Title: CBF Olympics Offer – 30% off? As good as gold!
Post by: ItsJustCricket on July 18, 2012, 06:51:56 PM
As some of you may know, I'm not the biggest fan of big discounts and flash sales, but on the other hand, I am genuinely delighted with the response we've had so far from the CBF.  Not just for gaining customers, but also for advice, assistance, testimonials, support and market research.  As a start-up business, trying hard to find our feet in the cricket industry, I really can't stress how important all of this has been to us.

So, as a way of saying thank you, I thought we would provide a very special offer, that's exclusive to all CBF users and guests:

SPEND £40 FOR A 30% DISCOUNT (off list price).  Simply quote code CBF30 at checkout.

All products on our website are applicable – even sale items; however, the code can only be used once per customer, so choose wisely!   :)

The offer is only valid online, not in our London store.  It is exclusive to CBF and will not be promoted in any other media.

Consider this an ‘Olympics Offer’, as it will end on the same day as the Olympics – Sunday August 12th.

Happy shopping! Any questions, please give me a shout.

Cheers,
Paul

Top offer Paul. A Salix for £ 150 is extremely good offer considering that there was a recent used sold for £ 120. I would have bought one if the offer was posted yesterday :(.

It works on anything totalling £40 or more. Gutted the distinction gloves are out of stock!

If our list price is £40.  So it would even apply for something like this: http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-batting-pads-c7/senior-batting-pads-c23/newbery-test-batting-pads-p359

There really are going to be some silly offers here, like the GN Oblivion 5 Star around £90, and the GM Icon LE about £210... Part of me thinks it's ridiculous, but had it not been for the CBF, we would've been in a much worse position than we are, so in hindsight, it's the least we could do!

Normally £275.99 (before the discount) but I need to assess it and see how 'new' it looks.  The bat had been used a few times and a crack developed in the toe.  M&H claimed they could repair and refurb as good as new though.  I will let you know as soon as it's in and send some pics - could you please PM your email address? Cheers.

Brilliant offer Paul, very generous of you. Good news that you've had a lot of business from the forum, I was really impressed when I bought my ayrtek lid off you pre season.

Any chance you'll get some ayrtek or salix batting gloves in soon?

Ah, crumbs - sold out of the Pod Blacks yesterday and I know Salix don't have any left either - as for the Ayrteks, I will have a word with Tom and see what kind of discount he can give us!! :)

Good timing - have ordered 2 x KPs (but they've actually been pre-ordered).  However, in the same order, we sneaked in a cheeky 2.9 Limited Edition, which I've been informed will be with us tomorrow... Will send you some photos if you like?

Let me have a word with them, Graham.  Last I heard they were about to run out, so I can only assume they're out now, but I'll at least ask the question.  PS. Thanks for that testimonial too - don't think I got round to following up with you on that!

Hopefully, yes - they are rather lovely.  There is still 4 weeks left of the offer, so should be more than enough time to order a few more bits in from the likes of M&H.

Hi Ed, just replied - sorry for the delay.  Check out the YouTube video as the one in that is the 2.10 one that's for sale... It's 2.10, but it picks up 2.8, so I suspect you will like it.  Take a look and see what you think.

Meeting Puma at the Twickenham show in September.  Need to start stocking them ASAP, but they wouldn't take on a retailer until they've had one year under their belt.  More's the pity, but there you go - all being well, we will have some Puma gear in circa October.  As for the black Masuris, not sure, to be honest.  The jury is out on that one...

Just to clarify: it has to be first come first served for this.  The Salix Pod Players and Gray-Nicolls Oblivion 5 Star have just been sold - thanks Chad and Alex!

Won't send any other sales updates on here, though - only via PM to people who ask.  It will clutter up the Forum horrendously, and I feel it's already been cluttered enough by this offer as it is!

Original High or Low? We had the Low before and were wanting to get more anyway, but M&H needed to make them and it was a three week turnaround at the time, so thought it best to wait...

As for the other new products, including M&H and SS, as soon as they're in, they will be uploaded to the site, so it's worth checking back over the next few days, especially in the "new arrivals" page...

Thanks for this, Liam, noted.  We are admittedly a bit Kahuna top heavy at the moment on the Kookaburra front, but of course, that needs to change at some point.  Will have a think and get back to you on this...

Hi mate, what's missing from our range? What would you like to see that we don't currently have? Would be really interested to know.  Cheers.

Please correct me if i'm wrong but i don't see any OSM softs on the site. They can be a pain to get so if you had any i'd be interested.

Bat wise - Been looking for a nice M&H solution for a while.

