As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.
Da Luca Grab Bag
Da Luca Grab Bag
So I saw the post about a grab bag of "$100+" worth of Da Luca products for $40 and thought to myself
"hey they have $100+ straps so even if it's a bag with one strap in it, it would totally be worth it!" In fact, after using a 20% off code, the offer was just that much more attractive. Today I recieved the grab bag and I was psyched!
The package itself was quite heavy and the literal cloth bag inside seemed to be stuffed with goodies. Here's what I got for $32 + shipping ($4):
- One Da Luca branded cloth face mask
- Two genuine leather bracelets
- One leather carabiner
- One slim wallet / card holder
- A Da Luca pin
- I'm not sure what that thing on the bottom is honestly but its leather
- Zero watch straps!
Now, the leather is great quality and I'm sure this is over $100 worth of nice leather goods. I guess except the face mask that just has a small square of leather with a logo embossed in it. And they never actually said I'd be getting a strap, just "products".
But damn it I thought I'd at least be getting some customer returned old stock strap or something!
Heckin' bamboozled again!
Edit - now I'm thinking maybe they just wanted to troll me as payback for using a coupon on something that's already supposed to be very discounted

Bummer about getting zero watch straps. I'm pretty sure that thing on the bottom is an earbud wrap. Here's a photo of a similar one in action:flypanam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 6:45 pm So I saw the post about a grab bag of "$100+" worth of Da Luca products for $40 and thought to myself

Re: Da Luca Grab Bag
My grab bag arrived today as well. I did get a strap, in fact three. But only one was leather. Wasn't expecting any straps, so bonus. Figured I could use the items as gifts for nephews for the holidays. I'm satisfied.

Re: Da Luca Grab Bag
Nice haul! But now I'm convinced they stinted me because I used an obscure coupon to game the system a bit hahah

Re: Da Luca Grab Bag
I got hoodwinked too! Just a bunch of crap that'll never use. A wallet, face mask, wire holder thing, a pin, and some else. If anyone wants the wallet let me know.
Re: Da Luca Grab Bag
Wow you got it worse than me! At least I got a couple bracelets, and I actually do wear mens bracelets so they're at least semi useful. Boooooo

Re: Da Luca Grab Bag
I think only [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] made off with a haul, the rest of us came up with crap. After seeing the quality of the construction and leather finishing, safe to say I will not buy again from Daluca.Split-Time wrote: ↑Sat Nov 14, 2020 6:41 pm I dabbled with the idea of doing this.
