Anyone had orders shipped already that they had placed yesterday?

Yep. Ordered yesterday at dinnertime, Wiggle+ using the included next-day postage option. Evri delivered at lunchtime today.

Cheers guys. I don't have next day delivery but normally they ship quite quickly anyway, not sure why the hold up.

Probably Black Friday orders - I'm sure it will be processed
I placed one on Saturday and didn't get a despatch notification until late Monday

Dunno if it's due to Black Friday, financial woes, or bad luck, but an issue raised with customer support a week go is still not answered. I ordered some running kit and what was delivered was something else entirely - not even sure it was from Wiggle, though the Evri label said Wiggle on it (it was some sort of probiotic diet supplement).  i requested a refund on my original order. No reply at all.

Some prices have definitely crept back up. Was looking at a couple of DHB base layers at the weekend, now seem to have gone back up around a fiver each. Extra 10 doesn’t work on it either to bring it closer to before

Yeah, I've a couple of items I've been watching and the prices are on springs atm

Bike I was watching has now leapt back to £2349 from £1999, probably just as well 🙂

Just ordered a DHB waterproof for £13.50 and rifled through the £1-3 ish stuff to get over the £20 free delivery line. A neoprene swim hat, four sets of bungee laces, some Gore gloves for £3..!

The Brand-X 170mm droppers have gone up from £99.99 to £149.99 too which is a royal pain in the arse

Ribble 150mm droppers here at £40, if that's any help? Only 30.9mm but you can get shims cheaply.

@DrJ I had the same. Order some of the £10 hope headset cups and some cheap BBs, received a massive box of lady's clothing from an entirely different retailer 😀

@markgoldstein Cheers for the heads up! The Fox posts were showing as out of stock for me around 7pm which is why I then looked at the Brand-X ones, but just ordered a Transfer for £90, result.

Deore M4100 11-46T cassettes are now £9.99 each. https://www.wiggle.com/p/shimano-m4100-deore-10-speed-cassette?color=silver&cassetteTeeth=11-46t

Great for my winter bike coupled with the £10.99 KMC X10el chains Amazon were selling on the last prime day.

Shifters are £10 as well.

Wondering if there are any disadvantages to downgrading to this on an ebike….

Probably none. At that price I wouldn't even bother cleaning the cassette. Just put a new one in. 🙂

I had one cassette when they dropped to £20.  Just ordered another 2.  That'll keep the commuter going for a few years

Noticed the EXTRA10 code isn't always applied correctly.  Ragley bikes being a good example. Given all the price and promotion changes I guess mistakes are to be expected.

I too bought one when they were £17ish and just put another order in yesterday - I don't want to put yet another order in but at that price it's hard not to. What else to buy to bring it above the £20 free postage threshold: I didn't ever expect that to be a (first world) problem when buying a cassette!

650b are down to a crazy cheap price if that is of interest?

https://www.wiggle.com/p/prime-orra-650b-carbon-gravel-wheelset

I got a pair last week for £290 which I was happy with at the time.....

Ragley bars for a fiver, stems a fiver too,  nukeproof horizon lower headset in purple for £3, I think that's worth it just for the bearing, brand X thru axles for £2, BeElite purple or pink yoga mats £3, just a few options to bump up small orders for free postage.  Nukeproof's jockey wheels for 12sp Shimano dropped to £9.

After trying not to get involved in spending with Chiggle, I did need some new tyres.

So some £16 Conti Terra Hardpack's are on the way for my Vagabond. https://www.wiggle.com/p/continental-terra-hardpack-shieldwall-foldable-tyre

It's like the bong game (off the radio) where you're risking how low it'll go and getting your order in before what you want goes out of stock. Bought the 10 speed cassette & brandx carbon bars at the weekend and they're both now cheaper

Seriously tempted by those Reactor frames 😬

Nukeproof Horizon CL CrMo Downhill Pedals down to £27 in red and purple.

https://www.wiggle.com/p/nukeproof-horizon-cl-crmo-downhill-pedals

I was just about to get some before reading that they don't play as well with Shimano cleats and seeing that their own are OOS everywhere and no idea if we'll see stick of them again...

The main part of Signa has now gone into administration, insane the overall owed to lenders is estimated at $13bn

Urgh, FT paywall can jog on.

Reuters reporting that figure at 5 billion Euros

@acidchunks it really can jog on.

That Reuters article also references the same comments from JP Morgan that total liabilities top $13bn which is across the total group.

Nuke, you're not wrong but I've got a feeling those reactor frames might drop again, I dawdled on those spank hex XD freehubs, 5 in stock not moving for over a week, took my eye off the ball for a day or two and they all went, not that bothered though I just wanted one for options if I sell my wheels on.
If I bought a reactor frame no doubt it would drop to £500 before I even start building it up, sods law innit.

I ordered 2 yoga mats and a wetsuit for £21 inc. delivery.

Items turned up today, just sellotaped together and the address label stuck to a piece of cardboard that looked like it had been chewed out of a cardboard box. Thanks Evri! Items undamaged so not really a problem.
