[Closed] PSA: Evans code £20 off min. £40 spend

My orders, two were cancelled, the third was dispatched yesterday.

A little slow compared to other online retailers I thought especially considering I only ordered one item, I normally use Merlin but they have a more limited range.

Well I just ordered over the phone using the voucher that they emailed to me.

The guy taking my order was polite, very efficient and within 2 minutes of putting the phone down I had confirmation of my order emailed through. Not bothered about delivery time particularly, it's all stuff for a bike I'm rebuilding so it's not like I need it instantly.

Happy customer here. 🙂

My order arrived this morning. Happy customer.

My £20 Charge Knife arrived today, well happy with that, cheers OP.

I had one of those on my cancelled order 🙁 got the Bonty R3 tyres today though.

Courier deliveries are a nightmare for us poor souls living out in the middle of nowhere. You nip out into the back yard for a moment to worm a couple of sheep and come back to find a card through the letterbox and your package on the way back to the distant 'local' depot.

'Summoning Parcelforce' : n. The act of going for a [i]Gypsy's Kiss, Tom Tit, Sherman Tank[/i], or any other activity that leaves you incapable of getting to your front door, in the three nanoseconds it takes for a Royal Mail Delivery Operative to tickle said door with a hummingbird feather, and ram a card through the letterbox saying 'Sorry we missed you'
😉

If you want it straight away, "SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHOP". If you order online, expect to wait. It's simple, really. This thread should have died a week ago. 🙄

Still had no dispatch email here, so phoned today to find out if it had been dispatched yet, apparently it was dispatched on the 5th (saturday). So hopefully it'll be delivered tomorrow. Which will be the 5th working day i believe as ordered on the 1st.

Does seem like it's been quite a bit longer than that though.

Both my orders arrived today 😆

My 'local shop' doesn't stock much of anything, just the stuff that sells daily tubes, cheap bikes, tyres etc.

If you want something not in it also takes WEEKS.

Support whoever you want. Its a shop not a ****ing Yurt full of Hippies blessing you.

Received my order for two £20 vouchers, happy days 🙂

You placed an order for vouchers?

Yeah, ordered vouchers as i did not realise they were excluded and did not need anything else

I expected them to be cancelled but arrived today by royal mail

Both mine dispatched. Nice work Evans! I take it all back.

Recieved 2nd order yesterday, 1st order due for delivery today...

Quidco cashback tracked at the wrong amount on both orders and has now been declined... Probably too much to ask for when the items are discounted and I used the code on top.

Huh! we've got a toilet in our porch and a glass front door so, leaving the bog door open, I can monitor any Parcelforce movements whilst getting a Gypsy's Kiss or Tom Tit out of the way. However, I'd probably consider using the upstairs toilet if a discreet Sherman were in order 😉

DPD are dropping my tyre off this afternoon, sometime between [i]'16:52 and 17:52'[/i] I like the exactness of the delivery window. Dunno if they've accounted for getting stuck behind any livestock movements or slow tractors in the lanes 🙂

My order turned up too - why is there 12 pages of complaining!?

I can only assume you have not read the thread as there is not 12 pages of complaining

My 3 orders turned up today. Lovely, very pleased.

Some nice Hope blingness arrived by DPD - thanks Evans, that's my lunchtime break from the PC sorted.

I agree that there is no real need to moan about getting a bargain but I think that there is an intrinsic link between experience and expectations - so when we all get next day deliveries from Wiggle/CRC/Merlin that's what we expect as the norm. It's very hard not to be disappointed when that doesn't happen.

If it wasn't for the commentary on this thread I think I'd have been fidgity wondering what Evans were playing at. It's not that we always need or even expect next day/2 day delivery it's just that we anticipate that will happen. Having this as a competitive force, so mail order companies and their delivery partners get better can't be a bad thing.Shirley.

Yep, you get used to it. Then when I buy from some other website I'm just like "I have to PAY for postage? What??" and then if it doesn't arrive by the next day I get annoyed. Spoilt really.

Not quite as good, but did anyone get the £10 off £30 spend today?

did anyone get the £10 off £30 spend today?

Please elaborate.

🙂

Got everything. Only really needed one of the items, so it was all an elaborate trick by Evans to get us to spend money we otherwise would have kept in our bank accounts. (probably).

[i]Not quite as good, but did anyone get the £10 off £30 spend today?[/i]
There's a £5 off £20 spend on the homepage.

Ordered on the 1st. Today, nope. Zip, nadda.

My two orders arrived today, both Royal Mail. Orders were processed and then hung, no dispatch or cancellation mails. Very happy though even at the time I realised it was a bit cheeky. Anyway thanks Evans 🙂

My pedals arrived today, very happy - thanks again to the OP!

