Hey buds, this will be a pretty long, but useful post for you.
we received lately lot of questions why bitcoin discount is not applied, also I see there is no understanding how our site works in terms of discounts . Here is some basic info how you can optimize your expenses.
We have currently following discounts in our store:
1. Life-time discounts from 5 to 15% - we provide them for competing athletes, militaries, also sometimes in different contests. In this month, by the way, we will provide 3 x even 20% discounts for 3 persons who place biggest orders within the promo currently running.
2. Loyalty discounts from 5% to 15%. You get them automatically:
5% after 3 orders placed
10% after 6 orders placed
15% after 10 orders placed.
This is valid for now, but soon, in autumn we are going to raise the limits:
5% after 5 orders placed
10% after 10 orders
15% after 15 orders
New limits will touch only new customers. If you already have this type of the discount, say 5% at least, it will not touch you. And you still will be able to get the 15% discount after 10 orders placed even if you do this after new limits come into force. So guys, you still have time for a "short way" to maximum lifetime discounts.
Important: 3 sections of our site - US, Int and EU are in fact 3 different sites with different databases independent on each other. Thus, these discounts are calculated if you reach the given limits within one definite section: say you have 6 orders in our international section - you get 10% off. If you have 4 orders in the international section and 2 in the US domestic, you get only 5% in international section. After the third order in US domestic you get 5% off there and after the 6th order in the international section you get 10% off there.
3. 10% off for bitcoin payments in our international section and 5% for our european section. no discount for US domestic, sorry.
4. Big order discounts - 5% for orders over 500$ (before shipping) and 10% for orders over 1000$. For international section also free shipping included for orders over 1000$.
5. You can use your personal link from the the Referrals section in your personal account to invite your friends or just new customers. You automatically get a reward to your balance - 5% from the total value of all of the orders ever placed by your referrals. No limits here. We have customers who gt big orders monthly and does not pay for it at all.
And now the most interesting thing: all these discounts may be summarized with the following total limits:
max 40% for our international warehouse
max 15% for our US domestic warehouse
max 15% for our EU domestic warehouse.
Now, how to get the biggest discount? If you have 10 orders you get 15% off + if you pay with bitcoins you get 10% or 5% depending on the warehouse + if your order is over 1000$ or EUR you get also 10% = 35% off for int section or 30% off for EU section. But: for EU section this discount will be cut down to 15% max limit. For int section it stays at 35%. If you have say extra 15% as a competing athlete it would be already 50% off, but it will be cut down to 40% off.
Currently it does not work like this yet but our team is working on it.
About promo orders. Any discounts are not compatible with orders placed within our promo offers. You don`t get say 10% bitcoin discount + free bonus items. It is too much. Currently you can choose only bonus items. We are going to fix this as well, you will have the choice. Someone will prefer to get say free gear worth 200$ within our promo. However, for someone it would be more profitable to get the discount only if he/she has accumulated say 40% off. In this case, if you need a discount, you just don`t choose free bonus items from the drop-down list during the ordering process. You need to skip it, click on NEXT, fill the info. Our site will calculate all discounts conferred on you AFTER you checkout and get your order umber. Once again, it is not implemented yet, but we are going to organize it in this way.
What else... yes, 2 more things.
1. We are going to add new price limits for mini-bulk orders. Customers who buy for 2000$ and 5000$ will get sweet bulk prices. I am not sure yet how discounts will be applied here, probably not.
2. Soon we will organize often different small promos for definite products like - product of the day, but 5 vials of Mix M at 40% off only today, etc.
About our clothes, i get also many questions. We depend here on the third side, clothes are not ready yet. I will for sure update you about any news.
