This time lights, buy the bundle for £29.99
Or buy them individually rear for £3.99 and the Front for £14.99
Why do they do this??
They just make a mistake, like you have linking to two rear lights 😉
Be quick, you've still got time to amend it.
Where is my mistake? 😜
😆
Even buying non sale and non bundle price is cheaper by 1p 🤣
I found issues last year with a bundle offer. They were showing the fork anything type cages with large bags as out of stock despite the fact that individually they were in stock. I emailed them, they came straight back said I could order the individual items I wanted and they'd refund the extra cost of doing it hat way. I wasn't entirely confident it would happen but within a couple of hours I had the order confirmation and a refund of the cost difference.
To be fair I've seen similar on Alpkit
Pricing aside, those rear lights are pretty good.
Why do you think it’s an error?
Gets the gullible person who thinks the combined price must be cheaper.
They make an extra penny for selling the same thing

It's "cheaper" if set against their claimed RRPs, but who on earth ever pays RRP at PX?
I think it's simply the random and overlapping "sales" and deals catching out the backend of the operation.
Don't forget the postage costs when deciding if it's a true bargain. A Ten quid helmet from PX cost me £14 once I added postage the other day (reasonable enough) but if I added a £5 rear light the weight/item qty(?) bumped the cheapest postage up to £7 (more than the light was priced, effectively 50% of the order value) and sort of knackered the "savings" I only really needed a cheap helmet, so I binned the light...
Didn't they used to do free postage over ~£30 spend? Now it's something like £100 isn't it?... Such a random outfit these days.
What's that proverb about never assuming malice when incompetence is more likely?
Ah, it's Hanlon's Razor.

I've got that rear light and apart from only cheap USBs fitting the charger (my expensive usb ones are to big and won't stay in place) it's a really good light and has worked through 2 winters with no issues.
A bargain for £3.99
Why do they do this??
Because they are a bunch of muppets. Pretty much like the Trotters Independant Trading of cheap bike tat.
I’ve found a proper bargain on there! These cranks - https://www.planetx.co.uk/c/q/components/drivetrain/crank-sets
Reduced from £500! How do they do it?? 😂
Must be the solid gold version🤣
Ohhh a Planet-X thread, has it been 5 minutes already?
You’ve got to hand it to them, some days there are three threads on the front page of the bike forum.
