    Had stuff in my basket at least 3 times this morning, and each time I went to buy it said 'sizes were unavailable' and all gone!

    Where do you enter the code?
    I'm looking at the Kid's section, says at the top of the screen Kids Sale Preview - enter code.. - but all the prices are normal and code doesn't work in the checkout..

    https://www.marksandspencer.com/ie/l/offers/50-off-sale-preview/kids
    I received and e-mail about this earlier and haven't seen a thread on it.

    Up to 50% off and the code is SNEAKPEEK .

    The code needs to be entered at checkout. It worked for me on a a selection of womenswear, lingerie and home items. The items have to be chosen from the sale preview link, as not all items are on sale.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 845 ✭✭✭what the hell!


    Anyone else not working when you go to checkout? Just saying 'something went wrong' and return to homepage.

    I swore I’d never shop their sales online again. On more than one occasion I have spent hours shopping and stocking up and then to check out it comes back unavailable. Fair enough I can understand this can happen ,-however even after I have checked out and paid for the items and received confirmation emails, I have received emails from them days later saying several items you have purchased are out of stock however we will send you the rest of the order. What a pain.
    Anyways rant over ;-)

    even with 50% off, stuff seems expensive. Their website can't deal with sales and stock control quickly enough


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,849 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Just checked there. It's still working for me!

    It didnt work on my mobile, but order went through fine with I ordered on my laptop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,145 ✭✭✭✭Caranica


    I can't check out. Tried WiFi, fixed Internet and data. IE, Chrome and Samsung browser, even incognito windows. Guest and account.

    This was happening on Monday when I almost paid full price. Reported it and it's still happening today. I fill in all the payment details and I get a message to complete all the boxes with asterisks, they're already full. Deleted and re completed. Still nothing. So frustrating

    Everything I go to purchase it tells me has been removed from my basket as it's sold out. When I go back and look they are all still marked in stock. There are kids items in the sale, is it only ladies items that this applies to?

    What a stupid stupid website. I just bought the 3 items I wanted after much hassle.

    First time I had wanted to collect them from Liffey Valley- it said it wasn't available as a store to collect from anymore.

    I then tried buying the items and having them delivered, many times when i hit 'Purchase' it would say they were out of stock and had been removed from my basket.

    I then broke the order down into two parts, 2 t-shirts and a jacket and set them for collection from Liffey Valley. Both orders went through.

    What browser did you use?

    It is kids things too but this happens every time with their website, it's just crap. Even if you get an order in they're likely to cancel items later, they just don't seem to keep track of stock levels well at all

    Chrome.

    WELCOME10 gave me a 10% discount - I dont know if this can be combined with the other code (what I wanted wasn't included in the sale).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40 tbabit


    Thanks for the code, got it to work eventually after using explorer, chrome wouldn't accept my credit card.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭Icsics


    Such a poor sale, very limited colours & sizes

    The previews for sparks club members in the UK hoovers up a lot of the good stuff in advance unfortunately.

    Yes, but quite a limited sale, often just one colour on sale & usually 'out of stock'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,013 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    Well after all the hassle of trying to order online I managed to get a few items. The hassle didn't stop there though. Went to collect them and they couldn't find it so was told to come back. Went and did some shopping and they had found one of the two. It seemed I wasn't alone either as a good few others were being told theirs couldn't be found. My phone number was taken and was told I'd be called when it was ready to collect. The next day I had no phone call, went around lunch and was given the second parcel.

    Worth the hassle though as my two year old loved the few items I got her.

    I browsed though sale items and nothing I wanted was in stock. Then went into a branch of m & s and shelves were full of exactly what I was looking at online.
    They are not going toast long if their stock control systems don't work and why advertise a sale if nothing is available?

    Had the exact same experience. A dress I'd had my eye on was completely sold out in all sizes in the online sale but went into the shop a few days later and almost every size was available in store!

    Makes sense though.
    The reason for the sale is likely to clear seasonal stock.
    Sizes unavailable show it's done its job online in their warehouses.
    It just shows how the high Street stores are impacted by online shopping.
