Yes they will do thanks for that.
I've had some great deals from Halfords with accessories for bikes.
Replacement shops for Wiggle/CRC?

I am a CUK member, are you saying they will match the online price and then give me 8% off as well?

I'll try! Their nearest shop is next to a new Aldi I want to try now I have my trailer (this is what the accessories are for).

I’ve been buying stuff from Spacycles and SJSCycles for decades, always reliable and good value. I’ve also on occasion bought online from Halfords and collected instore, no problems there either.

I've used SPA and SJS before but not regularly so had forgotten them. Saved most of these shops in my favourites now. Found what I wanted at Merlin bikes so ordered

Ah, I'll let you know later - say's awaiting picking. I had to register an account, so the first time I've used them !
I don't use JE James after they messed me about over a Dura Ace headset many years ago - even checking they had stock before ordering. Didn't arrive, got stuck in a back order from Madison, so ordered one from SJS which they double checked stock over the phone, arrived next day. Followed some weeks later by JE James' order. I now have a spare, which isn't a bad thing considering how rare these are these days.

I've used them quite frequently, and never had an issue. If they say they have stock, they generally do IME (unlike their sister company Halfords).
Dogtrousers
Kilometre nibbler
To add to the list I've often bought stuff successfully from Leisure Lakes Bikes.

I've ordered a fair bit from Tredz and found them to be OK for stock IF you read the listing carefully
In Stock means what it says
In Stock with Supplier generally means it'll take a few more days, but could be a bit longer
Due in Stock on (random date) means come back next year
Also I don't think they've been mentioned, but I've had a few bits from Tweeks Cycles and found them to be good value.

Have predominantly used Merlin in the past but just recently for stock availability have been using Tweeks in Wrexham.
Fortunately for me if it is something I can carry I can collect on a bike ride as it is about 20 each way.
However I did order something mail order last week and it arrived next day (free postage over £50 which my order was)
Merlin have served me well over the years but my main gripe with them is that they vet reviews and never publish less than a four star so product reviews can be a bit misleading as you don't get to see the bad reviews.
