Hi Susan, how's you ? If you click on the terms & conditions at the bottom (http://www.nextdirectory.eu/help/terms.asp?flg=1 ) it says ..........
Delivery
Home delivery is €15.00 per order and will be despatched within 7 - 10 working days, subject to availability of the products you have ordered.
Returns
Simply return any unused item within 28 days of receipt for a full refund of the price of the goods (provided it is in a new, unused condition).

You can return your items via your chosen method using the returns label on the reverse of your delivery note. Postage must be paid by the sender and will not be refunded by Next.
You'd need to make sure you REALLY want what you order, wouldn't you ?

Hi
Yes you would need to be sure. I suppose it's good for people who regularly shop in Next and know exactly what size they need because they will be used to the cut of their clothes.It's probably okay for kids clothes because if in doubt you just size up and they can grow into it. I am still not sure if I would trust it being delivered to my door though.You would need a reliable address.
Susan

Amazingly though some will do almost anything for NEXT stuff. They had a sale here recently & local paper took a photo of queues at 4am !! Now that's SAD  .

Never saw the attraction in the NEXT sale but know plenty of people who do including one who does queue. Probably because most of their sizes are too small for me but OH used to be a huge NEXT fan. He has now converted to Zara, Spain's own chain, and spends vast amounts in there instead, usually in Spain because there is more choice. Again too small for me except for one bargain skirt that had an elasticated waist.
Still trying to find a chain that supplies the larger lady!! Buy a lot from M&S in France (not Marks) but not yet found a similar in Spain. Have been to H&M but any suggestions welcome on local chains. Nice to have something different!
Whilst on clothes etc. Is it just me or does anyone else think most of the shoes in Spain are small? Taking size 42 (7/8) I rarely find shoes to fit me.

My wife was a manager at Next when we were in the UK,she used t have to go in at 1am when the sales were on,Mcdonald used to open up especially early for the people waiting in the queue!!!!!!
The good thing is the staff used to get first dibs on what was in the sale..........

I used to work in the stockroom in Next when I was a student. The earliest I had to make it in for was 5am. I remember one year, starting work at 5am and doing the sale and that evening I flew out to meet Justin in Gibraltar where he got the hump with me as I was too tired to go out!! He had obviously never been to a Next sale before.
Yes, it was great getting first dibs, I remember filling a big box full of stuff.

Do they still make staff pay for their uniform? I remember a couple of people who worked for them years ago who told me that they had to wear stuff from the latest ranges and pay for them too (at a discount of course)

Oh dear, Sonia, I'm an 8 (I'm in the UK.. in the c--o--l--d  ) However, I find I need to buy from catalogues here, rather than a shop, so no better here.

Sonia El you are not alone, spanish shoes are teeny and why is it that they only put size 37s on display? I feel like a right Mrs Bigfoot when I go to the counter asking for a size 39 or shock, horror (the reaction in the staff's faces) a size 40!!! Even when the length is okay I nearly always find the shoes too narrow. and in the summer I get a very pretty overspill on the sides of the sandals.
With regards to clothes at a UK size10/12 you would think that I wouldn't have a problem but in Zara even a large in tops is sometimes on the limit and I find it really tricky to get trousers to suit my pear shape. I often wonder what curvy ladies do for clothes. I know that in La Cañada shopping centre in Marbella there is Evans and Wallis that go up to an 18 but I don't know of any Spanish chains.

Not a huge fan of Evans clothes and luckily have choice of other chains in UK. BUT Evans shoes are lovely and wide. Only discovered them last year and it was such joy to actually find something in my size, that was fashionable and didn't pinch. Unfortunately their boots are still too small around my extra large calves.
Zara clothes are tiny. My daughter is size 12 and buys their large. Even OH who is a medium has to buy their large men's sizes. At least I can buy from Zara home!! Got a nice handbag in my local shop's sale - down from £89 to £19.
