Roger David sales 40%-50% off every two weeks... A sign of imminent collapse?

Ok, so I'm sure everyone knows how last year Dick Smith had spam emails multiple times a week for a different sale, and we all know what happened with them.

I seem to be getting Roger David emails at least once every two weeks offering 40% off or more storewide. Could they be in for an uncertain future?

    They've been doing it for years. It's just their standard practice of getting more people in the door.

    • Yes, but the sales used to be max of 40% off once a quarter, increasing it so that it's the norm doesn't help profit margins.

      • I used to shop there for semi-formal clothing, but no longer do.

        The quality seems to have gone downhill over the years. It could just be that my tastes have changed.

        • Definitely has. Their sizing has become consistent and their chinos have been changed to crappy skinny leg.

          @Diji1: I derped. Inconsistent.

        • @Clear: I think it's due to using different manufacturers in China/Bangladesh/Vietnam etc who have many customers whose idea of S,M,L, XL varies.

          Some better websites say the size e.g XL is chest=…cm, sleeve=…cm, neck to waist = …cm for individual shirts or jackets but I guess this is a bit too much to ask of lesser retailers' webmasters to provide?

        • @scottishdave: They provide the information on their website. Purely different manufacturers according to their own staff.
