50% off Mens Clothing @ Jacamo.ie

MagicMarker

Jacamo is marketed towards the Big & Tall, however they appear to have normal sizes too, with jeans starting at a 32'' waist and tops starting at a 38'' chest size.

They are a subsidiary of Oxendales so when you initially sign up it takes about 24 hours for your account to be approved as they'll provide a credit account with a limit of around 100-200 euro, but naturally you don't have to use any credit, you can just use a credit card as normal.

I've personally ordered approx €400 worth of clothes off these guys in the last few weeks but only paid half of that because of this offer, the quality of the goods have so far been better than any other online retailer that I've tried, I've also returned a couple of items without a problem.

Offer ends 5th Jan 2012, happy days!

You have to answer those kind of questions any time you're applying for credit, the answer to those questions will probably influence how much credit they give. I don't really see the problem with it myself.

but he doesn't want any credit so shouldn't need to tell them his business.

No, once the account is approved you can just use a credit/laser card as normal.

Now i'm not gonna buy anything from these guys, but if i was, why couldn't i just phone 'em up, tell them i want Shirt 'X' and Pants 'Y' at a cost of 50Euro, pay with my laser or CC and not have any more dealings with them.

Seems like this is just a way to get you to have an account

I dunno, you can try it, maybe you can order by phone for all I know.

There's no big conspiracy here, no one is forcing anyone to use a credit account.

So I made a basket - it says you can only apply the coupon when you go to checkout. To checkout you MUST apply for an account - then when you apply for an account it does not take you to the checkout - it says you must wait for account approval.

THEN, when you do get account approval - they automatically place whatever you had in your basket as an order WITHOUT applying the 50% discount code?

I would assume this is not an intential ripoff - but what a ridiculous way to do business.

My emails cancelling the order have gone unanswered in 24 hours, and my phone call to them resulted in being told that they cannot cancel the order but that they can accept returns and they are forwarding me a freepost sticker.

I'm now a bit nervous that my whole engagment with them is going to cost me money without getting any products - or potentially having my credit rating affected if I have a dispute with them.

Quite possibly the most ridiculous online purchasing experience I have ever had.

Just ring them. You don't need an account. They are very sales focused. They are the same company as Oxendales though and Oxendales have a better range.

bottom line is that they don't appear to be great value to begin with


Caterpillar jeans for €85??? Since when did Caterpillar become the new Diesel?

Pair of Gola Runners for €83.99 - http://www.jacamo.ie/shop/product/details/show.action?pdLpUid=AS763&pdBoUid=4656&lpgUid=#colour:,size:

I bought these EXACT same runners in Guineys 2 weeks ago for €27.99...

Scanning lots of other products, seems to be stuff you'd get on mandmdirect for half the price anyway

gavney1

I've just confirmed that this whole thing is a complete and utter load of BALLS

Check out each item on Jacamo.co.uk, and compare with Jacamo.ie

They don't have the 50% offer on jacamo.co.uk - and guess what? The products are LESS than half the price of the Irish site

E.g. compare the two identical products below

http://www.jacamo.ie/shop/search/window/show.action?searchString=Jacamo+Button+Y-Neck+T-Shirt&categoryLpgUid=47005&Search=Search

VS

http://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/search/window/show.action?searchString=Jacamo+Button+Y-Neck+T-Shirt&categoryLpgUid=40005&Search=Search

As you can see, same item is costing £6 on the UK site, is costing €19.99 on the Irish site....

Clearly they think they can get away with doubling the price and then knocking 50% off.

I will never ever ever consider buying off them at any stage

An even crazier example

£13.75 is a rip-off anyway for 2 pairs of boxers!

Another "Paddy tax". I'm sure they'll blame the exchange rate, but what exhange rate are they using?

The really annoying thing is that there's probably a few customers who've been duped into buying off them with this "deal"

I don't believe it. They've already changed the prices on their jacamo.co.uk site for the products of mentioned

They've just increased the price of the boxers from £13.75 to £25 on the UK site

And that t-shirt has been increased from £6 to £12.

Either they've seen this thread or other threads OR they were planning on doing the 50% off scam on the UK site all along also

Ian Whelan

Advertising Standards Authority complaint maybe?

Dr Bolouswki

Further to my initial post - the order that I "placed" (i didn't place any order - I applied for an "account" with them) which I tried to cancel within 24 hours once I realised what they were up to, to be told "it is already processed it can't be cancelled" has only just shipped today. So, 7 days of processing cannot be interrupted?

Biggest bunch of scam artists I ever came across.

Looking for a jacket for one of my sons so had a look here and I'd have to say think the prices are pretty steep!! Or maybe I'm just tight!! :rolleyes:

Laughable website. Anyone that buys from them is an idiot.
