Pandora

I ordered the double leather bracelet on the first day this was posted on the board (forgot to use any codes though) and was advised it would probably come first week in December. Had an email last night to say it had been dispatched and it arrived with the postman this morning. It was well packed and came with the standard white Pandora box. hth.

Gutted... Think I missed this....
I am trying to go to pandora on achica but it is not working

unfortunately i missed out too - but i've just bought a macrame bracelet which was clearly bunged on ebay as soon as the seller bought it from Achica, for maybe £1 more than I would have paid on Achica for it . So it might be worth looking on ebay if you have an idea of what you're looking for.

I ordered one of the watches - one of the ones with the leather straps that wraps around twice. It arrived via postie this morning. It's really nicely presented in a very posh box but I had't realised quite how tiny the face was going to be. Luckily it's for DD, and her 17 year old eyes will cope with it far better than my :cough: year old eyes would!

I've not bought from Achica before. I was slightly taken aback when I looked at the Pandora site before I ordered. Achica had the watch advertised as RRP £245 and although there weren't any on the Pandora site that were exactly the same, their most similar ones were about £170. I'd contemplated buying a rug from Achica a couple of weeks ago and when I searched for the same online, the RRP was a bit less than Achica were advertising (although not such a difference as between the £245/£170 watch). Has anyone ever kept an eye on their prices to see how 'accurate' the original RRPs are? (Sorry - that might be a bit OT for this thread)

The RRP on the Pandora stuff is spot on. These watches were discontinued in Sept 2013...they are still available at some outlets at discounted prices. Charms, for example the beehive...originally sold at £80...this was the RRP on Achica

I always google first, you gave a good long basket time with them.

Hope my watch comes on Monday

I got the Grand c watch the last time, dh bought it for my birthday (which is next week so have not worn it yet!) its a nice heavy dial, not small and clear to see. I also got an extra bezel last time and have ordered another strap this time. Lovely well made, but would not pay rrp for it, but a good price for a good watch.
Also got the beehive charm as missed it last time round;)

How much mine not been dispatched yet? :-(

Ok mine arrived today.

The bracelets all come in a normal Pandora hard bracelet case. Good for gifts. Take them out of the bag and just place them as you would in the shop.

The watches come in a HUGE pandora watch gift box.

Over all very pleased.

One thing I would note....I don't know where they source this stuff from, but it's clear to me they don't come with the Pandora warranty. Cards either not signed, or missing.

So if giving these as gifts....people might wonder where the warranty card is.

Also it would look if you have a fault, you're only hope will be to claim your SOGA rights for remedy. Due to the nature of their business, it would probably be a refund. Our repair, replace, refund.

I don't think this is an issue to me, pay your money take your chances, kind of thing. I was looking at this stuff and paying a lot more for it. It may be a pain if you do end up with a faulty watch or bracelet though....

I read somewhere on the Achica site last time we Pandora'd that they source from Pandora and goods can be returned to Pandora.
I will try and find it again and link to it.

Regarding the watches, if you flip the front of the box forward you'll find a hidden little drawer. The warranty is inside it.
