Is there a minimum spend to get Haribo from Wiggle?

2 orders (20 quid ish each) and no Haribo. I keep getting my hopes up when confronted with a Wiggle box at the office, and even make promises to the lovely courier girls that I will share my wares with them, needless to say, they are starting to stop believing, as am I.

    Did you give the secret hand shake when you placed the order? :wink:

    Have you checked your order's been dispatched/that they've definately taken your money?

    Might be out of stock or not able to get them from the supplier (though seems unlikely when you could just go to the corner shop).

    Doesn't really matter how much you spend, you should get it delivered if you've bought it.

    I feel your pain, and know where you're coming from. Until my last order, despite having spent enough to get 'Gold' customer status, I'd never once received a pack of the much heralded Haribo. Just wretched energy drink samples (sorry Wiggle, don't mean to sound ungrateful). I can't put into words how elated I was to receive my first ever gift of Haribo with my last delivery, Bizarrely, I was more excited about this than the bike kit - can't even remember what that was! Finally I felt I'd been welcomed into this magical world that until now I'd only heard rumoured, a wonderful world of bike goodies and rubbery sweets. Lovely. Thanks Wiggle.

    Just ordered a Garmin 800 from Wiggle, and have high expectations of lots of Haribo with this one. I'll be sure to blame Wiggle, and Speed King, if I'm disappointed.

    So you're not a "Brother of the Haribo" eh?

    WTF??? You normally get small bags of haribo for free thrown in with the order as a thank you, not something you pay for.

    Never mind the Haribo. My Wiggle bottle opener has been going great guns for years.

    Maybe it's because I'm overseas (and therefore a bloated, overpaid, tax-avoiding expat), but I've never had any. Spent 140 quid last week - not a single, solitary bag.....



    I blame Wiggle.

    My latest sweeties were actually in an orange packet, and branded "Wiggle" instead of Haribo! Anyone else had these?

    Worst of all is to be told that Haribo is in the box only to scrabble around and find it's not there.

    Look mate, some of us have a habit to fund. Those 10p bags just don't cut it.

    Yep, £15 order for some compression tights, and sure enough the Haribo came too. Note - havent tried the compression tights yet, but ate the haribo within 1 minute!

    My Garmin 800 arrived today. I was a bit disappointed that Wiggle sat on the order for a few days, but I suppose they were busy because of their 20% sale. However, I was gutted (and slightly offended) that there were no Haribo. My most expensive single order yet and nothing. Not even any energy drink samples (that will teach me to moan about getting these in the past instead of Haribo). I do blame Wiggle. I'm a broken man.

    (The Garmin however is ace!).

    My son went into the SPAR shop to get some Haribo and came out with an SRAM cassette - he was gutted!

    Lol, I used to get Harribo when I ordered all the time from Wiggle until their prices went up. I don't even like Harribo.

    Sodding Wiggle. Bought Focus Cayo, Garmin 500, maintenance stand and a rigid fork for my MTB. Was looking forward to a tiny packet of Haribo to munch on while I attached the pedals. Did I get any? Did I f-.

    £5.99 for some almost-out-of-code energy gels? They'll give me Haribo for that. But not for a bike, a computer, a stand and a fork. Life's unfair.
