Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Is it even worth the hassle for 99p?

You'd have to make the effort of bringing them back to...don't know...the post office?...all for 99p worth of product. Also, would the return be free?

I'd contact PX just for a refund and throw the crappy hangers in the bin.

Don’t know how many they bought that were faulty. But I’d certainly tell them even if not worth returning. Faulty goods returns are usually free even for companies that charge usually

I would hope so. Especially for an "online only" company like Planet X I would assume online reputation is key

You’d need to look at their returns FAQs

Had a faulty inner tube from Planet X, free replacement sent and no return of the faulty one required so well worth contacting them over the holeless bracket

I have ordered the female Ribble jacket, so let's hope the size guide is accurate.

Well it arrived today. Nice jacket, great value at £9, but the sizing is way out. It is a very, very tight fit. I will hang on to it as I am trying to lose weight but probably won't order from Ribble again.

Isn't it also a legal obligation?
I recently returned a top with faulty stitching to tredz free of charge. They were fine about it.

Bradley Wiggins book Icons of Cycling is now on sale in The Works (You should have a branch somewhere near) for a fiver. Great bargain as it was only published last year with a cover price of £25.

Thanks. I’ve now started my Xmas shopping

If you are part of Amazon's Cool Kid Club you can get a Kindle Fire 7 for £35 at the moment. I considered getting one and cling filming it for a turbo trainer bike display.

Can I ask what size you ordered?
If small I could maybe suggest something else.

Interesting that you found it tight - I did suspect as much from the pic.

I ordered some men's Ribble tops in small. I'd describe them as race fit, but that is what I wanted/expected.

I don’t think you can run any virtual trainers on them though? Would love it if you could.

Valid point. I assume you can sideload apps like trainerroad, but searching on the Amazon app store doesn't show much, and they don't mention Bluetooth protocols aside from mention of audio and LE.

I would normally take a Large. I ordered Extra Large. When it arrived it said '14' on the label. If it had said 14 as the size on the website I wouldn't have ordered it as I would know that would be too small. I don't think most people would call a 14 Extra Large.

I can get it on but it is a struggle to do the zip up. To be fair, the kids said it looked ok, so I'm keeping it.

The jacket is good quality - real bargain at £9, plus £3 delivery - but it has put me off buying from Ribble again.

I did get a very prompt reply from Ribble after I suggested they have a Size Guide on the site:

"I understand that sizing for clothing is different which is why are (sic) XL is a size 14. However, we really appreciate your feedback and it will be taken on board and passed on to the correct department for future reference."

I'm new to buying cycling clothing so I think there is an element of cycling clothes just naturally being a tight fit, but I don't think many people regard a 14 as XL. It doesn't do a lot for your body confidence lol.

Great jacket though if you can get the right fit.

It does depend on the cut. I have to avoid any women's clothing that is sold as race, form fit or similar even in the largest sizes, I know it just won't fit anywhere, shoulders, hips, arms!
