[Closed] PSAish- Are the prices on Oakley.com a bit on the cheap side at the moment.....

or it could be that the actual cost of the product is so low that they can afford to, looking upon it as a way to keep customers buying their stuff at proper prices 🙂

Wow... wish I'd hit the 'purchase' button on the two pairs I'd spec'd up... are you really getting these for free?? amazing! 😡 8)

Got the 2nd email from Oakley too but I read it as explaining the payment process?? if account showing as process they still have to charge you and make the glasses... and sounds like if they have already charged you they charged the full amount and will refund you??

Sure will all become clear soon 🙂

[b]If your order is in Process[/b]
If you have not been charged for your order, we are working diligently to get all orders built and shipped as soon as possible. Once completed, your order will be delivered at no cost to you.

In light of the obvious balls-up, I don't think for a minute they'd try and fob people off with a cleverly worded email. As far as I can tell, that sounds pretty clear to me: They're sending me 250-quids-worth of pimp-ass jawbones AT NO FRICKIN COST!!! WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO!

aah this is my email:

[b]If your order is in Process[/b]
If you have not been charged for your order, we are working diligently to get all orders built and shipped as soon as possible. Once completed, [u]your order will be delivered at no cost to you[/u].

only means [u]delivered[/u] at no cost to me...

The email also says that they will be refunding those that have been charged. If you look at their facebook page you'll see the backlash to the credit card errors.

I think all orders are free.

Well if free even bigger bonus 🙂

Interesting developments..
We will see..
J.

Aaaargh... where's my time machine?? 😡 😡 😡

Defo free. My card has 2 pre auths in error. Got this e mail this am.

Hi Dave,

Apologies for the pre-auth’s looking confusing, this was the added complication due to the pricing problems we experienced. These will expire in due course as when your order ships to you it will be at £0.00.

Have a good day, best regards.

Mark

Thank you for being a loyal Oakley fan.

If I get a free pair of sunglasses I'll be a fan for life 🙂

DAMNIT 👿

Just confirmed with Oakley - free! They had my custom already as they had been great in the past, why go anywhere else now!!!

my natwest account still has 2 debit card transactions of £285 and £245 plus a test payment of £1.00

this whole thing has been a bit

😀 🙁 😀 👿 🙄 😀 😕

I think I'd have to question how many 'Oakley fans' ordered against people looking to take advantage of a balls up to get a pair of glasses they'd not have bothered with otherwise

Never owned a pair of Oakley shades in my life, and took advantage of the balls up. Well chuffed Thanks.

why do you have to be an Oakley fan to take advantage?

people in taking advantage shocker?

how many people who buy a pair which may be now gratis, will not look elsewhere next time they need a pair? thus creating a big bunch of lifetime customers?

Because Barney has a stak of overpriced glasses already dirtyrider, he feels more deserving of the opportunity to take advantage. 🙄

like this guy on facebook?

Hi Oalkey Europe, is it true that the orders placed between Tues 26th-Fri 29th July are completely free of charge? So no shippingcosts and free glasses? If that's true, what do you do for the customers who didn't place an order in that period?

Placed the order last week - Well chuffed

Got cancellation email - Well pissedoff, not impressed with Oakley

Got email this morning - I want to find the wonderfully named Mark Wilderspin and give him a big kiss. Very impressed with Oakley.

I've probably had 5 or 6 pairs of Oakleys over the years, so always been a fan, but the cost of some prevented me buying. I'd have been more than happy at 93 quid, at FOC I'm over the moon!

+1

Loyalty is a 2 way thing, by doing this Oakley have turned a screw-up into a PR coup and made some people very happy and more predisposed to use them in the future. They should be commended for this as it seems out of the norm these days.

if the glasses are as good as people claim they are and they're comfy enough for me to wear for 24 hours straight, then I reckon I'll become a fan.

If I lose/break them I'll probably replace them with another pair. If they're good that is.

Wow! You're quite far up your own anus

Hey, I'm not the one trying to justify bragging about my pile of Oakleys on here...

