Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marks-and-spencer-1#post-2394088 Sun, 24 Aug 2025 21:38:47 +0000 Angie 2394088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interestingly, I've recently had items shipped from UK retailers Boden and Pom Pom London to Seattle, WA in the US without a hitch. I got the camisoles last month, and the bag straps last week!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marks-and-spencer-1#post-2394084 Sun, 24 Aug 2025 19:18:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 2394084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I agree cjh, not that it’s related to Marks and Spencer, but I just saw on our news site that this has happened with NZ Post, which is really affecting a small business that sells berets, with 90 percent of its orders coming from the United States. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marks-and-spencer-1#post-2394081 Sun, 24 Aug 2025 16:25:47 +0000 cjh 2394081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>International postal services have paused shipping small purchases to the US due to unknown tariff factors. So perhaps its because international shipping is involved,&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marks-and-spencer-1#post-2394080 Sun, 24 Aug 2025 15:25:24 +0000 Carol 2394080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pirouette--wow, that is a long time! I wonder why this retailer struggles specifically.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marks-and-spencer-1#post-2394074 Sun, 24 Aug 2025 09:15:18 +0000 pirouette 2394074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We had this problem in Ireland for the last few months with online ordering from Marks and Spencer. It had only recently been resolved and online has been restored.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marks-and-spencer-1#post-2394046 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 22:03:01 +0000 Carol 2394046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ket and Angie, thanks for the detailed information!! I thought it would be a quick turnaround, but I can see with the actual dynamics of what hacking is, that it could take a while. Just my luck! Maybe the universe is telling me to watch my wallet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marks-and-spencer-1#post-2394043 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 21:52:50 +0000 Angie 2394043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw the same thing happen to something I put into my basket, <b>Carol</b>. </p> <p>Marks &amp; Spencer is a very reputable company. I'd give them some time to sort things out. Guaranteed, their IT department is extremely stressed about it, and working around the clock to fix things.&nbsp;</p> <p>Apparently there was a cyber attack earlier in the year, and the company closed online orders for 6 weeks! Online ordering is only partially restored at this point. Online ordering has been restored throughout the UK, but not internationally yet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marks-and-spencer-1#post-2394042 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 21:51:34 +0000 Ket 2394042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never experienced this to date with an online retailer. I suppose it's good they're postponing purchases to keep everyone's information safe. On the flip side, really irritating.&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>I do know some cyber attacks can take a while to patch up. Depends on several factors: if there is a ransom (yep, for real), forensic team and investigation time, and other factors. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>My husband works IT in a non retail sector. They had a cyber attack earlier this year. It took a week or more to fix. A cyber forensic company had to be hired and sort through everything first, while IT addressed various facets during and after the forensic investigation. Had it been a cyber attack on say, a bank or power station, the turnaround would likely be much quicker. I'm not sure that level or response or quickness always is true for other types of business.</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marks-and-spencer-1#post-2394032 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 20:38:27 +0000 Carol 2394032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So a few days ago, I posted that I wanted to buy a blue shirt from&nbsp; Marks and Spencer, US. I went ahead and put it in my basket, and over the next couple of days, put a couple more things in there. Then, three days ago, I went to check out, and I got a message that they had experienced a cyber-attack, and so would be postponing online purchases until further notice.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have checked every day, and it is still like that. I cannot take things out of my bag and start over....and I also tried to do the process over on my phone, and got the same message.</p> <p>I suppose the reason I'm unsure is because there were a few hours a couple days ago when things were open again.</p> <p>I am surprised it is taking this long to fix. Has anyone else experienced this?&nbsp; </p>
