Rapha MSR20 code

edited April 2017 in Road general
I've placed and received 2 orders for Core bundles which are already discounted using the above code which isn't supposed to be valid on already reduced produts and bundles and once only per customer.
Now initially I thought oooh lucky me but the more I think about it the more I think this is unlikely and that Rapha have done this on purpose to generate a bit more business ?
I have no probem with this of course as Core bundle for under £100 is a very good deal I just think it is unlikely that Rapha would not put something in place to stop the code being used on bundles as per the T&Cs on the emails.
So if you haven't used it give it a try soon just in case Rapha do put a stop to it (its due to expire Wednesday anyway).

    Return them free and reorder, it'll cost £101 icluding shipping for jersey bib bundle.

    Ordered 2 jerseys using the code. Still works out at over 100 quid each so not sure it's too much of a bargain but telling myself I just return the one I like least.

    Rapha's codes have always worked best on their bundles. They let the code carry on but occasionally remove the bundle from sale instead.

    It's notable that they've removed the archive store from there at the moment. So, yes, they have no issue with it

    Yeah I went sniffing for the archive store and noticed it had gone.
    While I`m here I'll just say I'm impressed with the Core bibs and there's a good chance I'll keep both sets I ordered then I`m done for the summer......... Yeah right :D

    You can find it, it's still there. But you have to google it. And the codes don't work on them. So I guess they take it off being visible to make it work properly.

    Apologies for the cheeky link (it is related) but if anyone is after a pair of the Pro Team bib shorts in XSmall then I'd listed a couple of brand new pairs here for just £100 (normally £190):

    viewtopic.php?f=40091&t=13076680&p=20080780&hilit=rapha+pro+team#p20080780

    I'm going to hang onto whichever pair doesn't go as they are lovely.

    They took off the Pro Team base layer bundles just as I was about to buy one :x

    Ordered my core bundle this morning, just before my Endura pac a jack turned up following another bikeradar deal link. Hanging around here is getting expensive

    Same here, Core Bundle for £96. I was considering some new bibs and a jersey, so this came at the right time.

    Ordered a core bundle at the weekend after seeing this thread. Thank you for the heads up. My first foray into Rapha gear so hope it lives up to all the hype!

    Size guidance please - medium (both jersey and bibs) in castelli?

    For size guidance, I'm a medium Castlelli. Rapha core bibs are a small and I have both an XS (long sleeve) and small shirt sleeve core jersey. I'm 5 foot 8 and just under 11 stone.
    The small jersey is a tad loose, but the XS short sleeve would be too tight with a base layer, weirdly the long sleeve is fine.

    Cheers. Think I'm going to hold off. I don't really need another jersey atm and, well it's Rapha. Uncertain about making that leap just yet...

    90 day returns so just keep it in stock and think about it for a while
    My wardrobe is full of Rapha stock I was going to send back :lol:

    So like others first foray into Rapha with this deal. Arrived today and jersey is faulty Rapha already has a new one on the way and my returns ticket ready to print. :(

    Bibs and jersey do feel nice though, will have to wait for a ride in them.

    Jerseys turned up today but both a bit big. Slightly surprised at the fit, even the pro team one is bigger than expected so will try medium instead.

    The barely snails pace of this delivery is putting me off rapha in the future. Must be taking advice from vulpine.

    3-5 days free postage and an influx of code spongers. What do you expect?

    My delivery and comms from Rapha was pretty good. Ordered on the Sunday using the MSR Code, email on Monday to say it had been despatched. Checked the link and could see it was in the Royal Mail Sorting Office, then delivered on the Wednesday.
    I just went with the usual free delivery method as I have always experienced pretty good deliveries with Rapha.