Justify? Nah, trust me, if I wanted to brag about stuff I've other things I'd shout about 😀
You've clearly misinterpreted what was trying to put across (Oakley being rather patronising) and you've kind of gone off on one. I hope it's gone some way to help you vent your frustrations today.
Enjoy your free glasses...and chill!
Just to rub your nose in it a little more I'm sitting typing this wearing Oakley flip-flops, T-shirt and 'Chain' reading glasses. and as an added bonus I've just wiped my screen with an Oakley microbag. How cool am I!? 😉

I guess its all over now back to full prices but there is another oakley uk site offering Jaw bones at £50 hmm suspicious

not very, the glasses are good, everything else is a bit meh

🙁

😀

ive never bought any oakley sunglasses before, mostly because they are too damn expensive for me to justify

id di however take advantage of this opportunity
who knows maybe ill be blown away by them or maybe theyll just be another pair of sunglasses,
ultimately they are designed and manufactured by a 3rd party in the far east just like most other designer sunglasses(in the same factory infact)
so im guessing its just their customer service and funky advertising that make them so desireable?

ive had 2 pairs of their shorts both returned as they dissintegrated within a few rides hopefully the glasses will last longer!

As suggested on HUKD - Seems only fair to me that since I'm getting a pair of glasses for nowt off Oakley, I should make a nice donation to charity... so, my moneys going to HFH!

I reckon its a good idea if all of us involved did the same, Karma and all that 🙂

zulu-eleven

I should make a nice donation to charity

+1, I will do the same to the same charity 😀

Nice idea - I'll make a donation to Born Too Soon at my local hospital who helped us when our son was born prematurely last year ( http://www.borntoosoon.org.uk/). I'm jumping out of a plane for them on Saturday, so if anyone fancies putting some oakley savings towards sponsoring me, I'd appreciate it! 🙂

http://www.justgiving.com/Travis-Morgans

Free!

Ah god damn it.

🙁

I use to wear Oakley's years ago but stopped buying them when I had to wear glasses but recently started to wear contacts for riding. I admit I took advantage of Oakley's cock up to try them out again after years of using Adidas but must admit I didn't think i'll be getting them free, they never even tried to take any money off me 😀

And thanks Vinnyeh for posting the link when you did 🙂

Charity begins at home, so I'll be spending the money on more bike bits to keep in my home... Is that allowed?

And I repeat.... AAAARGH... where's my time machine?? 😡 😡 😡 👿 👿 👿 😥 😥 😥 😡 😡 😡 👿 👿 👿 😥 😥 😥 😡 😡 😡 👿 👿 👿 😥 😥 😥 😡 😡 😡 👿 👿 👿 😥 😥 😥 😡 😡 😡 👿 👿 👿 😥 😥 😥 😡 😡 😡 👿 👿 👿 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥

So cheesed off I didn't hit the order button, blingin wife next to me tweaking my conscience 😆 ah well, congrats to all you lucky devils, I'm not jealous at all, no, not at all... 👿

Bugger!

I toyed with the options on the site, built up a nice pair that I liked and even placed it in the basket

I had a strong suspicion the order wouldn't be honoured, so I didn't go through and checkout

Ah well

Very impressed with Oakley for honouring the orders

I have just one pair of Oakley's, my prescription Kickstand 2.0's. The rubbery ear bits started to split after several years of use, I emailed Oakley & they sent 2 new pairs of the rubbery bits FOC

I'll just have to console myself by buying something else instead, anyone seen any other bargain-tastic offers around for bike stuff? I didn't really need the sunglasses, but at that price who could resist...oh wait 😆

Damn good idea about the donation thingy and I will do so for Dougie Mac. Had my card cancelled last night but it's all been sorted now and glasses are on their way in a couple of weeks - nice one.

so am i getting them for free now?, thats just silly
think ill be doing a charity donation too then

my order still says 'in process' on the website, but still no email....

my bum is squeaking

Gits! Why didn't I open this thread when it appeared?

I wonder how many of you on here will put your 'free' Oakleys on e-bay before too long......

😉

I was on the verge of pulling the trigger on a set of custom Jawbones on the Monday night when they were still full price. Decided to sleep on it and went back to have a look the next morning where they were suddenly showing up massively discounted so I clicked to order!

