Title: Happy New Year Offer for CBF: £20.14 off all £75+ orders!!
Post by: ItsJustCricket on January 06, 2014, 08:55:13 AM
Morning Guys,

As a “happy new year” gesture to all members of CBF, I’m delighted to announce a very special CBF exclusive offer for this week…

£20.14 off all orders of £75+.

The offer applies to any product that’s on our website – as long as your total order value is £75 or greater, you will get £20.14 off your order.  All you need to do is quote CBF2014 at checkout.

Anyone ordering a bat as part of the offer will get free knocking-in as well!

In addition, all UK Mainland / UK Non-Mainland / Channel Islands / Ireland / Northern Ireland orders over £150 will get free delivery

You can use the code as many times as you like, but the offer will expire at 11.59pm on Sunday (January 12th).

N.B. The discount code can only be used on our desktop website, not our mobile site/app.

We hope you enjoy the offer and look forward to serving you just in time for winter nets!  :)

Cheers,
Paul

Very annoying what happens to the pound signs on here! Just to confirm, it's a fixed discount of 20 pounds and 14 pence for an order of 75 pounds and over, not 20.14%

Am I right in thinking this offer can't be used with any discounts that we may still have available to use from your previous offer?

Correct, can't be used in conjunction with any other offer.  It can be used multiple times though, so for example, if there were six different products of £75+ that you were interested in, you could place six separate orders and get £20.14 off each time!  :)

Paul,
I was playing around on the website checking the promo code. I selected a Kook Ricochet 300 (£99.99), selected UK mainland delivery and entered the promo code. It gave me a discount of £79.84 and the total came down to £27.64 which didnt look right. Thought I should let you know about it in case there is a fault on the website.

I was looking at the nike spikes, and they were coming in at 26 odd quid. It looks like the code is discounting to £20.14, not taking it off the total.

Indeed, as tempted as I was to order a M&H T1 bag for £25.64 delivered I managed to restrain myself!

Indeed, chaps - I am very sorry for the mistake.  It was an error on my part, but has now been corrected.  Our web developers have tested it, too, and it's working fine now.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I appreciate the restraint that you guys have shown - thank you!

All orders taken during this period have since been refunded and the customers contacted - you can all try again now!

I think there may be something odd going on with the website when viewed on an iphone too, unless I'm being daft. I'm not sure the mobile site has the same info as the full one, for example I can't see the maverick f1 elite gloves on my iphone.

Ah ok, sorry Paul. I thought that the code simply wouldn't work on the mobile site, not that the content of the mobile site would differ to the full website.

The content does differ slightly, and this is one of the reasons why we can't use the mobile site for this offer.  That being said, the mobile site is getting there, and a lot better than it was a few weeks ago, so it's still a pretty good guide as to what we have.  Orders can be placed on there, but it doesn't have the functionality for discount codes, unfortunately.

Paul,

I seem to be redirected to the mobile app(on iPhone) with no option to go to desktop version. Also if I put anything in the basket then checkout the price comes up in dollars!

Not sure about the dollars, as all orders through the app have worked fine so far (in GBP).  But as I've said a couple of times before, this offer isn't valid on the mobile site anyway.  You need to use the desktop version if you want to take advantage.  The redirect is automatic if you are using a mobile device, so will need to use a desktop/laptop to access it.

Hey Paul, I just ordered the Salix gloves and was just wondering if there was any chance you could get the delivery driver to deliver them straight into my cricket bag under the stairs without the Mrs seeing? She's going to kill me when she sees them!

Redirects should never be automatic, smart phones are more than capable of running a desktop site. And people should be given the option.

Especially those that use there phones for everything.

My colleagues now just say "some cricket stuff has arrived" now. They went through a stage of checking things that arrived when I was out of the office "just in case it was work related"  :D

Chris, I decided to make the redirect automatic and this is the way it shall stay.  We invested quite a lot on a mobile site and for good reason - it's important that it gets used.

All you need to go is change your settings on the phone desktop site preference and it will not redirect.

That is a shame, Dave, but you'd only need to spend £25 more, so £50 is at least a good start!  ;)

With then getting 20.14 off, he'd only be spending another 4.86! A bargain if you find something you need for 25.
