I think sale is 18.7, wondered if they'd started on the slots yet and if so whether id therefore missed out! anyone had any mails?

The slots will probably go out about Sunday for Monday/Tuesday onwards I would think.

I will be checking my emails Smile

Chchchchanging · 09/07/2015 22:07

Reckon it's worth buying more said now to increase my chances of getting a golden ticket Wink

I have had a vip when I have bought nothing and not when I have bought stuff. I would say it has been 50/50 each time whether I get one and doesn't seem dependant on what I buy. I have got quite a bit of stuff after the sale though, when returns come back, especially if I go on there early in the morning.

SauvignonPlonker · 09/07/2015 22:18

I haven't had one yet; fingers crossed!

NotPennysBoat · 09/07/2015 22:36

I think it's usually a week before, so hopefully this weekend!

CointreauVersial · 09/07/2015 22:39

Bought very little from Next recently, so not expecting to be amongst the favoured few.

NotPennysBoat · 13/07/2015 11:45

I've had my VIP invite email this morning, booked the first available slot which was Weds at 17:00.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 13/07/2015 11:59

me - earliest is 2.30 am on Wed

I dont understand it

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 13/07/2015 11:59

oh no 18h on Wed
can you log on Afterward?

TheBreeze · 13/07/2015 12:16

Got mine emailed at 10.35 this morning and booked a slot Wed 17.00 at about 11 o'clock this morning

Is this the first slot, I hope so Smile Actually i couldn't have done one any earlier because of getting home from work.

You can log on anytime after your slot starts but once logged on then have to put something in basket within 20 mins.

mejon · 13/07/2015 13:23

Mine's at 19.30 on Wednesday. No doubt there'll be nothing left by then. I wish they'd make searching for what you need a bit easier - I want girls' clothes for my 4yo and 9yo, yet there's size 4, 3-4, 4, age 4, 3-4 years, etc with different things in each one. Just put everything in the same place!

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 13/07/2015 13:26

i only get branded sportswear tbh

Talisin · 13/07/2015 13:29

18:00 was the first slot on offer for me. I suspect the two things I really want will be gone by then though. Oh well.

Wenchelda · 13/07/2015 13:31

I've got one for the first time ever. Very surprised to even have one as I hardly buy anything from there tbh. So now I've got my slot booked, what do I need to know? I've got a 3yo DD and 5yo DS who always need clothes and could do with some decent tops for myself I guess. No idea what other bargains to look out for!

poppym12 · 13/07/2015 13:35

Yes, email came this morning. couple of things I'd like but I daresay they won't be available on Wednesday and I'll end up buying lots of stuff I don't want anyway.

dexter73 · 13/07/2015 14:57

Wenchelda - have a look through the sales listing beforehand to see if you like anything.

Shapebandit · 13/07/2015 14:59

I've got wed at 7.30pm. I always get a vip slot without fail but rarely buy much in the sales tbh

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 13/07/2015 16:10

i got a real life invitation

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 13/07/2015 16:10

i cant see HOW the 6pm Wednesday slot will be no good - the only one earlier is 5pm!

LemonYellowSun · 13/07/2015 16:12

I have 7pm Weds. Nothing is ever left at that point so I dont know why I am bothering

Nanasueathome · 13/07/2015 16:18

I gave up even bothering to book a VIP slot as I have never bought anything
Everything I have looked at beforehand and lined up had always sold out by the time I had my slot
You do tend to do better in-store as a lot of the stuff is sent to the stores and they always seem to have more choices and availability

Dawndonnaagain · 13/07/2015 18:23

I managed a 6pm on Wednesday evening. I usually do quite a bit of Christmas shopping!

TheBreeze · 13/07/2015 19:27

I also get a few Xmas presents, stocking fillers like socks for DS and stuff like that. I also can only get the tall stuff and XL length online from Next so hope to get a few things as they won't be instore anyway. I have my eye on a jacket and a couple of tops and I generally try to get some work trousers. I also want to buy a bedstead, as one of the ones I had my eye on is in the sale but need to check about delivery of sale furniture in case they don't deliver, also need some new bedding to go with it Smile.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 13/07/2015 19:52

well inside news from son is that the branded stuff ISNT sent to store

He gets no advance options

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 13/07/2015 19:55

online i mean
