PINCHME

Received email from Pinchme with $15 voucher for The Home homewares/sales site. Bought wine glass set for $4.95 with voucher, paid with PayPal, was not charged for shipping (usually $9.95). Not sure if this is part of voucher promo, or some website glitch. Happy with my set of 6 crystal Stolzle wine glasses for $4.95 all up!
Voucher has now (18/06/14) been revised to $30 minimum spend.
Referral credits going, so feel free to use my referral link if you're pleased with this bargain info :) http://thehome.com.au/r/uu5330082
Edit: Referrer gets $10 credit for every successful purchace

          i think they will use the excuse "the promo code was leaked on to a forum with high internet traffic blah blah blah"

          You seem to be well-informed easternculture, did you contact them?

          You seem to be well-informed easternculture, did you contact them?

          not at all, cause id love to get my free 4 glasses (2 orders)

          But if they are like/affiliated to ozsale, i predict they will do this.

          my friend works in a marketing company and ive heard him talk of similar events

          It also happened on ozbargain too with a deal in which they claimed "the promo code was leaked on to a forum ….." , but cant remember which one it was

          EDIT: The $10/$20 myer vouchers was the one that got cancelled due to it being leaked on ozbargain

          I think it is rubbish to talk about 'leaking' information that is sent in an open email, hardly a private or secure form of communication. A bit like putting open flyers in people's letter boxes with their names on them, other people are going to see that.

        • easternculture on 13/06/2014 - 23:22

          so basically you are saying that it is ok to potentially abuse a company because they are being generous and giving you a free voucher to spend.

          Yes it is nice to get a freebie every now and then. Some companies can afford to honor deals i.e. we just saw julius marlow honor the $10 FREE thongs, and JB Hifi honor the $29 sony portable chargers. Other companies not much so, as we all know that the retail industry in Australia is not at its best and something like this can have financial implications on the company itself especially if its already struggling and many jobs can be cut/lost on the short/long term.

          So Kudos to TheHome.com.au if they honor the deal. And if they dont, well we've been in that situation before around here @ ozbargain.

      You sign up with The Home to use the voucher. I have 1 Pinchme account and received the email this morning. Not sure if it is still working :(

      • easternculture on 13/06/2014 - 19:28

        voucher apparently has been made invalid. When you proceed to payment, says "We're sorry, but the Promo Code you have entered appears to be incorrect"

  • Mikaela on 13/06/2014 - 19:44

    I didn't end up getting anything (because I didn't get the code) which is all good. I guess people will have to wait and see as to whether or not they cancel the orders

  • Joyoz on 13/06/2014 - 22:12

    The link to http://thehome.com.au/luigi-bormioli has been taken off the front page as well as all items are marked sold out in that category.

  • King Tightarse on 13/06/2014 - 23:37

    Didnt order but will watch this thread with interest for the ending.

  • parcus on 14/06/2014 - 00:49

        We're sorry, but the Promo Code you have entered appears to be incorrect. Would you please check the Promo Code again and try again ensuring that you copy it exactly? If you still experience any issues, please don't hesitate to contact our Support Team at [email protected].

    • Sweet3st on 14/06/2014 - 09:49

      So it wasn't a targeted campaign, they're just trying to enrol new customers to the site, and they have been successful!

  • SmiTTy on 14/06/2014 - 10:32

    If thats the case they should honour the deals :S

      purchased something just now? or yesterday?

  • Catfaise on 14/06/2014 - 10:53

    They've put it to a minimum spend of 50 dollars before code can work. It's still valid.

  • Sweet3st on 14/06/2014 - 11:00

    They put out a generic voucher to the Pinchme 'free sample' database while they have products of that value or less with free shipping on the site. What did they expect?

    • easternculture on 14/06/2014 - 11:54
      -1

      Probably they didn't expect it to go viral. They probably got a couple of months worth of clicks in less than 24hrs

      • donga100 on 14/06/2014 - 14:29

        Not sure I agree. They got 3.5k clicks from OzBargain but PINCHme have 111k facebook likes and presumably many more on their email database.

