OK - we've had the too good to be true website offering cheap Oakleys

Can anyone suggest a reputable company that sells Oakleys in the UK for 'good' prices?

 

youd be lucky to get any discount anywhere, unless you have somesort of 10% loyalty card.

Shops arent allowed to sell them at discount, and they never get stuck with old models because oakley take them off their hands and swap em for new ones, hence now sales etc...

but someone maybe able to correct me

 

have used and would recommend this site. They don't list Oakleys but email your requirements to them.

http://www.bargainsunspecs.com/

 

hmm... shame they don't list Oakleys. There must be a reason as they seem to have just about every other make.

Perhaps it's the 'no discount' rule?

 

of course, there's always this place

I got Oakleys from bargainsunspecs, no problems, the glasses came in a good oakley box, with the bag with the label, the serial number stamped on them.

They were a very good price too.

Still could be a very good copy I guess...

 

Only way I know to get em cheaper is a) buy them in the US or b) get some store discount from a family member etc (like my bro who works in a surf shop and gets 20% off).

 

uncle buck,

you said "shame they don't list Oakleys"

did you read my reply? It said email them for requirements not listed on their website. I got Oakleys from them, saved loads of UK street.

er.. they do list them?!?! here

 

That link goes to a generic frontpage with no mention of oakleys???

 

It mentions Oakley in the title of the window.

They do stress if what you want is not listed, mail them.

They DO sell Oakleys, I mailed them and got prices back from them within a couple of hours.
Order them and they turned up very quickly. Good company.
Mail them!

 

I'll give 'em a try.... thanks guys...

 

Hi,

Not sure what model you are after but I bought a pair of X-Metal XX off the guys below and they did me a deal on a free X-metal Vault case which would normally cost £40.

Give 'em a call and see what they can do.

Buying them in the US is not actually any cheaper, I looked at buying my Juliet X-Metal/Ruby's in the US, and they were c.$420, which at the time worked out to be £287, which was £15 more than in the UK! In the end i actually got them for 30% off at the shop i worked in (heh heh heh), but the cheapest place i've seen is in the Dty free in the airports. Manchester airport has a really good selection.

 

bikescene - closed on Wednesdays

In this day and age How do they expect to do any business?

 

It's 'cause they are all out cycling!

 

Beefola - Ive been to the US (florida) 3 times in the last 4 years and bought a pair on 2 occassions along with both of my brothers. I can assure you they were cheaper than the UK.

For example my last pair were C wires in aluminium silver colour with blue tint lenses - on my credit card bill (so exactly what I paid) they cost me £134 with a small ballistic case. Here in the UK Ive seen them for £159-£179 with no case so thats still a saving of around £30 without event taking the case into consideration.

Obviously the exchange rate plays a part in how much you save but they are still cheaper.

Simon.

 

Just ordered a nice pair of Scars in butterscotch with gold iridium lenses

Cheapest price I could find. Just hope the summer lasts until they arrive

Will be taking them on my Oz trip for sure

p.s. I tried mailing barginspecs but they failed to reply

doh! - Barginspecs finally came back and they were 15 quid cheaper! (though I would have had to wait for them to be ordered) [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Too late now though! Oh well...

 

Scars - new model oakley?

 

Yes, they're v cool

 

LOL - See we weren't lying

 

under the distance selling act you could return the ones you have ordered and then order from bargainsunspecs

these look a cool sunglass!

 

I suppose I could but it seems a lot of hassle for 15 quid. It's done now

I think they're pretty darn cool - a bit OTT for some circumctances but hey, I've more sensible Oakley's too

 

P1Fanatic - i was in Florida also when i saw the ones mentioned. I was talking about X-Metals, which i can assure you were priced as stated. Indeed there were a few C-Wires and Jackets that were cheaper, but i went just after Sep 11th, and the exchange rate was bobbins.
