im in the market for a new three peice suite and dining table. am i best to wait for the january sales or buy now before the vat goes up?

with the VAT you are talking £25 extra on a £1000 purchase, i am sure you could talk them around that without an issue, I would wait

January sales?
DFS?

Isn't every day Sale day at DFS?

12 week delivery lead times at DFS as they have to poorly make the sofas in China and ship them over

Nothing says failure quite like a DFS sofa. Trust me, I'm sitting on one right now!

At least wait until after Wednesday when they'll have been on Watchdog!

Try CSL, no complaints about them and I found them cheaper than DFS (Dump Furniture Store)

And they have funky little wireless tablets on them to put the sales through.

They also, for a donation of £10 take your old sofa away for you, recondition it and give it to the British Heart Foundation for either their hospices' or charity shops.

Another vote for CSL, I ordered my sofa on Thursday last week and could of had it delivered on Saturday at a cost of £15. I decided to get it delivered yesterday for free instead. Cheaper than DFS, nice range of sofas and they do the order on a Samsung Q1, while your sat on the showroom sofa of the one you ordered. They gave me a 4 hour time slot for delivery on the day and rang me half an hour before coming.

Edit: Another charity thing, they are collecting for Macmillan at the moment and will match whatever is donated.

I hope you didn't opt for one of their quick delivery Chinese Leather suites? If so, check in between the cushions as the leather cracks very quickly.

I looked at one in store and was ready to buy until I stuck my hand in between the cushions and saw the cracked leather. The sales guy tried fobbing me off saying it had been there a while (even though it was a new range)... I told him not as long as it would spend in my house and that if he was confident it wouldn't crack, throw in a free guarantee. Needless to say he didn't and i walked away

You'll find a lot companies have already increased their prices buy the 2.5% already, so in Jan they'll be doing the ''same prices as 2010'' sales, when not really loosing money.