          That is clicks via main link . The ones via the referral are not counted

  • snvl on 14/06/2014 - 17:41

    Even if they don't honor it, OP will have all the credit from referrals. I don't see how they are going to reverse that

  • anonymoususer on 14/06/2014 - 19:47

    OP - just curious how much did you end up earning here? :)

  • Sweet3st on 15/06/2014 - 10:48

    I don't know why you think they'd let me keep referral credits for cancelled sales? I don't think there's any way that will happen. Fingers crossed they honour everyone's deals. I'm not complaining about the credits! But I received far fewer referrals than votes, so I'd say it's less than you might think :) I'm more chuffed to have a top deal on OzB, my first time, and to get lots of people here a nice bargain. I know what it's like to have to be careful with money, so it's nice to have the odd treat!

    • donga100 on 15/06/2014 - 11:39

      I think they may have a maximum amount able to be earned from referrals. I actually tried to use your link but apparently I already had an account despite not recalling ever hearing about this site before.

      How about we just wait. It's been two business days since it happened, and there has been no word of canceled orders.

      • anonymoususer on 18/06/2014 - 09:42

        Looking at purchase details :

        Sale Ends : 20/06/14

        Your order will be automatically sent to your address, no further action will be required. Your order will be delivered to you in approximately 2-3 weeks from the end of the sale.

        So lets wait :)

    The Inside Out magazine subscription 12 issues for $40 (after voucher) and free shipping is a good deal if you're into interior design.

      I got the credit too. For anyone else who got it you can still order some items for free using your credit although the glassware no longer has free shipping. I got this stationary set.

    Dear customer,

    Thank you so much for shopping with The Home!

    As you might have noticed when you checked out your items from the Luigi Bormioli Glassware sale, our shipping fee advertised wasn't added to your order. This was due to a technical error that we since fixed.

    We have now fully refunded you for your purchase (as store credit or to your credit card/Paypal, depending on what method of payment you used to pay), and we have extended your credit to last until until July 31. The sale is still on, so you can go ahead and make the same purchase if you would like to - we also have some other great sales on for you to peruse!

    Please accept our sincere apologies for this technical mishap. Happy shopping!

    Kind regards
    The Home Customer Support

  • ProggerPete on 20/06/2014 - 19:00

    Got a $13 credit and I expect most others will get something similar. They'll need to be careful not to offer free shipping on cheap items for a year or so. =)

    • donga100 on 20/06/2014 - 19:47

      You can use the credit towards shipping so it's still possible to get some free items. I got this stationary set for example.

  • ozy on 21/06/2014 - 07:38

    Emailed them to as why it hadn't been delivered and only now just getting a cancelation email due to a BS technical glitch…
    The response:

    We run flash sales in order to achieve great pricing by placing one large group order, but this does mean orders take about two weeks to arrive as they are not ordered until the sale ends. The trade off for extreme discounts I’m afraid!

    Best wishes,

    The trade off for extreme discounts I’m afraid!

    =is that you get nothing….

  • gustino on 21/06/2014 - 13:21

    Same here! Cancelled! Not happy! >_<

    I reckon they failed to list/charge the shipping fee on checkout is their problem, and they have to pay the price for the mistake. We're only consumers! If they did all that to get more leads & advertising, it would be misleading, isn't it?

    Can we take this to fair trading?

    • bargainofoz on 21/06/2014 - 13:53

      No, what you ordered was only an invitation to treat. There's no binding contract.

  • [Deactivated] on 23/06/2014 - 16:01

    Order cancelled.

    "As you might have noticed when you checked out your items from the Luigi Bormioli Glassware sale, our shipping fee advertised wasn't added to your order. This was due to a technical error that we since fixed."

    Got my extra credit card payment refunded. I assume the pinchme discount is there in credit. Not sure I want to reward their mistake.

      • altomic on 08/07/2014 - 15:31

        Stolzle

        • Sweet3st on 08/07/2014 - 15:38

          I can't remember there being any shipping info advertised on the Stolzle sale at the time, so maybe they are honouring these. I didn't buy Bormioli but perhaps if shipping was advertised but not applied, they cancelled these ones?
