Next VIP sale....

53 replies

Greengardenpixie · 19/12/2014 23:00

So logged into my account and noticed that i could request a VIP sale slot. I am able to preview the listings but there is very little this year and very little that i want. The strange thing is that there seems very little of the current stock listed in the sale. In fact, i had a look through as i recently decorated my sitting room and none of what i bought is in the sale despite it still being in stock!! [ not that im complaining!] Also looked up a nice coat that i tried on and despite it still being in stock on the website..its not for sale either!!! Very strange.
Anyone else got a slot? When does the sale actually begin? Maybe it has started and things have gone already????

God lucky I checked my slot - it's Monday not Tuesday !!

Does anyone know when new season stuff will be online? Nothing in the sale I want but am looking for some new jeans as my relaxed skinnys are about to fall apart.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 21/12/2014 22:49

It is usually the day of the sale so early this week.

I had a VIP slot last time and just looked for things for DS and there was very very little choice. I ended up with one T-shirt and 1 pair of shorts. Was very disappointed.

mine is crack of dawn tomorrow

dexter73 · 22/12/2014 17:05

Just done my order. Got a Whistles jumper, Whistles boyfriend jeans, Phase Eight dress and a Next navy faux fur.

WhereIsMySantaHat · 22/12/2014 17:16

Oh, I got a seasalt rain coat, a couple of whistles bits and some ash jalouse booths (£50!).

Amazing bargains to be had on brands.

ElizabethHoover · 22/12/2014 17:26

Oh hope there's some tomorrow am

HomeyIDrankTheBeer · 22/12/2014 17:47

Didn't even know they sold seasalt or ash! Shock bargains there then.

I got my curtains, and a matching rug! don't think they'll arrive before Christmas but hey ho...

JemimaMuddledUp · 22/12/2014 21:21

I got the Seasalt coat for myself, have also ordered one from the Boden sale so I will see which I prefer and send one back.

Got some Converse for DS2 and DD and some new curtains for our bedroom. Plus undies, socks and PJs for everyone :-)

Quite pleased with my little haul Grin

PrimalLass · 23/12/2014 00:05

I was at 5pm. All I cared about was the navy leather biker jacket, but I ordered loads for DD and a few other bits from the 'designer' section.

TheBuskersDog · 23/12/2014 00:30

I ordered running gear, their branded stuff is over priced normally but a good deal in the sale.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 23/12/2014 07:44

I got some new Converse Grin

mejon · 23/12/2014 08:40

Amazingly I got a pretty early slot though I forgot to log on til 7pm. Got a few things for the DDs including some Kickers for DD2 for when she starts school after Easter. Disappointing selection in Homewares though.

They did actually put more stock on but i do agree...where is all the homeware? Think it must be in their spring catalogue! I got an inwear black blouse, a seasalt stripey cardi, maison scotch black tunic dress, arm caps for my sofa, phase eight wrap leaf print dress, and cashmere cardi, cashmere tunic. Have ordered but will return most of it i reckon and only keep the things that i really like. Have ordered for choice tbh.

I had a slot this morning at 6am. I didn't bother getting up for it as when I checked the preview last night, loads of stock had gone.

I ordered a pair of shoes for me, a shirt and trousers for OH, although I'm not convinced we will keep any of it.

ElizabethHoover · 23/12/2014 17:03

No nike trainers left. Got some gym stuff. Boys pyjamas. A suitcase and some stuff for h

sleepdodger · 23/12/2014 22:09

CointreauVersial · 23/12/2014 22:58

There was so much stuff! I gave up trying to pick through it.

dexter73 · 24/12/2014 07:44

Ime the stuff which has weeks until it is delivered never comes Sad

JemimaMuddledUp · 24/12/2014 08:40

I'm tempted to cancel some of the stuff that has long availability dates, as in previous years it has just never turned up. I have some items that aren't due to be delivered until the beginning of March Xmas Hmm

Also I think the Seasalt coat will go back as I also ordered one from Boden the same day so that I could compare the two. The Boden one came yesterday, the Seasalt one from Next won't be delivered until January.

ElizabethHoover · 24/12/2014 09:36

Agree. Son is working the next sale and is setting up today. Says there's masses of baby wear which is fuck all use!! I've got him primed for costs for H
