    It didn't work for me either. I take it this was a limited, one-day offer?

    Thanks for the tip guys - got the gift box last night. Can always use a second Sunspel shirt!

    Failed to work for me today too adn I ordered mine yesterday.

    Sorry guys but it looks like they closed the Voucher code. Looks like they got many AJB orders and desided to close it down. It is a shame.

    Congrats to those who were able to get in. Others may want to email Dominic at Sunspel and see why they closed it down.

    Dominic emailed me this morning and wanted to know where we received that code from...I had the feeling they did not know the code was still active or that the ordering would be so robust...hopefully he will get back to me and I will share his answer with everyone.

    Mantis, let Dominic know that it was from a google search that I found it. I looked when I was ordering my CR shirts and the Sunspel site had a option box for a voucher code. Search was sunspel+voucher+code. It refered to Dominic's reply to a BBC story.

    paxo-challenge not working for me either.
    Things like this are often too good to be true ?:)
  • Red IndianRed Indian BostonPosts: 427MI6 Agent
    Thanks for the info guys. No worries, I'm going to order soon anyway! With all of the positive reviews/endorsements from here, and the fact that I've been chomping at the bit for that polo I can't say no!

    If Sunspel were smart, they would re-activate it. Just look at how much business it resulted in for them in only a few days!
  • cpoulos62cpoulos62 Station UPosts: 451MI6 Agent
    DEVONKNIGHT, you are right. In like only 24 hours they probably sold dozens of each CR items.

    Hopefully Mantis can reach to Dominic from Sunspel to reactivate it at least for us.

    That would be great if he could. Let's hope!

    Damn just tried it and the site said the code isnt valid.
  • James BoldmanJames Boldman Amherst, MAPosts: 464MI6 Agent
    I emailed Dominic, he said it was an old code and is no longer valid. He did give me a code for 15% off.
    Perhaps if you guys email him, he'd do the same.

    Dominic was nice enough to issue this statement specifically for AJB:

    Please explain that this discount was in direct response to Jeremy Paxman's complaints about underwear from M&S earlier in the year and was applicable to underwear predominently for this reason (article attached.)

    As a thank you for your help, I have extended a voucher code discount of 15% on the Sunspel site for you to mention, which I hope should go some way to compensate and will be usable for the month of April - please feel free to publish.

    Use sunspelfriends in the appropraite box.

    With many thanks
    Dominic

    Does this mean they will not be fufilling our 50% off orders?

    Sunspel WILL be honoring all orders received while the code was good so those of you that jumped on the 50% code should pat themselves on the back for not hesitating! AND a major thank you to cpoulos62!!! {[]

    that's good news for those, who have ordered in time.

    I have tried to order within 24 hours after the news have been released and am disappointed, that they won't accept it to me, so, I won't jump on the 15% offer.

    Sunspel missed a good chance to convince me for their product by having a first small order for trying. :(

    Thanks James, 15% is still something. Sorry about those who missed out on the big discount.
  • DEVONKNIGHTDEVONKNIGHT CanadaPosts: 100MI6 Agent
    I think it would have been in their best interests to still honor the 50% voucher code. I'm sure Sunspel items are not exactly flying off the shelves at the price they're at. Oh well.

    You're right DEVONKNIGHT but at 50% off they were. :)) That is why they pulled it.
  • James BoldmanJames Boldman Amherst, MAPosts: 464MI6 Agent
    I have the navy polo, and although expensive I say it's well worth it. That's why even though I missed out on the 50%, I still took the 15% for the box set. If you want quality you have a pay a little.
  • DEVONKNIGHTDEVONKNIGHT CanadaPosts: 100MI6 Agent
    15% isn't very much of a discount though. Back in January they were giving 20% on all their items.
  • Red IndianRed Indian BostonPosts: 427MI6 Agent
    For those of you in the U.S. who have purchased from Sunspel, can you please tell me what carrier they use for shipping and how long it takes to receive them? Thanks in advance...

    You will receive it from Royal Mail via US postal service. My orders typically take 10 - 14 days.

    Damn. It's a shame I couldn't get more info about the fit of the tops in time. 50% off was worth it, 15% is just not enough off for me.

    Would have liked to try their egyptian cotton tshirts. Shame no stores around melbourne stock sunspel for me to try on.

    How does the sizing compare to the US.. Smaller? If I wear a XL US, will I need an XXL ?

    cheers
  • James BoldmanJames Boldman Amherst, MAPosts: 464MI6 Agent
    slightly smaller, and they don't have XXL. I guess they don't have McDonalds over there.
