Debenhams sale continues: shoppers crash site to get to the stock clearance sale
Debenhams is having to queue visitors to the website as they clear stock
After announcing collapse of the chain on Tuesday, bargain hunters have crashed the Debenhams website in a bid to grab items in the clearance sale. While set to end their Cyber Monday sale at midnight on Monday, news quickly followed that the chain would be going in to administration.
Sale items remained and the huge number of visitors to the site means those wanting a deal will be put in a virtual queue.
The queue is about 10 minutes as it stands, though you will need to be patient with the site when you get on as traffic could slow its functionality. All 124 Debenhams stores in the UK are set to close, meaning that despite shops reopening physically today, many people are keeping their sales snooping online.
We are sad to see the end of this British department store which, for us, was always a convenient one stop shop for fashion, beauty, perfume and homewares. Now these items are all on sale, with Christmas shoppers finding bargains for family and friends, as well as Christmas decorations and tableware. You can even snap up some extra bargains online with our Debenhams discount codes.

Hi! I'm Annie, and I'm the Head Ecommerce Editor at Real Homes. I've been part of the Real Homes team since 2018, when I joined as Deals Editor. Along with covering major sales events — from Black Friday to Amazon Prime Day — I review home must-haves so that you can buy with peace of mind. Mostly focusing on home fragrance and sleep, as well as a few vacuum cleaners, I've tested pretty much every item you can think of that you need in your home. I live on the outskirts of the city in a two-bed apartment with my husband and my pug, Doug. So I am always searching for compact alternatives and ways to save floor space. What about when I am not typing away? Well, you'll find me enjoying an iced coffee (no matter the season) and trying out the latest brunch spots the city has to offer, or booking my next holiday. Where else can you find my words? Livingetc, Homes & Gardens, Ideal Home, Gardeningetc, and Woman & Home.
