Ordered from Wiggle yesterday morning..dispatched this morning. I was hoping to have them by today but then I shouldn't have been such a tight arse with my "free shipping" options ๐Ÿ™‚

if one of the items is [u]needed[/u] tomorrow it wont turn up

if one (or more) of the items depends on an other, one of those wont turn up at the same time as the other

despite all the packages fitting easily through the letterbox, you can guarantee that the postie will return them all to the sorting office.

EDIT: *s***** fbk's post not visable when i was typing!

Yeah, it'd be nice if they all arrive tomorrow but none of them are really 'needed' apart from maybe the CRC headset but you're right SOOBalias. Bodged stuff for the mo' so I guess I can ride carefully with mismatched bearings and yellow grips.

Just got CRC despatch email too so I guess it's down to Royal Mail then . . . fingers crossed ๐Ÿ™‚ . Wiggle order not processed yet but I did opt for cheapskate delivery - I can live without a bottle cage over the weekend having not used one for years anyway.

but everyone knows that as soon as you click 'order' your brain says you need the item asap and the days seem to pass like weeks!

Must point out that Mama doesn't actually want or need most of the tiny bike stuff she buys, she's just got an addiction to buying stuff/waiting excitedly for delivery.

Maybe you should take up breeding some sort of animal, Mama?

Then you could sell them, right, and make money for to buy more tiny bikes! ๐Ÿ˜€

No need for more tiny bikes Elfin - I reckon three (plus a spare frame for those 'I feel like a new bike today' moments) is just about right, but yeah, parcels are great . . . and you can never have enough spare colour-co-ordinated grips ๐Ÿ˜‰

I ordered from Evans on Saturday, not had a dispatch email yet. Something tells me that their claims of "in stock" arent true seeing as everywhere else doesnt have the item until the end of the month.

The Wiggle pay more option is not a faster delivery service, it's a faster put it in a box and take it to the postbox option. It is one of my pet hates that one.
