Boden and discounts

8 replies

OK so last season Boden cancelled my entire order, this season I have missed getting the things I want and some are only at 20% discount.

I am currently overseas so get hammered on postage and returns are impossible!

Can any of the seasoned Boden shoppers tell me what is the best discount they do during the season that they offer on everything?

I can't afford to order a top when they are 40% one week and then some trousers the next when they are 40% because of the postage, it makes no sense so I thought I would be best ordering when things are in stock during the season and was hoping for a 40% on everything.

So does it reliably happen?

Thanks

I've only ever managed 20% and free (UK) delivery...

They did 30% off everything at the beginning of December. I bought a few things then, and they were cheaper with that discount than they were when they went into the sale a couple of weeks later. Also got free delivery, not that that would make a difference to you.

They are buggers for it. There will almost certainly be 30% at some point, and probably a mid season sale that will be 'up to' 40% off selected items.

You will never get 30% or 40% off except during clearance in June/July and dec.

Twice a year there will be a 25%. A few 20% and more 15% / buy 3 get 4th free.

Why did they cancel your order?

There is a thread specifically for boden discount codes. It's been running since feb so you'll be able to see the pattern of discounts run through the year.

oh thanks didn't expect so many replies.

They really annoy me in so many ways, the select sending of vouchers, the cancelling orders, trying to match size and availability and stock on the website, but I have a couple of tricky sons and the shopping where I am is dire and expensive and I understand their boys sizing so ........

thanks cook
I have looked at that thread but it is over 400 messages and we have very slow internet.......
I did think I remembered a 40% off (maybe last winter so wondered whether it was regular)
I will look again though

we never quite got to the bottom of why it was cancelled, I was pretty incandescent with rage and we went away for a few days so the thing just fizzled, it was also clear from the initial emails they had no intention of doing anything about it

I don't buy anything unless I can get at least 20% and then would only get stuff I really want or am worried would sell out (like jeans for me which seem to be the only ones in the whole world that fit). If I'm happy to take the chance on it not being available I'll hold out for 25% or 30.

Clarinet they'll sometime do things like 30/40% off a selected few items - I don't bother with those as they are inevitably the things I don't want. Or daft stuff like 'catch of the day' where you get 20% off trousers on monday, dresses on tuesday etc lasts a week.

That threat with the discounts, you just need to 'flip' it so you're looking at the last page first, which will give you the most recent discount from MNers. It's currently 15% off with free del and returns. M96K. Why don't you 'watch' the thread then you'll know as soon as someone posts a new code.

With 15% I only buy the stuff I'm worried about losing out on. I will wait for the 25% off to stock up on summer stuff.
