yea they're not stacking, once you add on cybermonday it overwrites the 5% and I cant actually delete the GJ5% once its been added to try it the other way.

Same goes for you! Contact me in the morning and I'll get you all setup. Just make sure you remember what you have in your cart in case it disappears overnight.

Good Morning!

After messing with all the coupons I have finally figured out a solution! Please see below for updated coupon codes:

Garage Journal SPECIAL Cyber Monday Deal- 30% OFF $300+: "CYBERMONDAY-GJ"
(Only works on non-sale items and orders OVER $300+)

Garage Journal EXTRA 5% OFF Sale Items ONLY: "GJ-5%"
(Only works on SALE items and can be stacked)


Thank you for your patience as I work out all the knots!

-Kelsey

Added a handful of Armstrong items to my cart and got error message:
"Coupon code "CYBERMONDAY-GJ" is not valid."

The sale is too complicated for my blood.

I am sorry you feel that way. :( I condensed my last post to make it simple.

Did you have an order that was OVER $300+? If your cart total is not $300+ the coupon code will not work.

Please let me know if it works.

I thought that was the issue as well, so I took my most expensive item and added 10 of them to make sure, and still same issue.

Are you sure your using the following codes together?

"CYBERMONDAY-GJ" AND "GJ-5%"

Please try one more time! :)

Thank you,
Kelsey

GJ-5% worked, but I tried adding CYBERMONDAY-GJ and it still gave me the same error message. Gotta get back to work. Will revisit in a few hours.

Please get on live chat when possible through our website so I can figure out the problem. It has been working and I cannot figure out why it isn't for you. :dunno:

The only thing I can suggest in the meantime is to empty your cart and try re-adding the items again and putting in the "CYBERMONDAY-GJ" code first and then the "GJ-5%". The order shouldn't matter but you never know!

Will be waiting for your chat!

Regarding coupons not working for some: are you running some sort of tracker blocking software like Ghostery?

Hey there, no, we don't use any software like that. We are actually pretty limited on what we can do on our site in regards to plug-ins and the like.

Kelsey, I just tried to enter an order and I could not get the codes to work the first few times I tried. I deleted the basket down to a little over $250 I finally got the 5% code to apply but it doesn't appear to be calculating correctly as 5% of a $250+ order is not a discount of -$3.27. That is close to a single item discount in the basket rounding up but not for the whole basket so I maybe confusing what the discount applies to but I thought your GJ special was for the whole order. I may circle back and try it again if I can get some time this afternoon but just thought I would pass on to you my experience.

5% coupon DID apply to the whole order. It was not stacking correctly so I had to change the coupon and the 5% coupon now only applies to SALE items in the Cyber Monday Category. You would be better off stacking the regular Garage Journal discount (GJ0613-10%) with the 5% off sale item discount (GJ-5%) to get 10% off non sale items and 5% off sale items making it a better deal all around. So to simplify use these two codes:

GJ0613-10%
GJ-5%

This will get you the best deal.

I hope I cleared that up for you.

Ok, I tried to take another run at it. The coupons you mentioned do apply unfortunately they don't apply correctly at least based on your explanation. I added 4 items to my cart; two cyber specials and two regular items. One regular priced item was 161.52 ( item # 069-34-376) so using my GJ 10% code that item should have a 10% discount applied based on your summary. It does not. The order had the proper 5% discount applied but not the 10%. All of my discount amounted to less than $6.00. My guess is that could be a stacking issue. I tried to engage the live chat to have you take a look but nothing happened so it certainly could be an issue on my end.

I am a pretty patient guy and while the discounts were not a huge deal the frustration of why it wasn't working correctly finally made me throw in the towel. You guys have been great in the past on my previous orders and have been done a good job of customer support on the GJ so I will be back. I would however recommend working out some kinks as sometimes you only get one shot at a new customer.

I placed an order yesterday and the normal GJ 10% off coupon didn't work, it showed an error message that said it didn't start until Dec 4. I figured it was due to the Cyber Monday sale. The 5% coupon worked fine for me though.

The coupon code was disabled for about an hour yesterday due to us trying to fix the problem. You probably tried to place the order sometime in between us messing with them!

I apologize and appreciate your order and business.

Thank you,
Kelsey

I placed an order for a bunch of gearwrench items. I noticed that the coupon code cybermonday-gj did not take 30% off any gearwrench items that contained a ratchet or drive tool, but worked fine on items without(socket only sets in my case). I even tried adding speeders, breaker bars, and extensions and it excluded those as well. I ended up switching out a couple items on my wish list and sticking to socket only sets this time around. Hope this helps troubleshoot the issues others and I were seeing.

Thanks for the sale and supporting Garage Journal

Thank you for that information, it helps a lot to pin point the problem when I receive feedback. I can assure you the next sale we have will go much smoother as I figured out the problem.

Thank you all for a very successful sale and I hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving!

We will start on the "12 Days of Giveaways" Promo very soon! I will post later today the Advertisement with all the items you can win. It is currently on our Facebook but for those without one we will have an entry portal through our website for you to enter.

We will also have a SPECIAL giveaway item JUST for Garage Journal members! Be on the lookout for our announcement!

Thank you :bounce:

There is a link on our website and on the 13th it will be posted here as well. On the left hand of our homepage look under "Quick Links". It will say "Trident's 12 days of Giveaways".

Currently it is not open but will be open to entering starting at Midnight on the 12th. You have to enter a new entry every day for that day's given prize..am I making sense?

All you will need to do to enter is your full name and email address! That's it!

Thank you,
Kelsey

Alright I guess I misunderstood what I read I assumed you had to sign up beforehand and then the prizes would be awarded starting the 13. I guess I forgot to turn my brain on this morning. :dunno: Thanks for the clarification!
