wifes got an M&S dressing gown on her christmas list but its been out of stock to buy online for ages. ive tried putting in the 'find in store' underneath the 'notify me' (which ive also done) but theres none in any of the stores either nearby or where other friends and family live. all ive been able to see so far is a few in London.
its this one, in GREEN and size LARGE. (ive tried capitalizing the GREEN and LARGE but the edit still shows up as small letters)
so..... if anyone would care to check if its in their local store and would buy and send it me, i'll bank transfer the wedge over inc postage of course.
might be worth checking this post just before buying if you do actually find one, just to make sure i havent sourced one yet so i'll update this if i do manage to get one.
hopeful thanks in advance.
nothing near me but showing as in stock in Solihull or Birmingham if anyone ventures there?
I’ll be in Southampton tomorrow afternoon. The West Quay store currently has large green dressing gowns in stock. If they still have them tomorrow, I’ll happily pick one up for you.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that. And please do check on here first to make sure it hasn't been sorted in the meantime. Cheers
Sadx lanacasters showing low stock, I m going in 30 mins u want me to buy one
Yes please!
Sorry sold out lancaster
Ah balls. Thanks for trying tho mate 🙂
My niece works there. Ive asked if she's able to source.....
Thanks Jamie, much appreciated. Could you update on here please if you have any success in case somebody else sorts me out first?
Thank you very much
There doesn’t appear to be the option to check stock at other stores now. Perhaps every store is out of stock?
I’ll still check the Southampton store tomorrow

@temudgin the button appears to be back now, and showing low stock in southampton west quay?
fingers crossed 🙂
Success!
They only had one left and it’s location took some hunting by the shop assistant, but it is now in my possession.
pm me your address and I’ll get it to the post office tomorrow.
Damn! I love STW for things like this!

Does this shopping service also find gifts for partners who "don't really want anything really?"

oh mate, you beauty!!
thank you soooooooo much for your help.
ive messaged you my details. i dont think notifications work so youll just have to go straight into your messages i guess
thanks again mate!
@sadexpunk The gown is at the post office 48hr tracked delivery.
I’m unable to reply to the message on my phone, as my message text is white on a white background! I’ll try again in a day or two when I have access to a pc.
@temudgin hi mate. are you saying you cant see my PM yet as thats where i left my details? i guess not if its already at post office and that you managed to get my name and address.
i also asked for your bank details and how much it all comes to. if you cant read the messages on here, maybe try emailing me at my username at gmail dot com.
thanks again mate, much appreciated.
@sadexpunk this thread has persuaded me to renew my subscription! I had let it lapse but the strength of this forum is in its humanity and the way people can ask for, and receive, help from strangers for the most random request! Brilliant.
awwww..... im chuffed that me and (especially) @temudgin have also helped STW out in a small way, thats great.
cheers
well despite temudgins valiant efforts, royal mail have only gone and lost it havent they!! 🤬 🤬 🤬

in GREEN and size large.
i guessed at a few locations and can see 3 shops in london, and one in solihull, but probably more effective if you can check your own local store.
thank you
None in Chesterfield, however Royal Mail are struggling at the moment, Screwfix use them and boxes of stuff is going missing and then turning up later!
There’s hope.
I don’t doubt that it will arrive…eventually, it’s just rather worrying to see that the tracking hasn’t changed since I posted it on Tuesday.
M&S do seem to be getting more stock online, but at the moment still no green dressing gowns in large.
Well done @sadexpunk for buying presents early, rather than leaving it to the last minute like I always seem to do each year!

UPDATE!! just checked again this morning and theres progress!! expected delivery this week.
oh ye of so little faith (thats me that is)
thank you all, and especially @temudgin, i'll confirm when its in my grubby hands.
Has it arrived yet? Can we stop whittling?
it did indeed! apologies, i emailed @temudgin to let him know, but forgot to update this thread.
it came a day earlier than RM told me it would which meant my wife took it in, but some ninja 'contents replacement' while she was back at work meant that when i 'opened' it in front of her it was just some innocuous clothing for me that id 'forgotten about'. she is none the wiser and will hopefully be a happy bunny on christmas morn.
thank you all very much for your help and concern. stw is indeed a lovely place, the perfect antidote to the world outside.
cheers