Like the sound of this SS LE you have just got in though

Not sure, mate, sorry - but likely to be before this offer ends.  Have Large RH, otherwise mainly LH.  I'll keep you posted.  Not ideal, I know - this is the snag with doing an offer like this, especially for the really popular products! What about the Ayrtek lid, though? Have several of those and I know you were keen before...

Hey do u have and kookaburra pro 1000 bags in stock ?

No, sorry.  To be honest, we probably won't be getting any in either.  As you may have gathered from our YouTube videos, I'm not a massive fan of the Kookaburra bags - don't mind stocking their entry level ie. Pro 400 / 600 etc. but not convinced about going any higher than that.  Generally I only really stock what I like and believe in, so would go against the grain really.  For me the best bags at the moment come from Newbery and Salix...

They vary - but a lot of them have white grilles, or that grey colour.  The main one in the video is a ti grille, hence the shiny colour.  We only have the steel left though...

Thanks, Liam - not going to do it for Salix Pod Players, Bradbury Players, or GM Icon Original LE bats though unfortunately.  Also, in fairness, I've been wanting to have a larger Willostix range for some time anyway, and all the more reason to do that now... Also, forgot to mention, I've also ordered some 606 and 909 Epics and Halos.  Not sure when they're arriving though as GM have given me the silent treatment since I placed the order - maybe they've caught wind of this deal!!   :o

Sold out of these, sorry.  Same with GN too, so can't even order any in.  Last I heard GN aren't getting any more in until September as well! Unfortunate situation, but there's not much we can do.  Exactly the same situation with the Legends incidentally...

Sorry, Dan, never had any of these in the first place! A bit pricey, and quite niche too, so they're not the type of bat we like to carry in stock.  I'm afraid we can't really order in this type of bat especially for this sale either.  Plenty more GMs in stock at the moment, though...

Meeting Puma at the Twickenham show in September.  Need to start stocking them ASAP, but they wouldn't take on a retailer until they've had one year under their belt.  More's the pity, but there you go - all being well, we will have some Puma gear in circa October.  As for the black Masuris, not sure, to be honest.  The jury is out on that one...

It's looking increasingly unlikely, I'm afraid - they barely even have any wood at the moment, let alone bats - for example, we'd be looking at a 2 week wait (minimum) for the Original Low... Of course, we will be stocking M&H bats in future, but I don't think there'll be any more before this offer expires.  Sorry!

STOCK UPDATE: We will have some more Sidearms next week, and some more Newbery kit, too, including Tour bags and bats.  Then we will get some more M&H softs and bags, some Amplus and Distinction bats, some more Aero softs (including Strippers) and then, last of all, some Original Lows.  The chances of the latter being in before the end of the offer are slim, but everything else should be.  This is all of it - we won't be ordering in anything from any brands that aren't mentioned here, so if you're still wondering what to use your CBF30 code on, I hope you'll have a much clearer idea after reading this post...

Fair enough - in my experience, people in your situation tend to go for a Sidearm or two, or some fielding device / training aid for their club.  Now that we have Pop Up Stumps, Pop Up Nets, Rebound Nets, Katchets and new Sidearms coming in next week, it might be an option maybe? http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/fielding-coaching-c10

Sorry, Chad, can't I'm afraid, and sorry for the confusion.  We are getting Tour Bags, but not Tour bats.  Perhaps should have made this clearer.  Just GT Players and Mjolnir 5 Stars, which up until now, had been the only Newbery bats that have been requested specially...

Correct, but it'll charge delivery on the discounted amount.  So, as long as the amount after discount is over £70, delivery will be free...

Haha yeah, was kidding about the double dip. :P I'm against it and have FAR too many bats anyways. :) I really could do with a new kitbag, so may get the Tour! 8)

No idea, just wondering if he did, as I thought he was the head batmaker at Newbery, so I assumed he would make the top of the range bats there. I'm probably wrong about everything here though. D:

Newbery outsource their batmaking to Tim and Nick Keeley's company. Like a number of companies mass producing bats, they're produced on CNC machines with various people doing the manual processes.

Hi Raj, thanks for the order - good choice! The bat will be with you soon - I'll keep you posted on delivery...

As for the pronunciation, I actually queried this with my contact at Newbery, and he insisted it was MUH-JOLL-NAH, so I have just copied him, even though the Nordic / Thor origins suggests you've got it right!  :)

Though the yoo part should be spelt with a ψ or an φ, so without that i guess it just be

I really want that Newberry Tour bag, but the £20 international delivery is stalling me. Maths has never been my strong suit, so let me work out whether the 30% off will nullify that to some degree... :)

I am trying to fix this international delivery thing at the moment, actually.  £20 is actually way too low for something like the Tour bag! That cost us £64 to ship to Canada today... I know this is the opposite of what you want to hear, but wanted to be honest and give you the head's up...

