EB052411A

Sierra Trading Post sells clothes like the stuff at Kathmandu, Snowgum, etc. Sierra Trading Post though, is where the excess stock, closeouts etc get sent. This can lead to some nice specials if you happen to find something you really like in the right size and colour.

For those new to them, be warned, their shipping adds quite a bit, for anything under $300. I looked at a $100 jacket and they were going to add $50 in shipping. (The jacket is still around $250-$300 over here)

Warning: Without the discount codes, some of the items might be found cheaper elsewhere, if you can find the right size, colour and a seller you are prepared to trust

  1. 30% off using the code EB052411A

    • Expires: probably 4pm, 27 May 2011 in Victoria (based on US 26 May 2011 expiry)
    • kudos to [kikikeiko on retailmenot.com](http://www.retailmenot.com/view/sierratradingpost.com
    • I successfully used this code last night
    • the code seems to come from their newsletter; I was called a DealFlyer (ie their newsletter)

  2. If you use a ground shipper or other, there are also codes for free shipping to various locations on that retailmenot.com site

This is more for people who've been watching items on Sierra Trading Post and are about ready to buy. (So the 30% off will make the deal nicer for them :) )

For new users, who want to try it, good luck:
- finding something you like in a colour and size that's right
- note you can look up a category of clothes as well as list by size which helps
- check that it really is cheaper here
- make sure you really do want/need it

Note: I'm not too familiar with buying clothes from overseas. I just did a comparison of Sierra to local suppliers, a few sites picked off Google that sold the same item and eBay.

    NVM >The question is whether Sierra will ship themselves directly to Australia, or whether you will need to have a USA Shipping agent/service?

    EDIT: Seems Australia is one of the countries they do Internationally ship to

      The Australian shipping took me by surprise. My order was just over $100. So $47 shipping :S

      All Other Supported Countries
      based on order total Rate
      $0.00 - $30.00 $27.00
      $30.01 - $60.00 $32.00
      $60.01 - $100.00 $37.00
      $100.01 - $200.00 $47.00
      $200.01 - $300.00 $57.00
      $300.01 and up $72.00

      The discount code brought the total down, so shipping was recalculated :)

    I have tried Sierra in the past, the day after my order was placed and paid for I received an email letting me know that additional shipping cost was required before the parcel would be sent, I had not read the fine print :) They send via UPS.

    • Wally on 27/05/2011 - 12:50

      Is that standard practice!? - why didn't the cart add the shipping cost prior to the order being finalised (as they appear to have staggered rates depending on cost of items)? - if standard practice - it would mean two International process fees for most peeps!

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 27/05/2011 - 13:50

      -> Tarhis

      Can I ask what did you order?

      Hmm I did find that line, just then, under the table for international shipping

      Large orders, heavy, and oversized items may require additional shipping charges.

      I'd hope they'd give a person the option of cancelling at that point, rather than just accepting extra charges :S

      My order hasn't been impacted, but it shouldn't, considering it's fairly light and packs quite small.

      • ash2000 on 27/05/2011 - 14:55

        I've ordered from these guys many times also…..Have had no issue, they ship really quickly.

        Ive order tents. back packs, heaps of trekking clothes, shoes…..etc….no problem.

        Coupon discounts are very common with Sierra, but 30% is certainly at the upper end of what they would ever offer.

    I've ordered from them heaps in the past, most recently 2 weeks ago, never had any issues.

    They'll quote for delivery to Aust at checkout. Usually about $40 (box with 2 helmets) which is pretty cheap.

    Some brands they don't ship to Aust though, eg. Asics which are ridiculously overpriced here.

    30% is a good deal!

  • Tickle on 27/05/2011 - 14:04

    foundit - I purchased 4 or 5 pairs of shoes on one occasion. They do let you know within 24 hours if you have to pay more shipping but I was not able to alter my order once it had reached that point.

    I still find the 30% off a good deal - just wanted to let fellow ozbargainers that extra shipping can be asked for :)

      Thanks for the warning :)

  • bg on 27/05/2011 - 14:21

    I also order from them frequently - especially when exchange rate good, plus 30% off. Never had a problem with postage cost being adjusted. Also very good at returns, with no time limit (so I usually wait until the other half is travelling that way to reduce postage costs).

  • SomeGuyOnOzB on 01/06/2011 - 11:13

    Note for my future reference. It's 11:10am 1 Jun 2011. I went to check the tracking on the package.

    Date Time Location Country Activity
    06/01/2011 4:54:00 PM MELBOURNE, AU IN TRANSIT TO
    06/01/2011 4:53:00 PM BOTANY, AU DEPARTURE SCAN
    06/01/2011 7:24:00 AM MELBOURNE, AU PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE

    The 4:54:00 PM entries leave me puzzled.

    I think this means the scanner used to scan my package is off, since that's over 5 hours away. If the issue was daylight savings, it should be less than 1 hour different (the package isn't here yet).

    If it was American time and date, the date should be a day behind.

    Oh well, looking forward to the jacket arriving today :)

  • SomeGuyOnOzB on 03/06/2011 - 10:41

    for my future refence:
    - it looks like the jacket went up to Sydney to get approval to be shipped to me puzzled shrug
    - the jacket arrived the day :)
