Just received a card in the post today from Oroton regarding this sale which is pretty good, seeing as they rarely have sales and the ones I have seen in the past have only been 30% off.

Please note that the sale starts on Wednesday 13 May and finishes on Sunday 17 May 2009 - so I don't think the code will work just yet.

EDIT: this code will work with the Oroton online store ONLY. To receive the discount instore you will have to present the original card, simply quoting the code won't be sufficient.

    Oh, forgot to say, first post, be nice :P lol NOT!!!!! If you don't like the deal, then say so. I dunno what it is with all the recent OzB newbs having to end with that line, like a negative comment will bring their world crashing down.

    In other news, just noticed this sale also applies to certain Polo Ralph Lauren products at selected Myer, DJs and Polo stores. However to avail yourself of that offer you will need to present this orotongroup postcard that they've sent out.

  • hazwing on 11/05/2009 - 17:22

    hmm… my girlfriend would be interested in this. So to take advantage of the deal, you don't need the card? You can just tell them that code?

    • ccrap on 11/05/2009 - 19:13

      Yes, that's correct, you don't need the card when ordering online, just type the promo code when placing your order. However to receive the discount instore you have to present the card.

  • chocohoney on 11/05/2009 - 17:30

    yeah can we use this deal with the code only?
    can we order online with this special?

    • ccrap on 11/05/2009 - 19:23

      Umm yes, the site won't automatically slash prices by 50% during the sale period, you will need to enter the code as it is not a public offer.

      Yes, ONLY online. To get the discount in store you will need to present the original postcard which Oroton has sent out, you can't just walk in and quote the code for a discount.

  • impoze on 11/05/2009 - 18:55

    site seems to be down?

  • siuol on 11/05/2009 - 19:02

    Hopefully nobody here is stupid enough to phone them and verifying the code?

  • lplau on 11/05/2009 - 19:39

    site appears to be bombarded. It will eventually load just extremely slow.

  • lily on 11/05/2009 - 21:12

    Sale isn't until Wed - don't know why the site would be slow to load already.

    • ccrap on 11/05/2009 - 22:04

      It's because as lily said below, everyone is hammering the website to see what is available so they can order on the 1st day before the online stocks run out, as they cant use this deal instore unless they too receive the card from orotongroup.

  • Black Hole on 11/05/2009 - 21:14

    So what is the code?

    • ccrap on 11/05/2009 - 22:04

      donkeykong, it's FF09.

      • ccrap on 11/05/2009 - 22:05

        It's on the first line matey.

  • scotty on 11/05/2009 - 21:15

    1,700+ clicks within 4 hours from OzBargain (and probably more from other sites). Maybe that's the reason of going off line?

    • lily on 11/05/2009 - 21:26

      yeh you're right. It's also been posted on vogue forums. Lots of excited girls wanting to see what is in store so they can snap up Wednesday morning

    • ccrap on 11/05/2009 - 22:11

      woohoo 2100+ clicks in 5 hrs.. i'm feeling the love.. glad to give back to the fantastic OzBargain community from which I have taken so much (good deals) in the last few years.. keep up the great work Scotty

  • mrbombastic on 11/05/2009 - 21:24

    give you that one

  • Black Hole on 11/05/2009 - 23:58

    Are those prices over inflated? They are not cheap :-(

    • ccrap on 12/05/2009 - 00:17

      I too only just managed to get on the site :) If by over inflated you mean have they bumped up prices for the sale then the answer is no. Oroton's products are always that price, and the reason they rarely go on sale are because they make pretty good quality stuff that are in high demand. You can check out the quality/price of their goods in myers and DJs stores.

  • PcisT on 12/05/2009 - 01:07

    Has anyone sussed out postage costs when ordering online? I don't want to sign up giving my personal details to find out, just yet.

  • DKC on 12/05/2009 - 01:20

    For one simple clutch bag:
    Standard Delivery - 5-7 work days (incl. Handling, Freight & Insurance) (AUD 9.95)
    Express Delivery - 2-3 work days (incl. Handling, Freight & Insurance) (AUD 14.95)

  • lily on 12/05/2009 - 09:53

    From their shipping info - it's a standard rate. They use Fed Ex

  • lily on 12/05/2009 - 11:04

    FYI - the site has just completely crashed

    Why does there have to be 8 pages of ladies wallets!! and no option to view all.

  • cyrax83 on 12/05/2009 - 11:26

    Goodluck buying anything, the site is going to crash (think Jetstar).

  • lily on 12/05/2009 - 11:33

    seems they took the site offline to update it a little. I can see all the wallets now on 1 page

    it's moving faster now too

    • agoodtip on 12/05/2009 - 12:11

      still very very slow …

      • lily on 12/05/2009 - 13:16

        i must have been on at a good time. now it's offline again

  • lplau on 12/05/2009 - 11:44

    where do you enter in the discount code? i have progressed to the payment page and it doesn't have anywhere to enter in discount.

