Still nothing........

Usually quite quick- what about anyone else?

Ordered same time as you, had dispatch email on Sat and it came on Monday. Sure you haven't had a card thru?

E mail said despatched saturday, nothing yet...

MrsAMoose · 07/07/2010 12:26

I placed first order on Thursday night and received it yesterday (to Northern Ireland) and placed another order on Friday (felt so ordered stuff for DH and DC too ) and it hasn't arrived yet.
Was gutted at first order - ordered 11 things and am returning 10!

Oumasrusks · 07/07/2010 12:27

I ordered on Thurs afternoon, received an email on Friday and it was delivered on Monday. It was sent via Home Delivery Network. When they've sent me stuff through Royal Mail before it's taken ages as I think it's sent using second class.

Mumsnut · 07/07/2010 12:29

yes! by royal mail

domesticsluttery · 07/07/2010 12:30

I ordered on Thursday, had a dispatch email on Saturday and it came by courier on Monday.

teta · 07/07/2010 12:49

I ordered on thursday and it was delivered this morning.This is my first ever order and most of it is awful!.The jeans have no lycra in them [?].The merino tunics are cheap and itchy and unflattering.The only item that looks ok is the leaf print tunic!.The quality does not justify the prices tbw.

topsi · 07/07/2010 13:20

nothing yet I ordered on Friday

MrsC2010 · 07/07/2010 14:11

Nothing, no despatch email either so not too impressed so far. They're usually great so giving them the benefit of the doubt. I did call early and is still being processed apparently, although they said if it was in stock when I ordered it shouldn't be a problem.

Millie1 · 07/07/2010 14:14

Mine has just arrived ... shall have to try some bits on soon but already I know the sandals will be going back - couldn't even walk across the kitchen without feeling them pinching my foot.

PestoEatsPasties · 07/07/2010 14:20

I ordered on Friday, nowt

domesticsluttery · 07/07/2010 14:21

I really like the merino tunics teta!

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 07/07/2010 14:22

Mine were delivered today, I ordered on Wednesday and Thursday. The dresses are a little saggy around my stomach, otherwise they fit well. There's also a tag saying 100% silk on a cotton dress

Wheelybug · 07/07/2010 14:31

I ordered 4.30 ish on Thurs - despatch email friday, still not arrived although have had a card through today although am waiting for a number of deliveries (Also, it said it was tracked RM and I don't think Boden stuff is tracked).

MInd you, is only a dress each for the dds (although think the satchel is waiting wrapped upstairs for my birthday next wk !) .

kittya · 07/07/2010 15:14

Got my email today so will expect it Friday. One thing they are good at is delivering. I only spent for the sake of it though, Ive sent loads of stuff back this season. I wish I had bought the straight leg jeans as they always look nice. Shoes never, ever fit except the plimsolls. Ordered a cropped cardi, like I do every year and, for a change the boyfriend cardi. It wasnt very inspiring was it? and, still bloody expensive!!

FranSanDisco · 07/07/2010 15:19

I placed 3 orders and have 2 via courier. Royal mail parcel outstanding but it has been despatched according to email. I have sent a couple of things back - plims for ds were far too small (34) though he is wearing boden size 33 at the moment . I am happy with the rest so far.

teta · 07/07/2010 15:53

Domestic Sluttery i ordered 3 in different colours and only tried on the navy [as i have had a major water-leak crisis today].Maybe i should try on the others before i give up.The navy looked horrible on and it was itchy[i am allergic to wool] and the material was very rough and cheap looking.But i will give them the benefit of the doubt and try on the pink and periwinkle ones.The jeans had absolutely no lycra in them and were skin-tight.Is this the latest fashion?.

Lastyearsmodel · 07/07/2010 16:01

Ordered Thursday night, emailed Saturday, delivered by HDN Monday. Bag is lovely and had wanted to order stuff for DP but always v disappointed by men's stuff - DP just wouldn't wear it.

domesticsluttery · 07/07/2010 16:31

I'm wearing the Indigo/Navy one today and mine isn't itchy, but then I'm not allergic to wool. I have also got the Pink one. They are flattering on me, but then perhaps it depends on your body shape.

I had the same problem with the denim capris as you had with the jeans, no stretch and so they were too small around my calves

teta · 07/07/2010 17:02

Nope the other colours look as bad!.The shape just looks really mumsy on me - maybe because i have broad shoulders and i need a lower neckline.I think i will order another leaf tunic as they are back in stock.

domesticsluttery · 07/07/2010 17:06

Perhaps I'm just mumsy...

teta · 07/07/2010 21:09

No.... I am just fat [and mumsy!]obviously Boden is not designed for the likes of me.I actually have better results with White Stuff.[My 5 year old is reading this over my shoulder] and asking me questions!.

Bobbalina · 07/07/2010 22:04

Ordered Friday evening, arrived today. Wide leg jeans are hugely unflattering and sumptuous leather bag in purple looks cheap. Will be going back.
