I didn't buy anything from this sale. I think they've been raising the prices because on sale a couple years ago I was able to snag pairs for like $5-8 and now it's more like $15. I already have too many so I thought I'd hold myself back this time.

I did notice that you now need to pay for shipping. Honestly, I'm surprised that they didn't do this earlier considered everything practically is international, but it sucks for them now as more retailers are moving to free shipping instead of the other way.

oh have they increased prices? im based in AUS so maybe prices are differnet? not sure though. but they havent done much 50% off, mainly 30-40% these days. how long ago was it when u got them for $5-8usd?

i guess free shipping on one sale item will make them lose money especially international shipping. though $40 isnt hard to spend on their site... some other brands dont offer free shipping unless you spend over 100-150$aud... (and who spends that much on speedos in one order?)

So I guess it was more like $7-10, but this was from February 3rd, 2016. Sorry for slightly highjacking this thread.

I didn't get anything. I'm very into Marcuse now and bought 2 of their suits last month. So I'm done for now and can't spend anymore on Speedos. And I didn't know they stopped doing free shipping that sucks! But that was weird cause just a couple of weeks ago I bought someone 4 pairs of undies and I still got free shipping.

Oh wait! I did spent over $40 so I guess you're right about them giving free shipping if it's over $40. Ok I'm blabbering sorry guys.

I have enough and they are overpricing for their stitching quality.

The AliExpress brands need to learn how to make them properly without a stupid camel toe seam up the front and then there will be plenty $10 shipped.

Industry is charging too much for such a small amount of stitching and fabric.
$50 boardshorts became the fashion and now the briefs think they can charge that too.

I missed it. Kinda glad I did. I didn't realise there was so many issues with shipping, prices, quality, etc.

I pass this round too.

I would only buy if they have remade more of their original line of nylon speedos.

I passed. They seem to have stopped making new suits in my size, XS. It's disappointing. Even the suit in my avatar isn't available anymore in my size. I'm giving them this free publicity for nothing!
