Apply the code and receive 25% discount on sale items.
Some are even cheaper than the previous deal.
Doh! $14.75 $4.75 cheaper (Edit: Just noticed that the price was increased by $10 from $49 to $59)
Buy again and return the first pair, or call customer service for a refund of the difference? #1stWorldProblems
I'm getting $4.11 back from cash rewards, so it almost evens out :-)
I bought one of the $49 shoes the other day.
Actually you can get rewards with this purchase too, so it doesn't even out. It'll still be over $4 cheaper.
Obviously. But since I'm not going to return my order & start again, I'm happy I've got a pair of shoes for $45.
Not everyone will have been set up to get the CB either.
Can I call customer service for a refund of the difference knowing that my size is now sold out?
I don't think you've got any leverage with that position. But you can always try and see what they say.
Instead of asking this question you could have picked up a phone?
Same on Clarks website. But they increased prices - old sale price is suddenly more expensive sale price! BAD FORM.
I bought this for $49 http://www.hushpuppies.com.au/sale/belfast-oxford-1.html#941…
and now it $59 !! Yes the code will get make it 44.25..
Thanks gonna get the same ones. $44.25. Don't forget to try use cashrewards for extra 8.4% cashback
$4.75 cheaper !!! Did anyone successfully get a refund of the difference from customer service?
bought 3 pairs
:(
now it's 4.75 cheaper x2 and one is 4.20 cheaper…….
It's wrong what they are doing, they have increased the prices and stuck 25% off.
For example this was $59 yesterday and today it's $79, not that there is a significant increase in price but the dodgy practice.

I thought I noticed this too, glad someone else can confirm it. They're doing a Kogan. Dodgy practices, another company for my will-not-buy-from blacklist.
Not exactly. It's not like they inflated the actual RRP which would distort the amount of claimed savings in relation. They just offered very similar deals to the previous sale - with some legitimately great prices - in a different way. It's a grey area but I believe the buyer is capable of looking at the RRP and looking at the current sale price and deciding if it's a good deal or not.
I disagree. They advertised it being an ADDITIONAL 25% off sale items. The sale items are still there, but what they didn't tell you is that they changed the sale item prices. That's deception in my book. I'm going to arrange return of mine tomorrow… and I haven't even got them yet!
The $49 pricing was clearly advertised for 24hours only. So the 25% off cannot come off that price but the sale price before that.
@Gav, nowhere do they say that it's an additional 25% off the prices they offered in any previous sale. The last 24 hour sale has ended and has no relation to this sale.
It clearly states it's an additional 25% off these sale items at these sale prices. There is no link whatsoever claimed with any previous sale or previous prices, aside from the RRP which is stated.
As I said before, if they claimed that you were saving x amount off the RRP and they bumped up the RRP, that's deceptive. But they are saying that you are saving 25% off the current sale prices. They are free to set sale prices wherever they like for the current sale - it's their choice. They are not free to lie about the RRP.
Bought a $49 shoe 2 days ago and today it is $4.75 cheaper, not happy with that. :(
Ditto - my ozbargain sphincter is all puckered up.
Just in time, my work shoes started falling apart last week :)
At my first job, I wore my shoes out so much that a large part of the sole came off in the office kitchen. People found it and were wondering wtf it was.
They raised all the prices from the last sale, not a deal.
not all……. maybe 99%
Yes because the last sale was a one off "24 hours" sale. If the price doesn't go back up to normal sale prices, then the "24 hours" will make no sense.
Crap deal. Shoes I wanted were$49 the other day. Now they're $69 less 25%. Rip off
All the negging people need to realise the last sale ended - you missed out end of story.
Prices change all the time. You buy when you think it's great value & be happy with it.
Just like eBay, 15% one week, 20% the next - sh it happens.
It's already been explained if you look up in the comments, the previous sale was only 24 hours.
Some people are just petty and clearly cannot understand that it's EOFY and some stores will have a multitude of sales and Hush Puppies are having a few different sales.
I'm a bit put out that Hush Puppies haven't had the Loyal on special for ages but I won't neg them over that as they can offer whatever discounts they want and when they want contrary to what people think on here.
Can you find it cheaper somewhere else or do you have a problem with the product? If not then don't neg. This is a new promotion, some shoes are cheaper and some are not.
IMO it's a valid neg as the voting guidelines state "major issues with retailer" being a valid reason. I would say a retailer having a "sale" on shoes that are actually the same price as what they were yesterday without a sale because they mark up all the prices before the sale started, is a major issue and something that should be shamed.
Ok so what are your major issues with this retailer?
I made it crystal clear, read again.
I think you need to look up the OZbargain definition of Major Issues with retailer, you've got it wrong.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines
And, you've also got your facts wrong, the only reason you keep going is because you're getting egged on by a couple of + next to your comments.