Well, they arrived this morning 😀

I think we need a picture thread soon of the Oakley ordered!!! 🙂 mine still in process 🙁

Anyone had theirs delivered yet?

Agreed - Pix when you have them please!

Missed the cheap period, so a bit peed off, but they'll still get my custom as my twenty's and half jackets are still the most comfy pairs of glasses I've had - loads better than the cheap Endura ones I picked up at SITS last year.

Ordered two pairs - one for myself, and one for one of our sales rep's...

His ones have shipped, mine are still in process

Pah! 🙁

anything custom will be 1-2 weeks apparently

£530 hold on my cash released this morning 😀

my custom order still 'in process' - no email yet but I've managed to sort my blocked card out.
<drums fingers on desk>

Mine have just shipped!

420 quid has been "authorised" on my credit card, but not actually billed yet (order was only 140).... so am keeping a close eye on that! Otherwise, I am "in progress" too

mate of mine had his delivered this morning lucky git.. 🙂 came from ireland, via germany then uk (next day delivery ups)

Still waiting for the email to say on the way!!!!

Mine arrived today. 🙂

Not been charged for them so far. 😀

Why do I keep looking at this tread. I missed out by minutes..but the fact remains, I missed out.

Out of interest, can those lucky sods post what time they ordered. I want to see who got in the latest. I now want to know how many minutes I missed out by.

By the way, if anyone got a black frames Jawbone with transition lenses, I'll happily pay 10 times what you got charged for them (plus postage). 😉

Pictures please...To show willing here's a picture of me wearing my Oakleys i had delivered today (thank you peachos!)

[img] [/img]

I missed out through choice for good reasons but on reflection and with 20/20 hindsight, that clearly worked out badly. Oh well if that's the worst that happens in my life, I think I'll be happy 😀

You didn't pay money for some 'Over the Tops' I assume?

11.30pm was the cut off time iirc

Oh yes njee

I really did miss it by minutes then! AAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two pairs of Jawbones turned up today, free of charge, thanks again to Vinneyeh for the heads up, very happy 🙂

If only I had ordered that 3rd pair I was swithering over....

same here.
it would have been nice to have got some for free but i decided i couldn't be buying sunglasses for 80 quid when i'm unemployed, regardless of how much they should have cost. oh well, they're only sunglasses!

Yes thanks to Vinneyeh or this thread - I got my OTT's thanks to it

Jawbones for me and my rep arrived today, big smiles all round 😀

wish I'd ordered more now

very unhappy looks of death from the guys who didn't take advantage of the deal, my boss is gutted, mwahahahhaha!

Just got the "despatched" email from Oakley, where are they coming from? All the UPS stuff looks like it's coming from the US?

meanwhile, my order is still 'in process'. 🙄

Anyway, glad this seems to have worked out ok for all.

My Custom Fuel Cell IR glasses arrived this morning. 🙂

Thanks.....

Mine came from UPS via Ireland to Germany to Edinburgh to Glasgow.
Puzzled as to why thats the best route btwn Ireland and Glasgow, but there you go.

My order status has just changed from In Process to Shipped... How long is the delivery time once they're shipped?

(So excited!!!) 😀

Just had my email conformation that my order is being shipped - fan dabbie dozzie!

This thread needs pics of your Oakleys!!!!!!

I'm the only one posting them and i've paid for all of mine!

I hear you Houns 🙂 hopefully have mine up tomorrow 🙂

Got mine yesterday. Still can't believe that they are free...in a world full of stories of bargains and great offers I seem to always miss out...not this time though 🙂

my jawbones have been shipped this am, cccooooooooooooooolllll 😆

So any pics yet?

Houns - Can we have some more pics of the Over the Tops please? I always loved the look of those, although my odd shaped head meant they were never an option for me.

Cheers

My Split Jackets turned up this morning about an hour before I got the email. Very happy. Am in the market for some new casual glasses after I ran mine over, shall def' be buying Oakley now

Mine just arrived!!! One minor problem, one of the "O" logos is missing off the arm... Would it be churlish to ask them to send one??

Here you go Mango

Shibboleth, go on, ask. I understand that they come with a money back guarantee
