Lost Stock

[drspouse]

Just ordering myself a box from this outfit:

loststock.co/

No idea when it will arrive but I thought it looked good, ordered one for DH too (in "dark" and "plain", he's a boring sod).

It's a shame, I was thinking this sounded like a great idea but I decided to give to a charity direct because I'm a bit chubby. I've seen to many items that are clearly massively under their advertised value of the box and that's what I have a huge issue with. There's a red slip 'dress' that's clearly part of a set for under an actual dress

This is what I got @MissMarplesHandbag - 😊

I look much more busty in the pics than I am - I blame the husbands camera angle 🤣

I know @MissMarplesHandbag, they're not good are they?! The one with the blue flowers

I went for patterns, can't remember what else I asked for!

@Roominmyhouse - I think you have the best selection I’ve seen posted in a good while!
@BlueTongueSkink - Crop tips are not my thing. Nor elasticated waists. Nor florals. 😂😂

Mine arrived too. Love one, like one and hate one but will find a home for it I’m sure. I ordered at the same time as a friend and found it quite fun.

Those patterned ones are hideous! Mine's on its way, I went for dark- not expecting great things. I'm almost hoping for absurd ugliness for the comedy value after all this time

@MissMarplesHandbag yes I’ve been very lucky I think!

So you don't want to take them off my hands then @MissMarplesHandbag?!

Glad others got some wearable stuff though!

Oooh, let me have a think @BlueTongueSkink 🤔. And that’ll be a no! 😂. I wouldn’t want to scare anyone quite frankly!!

If you don’t like anything I would ask for a refund @BlueTongueSkink

Say that they’re clearly not worth the £70 RRP and they arrived much later than the promised delivery date. Lots of people on the Lost Stock Lost Faith group have successfully got their money back. Then if you wish to you can donate all/part of the refund directly to the Sajida Foundation, without lining Lost Stock’s pockets.

Thanks @Untangled87 - yes I think I might do that.

Mine has arrived, will open it shortly.

I ordered mine end of June

Dd's and mine have arrived but not ds's.
Dd got 2 of bluetonguedskink's - the dark one and the yellowy short sleeved floral one.
I have unpicked the bottom 2 tiers of the dark top and dd is v happy with it deflounced. She is wearing the vest top that was her third option.
She's asked me to unpick what she has termed 'nipple flounces' from the yellow top but I'm working up to it.

Mine arrives today.
It was pretty much what I had asked for.
A rayon, stone coloured shirt that feels like good quality, the same light top as roominmyhouse and a navy long-sleeved top with a v neck.

Dd was a good sport but if ds isn't going to wear his, when they come, I will send them back.

My three tops.
The blue one is really nice and soft, will need to be worn with something underneath.

The red one is nice so will probably wear that too.

The cream top has been claimed by my daughter.

Really don't think it's worth £70+

Mine has just turned up after 4 months. I have two rather dull tops and a satin slip maxi that I am keeping as a nightie. Having picked the general disappointment about the orders I wasn't expecting anything great and fair enough thats what I got

I think mine ls coming today, I got one for me and one for the children. I'm not holding out for much, I hope at least the money goes to those who needed it.

Well, DH's came today and he did better than I did (mine were the flouncy floral weirdness upthread). I ordered the boxes at the same time months ago.

He got 2 short sleeve shirts, one grey and one burgundy - which are OK but a bit shiny in the light - and a white T shirt with a very random taco embroidered on the front

They're not too bad really, at least his are wearable unlike mine!!

Ordered my "box" in early August after seeing this thread. Opted for patterned brights to perhaps try something new. My parcel arrived a few days ago and it's a bit meh. I received a cheap looking white and pink ombré vest, a floral sleeveless frilly blouse and a puffy sleeved floral crop top. Nothing I would pick for myself and obviously not ideal to receive in late Oct.
I suppose it could have been worse, but it's less than I expected when the box is marketed to be worth £75.

@ellephant - You must have checked some 'express delivery' box only ordering in August and it arriving now.

I've had another 'your order is on its way' email (I think that's about my fourth). I ordered on May 30th so I'm not holding my breath. 

I’ve just had one of those emails MissFitton - just when I had completely given up. I also ordered in May. I was assuming it was just a scam to take your money so I’m glad to hear that some people have actually received clothes.

I got mine. Pleasantly surprised to be honest 😊

I got the same white top as Roominmyhouse, a plain navy blue tshirt and a dark royal blue 3/4 sleeve top. All 100% cotton.

@coffeeandcardigans

Really like the idea behind Lost Stock but I never got around to ordering one earlier in the summer so I just ordered an Autumn box last week. Should arrive late September/ early October. Bit disappointed to see peoples preferences for lights/ darks etc wasn't really taken into account but I do like the idea of a mystery package of clothes arriving! As other people have said, I'm looking at it as a charity donation primarily and hopefully if I don't like anything for myself I can pass on to family or friends who might wear them.

So my autumn/ winter 'box' arrived this week, which to be fair was under 3 months so not too bad considering some people who ordered in May seem to still be waiting

I have to say I'm really regretting not just donating to the charity directly. The clothes aren't really my style, which is fine as it was obviously pot luck, but the quality is so much poorer than advertised. I have 2 tops and a dress definitely all destined for budget brands not mid range high street. I would expect to pick up similar in Primark for maybe €30 max whereas they cost me over €50

Can post pictures later if anyone is interested, I'm not sure many of the autumn orders have arrived yet.
