- Coupons
- Online discount coupons are available on an irregular basis and may vary in value and duration throughout the year. These coupons will exclude items that are already discounted specifically for sale. For a list of all excluded products please click here.
Update 08/03/24: Due to some confusion we're clarifying that as per the welcome email our current "10% off your first order" coupon excludes most of our our Sithl products as well as products in our "Sale" category. It also excludes products which have been reduced in price specifically to match or beat prices online for example the BBZ8000 Buckler Boots. Some are not listed as "Sale" items as this is a standard sell price reduction with the idea of continuing to offer competative prices on this range. For a list of all excluded products please click here. We reserve the right to cancel any order where the discount applied has been the subject of an error or setup issue. For example: two discounts being applied to the same order where unintended.
