It has been half price for months because they are discontinuing it.

Quite a few nice ones in the range, though. I like Le Noir and Le Sauvage.

Oh, just don't talk to me about this.

It's being dicontinued.

Why, FFS? They were poorly advertised, and never sufficiently rolled-out nationally - but they were building a very positive following on-line and by word-of-mouth.

And the one I like is sold out on-line, sold out across most of the UK, but M and S have many bottles of it in one or two shops in areas of the country many, many miles from me.

I 'phoned the central customer service number. I said I'd like to buy 6-10 bottles, could I do mail order?

No.

Why don't I buy a train ticket and go and fetch them (we're talking 100-200 miles here - and I have children, so a baby-sitter too)?

How unhelpful is that as a response? I'd give that a 6 for completely crap non-customer service.

And - astonishing! - M and S sales figures have shown a slump again!! What could they possibly be doing wrong?

What area Cat, maybe someone on here can help?

Cardiff, toothytwo. I think the other was Carlisle. But Cardiff definitely.

The individual people who work in M and S stores that I've spoken to could not have been more keen to be helpful. But M and S just do not do mail order any more, or transferring goods from one area to another. And customer service really don;t seem to care about getting feed-back.

I do wonder why it has been discontinued. And why it wasn't really promoted in the first place. I tried asking customer service but didn't get any answer, other than: "It has been discontinued." (Me: I knew that. In fact, I told you that in my first couple of sentences.)

Perhaps Lynn Harris decided to pull out because she doesn't think M and S convey the right sort of image for her brand?

Rant over.

But, anyway, thanks for the thought, toothytwo.

The lack of promotion was astonishing. If it wasn't for mumsnet, I would never have heard of it or appreciated it, never mind bought three bottles...

Which of them is nice? What do they smell like?
