    Except I didn't get any ... perhaps the size of the order wasn't big enough :(

    it was quite an expensive order so maybe that was why.

    I have had quite a few lower priced orders circa £25-30 and had the sweets

    my £12 castelli cap turned up today with a packet of haribo, guess it depends who's packing!
    All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

    I've also had low value orders and received them, and high price orders and not. Must depend who is packing them that day... It is quite nice to receive them, and its something that wouldn't cost much at all.

    In the bigger orders they put bigger bags of haribo in! I usually find a few small bags of haribo and a few sachets of high5!

    Only once have I had any Haribo's. I think Wiggle don't like me.

    I blame CRC.

    Dont think they do it for overseas orders. Ordered about £300 worth of bits since the new year and no Haribo :(

    Completely unpredictable for me. And once I got home to find my son had opened the parcel and eaten the bloody sweets!

    they stick em in all orders. along with the occasional set of gels or tablets if those gels/tabs are being promoted.

    if you dont get any 'bo just complain to em, they will sort you out next order!

    This stuff is like chewing flavoured rubber. No wonder they give it away.

    My seven year old son seems to have developed an enthusiasm for me ordering new parts etc from Wiggle...and here I am thinking he'd caught the bug too! :D

    I don't understand why anyone would get excited about getting some free kids sweets in with their order, I order from Wiggle quite regularly, all free stuff I get goes straight into the bin.

    I can't eat Haribo's so give them to my wife when they come through. It's a great way of softening the blow of the money I've been spending on bikes. I always say that I've ordered her some Haribo and they've come with a free saddle/pair of gloves/wheels etc :)

    Never had the Haribo's, Wiggle's probably trying to keep the weight down, the parcel that is, not mine, I am vegetarian (Haribo contain pork bits) and diabetic, so no problem.

    Used to get them all the time, at the beginning I used to get gels and haribos but then it just became haribos, which was great for my colleagues as I dont eat them.

    Just as a matter of interest ...

    If anyones driving through Pontefract (best thing to do with it really :lol:) then take time out to visit the Haribo factory shop.

    Deep deep joy :D
    Still thinking of something clever to say!
