[Closed] PSA: Cycle Surgery £5 flash sale

Nice one.

Merino bobble hat ordered!

Surprised at the free P&P.

Thanks. Hat and chain lube ordered.

Ta Hat and socks ordered

I had to deliver to local store, crashed on home delivery for me.

Cheers. went with the bobble hat, snood, Vulpine socks and a set of knogs. Not bad for £20.

Nice one OP!

2x 5 pack of Oakley Socks, a Knog set, and a messenger bag (from £55!!)

All ordered separately just in case anything sold out while I deliberated. Paypal too, so I didn't need to move 😀

Cheers OP, never too many hats and socks.

Cool, Oakley socks, load of kids gloves and some chain lube and degreaser. Cheers.

Hat, socks and a Buff....cheers OP 😀

Cheers!

Merino snood and some Thermo socks : )

Cheers OP.

Half price on niteride lights which makes them cheaper than second hand eBay prices. Don't want or need one but nearly bought the pro 1400 as it looks a bargain!

Hating all these PSAs. I'll be drowning in stuff I don't need in the new year!

Messenger bag for taking to the gym and the Oakley socks for me.

Nice one. Cheers.

Just bought a hat I will probably never ever wear.

Hat and bag.

Nice one

Wow just wow! Thanks Other Poster!

I've just ordered myself a Mini Childseat Yepp Sleeping Support, a Windscreen for Mini Childseat, a Banane Cyclisme Messenger Bag, a Gore Bike Wear Universal Headband, a Helmet Pro Liner Buff, Some Respro hang tags, some Hi Viz Wrist Bands, a Union Jack Hi Viz Vest and a Snug Spector Merino Hat!!!

All for a fiver!

Gosh any more deals about??? 😮

lol.

@bigblackheinoustoe: you were too slow matey - by the time you posted the good stuff had been sold and removed from the website.
Next time I'll try to let you know first before posting on the forum 😆

Got a new cycling cap and a "messenger bag" to try out for work. If the bag is as shite it can go on eBay, RRP is supposedly £40 so I should be able to break even on that...

Cheers OP...

Ooh, new things have appeared, GoPro and Garmin accessories weren't there yesterday.

Nice one. Gopro remote kit ordered, bargain.

I'm too slow as usual.

The only thing I was tempted by was the Mavic Roadie cap, which was priced at £22 😕

@prawny - The white mavic roadie cap was a fiver, black is a bit steep innit, I might have got the last white one 😉

I know it's a bit early, plus NYE etc, but anyone got their stuff yet? My delivery estimate was Sat>Wed, and not even had a dispatch email.

Good point. Forgot I ordered hat - no contact since initial order.

Ordered something 5 days ago and not had any correspondence..

My email says delivery between 7th -11th Jan

Nothing here yet, but as above the delivery was for this week and it's only Wednesday.

I got an e-mail this morning to say my order had been dispatched along with a royal mail tracking number.

Nothing other than confirmation of order email. Delivery stated as 7-11 Jan.

I opted for click'n'collect in store.

The 3-packs of Gore Thermal socks turned out to be 1-packs, and the merino snood/scarf was unceremoniously dumped/refunded from my order without explanation.

Meh.

Unimpressed so far....

Collected merino hat and snood in store the day after I ordered - no problem.

I've got an email from PayPal saying I've been refunded £5. I've no idea what for (I ordered 2 items) and have had no contact from the shop itself. No idea what's going on!!!

I've got an email from PayPal saying I've been refunded £5.

At least you have contact I guess 😀

I am getting the feeling the got swamped, so a lot of orders will be getting cancelled. Albeit, belatedly due to NYE/Bank holiday.

Damn, I got the refund after pushing. It seems it was too good to be true.

Just had my email, both items out of stock, refund issued.

My stuff arrived in the office yesterday. My only peeve is with myself as I failed to order the day I saw the PSA and lost out on the bags. Still, I spent a wedge with Polaris over 2-3 weeks and saved £100s on some excellent kit.

This^ The Polaris stuff is quality kit, genuine bargains.

*checks email*

Still nuffin.

My money has only just been taken, but no further emails received.

I've heard nothing since the confirmation email.

No great loss if it doesn't turn up but they haven't impressed me with communication either.

nuffink yet, money has been taken but no emails etc

Apparently the warehouse is out of stock for my item and they're checking their stores for me.

but they haven't impressed me with communication either.

...or total lack thereof.

