I rang All Terrain cycles this morning as I need a new chain, and saw that they had a good offer online on a specific chain. I was ringing to see how much more it would be in the shop, expecting it to be a few pounds more.
However I was very pleasently suprised when the guy said they had none in store, but I could order online and then pick up from the warehouse which is literally around the corner.
Apparently its a recent change to their policy.. and a good move IMO. Perhaps they have been reading on here ?!?
Its not a full proof system, but should work I guess..
Apparently when placing the order it will ask for a shipping address, but in the notes box put that you will pick up from the warehouse. The invoice still charges for delivery, but the guy said that they dont charge the card until the order has been proceseed, so postage will not be charged.
If wiggle would do this too it would be ace for me.
Cool!
Just been round to their warehouse and picked up a free chain 😀
