Some big discounts in Halfords on Boardman and Altura clothing - a couple of jerseys (including long sleeved) for 6 EUR and jackets for 11 EUR. Collection only and a bit messy to find stock but good prices

Also picked up a jacket, cheers. Strangely, the pricescanner.ie website hasn't picked up these reductions

It's also on bibs. Just picked up a pair of Altura Progel with a €65 discount :-)

Where? I can’t find anywhere that has them available to pick up?

I can find them, just that they cant be collected, nor will they ship them, how did you get around this please?

I dont imagine you'll be getting them at that price, they are 56 pounds on the .com site, not 6 euro.(I do hope you do though)

That usually means it's out of stock at the particular store you are looking at. Try changing store to another one nearby (if there's one). Best of luck.

Ive just ordered a pair of these bib shorts and got a confirmation text. They'll be available to collect from Monday 4th Nov. from Drogheda shop.
Should I look for my 10% AXA discount ?

Just ordered a pair collection 4th November in Kilkenny

Dr_Colossus · 25-10-2019 10:01pm

Similar, got a pair of the bib shorts with confirmation text for collection from 4th Nov from Blanch. Surprised it's so far in the future if it's store stock as otherwise why wouldn't they ship internally or from a warehouse to your preferred store?

Couldn't find anywhere reasonable for the NV3 tights, I think Navan was the nearest that had any availability.

Plastik · 25-10-2019 10:03pm

Reserved some earlier today also. It'll be interesting to see if they turn up. It'd be far from the first time that I reserved from Halfords and nothing ever ended up coming.

sy_flembeck · 25-10-2019 11:13pm

Reserved one of these just now. Always like to have a spare in case of a tip. Don't know anything about Boardman helmets so if anyone has any negatives before I pick it up I'd welcome comments:

Was in the Kilkenny store yesterday and they had jerseys that I've ordered in the correct size in stock, but not showing as in stock on the website. It looks like their POS system might be a bit iffy. Also, items that were in the online sale are available but at list price.

Got a call from Halfords Blancherstown regarding my reserve and that they were informed by their main warehouse in Coventry that there was no stock available and order would be cancelled. When I said the confirmation text stated that it would not be available for collection until 4th Nov and that website showed availability on Fri for their store but not for others she said she'd keep the order open for now in the expectation that stock might become available.
Anyone else receive similar? Sounds like they're trying to reverse out of their sale price under the guise of no stock availability.

I'd a Blanchardstown reservation for November 2nd and I was told the same (by voicemail) about stock.

I don't think they're reneging on the sale price, rather the website / reservation system couldn't keep up with the demand. That sort of price is either a mistake or to get rid of stock quickly.

I've four orders with collection dates on 31 October, 02 November and 04 November. Not too hopeful of receiving any of them though and not sure why only some stores could receive the stock when it clearly is coming from a warehouse somewhere

Thank you CantGetNoSleep for this post - I would like to nominate this post for "Bargain of the year" accolade.

Picked up one of the reservations I had made during the week - boardman bib shorts, jersey etc. Decent quality, and a steal for 6 euro each. Also picked up that dark long sleeve Altura thermo jersey in shop - it was out of stock online, but there was one in shop with a marked down price of 61 euro - also 6 at the till.

Roberto_gas · 28-10-2019 7:28pm

Grabbed stuff worth 140 euros for 18 euros...Happy days

Fighting Tao · 28-10-2019 8:00pm

Halfords Coolock said they had loads of stock not on the shelf. Very little on display for some Odd reason. I got a couple of things from them.

Mine turned up today, collected from Halfords Carrickmines. Two bib shorts marked down from €142 to 12 quid, perfect for the commute.

Cheers op. Collected my order this morning. All 3 items I ordered turned up. Massive discount. Happy days

Utter Consternation · 29-10-2019 12:06pm

Slightly miffed that i did the click and collect option for a cycling jacket in Halfords in Carrickmines, i turned up and it was out of stock.

Slightly bizarre.

Cheers CantGetNoSleep just picked up my order jacket,progel bibs shorts and picked up another Jersey and the Altura LS thermal Jersey.

The Altura LS said it was out of stock but when I went in there was one on the rack with no sales tag. I asked at the till and it scanned at €6 so happy days.

I'd recommend people go into the stores as theres all sorts on the racks and be sure to look at the items as some are in rag order clearly buried down the back for years.

Thanks again

Did the mail say it was in stock ? I ordered a few things and some stated they wouldn’t be in stock till November, although I did get a call to say they were now in.

For what’s it worth I got the board an rain jacket and also picked up an Alturra rain jacket my brother had reserved in Carrickmines

CantGetNoSleep · 29-10-2019 7:13pm

Glad a lot of people got sorted. My order arrived to the store for pickup - a Boardman rain jacket and removable sleeve jacket for 11 each (total saving 114 euro), an Altura and a Boardman jersey for 6 each (total saving 78 euro) and two pairs of Altura bibs for 6 each (total saving 130 euro). So paid 46€ for stuff with an RRP of 368€!

Also forgot that I had ordered the Lezyne light on here a few weeks ago

I ordered an Altura jacket for €12 and a pair of clear glasses for €6 last week from Halfords Coolock. Got a call a short while later that the glasses were out of stock - no worries I thought.
Went to pick up the jacket an hour ago and lo and behold the glasses were there for me. Happy days!
Have to collect a pair of Altura Progel Bib Shorts from Liffey Valley for €6 tomorrow
