Worked out today's code is UKTYRE15 (I know, I should be wokring for MI6 right! 😉 )

Chunky monkey and smorgasbord ordered with some tubes (looking to run these tubeless though) for £37, worth a go before splashing over £40 on one* conti tyre...

EDIT: *pun not intended

Yay! Got a set of fat bike wheels last week and then the tyres today.

As a starter set that's half the price of a hope/surly combo and let's me v decide v if it's 'for me' before soured big bucks.

First time I used PX for a while yesterday while the forks offer was on. For some reason though, the 15% off never got applied to the price at checkout. Just waiting for a response from my mail to customer services.

The Planet X resistance rollers... anyone know if the rear drum can be reversed like the sports crafter progressive drum to enable and disable the resistance? Don't see it mentioned in the instructions.

Brant,

I managed to put my order through twice as it said payment didn't work the first time but now shows 2 orders for in my account.

If you could let someone know to cancel Order Id: SO0467789 that would be awesome as I was waiting on the phone but have run out of lunch break.

Yours sincerely

they did have some system problems over the weekend.

I ordered a set of forks and a pair of fat tyres and both had a problem showing on my account despite paypal payment workign ok.

I phoned them and they answered immediately.

Turns out they're processing orders that were affected manually so I'd give them a call if I were you rather than relying on brant to come back to this thread before they despatch your goods twice...

It shows 'waiting on stock' so far anyway. Will make a call again later but I was number 6 in the queue at lunch time and can't use my phone in the office.

Worst case scenario I have some cheap spare tyres....

I checked out using PayPal and the only e-mail I have is a PayPal receipt. Should I have a confirmation e-mail from On-One? Should I be worried? Ordered yesterday morning for info.

Cheers

Well I thought I had a confirmation email but it was just the subscription email. So checked and no evidence of my order at all. No payment out of bank so can't even prove I ordered. So now no chunky monkeys or the 32t bash I thought I'd ordered. I'll see if anything happens over next few days. If not money will go somewhere else.

mmm, still no confirmation email.

My biggest worry is that they'll have sold those fat tyres to someone else now as they had so few in.

I got the same re: my order for dual compound chunky monkeys. Spoke to Phil at On-One. He said they have 500 on order from supplier and they'll despatch as soon as they arrive. All may not be lost on your fat tyres!

That's very decent of you brant, I appreciate it.

shall I phone and ask them to put it on back order until they're in stock or cancel and re-buy when the time comes?

same note here with a XT cassette as part of a larger order. website still shows 17 in stock. called them today and asked them to send it me when they have stock, but in the meantime to get the rest of the order out. I do not have a lot of confidence, this is my first on-one/planetX experience and not good so far.

Brant, I'm building up a bike for the missus birthday on the 18th of Jan, the cassette is not essential (I have others), but if you could see your way to ensuring that the rest of SO0464986 (like the Inbred frame!) gets send out sharpish, that would be great, to ensure I can build it in time for the big day.

Cheers!

Kev

Brant
its all quiet on the On One front:-(

unfortunately it wasn`t done, even though Gareth said that he would sort it out for me and i waited an extra week :-(( my MEDIUM rockstar arrived today. i have everything else, new wheels, reverb, new forks,new cranks, new brakes, new pedals but now i have to send it back for the Large.
Brant, would you find it acceptable for me to build the medium up and if it doesnt fit exchange it for a large.
a very gutted Lester

I'm sorry. Clearly disappointing. I have referred your issue to our Head of Sales for direction.

Brant you must be losing your touch,
nothing happened here either, shall i build the medium and possibly swap if it is too small, or wait for ( i dont know how long) for head of sales to ring me?

I placed three orders during the sale.

All for items that were showing stock > 10 units (I believe) when I placed the order.

After a week or two and having received the email I mentioned above re: the tyres I phoned and checked on the other two and was told all items were out of stock and was told when they'd be back in (early to mid Feb I think).

I said that was fine and that I wasn't in a rush to get the items. I wasn't offered the chance to cancel/told orders would be cancelled so assumed I'd be placed on back order.

Over the past few days I've begun to receive cancellations through on all the orders and promises of refunds.

brant - when we spoke above I got the impression it would be 'sorted', I know you're probably in China but I'm a bit confused about what offer you made and what's happened to my orders more recently?

Just for balance... I ordered a set of rollers, I got the discount, they turned up a couple of days later, I'm now using them. Happy.

Be interested to know just how much extra business these New Year sales pull in for Planet X. Sounds like they get a bit overwhelmed each year. Though must be well worth their while despite the hit that their customer care reputation takes in the forums.

Same thing happened with CRC last year. I had to wait a couple of weeks for my stuff to turn up from the sale. It's cack when it happens but it happens.

Similar to the above, I ordered a smorgasbord, a chunky monkey and 2 tubes.

Smorgasbord turned up last week, has email about the rest of the order being out of stock. Posted here to tell Brant i'm happy to wait.

Just checked and they are back in stock but I have had a refund for the price of the tubes and chunky monkey?

Which means if i order now i don't get the discount. Seems a bit rubbish to me considering the first one only turned up a few days ago so not like the stock was months away or anything...

PS, If brant is reading, I do still want the tyre but feel a bit begrudged paying full whack after not being offered the option to wait and being refunded even thought it is back in stock 3 days after my other tyre was posted...