I am still waiting for an order dispatched on Saturday and ordered on the first. Not that big a deal but not confidence inspiring either and unlikely to get me to use them again tbh given what others seem capable of delivering - 3 days to process and the same to deliver and counting

both mine arrived today

very happy

Ditto

I was going to buy my fullprice items in store as I needed them. Evans (3 stores) all out of stock but all sizes in stock at their warehouse. So as I was going to hit order from an online source when I saw the PSA on someones facebook. So I placed the order (full priced item but this Jan20 code with evans) So far I've had two wet-arsed rides and maybe another before the pants show up. I saved £20. TBH would I do it again? No, its abit of a pita. sometimes the savings -v- hassle curve means its not worth it. I was also one of those who didn't take the piss and place multiple orders to keep getting £20 off.

Pants go underneath....unless you are a)Superman or b)American.
Unless they really are waterproof undercrackers....in which case you may have a point (or just incontinence).

"[i]So far I've had two wet-arsed rides and maybe another before the pants show up.[/i]"

If you just stop crying you'll stay dry. HTH.

Bravo, bravo

Not really sure what i said that deserved such high levels of vitroil tbh

Oh the 'others' are also offering a 50% discount on top of already discounted products.JOY and hapenis.Who are they btw?

Thank god for online retailers,otherwise some poor sod in an lbs would have to deal face to face with some of you numpties

They live for you appearing and sweetalking them like this iirc 🙄

I placed an order for a cassette and chain and picked it up from my local store a few minutes walk from the office yesterday. Perfect really. I wasn't in a massive rush for it, or I'd have asked the LBS if they had it in stock. It was a bargain as items were already in the sale, so massive thanks to the OP.

Evans default price might not be competitive, but they do price match a very large range of stores - normally as simple as just showing them on your phone whilst at the till.

http://www.evanscycles.com/help/price-match - includes what I regard as the Usual Suspects.

I can't say I use them all the time, but if I have a free lunch time I'll often wander down and see if they have it in stock before I attempt to mail order. Always been very friendly in my local Evans, They were even happy to give out advice that meant I wouldn't spend money with them once! No grumbles with them here, and I'll continue to use them where it's convenient to do so.

does the £20 code still work?

Ordered mtb shoes from them 1st Jan ... still waiting.
Phoned them yesterday. Surprised to be told they will be dispatching them Friday!!!

Not be using them in a hurry.

Dexter endura gloves Ultegra brakes pads x2 and grease arrived today via Royal Mail all for the sum of £23 ,Hora have i earned a pint?

Endura ls Baa Baa and a 1L carton of Fenwicks concentrate landed on my desk this morning, for a total of £30 😆

i love how the whole of britain has been under 3 feet of water for the past two months and somehow hora's wet ar5e for two rides in the past week is all evan's fault 😆
notified of shipment saturday, arrived today. i'm pleased with 20 quid off a pair of shorts. think they're water resistant too. 😉

livestock movements

Oh stick yer waterproof panties up yer bum!

Got my orders today.

Thanks for the OP BicuitPowered.

got my first, had my 2nd and third cancelled wish is a shame, but hey ho

Getting both my orders.

Thanks OP.

Hora, why don't you tell Evans how disappointed you are in them rather than everybody else at least two times a day?

You dont think I haven't? The order was posted unrecorded/RM. Why not pick earlier and negotiate a tracked deal with a carrier?

Two times a day. On a relevent thread by chance? Whats your point caller/spit it out.

Got both of my orders delivered, thanks to OP & Evans. Not the fastest delivery but theyve been ok before. I expect they were busier than normal.

other half's order (pair of GP4000s) landed today.

Mine both arrived now. Two orders of £45ish reduced to £25 each. Chain, tubes, bar tape and a fancy dan Shimano roadie/cx Ultegra disc brake. Shame they only had one of those in stock though. Cheers to the OP and Evans.

XT Front mech arrived today. I moaned a couple of pages back about them not informing me it was originally out of stock. Well apparently it had pointed out a delivery delay when I put the mech in my shopping basket, but I hadn't noticed 😳 Evans had the good grace to upgrade my delivery to ensure I got the mech in time for the weekend after it arrived with them from the supplier.

So to counteract Hora's constant whining about Evans, they get a big thumbs up from me.

Still waiting.
Not as long as I've been waiting on an item from Triton though!

yes got my stuff
What I ordered - seatpost packaging is clearly a number of years old and tatty enough to annoy some folk I would imagine[ think it was £4 so can hardly grumble as the post is clearly new and unused

OK service - not exceptional not poor
superb price

Mine came this morning. In Sweden! Just the one order, but very pleased. Got a Raceface Atlas bar and Blackburn minipump for £21 (the handlebar was quite obviously already discounted for being a gopping colour 😆 ).

Big thanks to the OP again.

Thanks OP - my Demo shorts came yesterday; 24 quid with code plus they were in the sale 🙂

8 working days and still no sign here 🙁

Stuff came from Rose quicker, even with having to manually sort out a voucher code...

Got my bibs yesterday, 11 working days to Aus from dispatch date. Shame it took 4 working days plus a weekend from order to dispatch.

Ordered from wiggle on Sunday, dispatched Monday, and I didn't pay for the priority handling, just normal RM.
