Hi - I'm UK based and a complete beginner. I have just purchased an 11 speed bike from a great local cycle shop, and want to buy a Kickr Core for indoor training. Where am I best to buy this? Any recommendations as to whether to purchase from wahoo direct (any experience using wahoo direct?), or from a local stockest since the shop I bought the bike from doesn't stock these? Appreciate any guidance/advice. Thanks.

I’ve only dealt with Wahoo for warranty issues but they were great. Quick response and issue sorted promptly.
The only reason I might consider a local retailer over online for a trainer is for easier returns, though. Trainers are big and heavy. Significantly easier to dump one on the desk of a local shop than to package one up and get it shipped!

On a similar note, we’ve just purchased a new turbo ( Jetblack Volt ) It came extremely well packaged with a sort of industrial grade airbag surrounding a further layer of protection. The Wahoo was on our shortlist of three, but DC Rainmakers recent review, and a decent discount swung it for the Volt.

Wahoo seem to have a sensible pricing structure that means you should be able to get their products for the same price at your LBS as online. Their customer service/aftersales is excellent.
I don't know where you are based but I bought a Tacx Neo from these guys, at an excellent price, they are doing Wahoo now but I don't know how their prices compare.
