Discount codes can't be used here in UK. They know we are willing to be ripped off.

The UK folk who purchased from BrainDead were ripped of - £30 more than at Oakley plus over £90 added in taxes and shipping.

Didn’t Oakley say 10am PST release? Just curious if their marketing department that said these NJS were xSilver also screwed up the time…

Nah it was about £130 extra on top of the Brain Dead US retail price. But again comes back to my point that it isn't just a UK problem, businesses charge more in this whole region (EU) because they know people here are willing to pay more. Sony said it openly years ago when asked about their Playstation prices.

It was 10am PST but i've just ordered from Oakley UK.

That Plantaris has so much potential, but for some reason they are only released in these neutral / earthy tones. This one immediately reminded me of accidentally dropping it into the sewer and then when you fished it out, it became this colour.

Oakley UK price is £230 all in - US is $289 plus local sales taxes, so not much difference. (obvioulsy depending on state sales tax).

Doh!

Edit: Success! $60.03 refund started via PayPal before they even replied to the email. Glad that was easy.

Sent an extremely polite email to their customer service in which I described myself as a "new but serious Oakley collector who will certainly make many similar purchases of Oakley collabs in the future." Also said that I would repeat the purchase with the code and return the duplicates if they can't apply the discount to the original order. Not sure what their return policy is though because the URL where it's supposed to be currently points to a form for submitting photos of well-used Brain Dead Type 00 denim...but no policy info. This form is actually on ALL of the 4 "policy" pages on their website in lieu of the respective policies:

Fingers crossed that they will just be nice about it and give me the $60 back without a huge hassle.