I knew international postage wouldn't be the cost of a bag of crisps, and £20 is actually pretty good when all's said and done. I'm thinking it's worth sucking up for the bag!

OK, you can take off the VAT as well then.  Brings the cost down even more!

FedEx charged me £42 for a cricket bat for International Economy delivery 1-8 days.

The actual  and volumetric weight of the bag will be much more and therefore the courier will be at least £60 imo. ParcelForce is much more expensive. Lookout for a additional charge that I was quoted by ParcelMonkey as my home was close to a Olympic venue and also for a delivery in a suburb in NSW!! No such charge quoted on Parcel2Go

It costs anywhere between A$50-A$70 to get a bat couriered from Aus so about the same price.

Thanks for this, Yash.  Just checked with all the couriers we use (via P4D), and the lowest price for a Tour bag to Aus was £100.58 (ParcelForce).  That's a lot more than the bag itself costs!!

Nah, the Tour bag was on last night and taken off this morning - we're talking only a few hours. I think It'sJustCricket found out the delivery price was going to leave him out of pocket if I bought it so took it off so I couldn't order it. I get it - guys aren't in business to lose money (but that's not really my problem  8)). Too bad really, as I was going to buy a couple of other things. Oh well.

Hi mate, I wanted to take it down until I've worked out what to do with our international delivery rates.  It's quite a confusing situation, and this particular product is the most confusing of all for international orders.  Thinking of changing them to be based on weight rather than order value.  Still haven't made a decision.  You can still order it, but would need to go through me directly, rather than the website, and different delivery rates would apply.  I hope you understand - £100 delivery charge for a £76.99 product is getting on the silly side, to be honest!

Paul why don't you send it in the normal Air Cargo? It is not very difficult. Once you have the Airway Bill send a scanned copy across to the customer and he can go and collect it from the airport. Much cheaper as well.

Well you can speak with the customer - if he is happy collecting it then why not. A lot of times customers have to go an collect parcels from the post office or the parcel force depots.
If the price differential is significant and the customer wants that bag, then it is a straight forward decision

Yash, I appreciate the input - and it's definitely something to consider in future, so thanks for suggesting it.  However, we are going to have to agree to disagree in this instance because I've already messed this guy around enough! Besides, it's our own stupid fault for having silly international delivery rates set up in the first place!

Just wanted to add here that Paul removing the bag from the site is justified in my opinion, I ordered the tour bag and was happy to pay 20 GBP shipping but when i saw that it actually cost Paul 64 I felt bad so offered to pay the difference, which again to Paul being great was not accepted, I can't even imagine going anywhere else in future after the service i have recieved from IJC but they cant loose money.

Now if the shipping was 64GBP when i had ordered i might not have taken the plunge but then again when pads can cost as much as 50 odd to ship then not surprised by the 64GBP to canada / 100 GBP to Aus. I have since checked out a lot of site for shipping rates on bags and even sites like Prodirect that ship a bat to canada for 10-17 GBP charge 45GBP for a kit bag

Although Paul I do agree with yvk3103, 99% of the times i have to drive for abt 40-60 mins to pick-up my parcels anyway as they try to deliver during day time when i am not home, so if the customer is willing to pick it up somewhere then its not a bad option. It will save him money but on the downside as you said he has been messed up with enough ;)

I totally get that, and I'd feel like I was cheating you if that had been the case. So completely understand you taking it down. Actually a bit embarrassed I might've come across as a bit of a prat  :-[ - naturally I was disappointed to miss out on an awesome bit of kit at a good price, but I wasn't being bitter or snarky with my posts.

Thanks for your support on this, Tushar.  Will consider the air cargo option in future, definitely, as long as it doesn't inconvenience the customer too much... I hope you were home to collect your parcel today?!

Just one, Liam, but it's travelled half way across the world and back and doesn't even have a box - but on the plus side, it's never been used... Have ordered a few more Strippers and other bits and pieces from Aero, but it's taking a while to show up, unfortunately...

In that case, they're yours - and if you spend £2.01 more on other stuff, you'll get 30% off.  Makes up for the lack of a box, I suppose?!  :)

The offer is only valid online, not in our London store.  It is exclusive to CBF and will not be promoted in any other media.

Consider this an ‘Olympics Offer’, as it will end on the same day as the Olympics – Sunday August 12th.

Happy shopping! Any questions, please give me a shout.

Cheers,
Paul
