Do Wiggle actually give free Haribos?

Flying Monkey

First few orders I placed with them had the Haribo's. Last couple of orders...nothing.
Must be the credit crunch!

Yup, got some lights on Saturday - one pack. Very quickly snaffled by my three-year-old though. Also have a couple of bottle-openers.

And if you have a platinum discount, coupled with their free postage, I still find them difficult to beat either for price or service.

omm nomm nomm

yurp.

seems pretty random though.

I've had sweets on my last order, was lucky got a free Platinum subscription through work and can't stop buying stuff from them hehe

I've only ever ordered from WIggle three times and had Haribo every time. Twice it was the Wiggle logo ones (very cool) and once the jelly baby/gummy bear things.

I received the haribo sweets and was insulted to see they've got gelatine in them (animal skin and bone). Never, ever will I order from Wiggle again and i don't really see how vegetarians can buy anything from this company.

if your insulted by a pack of free sweets you must lead a very sheltered life.

No, not really mate - I just happen to think big companies should show respect for their customers beliefs. A lot of cyclists are vegetarians.

true , but a free turnip is unlikey to have the same kudos with non-vegetarian customers.

bicycle-art

You make a good point there:)

My suggestion to Wiggle would be provide non-gelatine sweets (no one could tell the difference taste-wise), but maybe that would cost an extra 1p an order or something, so being entirely profit-driven, that company won't change unless enough veggies actually boycott them.

I had them in my first order but never since

agreed, Chainreaction are far cheaper in my experience.

ps I bought a packet of Haribo's last week and found a set of Fox Talas 36 in them. That was a nice suprise!

Got some with my first order ever with them, cannot for the life of me remember what i ordered though, wasn't expensive, The next order i got nothing even though it was about £130 more than the previous order.

Havn't had any free stuff from CRC for a while. Superstar on the otherhand have never failed me no matter what size the order. They must realise i'm a fatty!

Good grief my goodness man alive calm down dear.

They don't know you're a vegetarian, so you can't blame 'em for that.
And nobody's forcing you to eat them.

Sheeesh.

I got a small packet when I ordered some stuff about a month ago. It's true! And they delivered next day on an order that was place about 3pm the previous day. Impressive!

Same happened to me.. I then placed a £10 "revenge order" with Chain Reaction..

hahahaha That's what I did. I was so miffed not to get my sweeties with a bigger order that I bought from Chain Reaction on my next order to

No Harbos for me in the last few orders but I got a For Goodness Shakes recovery drink powder this morning with my £65 order.

I got some low-calorie electrolyte drinks tablets from CRC recently. Low-calorie electrolyte drinks eh? What's that all about?: the ones with glucose in taste bad enough but at least you get an energy burst to help you up the hill.....straight in the bin with those I'm afraid!

Andy!

I got a strawberry milkshake sachet in my last order from wiggle
