oxfordfowler Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) I was just wondering has anyone else tried to make use of the discount (upto 60%) offer being advertise by BASC for members to purchase Rivers West clothing?. I have been trying to purchase a Eider jacket but to no avail - I have complete the order form and opened an account (all of which works fine) and my details come OK - BUT - when I click to PAY the screen tells me (5 times) that there is an error and I should try again later. I've tried later no change. Am I going some thing wrong or is anybody else experiencing problems?. OXF Eider Jacket - Price £199.95 discount £79.96 Offer price £119:99 Kentdale Parka - Price £249.95 discount £109.66 Offer price £139.99 I've had a quick look on ebay Eider jackets around the £180 mark Edited December 19, 2012 by oxfordfowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Haven't tried yet but will do tonight and let you know. What was the discount on the eider jacket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Does the discount apply to ALL RW clothing? I was thinking about dipping my hand in for the Jarrett Jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moor man Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) I tried too, no luck. Bit strange as it wont tell you how much p+p is. Is discount on top of those prices? Keep getting message 'ERROR try again'. Ive been stung before so wont order till they let me know P+P. No telephone either :hmm:I think its a bit sus. Has anyone successfully ordered here? Cheers MM.

Greymaster Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Does the discount apply to ALL RW clothing? I was thinking about dipping my hand in for the Jarrett Jacket. It seems not. It is a special microsite for BASC members, offloading a very limited line of items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laird Lugton Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Interestingly no Eider jackets appear on the microsite this morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordfowler Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I've e mailed BASC and had a reply. There is a problem with the web site. It will be interesting to see if this offer actually produces any good discounts or not?. Checked the microsite again today still doesn't work and yes the Eider Jacket has been removed - how suspectis that Edited December 20, 2012 by oxfordfowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxfordfowler Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I complained to BASC (again) earlier today. The reply I received advised that I could ring and order. I have phoned RW on that number - and guess what - not chance of ordering anything that way. Apparently the microsite is based in the USA and that is where the problem is. Also advised that they are only selling what amounts to old poorly selling stock. The BASC needs to get this offer sorted and clarified PDQ as it looks from here like so much @@@@@@@@@@@@@.

oxfordfowler Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Just had a look at the web site for this offer. The site has been changed and now advises that there is a fault and customers should e mail basc@riverswest - leave your phone number and then someone from the USA will phone you back and take your order. Trouble is - now there is an even smaller selection as I notice other items are no longer being advertised. I've just received a new Cabelas catalogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurona12 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Looks like the clothing will be coming from the US. Watch out for the import + VAT charges if thats the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordfowler Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Subject took another twist today. Further e mail from BASC - you can now get the same discount offer from Bushwear in the UK. It's on the Bushwear web site (I just looked) but the selection is still just as poor.

Yoggy Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Might as well give up Stu, I tried myself this morning. Save your money and hopefully our contact in the U.S will bring us back a few goodies!!!!!!! :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save your money and hopefully our contact in the U.S will bring us back a few goodies!!!!!!! :whistling: Hi Yoggy, Yep agreed - that is what I was thinking Must admit though that I am rather disappointed that this offer was so widely advertised by the BASC - what should have been a good deal . Me thinks that who ever set this up at the BASC should have checked that it all worked first.

[Although I have just bought the RW canyon waistcoat in Max 4 from Bushwear for 19.99 which is a good buy!!
