Alex said yesterday, on sale at least until april! :(

slx ranges, not on sale anymore? :(
We have sold through all of the SLX stock reserved for the sale in just 3 days - we were not quite aware of just how popular the sale would be on the SLX range. The SLX range is still on a 'partial sale' though with every pole purchased coming with a free carbon gooseneck and brush (worth £55+VAT)
We have now had to restrict the 'Carbon Pole Sale' to the Super-Max40, Super-Max45, Super-Max47, Xtreme18, Xtreme25, Xtreme35, Xtreme47 & all Xtreme telescopic extensions.
The sale is going to be on until April, but not in all of the sizes. We were just completely swamped over the last three days with the sheer volume of sales in the SLX range particularly - nearly 2 month's sales in just 3 days.

They didn't - through the day I kept changing the website gradually removing different sizes of poles as the orders came in. We had four extra members of staff in today and were doing a 'virtual' stock take every 20 minutes. At one point I did have to put one size back on that had been taken off - due to our stock taking skills :)

You need a decent shopping cart system then that you can load with the amount of stock you have that automatically deducts one each time you sell one. That was what my £19.99 EKM site did.

So how can you still have the 22 slx in stock but not in the sale ??? ??? ???

Just a subtle but significant change because you previously wrote:
It will continue until we have sold out of all our current stock of poles. I anticipate the sale lasting at least until the beginning of April. It is worth bearing in mind though that some of these pole sizes will sell out sooner than other sizes. Xtreme18s have already sold out - SLX18s and SMAX50s are also getting low from internet sales over the weekend.

That too is my only gripe. Of course I understand retail sales and how they change at any moment but I purposely left it till I had a free night to make my order (last night) based on the above post I had read. Nevermind though as Alex said they were caught out by demand. Hey ho...

Collating stock was more complicated than this but an accurate stock taking method is certainly needed and being worked on.
-
So how can you still have the 22 slx in stock but not in the sale ??? ??? ???
I have made sure that we have a handful of SLX poles which are there for those clients that really need a pole in the next two months rather than just buying a sale pole.
-
so in other words the sale is just like any other sale you only had a couple off each item in the sale ???

The speed in which the SLXs were being bought was completely unexpected and not foreseen by me. I had made the above statement thinking that we would have these pole sizes available through to the end of March which the odd size going out of stock along the way - not only after 3 days. Because of this I had to make the business decision to make sure I had a handful of SLXs left in stock for those who really need one through next month. Technically the SLX range is still on sale as it is being sold with free carbon gooseneck and free Super-Lite brush (worth £55).
-

No and don't let the Workshop see you post that. They were working until 8.30 pm last night fulfilling orders. We had 4 extra members of staff employed all day yesterday.
Only the SLX poles have come off the sale as these were the sizes that sold so rapidly from Friday evening through to Monday afternoon.

You never worried about holding stock back before when you used to sell out of slx's and they weren't back in stock for weeks. Surely the people who are buying the sale pole have the entitlement to one now as opposed to someone who "really need one through next month". All sounds a bit lame imo
-
well said mate .if you start a sale off certain poles they should be sold until stocks run out I think you should honour what you start
-

I think we should take Alex at his word, I can see why he wouldn't want to be out of stock of every slx for months. It did used to happen and he got slated for it. Why would he want to go back to that.
I also think all this griping at him is a good way to make sure a sale doesn't happen again.
-
well said mate .if you start a sale off certain poles they should be sold until stocks run out I think you should honour what you start
Silly statement. if you have sale you don't have to run it until all sold out.
go to tesco and complain that they had pack of crisps on sale and now they discontinued that sale but still have some stock left
-
Yh come on Alex be fair and have an endless sale ::)roll ;D

its not silly statement. alex said the sale was until the poles ran out and hes now moved the goal posts. get your tongue out of his @r5e ffs
-
in tesco s it always states when sales end . alex said end of march or when stocks run out you cant stop a sale off an item just because stocks run low
-

I'm afraid he can do whatever he wants. He owes nobody anything.
All this Alex bashing is lame. No wonder most suppliers don't post on here, they get bashed no matter how approachable and reasonable they are.
-
I bet the next time Alex has a sale those 22s will now sell even quicker. Fair play to you Alex ;D
I'm thinking discounted first cleans for the next 10 custys...or probably not!
-
Not sure what all the moaning is about, Alex had poles on sale, they sold, sale ended.
I missed out which i was gutted but.........
I have just got a SLX25 from Sure clean systems, thanks Alex and Sure clean!!!!!
;D ;D ;D
-
I agree. what the hell are you moaning about?! its his business and he can run it out however he wants. most wfp companies dont have sales like this, and i for one am very happy to have saved over £150 on something I was going to buy anyway.
Just because something is typed on an internet forum doesnt mean things wont change
-
Any thermobore in yet alex?
-
hi alex I bought my slx 18 and slx 25, 2 years ago were my free carbon gooseneck and brush (worth £55+VAT)
:'(

you can't say the sale will last until end of march and 3 days later stop the sale! not fair!

If that genuinely happened then its unfortunate and I sympathise.
Why take the passive aggressive approach though? A simple email explaining the situation to Alex will, I'm sure, lead to a satisfactory outcome. He tends to be a reasonable chap in situations like this.

deeeege,do you work for gardiner?

Nope. This is the only thread that I've been a Gardiner fanboy too.
I just found some peoples sense of entitlement hilarious when he ended the sale.

It isn't about entitlement, it's about the odd way it was all conducted. A sale supposedly until the stock is sold, then the sale is pulled before the stock is gone and conflicting information about the reaon for its ending.
The real point is that if the firm had not posted on the subject of the sale and when it is due to end, none of this and speculation about the reaons would be occurring. It is just bad PR.
Gardiners and others would be better ignoring 99% of the threads on here in my opinion.

I know Alex's (as i guess that is who your referring to?) whole business is built around being 'professional and helpful' on forums - other companies do things differently.

Sunshine for you to make that post I can pretty much guarantee you haven't got Phoenix, not used one and probably never seen them in real life! ;)
It would be interesting to see if Alex has a new range, as I can't see who will buy it as every man and his dog are spent out on this sale! ;D

I didn't. So what have you got that's cheaper and better than the Gardiners Xtreme pole in high modulus carbon please? Cash waiting.

Yes i am pleased for him but still unfair for us who didn't have time to buy on sale ;D
I am always nice anyway Gold ;)
