Wiggle doubled the postage threshold

[bondirob]

Just been on Wiggle and discovered you now need to spend £20 instead of £10 to get free postage.
It's a shame because I like shopping at Wiggle but they've just made their competition cheaper.

They must have cheap carriage charges to give free on that value, mine are £100 to get free post.

 

[bondirob]

£100? What do you sell?

 

[ianrauk]

We charge postage on all our transactions whatever and how ever much the spend.

£20 is still cheap for free posting. Planet-X are currently £50

I only wanted some chain links which you could put in a letter, postage is £1.99

When you think that they do tracked delivery and have to pay for the jiffy bag or box (yes Wiggle have shipped me small items in an oversized box) to put it in £1.99 doesn't go that far.

Chainreaction (owned by Wiggle) £9
Sigma sport £10
Tredz free on all orders

I'd prefer if they kept the jellies and kept postage the same:-)
Tredz do free delivery and last time I got 2 packs of jellies

I ordered from wiggle last night for the first time in absolutely ages. They were the cheapest by a long way on price and it was free delivery. It's the first time I have found them to be cheapest is the aforementioned absolutely ages.

If you'd ordered chain links from me* I would have delivered them on a bed of rose petals free of charge.

*I'm sure I could have ripped a few off an old chain lying on the bike shed floor

Windscreen repair tools and consumables. I have just stopped all free carriage, thanks for reminding me that I needed to do so.

How much for some 11 speed links with rose petals

I'd expect Chain Reaction to follow Wiggles lead soon. (I also expect they will drop the BC discount but that's another matter)

In the grand scheme on bike bits £20 doesn't buy much

50 quid each
