I loaded up my basket with Craft baselayers, and wasn't until I was about to checkout, did I realise it was laydeez tops. 😳
I got a pair of knee warmers for £2, not bad!
Did exactly the same on Craft baselayers, didn't actually day Women's in the description!

I *am* a lady, just hoping all the bits and pieces fit now!
Many thanks. I was late to the party but mrs Bol is now nicely kitted out for autumn.
Cheers. Longsleeve top for wife sorted. Just had to cancel my windstopper though. No mention in description about being female until the order went through!
Hmph everything I looked at was either not in stock in my size, or about 10 times the listed discount price.
I'll be leading the classifieds with cheap quality womens road kit...
I'm size 41, but too late 🙁
My goodies have arrived - £23 for a windshirt, a winter jersey and a base layer. And a bottle of ice tea.
[i]And a bottle of ice tea.[/i]
Which is really very nice. I got 3 orders from PBL last week all with peach iced tea, stuck in the fridge thinking I won't be drinking that, had a bottle at the weekend and I was very surprised at how nice it is.
I bought some size 41 sidis, I'm a 43 but for that money I'm happy being uncomfortable 🙂
Cannot wait to get home and start my career as cross dresser [ no women tops were bought though I do own some [ see BMI thread for reason]
Oh dear, just had an e-mail to say that one of the four items I ordered has been cancelled as out of stock. They also said I haven't been charged (not true) but then sent a refund for both items not yet delivered.
Slightly poor show, I can't help but think.
Got my knee warmers, very nice, fleece backed fabric, silicone leg grippers, slightly tight on my (obviously) massive thighs in a medium, but for £1.50 I'll call them compression knee warmers and have done with it!
Got my sidis and a jersey but my Endura baa baa was cancelled and refunded 😥
^^ That was one of my items as well, that and Adidas bibs. Got some Northwave shoes at 10% of the usual price so can't complain too much. Still worth a small moan, though. 😉
My order cancelled as well 🙁
Both items cancelled - Great stuff
Six out of seven items cancelled. Poor show
two out of 4 cancelled
no way of contacting them at all either n the website or by e-mail
Wont be using them again bu two reasonabel price items
WIll be able to see if njees thighs or mine are the best
no way of contacting them at all either n the website or by e-mail
I tweeted them because of that. Noticed on the e-mail that they're part of the Hut group. As coincidence would have it I was about to buy a helmet cam from that site but switched it to a different site at same price due to this. Small potatoes to them, no doubt, but there you go.
Jamie - Freeloader! But we still like him
Mostly women's tops, mentally cheap though!
I loaded up my basket with Craft baselayers, and wasn't until I was about to checkout, did I realise it was laydeez tops.
You'd have two 500ml bottle sized storage spaces on your chest though.
My order cancelled as well. Not to worry, will go back to using Wiggle and CRC.
Just had my order cancelled too
Mine cancelled too. won't be using them again, smells like a ruse to generate website traffic to me.
Must have got lucky - everything I ordered arrived within a couple of days. Although maybe there was less demand for the ladies stuff?
Mine order was cancelled.
5 out of 6 of my items arrived, one top was cancelled, other gear is nice quality and cheap, padded shorts are really comfy..
Mine arrived very promptly. 4 northwave ss tops for £4 each! Thanks OP!
Just to explain why these time limited jumble sales always generate lots of cancelled orders from the POV of a retailer.
[list][*]Stock is usually strictly limited
[/*][*]stock has usually been knocking around for a while and so has had time to drift out due to picking errors etc.[/*][*]Stock control is even harder over multiple locations - if you have a store and someone walks in and buys something that's been ordered online before the order has been processed, that's a pain[/*]
[*]Lots of baskets are being created simultaneuously[/*]
[*]Most baskets are likely to contain similar items - reversion to the mean[/*][*]baskets don't remove items from stock until the basket has finished checking out - otherwise large volumes of the limited stock are tied up by baskets which aren't going to check out.[/*][*]once you're past a certain point in the checkout your order isn't likely to be flagged as out of stock - it's more important for a retailer to complete the order than worry about stock control errors at this point.[/*][*]Once orders are completed they'll usually not be processed immediately so it's likely transactions can't be voided, only refunded.[/*][*]Refunds oftn have to be processed by someone more senior in the company[/*]
[/list]
No retailer wants to refund lots of transactions in one go, it costs money and gives the customer a shitty experience - one they're quick to complain about. Even if PBK got these at absolute knock down prices they probably won't have made money of any of these orders, and will have lost money on a fair chunk, in the hope that people will consider them again next time. It's probably not worked out for them in some cases but it's definitely reminded me that I've had good service from them in the past even though they refunded me this time.
Had one of my orders cancelled - but not the other - can't complain really as I got 2 pairs of Sidis shoes for £46 delivered yesterday.
[b]lemonysam[/b]; all good points (and well-made). I do notice that on the acknowledgement email, it states "[p]lease note, for Credit Card and PayPal orders, payment is not taken until point of dispatch".
My singular item shows as 'order processing', but charged to my credit card (according to the issuing bank's on-line statement).
I am thus mildly disappointed, and not withstanding your post, will probably not bother trying them again when I've had good experiences with the usual suspects (CRC, wiggle, Merlin etc).
well I unsubscribed from their mailing yesterday as it was all I could do on their website and today I got an e-mail from them from their mailing list 🙄
TBH over a cheap as chips have a punt try I dont mind orders being cancelled but IMHO a company who provides no method of contacting them do so for only one reason and it is say all you need to know about their commitment to customer services.
Personally I wont use a company that give no contact information on their website [ nor subsequent e-mails either] so it is a No from me not that I can tell them this 🙄
