I went to two stores yesterday, I was at the first for 7am and the second around 7.45am. Didn't manage to get any boys jeans or trousers at all. Really disappointing. Got some tops and a coat for my littl boy, but no jeans (the reason for my visit).

Disappointing sale. I received one of the first VIP slots and spent the princely sum of £16 on a bathroom bin. I've not bought much in the way of clothing for a while now, the quality is very poor compared to what it used to be.
I did get a fabulous leather sofa for around £600 in the Christmas sale for one of my rental properties, first time I've bought a sofa from Next, I hope it lasts.

Wow.....I guess the fair thing to do is not vote until closer to the sale starting and give you chance to actually update this thread on what deals you've found.
Right now this is not a deal I can vote on.

Are there many sleepsuits or bodysuits for babies in the sale preview? Trying to decide if it's worth braving going instore or not hmm!
yonyon to sexyskyblue
18 Mar 16#86
Yes there were quite a few sets in girls section but don't know about boys sorry
Can anybody tell me what else there is on sale for the girls?
wellbol to Saima6
17 Mar 16#78
Few long sleeve tops and t shirts, few jeans not many leggings though. Seem to be few outfit sets and shorts on sale and tights depending on size. I would say mostly the basic items on sale but will still be a decent sale in store I would think

17 Mar 16#75
Is the sale looking any good for little boys clothes? Hoping to get some jeans/trousers :smiley:
zoeanne26 to RhiannonB
17 Mar 16#76
Not a lot left online now even though they add stock, you're better off going to store on Saturday morning. I shop online as the nearest store is 30 miles away managed to get some pyjamas and a jacket for my sons

Not many jeans in stock when I looked online earlier but there are a few in the sale. Few hoodies and t-shirts aswell.

Does the preview sale show everything or just a selection?
k_lc to swiftnikki
15 Mar 161#65
Yes it shows everything but what you see in the preview you don't always see when the sale becomes active, this is because staff get to place their orders before the VIP slots.

It's Thursday 5pm earliest?

Even if you qualify for all the criteria, you're not always guaranteed a slot. They only select some customers and it's random.

Its a mid season sale. The big sales in are July and Boxing Day.

@yonyon actually they do. The criteria is on their website. First one is you must have ordered something from the current catalogue then something to do with the amount of stuff you return.

Not necessarily. Yes you have to do this but in addition your account must fulfil eligibility criteria- Next never explain exactly what this is but it is thought that it includes receiving (and paying for) the hard copy directories and not returning more than a certain % of purchases.
Just wanted to clarify in case people thought they could change their account settings and be guaranteed a vip invite.
As for the sales, Next do 4 a year -2 large ones at the end of July and Boxing Day which normally start in store at 5am, plus two smaller mid season ones in March and September which start on a Saturday at 7am in stores. It's the same pattern every year. Vip invitations are shown on accounts and sent by email normally the Monday or Tuesday prior to a Saturday start for the in store sale and you can 'book' your sale slot which is normally an hour (but sometimes longer) which allows you to order sale items prior to the official online start that Saturday. Once you've booked your sale slot you can browse the preview to see what you may want to buy once your slot is live. Slots normally start at 5pm on the Wednesday.
srobbo180
10 Mar 16#35
Seriously, all you need to do is go into your account settings and make sure that you have ticked the box that allows Next to send you email notifications and you will get the invite email.

what's vip
sidurr to Langania1
10 Mar 16#34
They send email invites and time slots to selected customers for sale preview and then you can buy stuff as well before the actual sale starts. That's what I heard but never had an invite myself.

Stand by for all our overseas friends with full rails of clothes on the floor while they decide what they want as staff stand by to watch.Stopped shopping at next for men's clothes a few years back due to boring cheaply made products .Always amazed how they manage to announce huge profits when other than sales days the shop are empty.

I work at next but never buy anything even during the sales. Our store is so small that our first pick is pointless.
