Evans.

I placed an order last Thursday.  I had an email saying it would be delivered at the latest 27th with Evri (they are terrible around here).  When it was not delivered today, I went to check shipping and its not processed.  I went to contact Evans, and noticed they disolved earlier this month.  Has anyone ordered anything and had any problems?

Ordered some shoes about two weeks ago. Delivery was slow but they turned up.

Not dissolved on Companies House

they are a mike Ashley sports direct company, check the stock page, if they are preorder, ask for a cancellation, as they’ll unlikely replace stock, I’ve just noticed all the five ten sleuth dlx are showing as £33

but on preorder..

Dissolved? You sure? Nothing turned up in a quick Google news search and their website is still up.

I wonder if my nefarious imagined scenario where Ashley retools Chiggle’s website onto Evans back end and logistics is coming to pass, but he also just winds up the Evans name in the process?

I guess the holding company that was Evans, prior to whatever vehicle it was purchased under by sportsdirect.

Well at least some of you have recieved your items. I suppose I need to just be patient and hope it arrives soon.

what is it with all these big cycling companies financially struggling. I thought cycling was booming.

Thanks for taking time to reply.

Evri…mu mum has just been hooked into a scam where they are asking for credit card info to re-deliver an item. Fortunately, she didn’t fall for it and HSBC fraud team are working it all out.

Credit card details attempted to be used in Australia, Dubai, Canada…. 2FA saved the day here.

What rock have you been hiding under for the last 18 months?

In a bubble apparently.  However, I never seen it in the East Lothian courier.  If it ain’t in there it’s fake news.

Blimey. Where to begin??

In brief, Covid = big uptick in demand, combined with messed up supply chains. Prices ⬆️ on everything combined with massive over ordering as most assume the boom was here to stay.

Then demand collapses as buyers are sated and increasingly skint and loads of companies, retailers etc are landed with stock they can’t shift that they ordered a year ago..

In the case of Wiggle you’ve got a parent company that borrowed huge amounts of money at very low rates, who are now effectively busy because the loans have come up for renewal and they can’t afford the higher interest rates.

Lots more of this to come unfortunately

Evans working ok for me. 5-10s ordered Saturday, picked up from Evri shop this morning. (Same with House Of Fraser order, them and Sportsdirect and soon CRC/Wiggle all have the same stock)

I don’t think Evans in particular are struggling , Sports Direct mail order has always been a bit useless for things just getting lost in the system when the computer says “in stock” but there’s nothing on the shelf.

Last time I read the Courier it was about 5 double pages, possibly more but it was about a year ago so possibly improved.

A dribble of content from each town that is part of EL.This would explain the bubble vision. 🙂
