    Seems to be no way to see which styles are covered by the 50% off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭carltonleon


    It looks 2 me to be all 30 pairs , I tried a few and the code applied to all of them.
    I’m a bit of a sunglasses junkie and already own 2 pairs of Oakleys and 2 pairs of Ray Bans so even though I’m tempted I’m going to keep my money in my pocket this time. Really good deal though as Ray Bans are really good quality

    No discount on wayfarers either.


  • Registered Users Posts: 695 ✭✭✭you2008


    what a waste my 5 mints time


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭Masala


    Throw up the ones with 50% off if anyone finds them...saves us trawling to and from Pay Now and finding no discount!

    Thanks

    EDIT...... Found it!!! on top of page is PROMO and when clicked it lists 19 Pairs that are in the Sale.

    The ones I want are listed in that 19 but applying the promo code FLASHSALE does nothing to the price
    Yeah, same here.

    Possibly a scam ???

    When I clicked on that earlier there were 30 Pairs but obviously some have been sold and are out of stock, I noticed on one of the ones I picked that it said 7 pairs left.

    I doubt it is a scam as if it was then surely they would have every pair showing at a discount to entice you to spend

    Hope not! I bought the most expensive ones

    It isn’t a scam it’s just a sh7t sale - 30 pairs in the flash sale as I was on it as soon as the bargain was posted and I clicked several of those and tried to apply the discount code but nothing

    Money saved by not buying them lol

    The colours that come up are the promo ones. The other colours I think are not on promo

    Name one pair.

    The first pair that come up on the link that I posted - JUSTIN COLOR MIX. The price reduces from €132 to €66 when the code is added. I found others.

    I bought another pair just before I started the thread.

    The 50% discount only applied after I added the items to my bag - click on the “Shop Now” button, then click on the Shopping Bag” button, then apply the FLASHSALE code in the “promo code” Box and the 50% discount is applied.

    I don’t know how many sunglasses are eligible for the 50% discount, and there may be a bit of work in searching, but it is a genuine promotion from Rayban.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,682 ✭✭✭ablelocks


    18 glasses show in the "EU Flash Sale 50 Off" - only 2 of which i like but code was invalid for both (worked on the Justin Color Mix though) - more than likely there's a glitch and as there's no chat support over the weekend, it probably won't be fixed until Monday.

    but there's a separate sale too - upto 50% off - with price reductions shown in the description. Click promo in the top right corner, in the pop up box click "upto 50% off selected glasses" and you get the full listing.

    Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but someone mentioned scam.

    The whole glasses industry, including RaeBans are a scam. Here's a 60 minutes investigation into the industry. It'll open your eyes, I hope.

    Basically an Italian firm Luxottica, controls and makes most of the glasses, including Rayban, sold everywhere in the world, .

    Doesn't alter the fact that they & Oakley are the best lenses you can buy & nothing compares to them. They last a lifetime.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,936 ✭✭✭IrishHomer


    Agree re Oakley.

    I've a pair 22 years! I even say on them in my car they just clicked apart and clicked right back still going strong 💪

    Mine are on their 4th set of earsocks. I also have a cycling pair that are worth more now than when I bought them

    What is your conclusion from that? All sunglasses are the same? Oakleys made before its takeover by Luxottica are better than those available now?

    That is not a description of a scam. More like anti-competitive behaviour


  • Registered Users Posts: 616 ✭✭✭BrendanD


    Sorry for off topic but could anyone recommend some nice sunglasses that don’t cost a lot ?

    They had a similar sale about 6 months ago, was here in BA and was the same, promo code not working on a load of items in the sale section.

    Regarding all sunglasses being the same, I had loads of cheapish glasses and now have genuine raybans, the difference in quality is huge, the raybans feel indestructable and of course the lens will offer proper protection.


  • Registered Users Posts: 605 ✭✭✭meath4sam


    Anyone find any still on sale?

    Those Justin Color Mix Brown Grey gradient ones are the only pair I’m interested in that are still successfully applying the code. Any of the other ones I was interested in are sold out but when you click on them, it brings you to the range. Code seems to only apply to the specific model rather than the range.

    Asos have a good collection of cheap and cheerful ones. I got these recently for €14 and I'm very happy with them. Obviously they're nowhere near the quality of Ray Bans, but I lose them so often I no longer allow myself good ones!

    Exactly I keep losing them ; wife bought me a pair of ray bans a few years ago lost them after about a month ; am happy now with the cheap ones 😄

    Thanks OP i just ordered a pair at 50% off. I hope they're nice on.:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭Masala


    It’s a load of Bollix.. mods should list as spam as there is no real bargain here

    apart from the 50 or so pairs that are 50% off

    they mightn't be for you, but some people might find a pair that they consider a bargain.

    I tried buying the clubmaster or whatever they are called in the colour that showed up and the code made no difference at all

    At first I thought it might be only the colours but maybe they only have a certain few at 50% off and someone got the sale pair before you

    Sunglasses arrived today, just in time for the rain.

    Excellent quality. I'm very impressed with them. Just looking forward to some sunshine so I can wear them.