Was just on live chat to find out the status of my order. Out of stock in the Warehouse, so they are looking for stock in stores. No ETA. So I just cancelled the order. All I supplied was a order #, no name, real email or anything else. Crazy that they just accepted that as a cancellation request without confirming any details.

Dear J,

Thank you for your recent order.

Unfortunately, we no longer have the Snug Spectator Merino Hate in stock and we are unable to fulfil your order, as a result we have had to cancel on this occasion.

Your code is: BLAHBLAHBLAH

Thank you for your understanding

*PayPal is deducted at the point of order, so any orders placed using PayPal will be refunded at the time of cancellation.
Kind regards,

Esther

Heh...so no money has been taken from my account, apart from the £5 that was taken from my Paypal account 😀

One order has been despatched as of 20 minutes ago. Just waiting to see if I'll get my hat and socks.

Also, the £10 gift voucher they sent as an apology doesn't work.

3/10.

Just had the everything out of stock email so 0/10 from me!

No email for me yet, still wondering why I got the refund

I really wanted one of those merino hats too. 🙁

No news since confirmation email, hope all my friends that I waited a day and then gave the heads up didn`t order too much 😳 from reading the above posts they may as well have stuck some bikes in the £5 sale to make it look even tastier!!

Mine was cancelled today.

Tut tut.

Email just in, no hats, socks or Buffs left in stock. Wife said the hat looks naff anyway so that'll keep her face straight 😀

Aah, just got my cancellation message but did get a £10 discount code.

Me too.

My order arrived in the post today 🙂

My order arrived in the post today

I only ordered a pair of gloves, got an email saying out of stock and a £10 voucher code, just ordered another pair of gloves for £15 used the code, so still only paying £5 🙂

My £10 off code didn't work 🙁

Meh cancellation email received just now.

Voucher not working for me either

Piss poor

0/10

Try using the code at the basket stage, not at checkout.

Another out of stock email here, haven't tried the voucher code but it's a bit poor if they don't work either! I hadn't used CC before so it's a bit of a shame it's been a mess this time, it's hardly encouraged me to use them again.

Try using the code at the basket stage, not at checkout.

Tried both. Code applies, but nothing comes off.

Emailed, CS and eventually told to ring up and place order, but I had given up at that point.

Lady was very helpful, tho.

I ordered a few pairs of socks and have just had my order cancelled. The £10 off voucher they sent me worked first time and has got me a tacx tablet holder for when I'm on the turbo - for £12.50. happy with that as I was going to get one anyway.

Just had to resort to the chat facility to find out they can't supply anything I ordered.

They offered me a 10% off voucher which I have no intention of using as if they can't organise selling a few £5 items I wouldn't trust them with anything more.

Sounds like a bait and switch operation to me.

Sounds more like a crap stock allocation back office software system that got overloaded by the amount of orders to me.

Sounds like a bait and switch operation to me

Nah, I think they just got overloaded by STW gannets swooping in. 😉

Anyway, I cracked and ordered a merino wool buff for £19, then emailed them the order number and got them to refund a tenner.

Probably worked out for the best, and the hat was a bit dorky, and more likely to use a buff in this frigid weather day to day.

Just got my refund 🙁 and voucher 🙂

That merino buff looks good, I have one already & use it loads at this time of year - mine's plain though whereas this one has a snazzy winter pattern!

EDIT: although my voucher isn't working either & I don't want it that bad so I'M OOOOT

set of knoggs for a fiver posted arrived today, bit of a bargain i think. thanks to the OP for the heads up on the flash deal.

My stuff arrived 2 days ago, Funny enough, the dispatch email arrived about 2 hours after my parcel 😀

I feel a bit left out that I've still heard nothing at all.

Perhaps no news is good news?

Actually do need the rear light & road mitts that I'd ordered.

Just got the email of doom , all three items out of stock , they can shove the £10 voucher up their rear passage and I will never spend £1 of my hard earned money with them ever again when there is so much competition. I also award 0/10 what a shoddy company !!

3 items not in stock 🙁

Massive balls up methinks !! Did anyone get the merino bobble hat ? That looked good 🙂

No hat for me 🙁

Just got an email saying I'm getting a refund for the bobble hat and some Oakley socks. Shame

No refund for me yet.

I only bought a hat because it was cheap. I wonder how many they had in stock when they offered them for a fiver?

I only bought stuff as it was cheap. Got the email, £10 discount voucher, can't complain at that really

I've found cycle surgery customer service to be good in the past

The £5 kids gloves I wanted were not in stock, they gave me a £10 voucher to compensate.
