I am a regular Toast buyer but have never had a Kindred invite and am not seeing any Sale prices.

does anyone know what the criteria are for Kindred please?

MrsCat1 · 21/12/2023 13:21

@Tremblingmadness There aren't any clear published criteria. People have asked this question on the online chat and have been told that Marketing specify it but there is no more info.

I'm a long standing Kindred member but I can't see anything at the moment. Standing by for action!

Tremblingmadness · 21/12/2023 13:24

Sooooo frustrating

I have two coats and several jumpers on my wish list and am getting so concerned about losing the sizes that I am inclined to order anyway.

I guarantee though that the minute I do ……….

Tremblingmadness · 21/12/2023 13:30

Sorry, another question.

Does anyone know how many days Kindred get exclusivity before the Sale opens up to mere mortals?

I love Toast, but what with the sizing debacle of the last couple of years, requiring numerous trips to my local city to return (I never trust high price items to the Post Office) and them not considering me worthy of Kindred, I am beginning to wonder if I am too loyal.

oddandelsewhere · 21/12/2023 13:34

Only online purchases count as buys for Kindred membership, so you can spend a lot in the shops but even although they ask for your email address in the shop it doesn't count. It seems a bit counter intuitive given that online buying and returning must cost them more, but that's how it works (I asked at Llandeilo)

faustina · 21/12/2023 13:48

Does anyone have the pull on cord trousers with the massive dropped crotch? How is the sizing?

faustina · 21/12/2023 13:51

@Tremblingmadness - I think it's usually a couple of days for pre-sale access, so Saturday would be the main sale if it starts today for Kindred members

MiracleToast · 21/12/2023 13:51

I am kindred and I didn’t receive a Christmas card ☹️

impressivelycunty · 21/12/2023 14:05

I've got the cord trousers with dropped crotch - I'd say they are easy fit (ie old sizing).

Tremblingmadness · 21/12/2023 14:29

So have gone 50/50.

Cant risk losing my jumper so have paid full price, 🤞🤞🤞that one of the coats I like turns up on Saturday.

faustina · 21/12/2023 14:31

@impressivelycunty - thank you so much, and I love your username!

PretLea · 21/12/2023 14:40

Me neither @MiracleToast , although I moved house recently and updated my address on my account after they would have been posted. So might have gone to the old address, or might not have.

MrsCat1 · 21/12/2023 14:43

@MiracleToast Bearing in mind the state of Royal Mail it may turn up for Easter, so I wouldn't take it personally!

MiracleToast · 21/12/2023 14:44

@MrsCat1 😂 true

@PretLea i hope yours also turns up and new house—how exciting—room for some toast homeware? 😍

Snowyowl78 · 21/12/2023 14:44

@Tremblingmadness normally if you’ve ordered something that immediately after goes into the sale, toast will give you th discount (if you ask)

No1Mousie · 21/12/2023 14:48

Oh @peerie I like the sound of green Alix!

@neveradullmoment99 depending on your approach to risk … you could always try in the washing machine on a hand wash cycle?

PretLea · 21/12/2023 14:52

Absolutely @MiracleToast, looking forward to picking up some bits in this sale!

No1Mousie · 21/12/2023 15:04

@Snowyowl78 @Tremblingmadness yes, they’ve done that for me in the past.

Countmeout · 21/12/2023 15:16

Goodness I went out for vegetables and came back to a flurry of activity. I thought it had started. Panic over.

neveradullmoment99 · 21/12/2023 15:17

What time does it usually start at? Can anyone remember?

MrsCat1 · 21/12/2023 15:20

Well last year I got the early access email at 19.01. So could be some waiting left to do!

Saurus72 · 21/12/2023 15:45

Hmm, I’m at yoga 6-7.15 so that might mean I miss the email. But I’m so frazzled atm that missing the class isn’t an option. Will take my phone and card so I can shop in my car after 😬

lordloveadog · 21/12/2023 17:11

@Countmeout I hope your vegetables included an artichoke to juggle as you browse the probably-sale this evening

BettinaInDenmark · 21/12/2023 17:35

Argh - I cannot access the sale either. Does it require a special link?

Countmeout · 21/12/2023 17:40

We don’t think it’s started yet @BettinaInDenmark
