What's the point? They've been good enough to honour something they didn't have to, I'm sure they're going to be working on it best they can.

I've got the email too! Awesome! Well chuffed as I'd wanted a pair of Jawbones since they came out but always thought £200+ was a ridiculous amount to drop on a pair of sunnies.

Big thanks to Vinnie! It came good in the end mate... 8)

Oakley tried to take £245 this morning but my CC company rejected the activity as suspicious :sigh:

To be honest, they can take what they want from my account - I have a confirmation printed off at £93.

I'll wait til I get the glasses then kick up a stink - I'm sure Oakley's legendary customer service would illicit a swift refund and some sort of compensation... 😉

Just called them as i have also been charged £290 rather that £111 i have a reciept for.

I was told the orders have to go back onto the system at full price and are been manually changed during today. so i will only be charged £111

This is looking like a giant cock up from start to end!!

If anyone missed out, Triton have decent prices on the standard Jawbones. Got some Lemon peel ones a few months ago, and got great service with them.

I've not had an email yet - anyone else waiting?

(my confirmation has '£0.00' on it too, rather than the discounted price that was shown on the website when I ordered.

no e-mail for me yet.... although my online order tracking has gone from "cancelled" to "in process". It's also showing the discounted price, but by the sounds of it that hasn't stopped them charging full whack anyway!

My order status has gone back to "in process", price remains at £93... Looking good!

I would imagine they've put thought a gert big load of "pre authorisations" to see which ones they can go ahead and process, and which ones they need to actually speak to individually to get sorted out.

Since my original order "pre authorisation" was at the full price, it wouldn't surprise me if the systems still goe the same settings, which would explain things nicely 🙂

FWIW - I made two orders, which have both been showing as "in process" throughout, I had a cancellation email about one order, and I received two mails last night regarding two orders, with different order numbers but the same order reference.. so, I would guess its all a bit confused there at the moment - and if everyones phoning them every five bloody minutes, its not going to help them get the mess sorted out is it 🙄

Confirmation email here too last night 🙂

Like some others on this thread, I just got a call from the bank with suspected fraudulent transaction on my card relating to this transaction. Oakley tried to take the full price last week, & then cancelled it. Card is ok. <phew>.

I'm really happy to be getting my bargain Oakleys (some polarised Antix and some Splice goggles), but since my order got cancelled I had mentally re-allocated that money towards a RS Reverb.....

Now I want a Reverb too. Balls.

just got mine reactivated. combination 🙂 and 🙁 as although disappointed, i had saved the impulse purchase money when it was cancelled 😉

Interesting to discover that Ray-Ban and Oakley are both owned by the same company though. They must make some serious cash.

I am as well... the email is worded a bit ambiguously- it's now sounding as if the glasses are going to be free- surely they're not going to do that? Delivery is already free, so what else can this mean?

edit- just seen this on hotukdeals:

I cancelled and got:

[b]Thank you for your recent Oakley custom web order. We know that you requested for your order to be cancelled; however, we would like you to send you a complimentary pair of Oakley custom eyewear.

stonking behaviour by oakley if this is how it's going to end up!

Bit unsure here too. First read it as free delivery, but it does look a lot like they might be free...

Best STW PSA ever (for me at least) if so!
