Prendas Cyclismo

[brokenflipflop]

I've been on this web site for ages and I'm blowed if I can figure out how to order stuff on line off it.

Does anyone know ?

It's not clear if you can actually order anything off it at all.

cheers

Select the item you want to order, after the page refreshes look to the top right of the page. Underneath the paypal sign there is a link that says "view cart", on the next page "place order".

Hopefully this is where you are stuck. Since I don't want to buy anything atm

Cheers eyko but when I click on what I want and the screen refreshes I just get a bigger picture of the item with a link to twitter "tweet" on the right hand side.

Scroll to the very bottom of that page for sizes/colours. Then click on the 'buy' button.

Then follow my above instructions, they should be useful now

This problem may be saving you some time and money.

Over the past few years I've bought quite a few items of clothing from Prendas with the Santini brand name.

I have a fair amount of Santini stuff from my LBS, bought at slightly higher prices.

All that I bought from my LBS has lasted brilliantly through gazillions of washes. It seems like quality clothing.

I do not raise any questions as to the provenance of the Prendas stock, but all that I've bought from them has frayed, faded and generally fallen apart in fairly short order.

Anyone else found the quality of Prendas stuff slightly unusual?

Cheers Bicycle,

I did baulk at the price of what I wanted and a combination of their ultra crap web site and now you confirming that their stuff appears to be sub-standard then I'll regard this whole sorry episode as a rather lucky escape and keep my cash for another day.

cheers for responding

I have bought plenty from Prendas in the past and have never had any quality issues. And customer service is really good - I bought the wrong size once and it was a no fuss fix for them.

Never had an issue with Prendas stuff and certainly not the Santini stuff. Top quality kit at a reasonable price - can't ask for more.

Never had an issue with the website - works flawlessly for me. Select item > find size > select buy > go to basket > checkout with Paypal. Can't really see what the issue is. And they are one of the quickest to deliver IME - nearly always the next day.

And I strongly disagree that their stuff is sub-standard. Funny that you're so quick to take as gospel the word of one guy.

Got a jersey, hat and arm warmers from the site.
Had to return the arm warmers as were too small. No problems.
Cracking kit at good prices.
No complaints from me.

Select item and size in search on the left > done - picture of item is on the screen > find size ? select buy ? go to basket ? it's as clear as mud for me. there are none of these other options after I've clicked on the item I want.

Never bought from them (obviously) and for me the site isn't straight forward and why wouldn't I take the advice of one guy who said he's bought stuff from there - he has, I haven't, I'm a trusting kinda guy and he helped save me £150 as I deliberated whether it was worth scratching my head on how to order their stuff for over 30 minutes.

Sorry if it seems funny but I just wanted to order some stuff. I've got better things to do than spend half my life working out how to use a daft web site and then collate and decipher the opinions of a sample of however many people you might think I should use to justify my conclusions.

I'm not clever enough to use their website and I trusted someone who said he had used it - I'll just go somewhere else.

Must be an issue with your browser then because the website is fine for me (using Chrome).

FWIW this is the first time I've ever heard a bad word said against Prendas - on other cycling forums where they come up I've only ever heard good things.

 

[brokenflipflop]

Fair enough.

I'm crap with computers but I've got a MacBook which I think uses Safari but I definitely can't see anything that people have been saying I should be able to see on this Prendas site.

I'm prepared to accept this is the fault of me and/or my computer but I've ordered tons of stuff from dozens of other on-line stores and I've never encountered a problem like this.

I think I'll get over it though.

I have just checked the site to see if there are any problems with it.
Made a fake order and it all worked fine.

Click on item.
Click on size.

Click on view order button.
Click on place order button.

All works find and dandy.

 

[brokenflipflop]

Those options aren't visible to me on my laptop.

I think it's a sign from the gods to stop spending on cycling gear although it works fine on Wiggle so it must be a sign from the gods to stop spending on expensive items.
