Title: 15% Discounts on Kookaburra & Gray-Nicolls Bat Pre-Orders!
Post by: ItsJustCricket on September 05, 2013, 09:35:56 PM
As you guys have already seen the new Gray-Nicolls and Kookaburra bat ranges on here, we wanted to improve on our pre-Christmas CBF offer for these particular brands, but on a strictly time sensitive basis.  So, for all pre-orders received within the next 10 days, you will receive some big discounts, as follows:

This week (until Sunday 8th, 11.59pm UK time): 15% off all bats
Next week (until Sunday 15th, 11.59pm UK time): 10% off all bats

Plus, all bats will get free knocking-in!  :)

Otherwise the offer remains exactly the same, as detailed here: http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=26501.0 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=26501.0)

All you have to do to pre-order is PM/email me with your brand selection of Gray-Nicolls/Kookaburra and then pay the £50 (refundable) deposit.  Simple as that!  :)

Is this 15% off the RRP or 15% on your selling price??

15% off our selling price, which will work out to approx. 32-35% off RRP in most cases...

Hi Zoheb, assuming that you mean VAT, then yes, it will.  By law, as we are VAT registered, we need to take VAT off all orders that go outside the EU, and this includes discounted ones!  :) The VAT goes out first, then the 15/10%.  It basically means a massive saving for all customers who live outside of the EU!  :)

I am still waiting for the Kookaburra price list incidentally.  I have asked for it and apparently will have it soon...

No, sorry, Tushar - it doesn't.  Just one discount + VAT.

Yes, it was through a competition we ran last Christmas, Zoheb.  Not sure if you were a member on here back then? I am sure it won't be too long before Vincent (smokem) will reply to this thread boasting about his win!  ;)

OK, here are our prices for the Bubble:

Players: £369.99
Legend: £214.99
Star: £149.99

15% discount on these prices if you order tonight/tomorrow/Sunday, 10% if you do so next week.

I will try and post all the other Kook bat prices tomorrow...

You got me Paul! ;)

Vortex LE: £400 RRP, IJC: £319.99
Vortex 5 Star: £225 RRP, IJC: £179.99

I quite fancy the GN Vortex actually. An interesting approach that may actually work quite well. Just wish there was a Players grade in between. Decisions, decisions...

I know it's already appeared on another thread, but in my opinion, you can't get too much of this bat!  Based on the pre-orders we've received so far, it seems to be the most popular choice amongst you guys too...

For those of you who haven't yet pre-ordered: we can hand-pick one of these for you, and get it delivered to your door before Christmas.  You'll also get a 15% discount if you pre-order this weekend - we just need a £50 deposit...  :)

On behalf of another customer, I'm waiting to hear back from our Kook rep about that.  I can't promise anything, but I'd like to think it will be possible (they must've had quite a few requests!) I will update the thread as soon as I know anything...

If the 400's are anything like this years, with 10-15% off then they represent a real bargain.

Does Stevie Wonder so the grading at Kook?

Thanks for all the pre-orders, guys. Had quite a few now! :-)

Had a couple of requests about matching softs... We will extend the same discount to any matching pairs of pads and gloves. So, if you got 15% off for your bat, and want a matching pair of gloves and/or pads, you will get 15% off the softs too.

We need those £50 deposits by midnight tonight to qualify for the 15% though, so not much longer now!

Just over three more hours for the 15% discounts, guys.  Please contact me via PM/email - if you want to pre-order a bat, I will get invoices out to you straight away, so you can pay those deposits in time...  :)

For those of you who still haven't taken the plunge for that 15% discount yet, there's still time!  :) Albeit just 43 minutes...

Bump on this, as there is now just two days left to claim your 10% pre-order discount!

Remember, this discount applies to a (hand-picked) Gray-Nicolls/Kookaburra bat of your choice (which we will knock in for you for free), and a matching set of softs, all delivered before Christmas or your money back! All we need is a £50 deposit and brand selection by Sunday (11.59pm) to secure these lower prices.

The new Gray-Nicolls bats are up on our website now, so you can take a closer look at what's on offer, with prices, weights etc. all there.  The Kookaburra prices are listed on this thread.

Please PM/email me with your brand selection and we'll take it from there...

I've checked with Kookaburra, and unfortunately, they are steadfast on only offering the Bubble in SH.  I am a little surprised by this, but I guess this is one of the main problems of dealing with the major brands who import their bats - their flexibility is that much less than the others...

Post by: cragnasty on September 15, 2013, 04:08:56 PM
Cheers for asking. Having looked on a couple of aus sites i see the bubble is available in lb lh and sh. So cant really understand the theory behind only offering a sh over here?

Post by: ItsJustCricket on September 15, 2013, 04:56:10 PM
Well, the UK Bubble is a different bat.  Quite a few Kook and GN bats are SH only - they generally only offer LH/LB in the lower grade bats.  I guess it's due to less financial risk on their part - they don't want to be left with 100+ expensive LH/LB bats at the end of the season that they can't shift, so they are mitigating risk.  I still think it's strange though, especially to not at least have the lower grade option (Star) in LH/LB...

You could ask Rob Pack to make you a bubble in LB or LH

Funnily enough I work in a sports store here in Australia and we received UK bubbles just before Xmas, we were supplied long blades in the legend and the star as well as SH.
