Chris Willemse Cycles Online: BLACK FRIDAY SALE

[Mojoman]

Thursday later afternoon on CWC web site. Click Add to Cart ... aaaand the site bombs. Try again, site dead. Refresh, refresh, refresh ... cannot add product to my cart. Message CWC Online here on BH to try and find a workaround. 

 

No reply yet. It's been 4 days.

 

Friday morning and my better half manages to buy same product (sunglasses). Just delivered and it's clear hers was a shop demo: well-used cardboard case, coated in fingerprints and load of glue (from price sticker?) on one arm. 

 

 

Luckily it seems all complete and free of (micro) damage. My understanding is that the sale items are/were new, not shop demo, used or soiled. This falls a little short of expectations CWC. 

I recently bought some water bottle cages that had been damaged by liquid, granted they were cheapies but I expected a new and undamaged product....on my last order my lock on grips arrived without screws, obviously taken and used elsewhere....not stellar service these days compared to days gone by in my opinion....Just ordered some cheap sunnies and a BB....hopefully all will be fine or its the last time for me and CWC....a lot of online choice out there these days...its not only about the price....

looking hard for something to buy (i actually budgeted for this BF)... yet to find anything at a GREAT price.

in fairness .... looking at the replies ....

 

- a few people did get some nice deals 

 

- a few more were out of luck as the real deals sold out quickly ....

 

 

 

its the nature of the beast .... there must be a profit margin ... you can only sell so many things at cost .... the rest is just good marketing .....

2.35.... so you can push your limits

 

So I could not act on this, because I saw it too late, having left for a long weekend holiday and of course Telkom signal did not play nice, so network access was pretty much non-existent until today...

Great deal though and I definitely missed out! :-(

 

Will definitely keep an eye out and pick them up if on special again.

 

Thanks for the great deal on the Mezcals I manage to pick up though :-)
