cancelled Wiggle heads-ups

[vickster]

I ususally check wiggle first, CRC second. Merlin Cycles and Sigma are my backups. I am fairly certain my debit card was spoofed during transactions with the latter two although this is personal experience only (and may have been coincidence).

I never use a debit card for online retailers (well almost never)!

Never had a problem with Wiggle. They still seem resonable price wise. But I always pay with PayPal. 😊

Priced a Thomson seat post on Wiggle & CRC on Monday £54.99. Returned on Thursday to purchase £60.99on both sites. looking elsewhere .

About 15 or so years ago I used to use Wiggle for everything. Their prices on a few items I wanted were eye brow raising higher than CR and Tredz so I just bought from CR and Tredz.

I tend to use Wiggle/CRC just now because they offer click and collect for free. Rutland Cycles is convenient for me too. Evans et al. do similar but they are not very convenient. Sigma do click and collect but you pay for it other wise I'd use them more.

I take it all back. Got a new tyre from them this morning and low and behold - a bag of Haribos

Unfortunately, Mini-Me swooped in like a seagull and stole them

Rarely use wiggle these day, and then only if I can’t get from elsewhere. Agree with the comment about Aeron kit, with their close to Castelli pricing. Who do they think they are?

Returns are a bit sketchy too, I had a right battle with them last time returning a set of mudguards where the silicone straps had perished - had to quote sale of goods act to chivvy them up. Very poor.

Most recent purchases have been PlanetX, Evans, and even Halfords believe it or not. Used to use Tredz but even they’ve gone off the boil.

What is this 'wiggle heads up' you're talking about, it's not at all clear from reading this thread.

The daily emails I'd agreed to receive from Wiggle promoting their current 'sales' and 'offers', and new products.

Hampton Wick (Kingston Upon Thames)...maybe not local to you

Might be a case of prices hitting rock bottom, companies needing to actually make some money(some online sites sell parts for less than cost price) and things like build kits (which are sometimes used as parts )being less readilly available.

I still use Wiggle on occasions although their prices are less competitive nowadays. In my experience I never find anything cheaper at Evans... maybe it's just my luck. Tredz are pretty good on prices but a lot of the times I've bought from them I get an email saying they are waiting for delivery of the product themselves which is a bit annoying but you are given the option to cancel your order.