    • akanie on 12/05/2009 - 11:58

      sale starts on Wednesday 13 May and finishes on Sunday 17 May 2009

  • lplau on 12/05/2009 - 21:11

    order placed. took awhile and thought it would timeout during processing, but just gave it some time.

    i expect the website to crash anytime now, so get in quick while you can.

  • msbluberry on 12/05/2009 - 21:40

    Fantastic find. Just placed my order too, very slow but patience pays off :D

  • azndragon168 on 12/05/2009 - 22:59

    Where do you enter the code? How do we know that our c/card will the charged the discounted price and not full price?

    • pw2002au on 12/05/2009 - 23:04

      On the first review order screen (first screen of checkout - scroll down a bit on the form) - do not proceed to your cc details until you see the reduction.

      • azndragon168 on 13/05/2009 - 07:04

        Thanks pw2002au. It works. I had to login before I could see the code field. Great deal. Thanks again!

  • pw2002au on 12/05/2009 - 23:00

    Also ordered - although several mens belts and limited edition bags were already gone :-)

    Still disappointed about no Polo stuff … might see if I can chat to some staff tomorrow about getting 50% off without the card anyhow.

  • THEMAN_AUS on 12/05/2009 - 23:04

    code works. Tried to resist but ah, got myself a leather manbag.

    LOL

  • Xperia on 12/05/2009 - 23:34

    Code works. I ordered 3 items from there. Even for special price item, it'll be reduced 50% off as well! Thanks :)

    I got a $500 gift card for $250!

      I got a $500 gift card for $250!

      Better still, use it at an outlet.

    Is the online price exactly the same as in store price?

    • lily on 13/05/2009 - 09:22

      Yep. you just have to pay the additional postage costs $10 regular or $15 express

  • tokyo on 13/05/2009 - 08:11

  • Sharp on 13/05/2009 - 08:27

    couldnt find giftcard link. Has it been removed?

    • mrp on 13/05/2009 - 08:58

      No they are just hard to find. Go to "gifts for men" or "gifts for women" and then scroll right to the bottom and in the list of links in grey there is a "Gift Card" one. ;)

      Or…

      http://www.oroton.com/c-61-gift-card.aspx?pagesize=1000

      The discount on a gift card really seems ridiculous.

      • pw2002au on 13/05/2009 - 09:00

        Here's hoping they honor it … that would be fantastic :-)

        • ccrap on 13/05/2009 - 15:35
          +1

          I think they might honour it (don't hold me to this):

          When I was at the Birkenhead Point store earlier today I saw a girl come from the back room and tell the 2 checkout chicks that apparently some gift cards have been sold online at 50% so if anyone tries to pay with giftcard just doublecheck if it's ok with her.

          I think this might be so people who managed to get the giftcards at 50% don't come into the store with the F&F card for a 50% discount whilst paying for the goods with their already 50% off giftcards ie buying goods at 75% off.

          Either way good luck and hope you get the giftcards.

          • pw2002au on 13/05/2009 - 16:04

            @ccrap: Good luck with that as they take a minimum two days to get to you.

      • Blinda on 13/05/2009 - 09:02

        It has been removed or sold out

        • mrp on 13/05/2009 - 09:04

          Yes, confirmed they are gone. :)

  • ccrap on 13/05/2009 - 09:46

    nooo, was so ready to buy up the gift cards for use at the factory outlets hehe.

    for those who will try the old google cache method to access the gift cards, don't bother, coz I did - once you try to add the gift card from the cached page it disappears as the gift cards have been removed from oroton's system.

    hope those who managed to nab some have their orders honoured.

  • lplau on 13/05/2009 - 10:06

    lol, website is down now. lucky i ordered yesterday night.

  • afrowan on 13/05/2009 - 10:31

    Its still working, but just slow. i just finish ordered a few bags XD

    • Blinda on 13/05/2009 - 10:38

      "A few"
      You magic card must been hurt.
      Ordered 2 last night.

  • afrowan on 13/05/2009 - 10:50

    Its not all for me, i dont think Oroton will have this 50% off again after this time, specially the ones that be able to get those gift cards early. SO it is time to Stock some items!!

    • ccrap on 13/05/2009 - 15:30

      Yup they not gonna have it for a long time coz people have gone insane this time :) n it certainly didn't feel like we were in a recession at the Oroton store..

      • PhoenixXx on 14/05/2009 - 00:25

        Yup, couldn't feel any recession at all. Oroton couldn't offer this promotion at a better time, ie when most ppl had received the stimulus package.

  • tm14 on 13/05/2009 - 11:56

    this is one friggin sweet Deal!

  • leoleakey on 13/05/2009 - 12:39

  • cyrax83 on 13/05/2009 - 14:21

    place was packed on pitt st, big line out the door. bought bag, 4 cufflinks, wallet and a keyring.

    • pw2002au on 13/05/2009 - 14:31

      Here on collins st in melb it was much the same … thought about taking a photo ;-)

      Mind you the Polo store was only about 1/4 full so it seems Orotons all the rage at the moment.

