(the poly bag inside some other sort of packaging, I mean - not on its own)

Mumsnut · 25/01/2010 13:30

Everything I ordered is now gone - should I be smug, or face the fact that most of it will never arrive owing to warehouse chaos?

(OK, the sequin waistcoat IS still in stock, but I only want it for a fancy dress do, honest ...)

EleanoraBuntingCupcake · 25/01/2010 14:03

archive sale! what a load of ponces. 'old over priced crap that we could flog the first couple of time sale' more like

MadameOvary · 25/01/2010 15:19

Oh I see you beat me to it
I bought a merino sweater dress and some cotton cashmere undies and nighties.
this coat was £275 reduced to £74.

vesela · 25/01/2010 17:24

bump to see if anyone can help re. my returns question above - do I need to send them in the box?

It was sent out on 7th Jan so I should get on to it!

vesela · 25/01/2010 17:27

bit bad to hold on to a sale item for so long, but I tried it on again and thought I liked it, then tried it on a third time and thought, no, this cardi is never going to amount to anything...

oldenglishspangles · 25/01/2010 17:36

Gutted I missed everything especially the saddle back and andalucian boot

oldenglishspangles · 25/01/2010 17:37

bag even. bet half of it ends up on ebay at over the odds. Reminds me of hunting for hamsters before xmas!

dexter73 · 25/01/2010 17:45

vesela - why don't you phone them up and ask if they need you to send the box back.

EleanoraBuntingCupcake · 25/01/2010 18:08

fret not these fabulous trews are still available in all sizes for some mysterious reason

MadameOvary · 25/01/2010 18:11

EleanoraBuntingCupcake - even the model looks embarrassed to be wearing those!

Flightattendant · 25/01/2010 18:21

I would not worry about box, Vesela...I have sent loads of things back without boxes from Boden etc, they don't mind unless it is a specially delicate thing or like a heavy coat, boots etc. which would need its shape...basically if they could have sent it and retained its shape in a bag, you can return it in a bag.

(do not bollock me if I am wrong!!)

It does make you think, if they can reduce something from £345 to £69 then what was the actual markup originally? iyswim...

Flightattendant · 25/01/2010 18:22

Oldenglish what size are you?

MadameOvary · 25/01/2010 18:43

Oh yes I know the Andalucian boots were gorgeous. Been looking for a pair like that in the sale, but they were sold out hours ago, prob only had a few.

Flightattendant · 25/01/2010 18:46

MO if you got that coat in a 10/12 and you are a size 42, i may swap you

they seemed to have a lot of the boots in a 42 earlier. Tis rare to be grateful for big feet.

faustina · 25/01/2010 18:51

everything in my basket had gone by the time I could pay for it. The andalucian boots were lovely - so were the riding boots

MadameOvary · 25/01/2010 18:52

Flight - sadly no I am a 39! Thanks anyway though.
That coat was in stock earlier in a 10, but I have so many coats it would have been silly to buy yet another one!

Flightattendant · 25/01/2010 18:54

I know what you mean,

I had the coat in my basket and paid and it had gone but did order a tweed one earlier, which is going back I think as too ££

do not tell the folk on the buy nothing thread btw

I have just had a pay rise and am 'celebrating'..

MadameOvary · 25/01/2010 19:14

Congrats on the rise Flight
As for that other thread, I could not show my face on it, would be too
So your secret is safe with me

Flightattendant · 25/01/2010 19:16

I am going to have to go and fess up.

oldenglishspangles · 25/01/2010 19:23

EleanoraBuntingCupcake thanks for that but have to agree with Madameovary!

oldenglishspangles · 25/01/2010 19:26

Flightattendant 42 - sasquatch feet

Flightattendant · 25/01/2010 19:27

Me or you??
!

if you, I will sell you my andalucians if they are wrong on me.

oldenglishspangles · 25/01/2010 19:35

Me ....but if the boot fits
Would definitely be interested. Will watch this thread with bated breath - hoping of course they fit you well

Flightattendant · 25/01/2010 19:45

Ah that's cool.

I'll see what they're like, am very fussy with boots! Ordered the blundstones as well which are more 'me', probably

Oh and some silver high heels, ha ha
I need them for a christening though!
