Are CRC serious?

jadamson

got an email from them as ive purchased stuff from them before and im sure many of you have as well... in case you haven't heres a link - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/News.aspx?NewsID=728&PartnerID=2813

obviously there serious but surely they would have a limit on basket size? so according to the competition i can put everything on the CRC website in my basket and if i win i get it all? like millions of pounds worth of goods? and couldn't you just wipe there stock? :?

hmm :?

jay12

i don't get it :?

jadamson

seems odd to me :? i dont think they have thought this through! if i win i may have to hire a wearhouse to stock it all

You don't find out if you've won til after you make your purchase, so you'd have to be brave to try it

jay12

do you have to buy it first but because you do it during that date it won't be delivered but if you win they give you the money back?

if it's as easy as 1,2,3 i'll do it. superawesomechristams is coming early

And are you REALLY willing to take the risk and spend thousands/millions of pounds, just in the event that you MAY win?! :roll:

What they advertise they have to stick with it if not they could be fined for mis leading representation and false advertising ..

Especially as it doesn't state on the limit of goods in the basket but I suspect the person with the least amount ie 1 single item stands a greater chance

yeah but if you reread it, does it not come across that you have to make an order i.e. pay for it, then if your order number is drawn you get your money back?

can any of you afford to buy there entire stock?

edit: bollocks beaten to it

There will only be four winners chosen - one winner per week up to 3rd Dec.

I don't know how many orders they get per week. 20,000? More?

Your chances of being selected are slim to say the least. And as previous posters note, you have to place an order to qualify for the weekly draw, in which case you get your money back.

jadamson

oh right my bad... thought you could just leave it in your basket! dam marketing scam! (ish) maybe ill have to go for the win the lottery idea

We will then select at random one order reference number from all orders placed during this time

If you dont confirm the order then you cant win. So if you want to risk buying all their stock on the off-chance that you'll win - go for it!

On the plus side, even if you dont win, you can still start up your own bike shop

nicklouse

To be eligible for the draw all you have to do is place an order and proceed to the checkout as usual.

you still have to buy the stuff.

Shorty12

Doubt they'll pick someone that has all the stock bought they'll loose hundreds

Again....YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THE ORDER!

its pretty simple marketing, by getting all of us to place an order in the hope of winning it we will do follow the OP's lead, perhaps with a little more sense to just buy what we can afford anyway, and after all of the extra sales CRC will have more than made up the profits to make one basket a week free.

guess what i did!! :?




i ordered a full face with goggles an hour!!!!!! before the comp started
gutted
cuz i didnt see the email before i ordered it

nferrar

Just cancel and re-order if it bothers you that much, I'd say the chances of winning are slim though...