    • afrowan on 13/05/2009 - 15:16

      Are you saying the store has 50% off as well?

      • ccrap on 13/05/2009 - 15:25
        +1

        Store has 50% off if you received the card from Oroton.

        Same story at Parramatta. They have a security guard letting one person in every 5 or so mins, felt like I was queuing for a club lol.

        Birkenhead point wasn't too busy though and they are an outlet store which means you get 50% off the already reduced prices. Needless to say my magic card got a thorough work out here :)

  • Xperia on 13/05/2009 - 20:09

    "Wait, you ordered before the sale starts? No wonder it is down - Oroton has probably got wind and canned it."

    Yes, I ordered 11.20 PM last night before the sale start and the discount code worked. I supposed they probably don't have standby IT person to enabled discount from 12 AM. But anyway… I got wallet, keyring and very nice umbrella to go with my handbag LOL. Oroton barely have sale like this so yeah…I can't understand why people went crazy instore or online LOL.

  • lily on 13/05/2009 - 20:38

    I sent my brother down to get a few items for me, and he was able to purchase items without the card.

    There are just too many ppl in store, the shop assistants aren't going to refuse sale, unless they're really tight about it

    He wasn't really happy about having to push through all the women to get my umbrellas. They sold out fast online!!!
    Glad i asked him to go, he got the last ones!

    • msbluberry on 13/05/2009 - 21:25

      Hey there, which store did he go to? I'm thinking of heading down to Chadstone tommoz, has anyone tried to get the 50% discount there without the card?

  • Aladin on 13/05/2009 - 23:52

    and we have recession and economic crisis here? We spent too much shopping online! oh no…

    • jiakz on 14/05/2009 - 09:22

      think of it as stocking up :p

  • AlexDj on 14/05/2009 - 11:16

    Yes you can most likely purchase at the discount rate in store, provided that you are on the O-list. I had not been on their database when they searched (as I had signed up to the O-list online the night befre), however, i stated that I should be as I filled a form out in store last year and also signed up online.. so they added me to the list in store and gave me 50% with no hassles.

  • pw2002au on 14/05/2009 - 16:12

    Im still yet to receive an invoice acknowledgement on the gift card purchases (although have received one for the other order of products online).

    If anyone purchased the cards separately and has received an invoice could they please reply here.

    I have noticed that there intermediary credit card company "OROTON ETAILING SYDNEY NSW" has charged my card though … so fingers are still crossed.

  • lplau on 15/05/2009 - 14:18

    ordered my wallet on tuesday night and recieved it today. awesome and quick

  • pwanda on 15/05/2009 - 21:32

    Just came back from Chadstone store - the store was overcrowded to the point doors were closed with queuing for entrance.

    FOr those who did not receive the promo card - don't worry. Everyone receives the 50% discount.

  • POWERevolution on 15/05/2009 - 21:52

    belt AUD 95.00
    cufflinks $95-$125

    Hmmm…Where's the bargain?

  • Xperia on 15/05/2009 - 22:46

    Went to Oroton shop in Canberra Centre and got a sunglasses. I was a bit hesitant to buy online until I tried it. No card needed. Shop Assistant gave everyone 50% OFF but they don't put the sale up instore. There was queue instore and door was closed to limit customers inside but it went pretty quick.

    Powerevolution, Oroton items are rarely go on sale like this. People know that and this is probably the best sale they ever offered as far as I remember. I have one Oroton wallet I bought 8 years ago and still look great despite regular use.

  • quackster on 16/05/2009 - 16:16

    This bargain has confirmed my worst fear… that OzBargain makes me spend more, not less.

  • ccrap on 16/05/2009 - 23:14

    confirmed ladies and gents.. you can now pretty much rock up to any oroton store and get 50% off without the card, there's so many ppl at the stores that staff cant be stuffed checking who has the card.. having said that do as AlexDj says above and just sign up online before rocking up to the store in case the staff at your outlet are tight..

    @quackster: this deal has definitely taken a chunk, if not all, of many people's stimulus payments harhar :)

  • ccrap on 18/05/2009 - 01:35

    wow.. end of an era.. it's gonna be a long time before oroton do this again..

    9400+ click throughs but only 68+ votes.. lol looks like ozbargain was hotlinked all over the interweb.. pleased with my first post yay :D

    EDIT: deal is still alive online.. guess it will be turned off by their IT guys in the morning.. get in quick, i think the only item left is the bespoke $1500 clutch for $750 :) seriously, entire categories have been removed from their site haha

  • Blinda on 18/05/2009 - 12:33

    Got a huge box dropped at reception just now…

    Thanks ccrap

  • Black Hole on 19/05/2009 - 10:38

    Got my two brief cases and a wallet. I still think it is over price after 50% for what I got. I am not happy with the simple two prong key for the lock. A child could easy open this. I expected more space but hard to judge online. Oh well, ebay time.

  • afrowan on 20/05/2009 - 13:35

    received my bags this morning!!!with a huge packing box

  • pw2002au on 21/05/2009 - 11:46
