next homeware

[annie0000]

Does anyone happen to know if the Next shops (homeware stuff) have more designs available than you can buy in the directory?

TIA

There's a lot more stuff available online than there is in store. Think you have to open an account but if you found what you wanted they could order it in for you in the store.

you can order it online to be collected from your local store

[EvianBaby]

Do you still have to set up an account with them to do that?

[ojread2]

not sure, Evian, I already have one

No, I dont think you do

"If you are a credit/debit card customer you will have the option of having your order delivered to the store if you place your order online at www.next.co.uk. A full card payment will be required."

[EvianBaby]

Oh that's good. I used to never be able to order online from Next because my credit rating was dire and they wouldn't give me an account (event though I wanted to pay on debit card).

[EvianBaby]

You still have to open an account and it carries out a credit check on you. You can't just go and order and pay like normal sites. That's rubbish! :(

there is a homeware next shop here and its rubbish, i would hope there is a lot more choice on line

[annie0000]

Aww - I was hoping the opposite :o(

we've just had our bathrooms done and I bought blinds in next sale last year. One of them we love and is now pride of place in the bathroom - the other was just plain and for our en-suit but the colour doesn't quite match and to be honest the room could do with a little more interest, OH says just get another of those other ones - I explained to him that I cant do that anymore!! There is nothing in the current range of blinds that I like but I do like one of the curtain designs and I saw someone on ebay selling a blind in the same pattern but the wrong size. So I wondered if I traveled to one of the home stores whether they would maybe have some different ones. I cant find anything else I like anywhere at a reasonable price - getting one custom made is really really expensive!!

bum, I cant see why you cant call them and pay by debit card wihtout opening an a/c? Seems very unfair

Annie, try and ifnd a store near you that sells homewares as well. If they dont do what you;re after, they'll order it in for you via the shop

I haven't got a Next account (I think they may have even laughed when I applied!) but have ordered stuff from the website before, I just paid on my card rather than having an account. When you go through to the payment screen it just said sorry you can't have an account, but you can pay by debit / credit card.

[EvianBaby]

But it still carries out a credit check on you before you get the option to do that. I think that sucks big time!

[EvianBaby]

I should say I didn't get as far as finding that out because I didn't want it to do a credit check.

[annie0000]

oj - do you mean they can order stuff that isn't in the directory? Might be worth the trip then. :o) - or do I just order the only one that kinda goes?!? Hmmmm - tried finding the other one on ebay but although I can get same design it's the wrong size.

[ojread2]

Yeah, if you go to a Next store that sells homeware, they will order anything they dont stock, inc stuff from the website
Not sure if it works for just the clothing stores but even thats worth a call :-)

thanks again oj - I've put a post with the choices in Home & Garden/Interiors if anyone fancies giving me an opinion :o)
