I think Andrew's explanation answers why the code isn't mirrored between the UK and US site. From what he's saying, the two sites are operated like different entities with separate databases, pricing/inventory policies, etc. It sucks to miss out on a sale. But being upset the US site not honoring the code from the UK site, given what Andrew said, would be like getting upset with the Uniqlo in SoHo for not honoring a promotion that the Uniqlos in Japan were running.


True but the code was working for me up until last Monday. And perhaps even past that. I simply tried it last on Monday.

I'm to blame mostly here. I've said it from the start. I just think it would a be a good/cool move if they simply honored the discount once I took the time to call and be courteous to them. I certainly was not entitled to such treatment, but it's moves along those lines that I've experienced in the past with other situations which made me not only really admire a company but also lead me to become a repeat customer that tells his friends to look into a specific business. MR PORTER will do just fine without me, but they also lost out on a potentially big sale this one time.

To be honest, I think u just made a mistake confusing US and UK website. I think you applied the code on UK site and confuse yourself. Because the 2 codes are different, one is October20 and another is november20. They 2 websites look almost identical except ship to location.

I definitely did not do that. I applied 'November20' to the US site and it worked for me earlier this week.

It doesn't matter anyone. It's over. I'll purchase elsewhere unless by some miracle another similar code pops up sooner than later.

I wouldn't necessarily deem what I did as a mistake. But I do think that the customer service rep at MR PORTER could have honored the code this one time. (Or perhaps her manager could have.) It's a small gesture that would have gone a long way down the road for them with respect to potential purchases by me. I'm not 'taking it out' on MR PORTER by purchasing elsewhere, I just feel better spending my money at another business that at least potentially would go an extra step for me. Also I'm blocking you because you sound like a tool. I feel so boss right now.

I know this burns you up iroh but this is what my screen looks like right now. I'm confident you were dumb enough to bother to write me a scathing reply. Have a nice life. :thumbs-up:



And please everyone, let's drop my MR PORTER situation. Thank you.
