yes it's ironic, and given e-tailers usually make some money off postage it's even more puzzling, maybe they don't want people comparing prices online when using the card? hello? ever heard of a smartphone?
By forcing people to go to their one store in Sydney, and therefore making the gift card harder to use, I guess they're banking on a higher than usual percentage of people not redeeming it. (Some estimates say that 25-30% of all gift cards are never used as it is.)
Limit one per person.
I prefer Boguns of Sunnyvale
What about Ken's of Kensington?
Probably should mention postage in title too, which can't be avoided ($5 to Sydney, $5.50 to everywhere else).
Essentially a saving of $15 only.
Expire 18 months after purchase date
Even though you can only buy one per person, If a friend buys one for you then you could use it together right?
Oh wow. I worked there, and would not recommend shopping there. And definitely not eating there either. Be advised.
lol how come?
lol how come?
Why would you eat at PoK?
$5 postage for a gift card??? This is ridiculous. So essentially you are buying a $50 card not for $30 as advertised but for $35. Just because of this misleading marketing (or rip off postage) I will give it a neg.
They send the gift cards by registered post. Registered post is a $3.05 add-on to the standard postage price, so if they send it in a standard DL envelope the cost to them is $3.65 to Australia Post + envelope + processing. They're making a profit off the postage, but it's not a huge one.
Even at $35 for $50 its still a good deal for me, got a few weddings coming up and these guys have some good dining sets. Note worth comparing the price to Victoria's Basement to check which one is the cheapest!
Thanks for this deal. I just bought 3. Postage is $5 for all 3. Maybe it's just 1 coupon per transaction. So still great for gifts or if you visit POK often.
the irony ..
