Hi Guys – Our ears were burning! so we had to chip in to this thread.
Cubemeup – We are not owned by CRC, we dont know if thats an insult or a compliment? Does that mean we are slick and professional or faceless?
Spin – I have to agree with you, we have just found a bug on our site today to do with shipping, and this did contradict between the cart and checkout. Its now fixed. Our UK shipping policy is Free UK shipping on everything over £50. (Only CRC can afford free shipping on everything:)
Timmys – We dont just jump on a brand and sell it under We Love ‘X’, we have virtual concept stores for the brands we really like. When you see a brand store on the high st, ‘The North Face’, ‘Giant’, ‘Specialized’ etc they are not owned usually by those companies but by a retailer. We have a very large store ‘We Love Mountains’ in Hull, we have a website ‘www.welovemountains.com’ We have developed over the last three years an online concept store idea to support specific brands. We Love Lapierre being our biggest.
Just as with any physical concept store you get only those brand products brought to you by staff with a good knowledge of that particular brand.
We get asked by other companies to introduce our ‘We Love…’ concept to their brand. Some we will, others we will not. The criteria is that we believe in the brand and feel we have enough ‘love’ for it to bring it to market in this way. All online stores are backed up by the mothership in Hull with mechanics, athletes, team coach and a very motivated team.
We do also have our own indoor climbing centre and indoor skatepark too, not your average LBS:)
I hope that clears up some of the misconceptions about what we do, if you have any more questions then please ask, hopefully it might be about something exciting like bikes:)
Cheers
We Love Mountains