They are not the same price as yesterday. There was a different sale on yesterday, how ignorant are people on OZbargain?
It's been pointed out many time but you and yr handful of supporters still don't get it!
Hilarious!
"I think you need to look up the OZbargain definition of Major Issues with retailer, you've got it wrong."
No, you are wrong. It is a major issue with a retailer. It is subjective, but it's what I consider to be a major issue. I know that if I had a shop and did this, that if I got a few emails saying you're full of it, that would be expected. It's a bad business practice.
"the only reason you keep going is because you're getting egged on by a couple of + next to your comments."
At the time of posting the 'crystal clear' comment, there was only a single vote on my previous comment, you can look at the time the votes occurred to validate that. I would be calling a spade a spade despite the number of votes.
"They are not the same price as yesterday. There was a different sale on yesterday, how ignorant are people on OZbargain?"
So they are all liars then, all of them. Not just one or two, but all the people claiming it.
"It's been pointed out many time but you and yr handful of supporters still don't get it!"
No it hasn't. They aren't my supporters anyway, I am supporting them. as shown by my neg being the last for the deal.
"Hilarious!"
You have a weird definition of humor my friend. Go watch some Big Bang theory and get rock your socks off.
All this I am getting from people's comments above. If they are all wrong then I would be glad to eat my words and remove the neg.
So they had a sale yesterday and they have a better one today, absolutely nothing wrong with that. Lots of stores do that, take oxford for example, they do 20, 25, 50, 60 and then finally about 75% off.
Early buyers get first pick and most choices. If you wait till they're 75% off there's no guarantee you'll get things in your size and that's the trade-off.
@alittlelewd, please show some proof that they marked up the prices. You can see from Google cache that the shoes that are on "sale" for $99 now were on "sale" for $99 before the 24 hour sale. They are listed at their regular "sale" price. But the code makes them $74, which is substantially cheaper than they normally are (aside from yesterday).
They definitely DID do this on Clarks, and it's the same parent company. No "24 hour sale" to consider.
That's not really related to how good this deal is and if people wanted to prove their point, they could link to a Google cache page with the lower price. For example, this is from 6th June demonstrating that this is the normal sale price:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:01GNhhk…
Paid full price a year ago, now got it for $75! Similar pair of boots, but oh so comfy…
Is it only me that want them to preview their shoes at 45 degree angle? I can't really visualise how they would look on me without an isometric view.
45 degrees would be a planometric view, unless it apply s differently…. But yeah I agree, would love a 45* view.
Not sure how you people buy shoes online based on style alone…
I went to the store and tried at least 10+ pairs before I found one which was just right.
Sure I paid a bit extra but at least I know it's perfect for my feet :D
It's not that difficult, you either own the shoes already and know their sizing or you take the chance and use their free returns. I've purchased heaps of shoes from Amazon and other US sites and everyone has fitted me apart from one pair of Vibrams that wouldn't fit me so I sold them on ebay and got my money back in full.
price inflated to bait customers.
How are they inflated when most of the year they have their regular price listed and this is the price in all the shops that sell them. Provide some evidence of your claim but I doubt you can.
Some people haven't understood the point and it has nothing to do with their previous sale of 24 hours, it's their regular sale price which runs for months if not the whole year. Some of the shoes that used to be on sale for $59 is now $79 and the ones that were for $79 are now $99. And they have been at those price for months.
You can easily check with Google cache that most of these are currently listed at their "regular" sale price. For example, the Accel Oxford was on "sale" for $99 on 6th June and it's on sale for $99. Same with the Annual, same with the Answer, etc.
BUT this deal gives you a further 25% of the regular sale price when you enter the code. So they are now $74. This is much cheaper than they've been for months (aside from yesterday). It's a good deal.
Utter bollocks, they don't run sales all year round like you claim and their shoes are often at their full RRP price which is also the price they generally sell for in the stores.
The reason they don't discount all year round like you claim is because they sell the shoes to retailers who are not going to stock their product if Hush Puppie undercut them all the time.
Your claim is based on assumptions and you have no clue what happens on their site. Yes, they run sales all year round, you haven't been checking their site regularly. Pay them a visit regularly and tell me when they don't have sales going on.
I check their site regularly and bought a few pairs over the last year.
People don't like it move on, complaining will result in nothing. From all the above posts, that was a an initial past sale that ended and they have the right to do whatever, since its a new sale.
they did not false dvertise or do anything dodgy.
Thanks OP. Slightly better deal. I ordered one last time and being idiotic, forgot to claim cash rewards. Anyway I will refund that one. Will wait for next sale. Might get even better prices considering how this company operate lol
OH NO! The shoes that I ordered are now $4.75 cheaper! :(
