hmmm bugger! If anyone gets a size 5 and decided not to keep them can I have them please?!?! [cheeky git emotion]

Lizzylou · 16/09/2009 21:06

I have had an order despatch notice and then, a good few hours later an invoice both via email.

I will have a look at my tracking thingy.

VulpusinaWilfsuit · 16/09/2009 21:09

"Why do office do this?"

  1. They have a crap WebTech work experience in
  1. They are using a marketing technique known, ahem, as Pile It High Sell it Cheap.

OK 150 quid for normal prices will get paid for when people are feeling flush. So presumably in current climate doing a run at a low price is worth it? Especially if they have a backlog before bringing in new stock? 20 quid mark up on 1000 pairs is better than 140 mark up on 150 pairs...

Crapweasel · 16/09/2009 21:12

Lizzy - when did you order please?

navyeyelasH · 16/09/2009 21:21

^ditto^

Lilyloo · 16/09/2009 21:26

Can i be second in line for a size 6 after Noah please if don't fit...

Lizzylou · 16/09/2009 21:30

Crapweasel, it was at about 11.31am, 1 minute after the thread started.
Size 8.

lucykate · 16/09/2009 21:50

just had an email invoice. so i guess that's it then, the boots are oh their way! am going to have to confess to dh now, not that i need his permission or anything, it's just we're a teeny bit skint atm.

shootfromthehip · 16/09/2009 21:51

I missed these last week and yesterday and was really gutted, soooooo DH cam home with a pair for me tonight!!!!

Stupidly expensive buy but I never get anything new and our new cat peed on my only pair of boots so I am happy but a bit that I had to pay full price!!!

Lizzylou · 16/09/2009 21:54

Same here Lucykate, I'm not confessing, just economising on food budget for a while.
Few dried herbs, they'll never know.

Crapweasel · 16/09/2009 22:20

I think I may have snoozed and losed. Won't give up hope just yet though.

chattermouse · 16/09/2009 22:35

He, he, Lucy and Lizzy! Am in the same boat given the amount of boden i have bought this month! I have not tod dp yet. Will wait till they arrive i think! Are you going to wear them and hope dp/dh does not notice that they are new?

I've had invoice too so mine are on the way. Am super pleased and am in lurvvvve with stillfrazzled. I so wanted new boots this winter but wanted new clothes more so spent money on boden. Now i have both thanks to office and frazzled!

lucykate · 16/09/2009 23:03

is still to summer-ish (and i use that term loosely!) for boots though?. i was still wearing flip flops on the school run the other day!

lucykate · 17/09/2009 10:53

actually, forget dh, what am i going to say to my friends?, they're bound to ask where the boots came from, how much etc. they don't know i'm on mn. i can't possibly divulge the fountain of all my wisdom and knowledge of cheap boots

FranSanDisco · 17/09/2009 10:59

It's not looking good for my size 6's that I didn't want but ordered and now really NEED them. Dd's 3' are shipped and I've had an invoice by email. I ordered the 6's about 10 mins later . Oh well Boden have taken all my money so maybe it's for the best [or course it isn't].

Sadiesmum · 17/09/2009 11:13

Size 7's in stock (allegedly)

FranSanDisco · 17/09/2009 11:27

I saw the 7's were still in but I'm a 5.5 so already sized up a bit. I'd look like Coco the Clown if I wore 7's.

lucykate · 17/09/2009 11:29

according to the tack & trace thingy, mine have arrived at the depo and have been sorted.

if they don't fit, am going to read the other thread and see who lost out last time rather than return them.

muddleduck · 17/09/2009 11:33

I missed out on the brown size 5s last time around. My order was cancelled .

I was too late again yesterday

And I tried them on in a real shop yesterday and they are fab

chattermouse · 17/09/2009 12:51

Well, i told dp about the boots last night. He laughed so hard at the image of lizzylou serving her blissfully ignorant dp heavily herbed and spiced baked beans etc that he was too tickled to be anything other than pleased for me. He agreed it was bargainous. I thought he might be a bit cos i've bought so much boden and 2 pairs of uggs lately whilst he has not anything new at all! It is his turn to spoil himself next month i think......

flowerybeanbag · 17/09/2009 13:29

My black £100 pair (bought with the 20% discount they gave me to say sorry for missing the brown ones) have arrived. They fit me and are scrummy.

They will be going straight back once the £40 pair ('rugged' black apparently) arrive.

Lilyloo · 17/09/2009 13:29

Have ordered them in 7 hoping going up a size will fit...
if i get them...

Lizzylou · 17/09/2009 13:34

Chattermouse, believe me, I will have to be very creative with my cooking this month! Felt bit guilty when DH also told me to go out tomorrow night and gave me some money too.......can't wait until this business actually pays me some money so I don't feel like a naughty schoolgirl saving up my lunch money for alcopops

OOH, Lily we can be Fly twins at the school gates!

Lilyloo · 17/09/2009 13:39

Lizzy doubt i will get them or they will fit and can't really afford them so probably a good thing if i don't!

That is what i miss most about not working , contributing :- having my own money!!

Lizzylou · 17/09/2009 13:44

I know, it's awful isn't it, am trying to Ebay some stuff so I don't feel too bad!
