I do have a rule never (or almost never) to pay full price so, once previews are over, I watch out for discounts.

poly I'm the same size as you and this is why I'm Hmm at to whether to just buy it now (that and that my trousers keep falling down Blush . A few bits I have my eye on are already low stock Shock hence why I do'nt know whether to just get them. I'll leave it a week until they officially launch and then hope for discounts. I've already bought a few bits in their 20% preview discount a few months ago Blush but I need this belt and a pair of jeans and 2 tops and a cardi
