i don't think anyone does a factory clearance sale anywhere but from their factory/DC. the fact that they're shifting the stock from capricorn in the southern suburbs to this sale in the northern suburbs actually means they're not totally unreasonable.

Also Darling Brew.

Hi Stretch, 

 

It is not financially viable for us to do a sale anywhere else but CT as our stock all sits down here at our factory. Transporting it up to another province and finding a venue is very difficult and too expensive for us. We did a sale in JHB two years ago but it was very expensive and we cannot justify it. We apologise for that, we hope you understand.

ha ha...like those sales are financially viable in the first place! I have to go via SAPS to get police clearance everytime i leave with a big bag of fA stuff.

So is it a combined Capestorm and First Ascent sale,same day same place? That's gonna be madness, not forgetting the fleamarket as well.

As long as you guys stay away from the ladies bibshorts, everything will be fine.

Yes, it is a combined sale. We have the biggest venue we have ever used and will manage the "chaos" as much as possible. We suggest you get there early to get in the queue

Definitely not, we have a full range of all sizes but also remember, those are the sizes that get taken first so be quick

Are you able to give an example of sale prices.

I see in 2011 bibs went for 150 and shorts R100, but that was back in 2011...how will the prices look now??

Agreed! Why not extend the clearance sale to the online store? I would also happily pay postage.

Too much admin.

 

Two years (i think) back when we were at one in the southern suburbs it was chaos. Clothing every where and people running around grabbing stuff just to have something and then realizing they don't want it and putting it down some where else.

I wonder how early i should go hhhmmm....6:00 or 6:30??
