For about an hour last night, everything was discounted by 20% at the checkout. CRC soon realised their mistake and fixed it (who said they were slow eh?) I ordered a few odds and sods but I imagine some people filled their boots.

Anyone bag a bargain and what chance the orders will be honoured :?

    I believe that companies don't actually have to honour the prices they quote online so orders could well be rejected. Look at all the misprices that happen (e.g. £50 iPads at Tesco etc) and never fulfilled

    I understand that the online prices are a simply offer and are no guarantee of acceptance even if payment has been acknowledged.

    My order shows 'processing' (nothing unusual there :)) it will be interesting to see if CRC accept it.

    I actually ordered a hat and when I got to the checkout it said I had input a discount code and had some money off. Just assumed it was an intentional offer I skipped over.

    Had I realised it was a error I would of ordered more than a damn hat!

    Ah well. First order with CRC also haha.

    EDIT: It was despatched earlier today. Maybe if it was a £5000 bike they might of kicked up a fuss but for a £20 hat they probably thought ahh sod it haha.

    Knowing CRC they'll just ship whatever was ordered.

    Well my reverb is still processing.

    fingers crossed although i have noticed that even though it was a 2012 ordered and i have a screen print of the order, when i now click on it the page it brings up is a 2011 model. Curious
