Mr. Porter 50% off sale - picked up gucci tux etc already - Page 16

Those swims were great, yeah. I should have got those too.

That whole system was messed up. The new sale in the US is much better and surprisingly a bunch of sizes were still available earlier today.

Were the swims up during the Founder's sale? I didn't notice them until the day after the sale was over. I would have picked them up with my JLs if I had seen them.

Yeah they were available during the Founders sale and I debated over them for quite some time, but only because I just didn't feel like paying $12.50 for shipping again on just the Swims...bad logic I know considering how much money I just dropped for 2 pairs of shoes. I guess I just assumed they'd be 50% off again a week later on the public sale...thank God I didn't assume that for the JL's themselves.

Went for several e tautz items after they were discounted 70%, hopefully they turn out great.

I got the founding members email and at first tried to access the sale and it said it wasn't on for international stores yet (Australia), but I went ahead and checked out with a gucci tuxedo just to see and the 50% discount was applied at checkout! Amazed at the saving. Even called up the UK to make sure they will give refunds if the size is incorrect

Received this from them today

"Thank you for your email.

The John Lobb shoes have now been marked as wardrobe staples
on MR PORTER to distinguish which items are included in the
Founding Member Sale Preview.

They will not be included in the forthcoming Sales on MR PORTER.

We offer a wide range of exciting shoe labels which are included in
the sale and you may wish to consider.

Please do let us know if you require any further assistance."

Just to confirm: so you do get a full refund even on sale items? I find it a bit confusing because in the international stores there is no sale tab, so you have to look up all the sale items up in the US store then proceed in your respective countries store. PS. Return is free right (I'm in the Netherlands)? UPDATE: I answered my own question. I got a an answer from a Mr Porter rep and he confirmed that the "returns policy during the sale period is the same as our normal returns policy."

Extra 30% off at checkout for sale items...and free shipping. Unfortunately nothing left in the sale in my size interests me.

I'd like a PM for the next founder's sale.

Looks like they're gearing up for another Founder's Sale. Mentioned in the email today... and a lot of items that weren't marked essentials/staples now are.

So, getting the dumb questions out if the way, only the founder members get access to the sale? And if you weren't there at the beginning, you can only get others to proxy for you?

Founder first for like 1-3 weeks then public, or that is what happened last time.

For the public, it is worth the wait as most things are still available from my experience.

Not worth a proxy unless you feel the item you're waiting for will sell out fast.

^^ Thanks.

IIRC the Lobbs sold out pretty quickly the last time though. Did not get to the general public at the 50% off prics. But I could be wrong.
