Roka Lucky dip 2025 thread 2

[NoOneKnowsWhoYouAre]

Thought I'd start a follow on thread as I'm not about till tomorrow and I'm loving see all the LD arrivals, definitely doing some more next week.

1st thread here: www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5237738-roka-lucky-dip

2nd parcel arrived, a small military banty B nylon for the maxi and a paddington B nylon in Marine for the midi. Not as delighted as the previous...was hopeful of a Kennington... but not dreadful..

Hi, my free delivery Mini arrived. It’s a Chelsea c/body phone bag in Saffron, (aka very bright yellow 😹)

I was hoping for a Stratford or a Paddington D or even a hat or gloves, but a Chelsea is better for me than a purse.

However, the Emerald Mini I got earlier is doing excellent service as a gym bag, so I don’t know if I have any use for the Saffron version, (especially as I don’t really like the yellow). It may do for my friend’s birthday or I might investigate a return for a gift card.

Does anyone know how quickly a return and gift card are processed? (I wouldn’t buy anything full price from ROKA, so, if I did go the gift card route, I would want it to happen before the LD promotion ends next week.)

Thanks

@IlovePond If you make sure your order is showing as 'fulfilled' on your account, you can process the return on the portal straight away and you get a QR code or label to post it back. So if you post it today or tomorrow, they should have it by Tuesday or Wednesday. LD ends next Friday I think. I will post mine tomorrow to do the same. Although the portal allowed me to select an exchange so I selected a replacement LD. Whether it works, I don't know. I will call them next week if it goes wrong!!

I'm just lurking here waiting for my maxi LD from Monday to arrive.

I think I should probably place my blame on Royal Mail in my area rather than Roka, as they seem to be quick on delivery for everyone else!

Now just to hope I get something funky- not sure what I would use a Trafalgar for but the black totes with different coloured zips look fun!

Thanks @manpan1 - I do like the idea of being able to select a replacement.

The Chelsea would be fine in a nicer colour, (or if it was my only one 😹), but if I could send it back that would probably make more sense.

@Wombat4072 I just received a neon blue bantry (small) and it's lovely but not really "me".. I'm not looking for a swap but I'd be happy to sell it on for the maxi dip price? Let me know if you're interested ☺️

Bit worried about hearing more small Bantrys. I placed another order last night just to try one final time for a Finchley or canvas Canfield.

On the plus side though, my free midi arrived from Sat’s offer and I think I’ve hit the jackpot! It’s a Willesden XL in Avocado and I love it!

So my Maxi LD came and I got a Medium Mountain Green Finchley! I did not really need another backpack but considering my LD last year was a large, this one is a much better size and the colour is so lovely in person!

Glad I got swayed by FOMO

My very final midi arrived. An exchange for a previously returned midi. A beautiful Kennington CW denim blue. Absolutely fabulous bag.
I say 'very final' because if I put these words in writing I definitely won't order any more because I have said it out loud now... even if they do have offers next week.

@Alarae I've been eyeing up that colour but you're right, it's so difficult to get a clear idea of the colour on the Web.

I got one in Stormy, I'm on the fence about it, it's a little bit dull but will go with everything.

I'm wondering whether to go bold and try and swap for a green or orange.

I've had a trusty navy Roka backpack for around 2 1/2 years, used a lot and still going strong so feel the need for a bit of colour.

So, I caved with the free delivery offer on Monday and ordered a Midi and a Mini.

After previously receiving a Bantry B medium in black, I have also now got a small Carnaby in storm (mini) and a Kennington B medium creative waste in black and graphite (midi).

Everything is lovely, but everything is black and grey!!!! I do really love them though. Dithering about swapping, as I don’t want a colour I’m not fussed about. I need to join the Facebook group!

I already have a small (I think) Canfield B in Airforce that I got from my mum (she got it on sale or from a lucky dip) and a Paddington B in mellow camo that was in the sale that I LOVE and use all the time!!!!

Are free midis back this weekend?

Tigerlilyxx I'm not sure but I've heard rumors about offers during the final week.

I've now got a nice selection so am done.

For anyone reading this who might be thinking about getting one, my first backpack (medium canvas) has been going strong for 2 and a half years. Used daily for both carting stuff for kids about and also for work. It had been washed countless times on the gentle cycle and comes out like new every time. Would 100% recommend.

As the straps aren't padded, they're definitely not hiking backpacks but fine for days out etc and a bit more stylish.

@DoComeToMeKitty - when I packed my Canfield the other day for the trip that didn’t happen- everything fitted beautifully, but I did wonder why ROKA didn’t go the extra mile and put padding on the straps- at least on the bigger ones.

Thanks cuppa that would be brilliant, I’ll message you

Free midi offer back today

Yes code is LDFREEMIDI I just ordered 2 mini, one midi, a maxi and socks for £56.60 and got the midi free. I'm think they will make good gifts, or I'll keep them!! 🤣

Oh dear - and after I bought that mini last week, too 🙀

Did you order one last weekend too? Isn't working for me again!

Mmm- bit annoying that they have disabled the k/w discount from stacking with the free Midi code. It sticks in my craw that they first reduced the k/w discount and now it won’t work with the free Midi code. I could have ordered 2 x Maxi and got a free Midi for £54.95 last weekend. I don’t feel like ordering and paying more.

I know it’s still a good deal, but in my mind, discounts should get more generous during a promotion, not progressively less so!

I note that the k/w discount is still 20% for US customers, btw.

@IlovePond I love that you are testing the code!!!!! It's only a matter of time......

You are prob right @manpan1 😹

If they hadn’t annoyed me by disabling the k/w code to stack with free MIDI I would have cracked and ordered already as I had a basket all ready!

I am such a sheep.
I have now purchased so many bags I think I need to go into therapy.
Succumbed again with the free midi!!

@unhappybutunsureofwork my husband opened a parcel yesterday and yelled 'thank the lord, it's a backpack, we needed another one'. I felt embarrassed and promised I wouldn't order any more. Can I join your support group?

What is this FOMO?! Just ordered two more Maxi LDs and the free Midi

Guarantee I should have just stopped at my green medium Canfield but I just love the surprise aspect.
