Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Many thanks for posting that, I just ordered two pair of Ft Lewis, that should carry me for the remaining 20 years of my career.

I owe you a beer.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

No sarcasm meant... Thanks very much for the link.

After much research I decided against Danner because all four selections I chose were reviewed on other sites as "Made In China", and I woulda never thought that about Danner.

But the link did prompt me to 'get on the job' and Google differently--"Made in USA boots".

Some of the Danner's are still made in USA. Click on the features tap on their web page.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Didn't mean to set the impression that all Danner boots are made in China... I was only interested in 4 selections, and my four were all MIC.

I know that some of the Danners are still made in USA. The chink stuff is 'clearly' labeled in the descriptions--as "imported".
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Wish this was a couple weeks ago. Just bought a new set of Redwings, but would have prefered the Danners. Oh well next time.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Wow, I just spent 2 hours and 29 minutes trying to get on the web site, getting dropped, back on, then fighting my way through the jammed up checkout but saved $115 on a pair of hiking boots!

Thanks <span style="font-weight: bold">WhoMe?</span> for the heads up. Great deal. BAT_Boy
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Did you get a definite order confirmation?
I get to the payment part, but then it kicks me back to the beginning of the order.
I don't get to the "review order" part.

Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

I called my order in. Tried 20 times before I could get put on hold then waited 20 mins. When I got someone on the phone
I let her take my order, both of my brothers, and one of my
friends. We ordered 7 pair. Even got my wife a new pair of Sierras.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Yes, I got an order confirmation number. Did not, however, receive an email confirmation. I will follow up with phone call next week if need be. Keep trying. It took me several attempts and the browser would time out. Good luck.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Keep trying by phone. I finally got through to a human and placed my order about 10 minutes ago.

whoMe, thanks for the heads up on the sale!!
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

They had a bunch of stuff before the site went down, I bet they took it down on purpose not because of "overload" but because the "friends and family" code got broadcast on the internet and they weren't expecting evryone of us to be ordering boots tonight.
I wonder if 50% off is their cost.

Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

This was going to be the "I don't need them but it's too good to pass up" purchase so for me I am just a little bit glad it's down. Of course I am not glad for the rest of you. You know what I mean.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

if it doesnt make it back online give them a call tomorrow

check out their recording 503 262 0110
it says to call back tomorrow between 10-4pm you folks might still have a shot.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Tried calling both 503 numbers provided here and on the thread in the Bear Pit, also tried calling their 800 number multiple times, I got busy signal on the 800 and "not a valid extension" on the two 503 numbers. I wrote them an email explaining my issues with not being able to order yesterday or today, hopefully they write me back tomorrow and help me out.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

I also tried numerous calling today , getting the busy signal . Yesterday I sent an email , stating that I had try to order 2 pair of boots but due to their site crashing I was unable .
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

The question is, if they don't help you out, are you going to hate them and never buy from them again and tell everyone they shouldn't buy from them either? Hope not.

Yes, it is time to switch to Matterhorn <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Socalsheepdog</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The question is, if they don't help you out, are you going to hate them and never buy from them again and tell everyone they shouldn't buy from them either?

Was it a website crash or did they just shut it down till midnight? I tried all last night and could not get to the checkout window. Then crash. Tried calling all day today and no answer. My guess is this got way beyond what they wanted and they shut it down, just my thoughts no proof.

No. I am issued danners, I like danners, and wanted to try some lacrosse's for off duty chores and get my boy a pair of hunting boots and thought this would be a great opportunity. I do think it would be nice if they could have had the ability to fulfill the orders that would have been placed had their servers not crashed or whatever. So obviously we would all appreciate it and I think, to some degree, they are obligated to honor it to those people who tried, but how do they verify if someone tried or not? I guess I will wait and find out. I am not whining, just posted up that I tried to place an order in several different ways and was unsuccessful, so I wrote them an email to see if they would honor it. Figured I would let other hiders know since a few were going to try calling today as well.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Here's the skinny guys, they(Danner) did a "Friends and Family" promotion for the employees of Lacrosse and it went viral across the internet. This is a line from an email reply I got from Danner.

<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">"This sale was intended for Friends and Family of LaCrosse Footwear employees and was unexpectedly spread throughout the internet. I apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. We will be modifying our Friends and Family Sale in the future to reflect the original spirit of the sale."</span></span>


So, it's pretty hard to get riled up about a discount that was not meant for us.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

My guess is that they pulled the server instead of living up to the offer. I tried for two hours and it crashed or was pulled as I was checking out. Fine, I have two sets of Danner boots, that will probably be my last after that episode. There are WAY too many well made boots out there that are less expensive.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

I for one am not getting riled up, just attempting to get in on the good deal and seeing if they will honor the attempt to do so. I figured that was probably what happened, i.e. it was intended for a few people and it was spread like wildfire across the internet. I guess I will see what happens tomorrow if I get an email response.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Recieved the generic email from Danner , the same one you probaly recieved , tried phoning them today . Not much luck there , the response was the same "sale was Saturday only we can not honor the sale price" They did not like when I accused them of shutting the website down . <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: spswatip</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I for one am not getting riled up, just attempting to get in on the good deal and seeing if they will honor the attempt to do so.

Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Yea, this is what I got.

<span style="font-style: italic">"Thank you for your email. We understand and are aware that our website was having complications while trying to keep up with the unpredictably high volume of traffic on Saturday during the Friends and Family sale. We apologize that you were unable to complete your order. Unfortunately the sale was for Saturday only and we will be unable to honor any pricing. This sale was intended for Friends and Family of LaCrosse Footwear employees and was unexpectedly spread throughout the internet. I apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. We will be modifying our Friends and Family Sale in the future to reflect the original spirit of the sale.
If you received the email offer directly from a friend or family member at LaCrosse, please contact them directly, by end of day Monday, to place your order."</span>

It is kind of funny, since she said the sale was saturday only and they will be unable to honor any pricing. Then at the end she says if you contact your friend or family at LaCrosse before end of day on Monday and they will place the order w/ the discount. Oh well, I just wasn't quick enough on Saturday morning.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

This sale was intended for Friends and Family of LaCrosse Footwear employees and was <span style="color: #FF0000">unexpectedly spread throughout the internet</span>.

TOTAL FAIL. Who would have thought that a coupon code at checkout for %50 off would go viral. Idiots.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

Why is this thread still alive?
If you got a good deal, then great for you.
If you didn't, then the loss is nothing.

Yeah, they could have handled it better.
Shit happens.
 
Re: Danner Boots 50% 1day SALE

The shit on this board just keeps getting crazier.....in one thread we are bombarded with the code of the tactical seamstresses and are warned of the burning hell awaiting anyone who dare dishonor themselves by having gear made other than from the virgin tibetan monk with the original bone needle, to guys pissed off because that are not given a freebie that was never intended for their use in the first place
