It was probably sold out on Saturday, which is why you couldn't get to the shipping bit; that or one of the data fields was borked. Anyway, they get hammered during their bigger sales - stuff goes fast and/or they sometimes have small quantities. I picked up a couple things, some casual pants and a merino shirt, but a half dozen things that I'd saved the previous evening were gone after I'd slept on it. Oh, and this was with Chrome, which is the only browser I use, so I don't know what that was all about.

Mr, Mrs, Dr, etc.
Basically I'm dumb for not realizing I had to select it. At the same time, it didn't tell me a field was missing. Also, I dont remember the last time I filled in Mr, Mrs, Ms, etc since its seemingly never required.
And its archaic at this point in society.
Does everyone but me still fill that field in?
But its a British brand so there is that.

Data is money. If you supply a simple title that likely has 90+% confidence level of telling any future list purchaser what sex you are (more assuredly than a first name), it's a more valuable database than another that doesn't have this.

I went to the Rapha store for some “kit,” but they took one look and told me I was too elite.

I am annoyed for not ordering some stuff earlier - the pink casual tee with black lettering is now out of stock in my size. Damnation.

I've been burned a few times when I'm missing a certain field, and they try to alert me of it by changing the one-pixel wide box around that field from black to red. Sure, I might notice that.... If I keep a magnifying glass here by my desk!

That shirt has been in my Wish List basket for more than a year; it's perpetually on sale and seemingly never goes out of stock in an L. I'll eventually get one when I find a deal on something and need a little extra to get me over the free shipping hump (until then I have that T in Navy with pink lettering)

Ha, that was my undoing as well. I wanted the t-shirt (and now i want the navy with pink lettering too!) and couldnt find a Core jersey in my size and in a color that I liked to get me to the $150 free shipping mark. I guess Rapha was forcing me to buy their more expensive jerseys - but it is against my religious beliefs to pay $100 or more for a jersey except under very special circumstances.

India. It's the same to Malaysia or Singapore - other options for me to have it shipped (well, under normal circumstances anyway) - so it appears to be standard for all of Asia. Otherwise, it is $15. Which, come to think of it, is quite cheap for DHL Express shipping.

edited to add: BTW, they must pick stock from different warehouses - I'm seeing the Navy/Pink in stock from XS through XL.

Oh, and my Rapha order arrived the other day. Mechanics slim fit pants were bigger than expected - already sent them back for a smaller pair. The rose colored merino base layer is as expected, though a tad long. It'll go nicely under my merino sweaters (Dusty Pink crew neck and Navy LS polo) when autumn arrives. If any of their merino sweaters pops up - get them. They're awesome.
