  1. Just received my new Ron Hill Bikesters from Wiggle. Currently got a good deal @ £11.99 although the
    £3.99 p&p rather takes the edge off, but still cheaper than can be found locally and I don't have to
    trawl around trying them on and being given the drooling response from spotty yoofs when I ask for
    Ron Hill Bikesters. Ordering was simplicity itself and delivery was spot on.....and finally, a nice
    touch in customer care was a little pack of half a dozen customised wiggle wine gums included ;-) (I
    am easily bought) Dave.
    p.s. - I have no vested professional (or amateur for that matter) interests in Wiggle.

    Know what you mean Dave, I order stuff from Wiggle and the service is spot on, I also received a wee
    pack of gums from them. It's the first place I look for anything.

    Ditto your comments on service. Last time I got a nice aluminium keyring bottle opener thrown in.
    Funny thing is I never use it yet it made me well disposed to using them again.

  8. Good service here too from Wiggle. Ordered three pairs of Bikesters so the Unfit Family match when
    out cycling (standards must be maintained you know) plus stocked up on the SIS - so we got the free
    delivery. Stuff ordered yesterday arrived today. Excellent service. Got the wiggle gums too ;-)

    Cheers, helen s

  9. I'm fortunate in that wiggle are about a quarter of a mile from where I live, so when I order from
    them, I add a note telling them I will collect. It's always ready for despatch quickly and they
    never forget to take off the carriage charge so yes, I'm very happy with their service. Not been
    given any wine gums though! "Dave" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

    I got sod free gifts all when I ordered from them - but I did get a beach ball from Tchibo - which
    was nice. 🙂

    I recently bought some new PC48 chain. When I tried Wiggle I was shocked to find out how much more
    expensive it was than other mail order retailers: Wiggle 9.99, Parker 6.50, Settle 5.99 but the
    winner is Xpedia at
    4.85. Wiggle charge a whopping 106% more. Just a thought.

    I've got that - almost weightless and absolutely essential on picnic rides. I never drink beer

  15. Must be doing something wrong...

    I tend only to buy the 'bargains' on wiggle. Just got Bikesters, 2 pairs mitts and and tyre, £50+.
    Maybe I didn't get my wine gums because I selected the free delivery option? That's a point
    actually, why doesn't it default to free delivery? It certainly enjoys telling you ' if you spend £x
    more you get free delivery'

    Pricing not always great though...looking for new rear brake mech for my MTB

    Deore V brakes

    Wiggle price £14.99 + Postage Cyclexpress price £10.99 + Free postage

    In fact cyclexpress are so cheap I may order the entire set of brake mechs front and rear with
    cables and levers for £33.99.

    I'd rather save the money thatn have the wine gums now I think about it!

    Bob.

    I have a set of Deore V-Brakes (and levers) you might be interested in. About 100 miles on them.
    Levers unused. VGC.

    £25?

    There's a thought, Bob. With the saved money, you could always go out and buy far more wine gums
    than the measley half a dozen they send you....it doesn't matter that they don't say 'Wiggle' on
    'em...'sonly advertising hype ;-)
    - There's free delivery??????....Damn!! Dave.

    order retailers:

    I frequently have found this to be the case and usually refuse to use any sites which charge
    for delivery.

    £3.99 = a very expensive packet of wine gums.

    Alas, it would appear that either:

    o Mexican[1] beer bottle tops are made of Sterner Stuff, or o Wiggle's bottle opener is made
    from Cheese

    as two and a half weeks of daily use have rendered mine completely useless.
