    But they already do the two-way fit at considerabley more than standard clincher fit ?
    Never understood why the two-way fit wheels are so much more than standards, can't cost that much more to produce and limited market still for tubeless I'd say - tyre wise and people willing to try them.

    They have not paid off the cost of the new extrusion die... hence they charge more for them. It's remarkable how much a simple steel die costs... tens of thousands!

  • Thanks for the heads up on this, price was too good to turn down.

    Placed my order a couple of hours ago and paid for next day delivery, have already had email confirmation of dispatch so they seem to be honoring the price.
  • Just received a confusing E-Mail from Wiggle (depending if your cup is half full or half empty) stating that I will be refunded my money as they could not process my order. The 2nd sentence suggests that they will dispatch in 2-7 days.

    Will they or won't they?

    Should I have tried to buy two pairs???

    I wish I paid for next day delivery as they have just cancelled my order :(

    If they have actually taken your money then they have formed a binding contract to supply the goods (I believe). Unless they are physically unable to supply then I think you would be within your rights to insist they do.

    I had the same email about a back order with a different order number and then that back order now shows as being cancelled !
    I seem to recall that errors and omissions can be a reason for online sales to be cancelled by the vendor but don’t quote me.
    Serves me right for shouting about it.
    Be very interested to know if anyone gets them !

    Someone on Commuting Chat got Evans to price match, wonder how they'll get on?

    I asked them why my order was cancelled and they told me that they can't give me a reason, but will update me once they know.

    Another cancelled order here :cry:

    The way I read the email though suggests they will honour it on the back order when they get stock. I have just emailed them and asked them to confirm because I have shaken hands on a deal to sell the Aksiums coming on my new bike to someone I work with. Don't see why I should have to renege on that deal because of a Wiggle c0ck up.

    I don't think thats the case, at least I bought a Garmin 810 bundle off an amazon seller for a cracking price, unfortunately it was an error, Amazon had already taken my money and I received an email from the seller 3 days after making the order saying it was an error and that I would receive a refund. Nothing I could do.

    This wording suggests they do intend to honour it?

    "If you were charged for this order, then a refund will be issued. You may see this charge and refund on your statement. Please note it can take up to 10 days for the refund to appear as cleared funds depending on your original payment method. At the moment we do not have any more stock so we have created a new back order for you, Order no. **********. We aim to despatch a new item to you in 2-7 days, providing our supplier still has stock available. Otherwise we will contact you again with a revised despatch date. You can track this order via your wiggle account:

    May be wrong though, who knows? They have a get out with the "providing our supplier still has stock available" but don't say "at that price". They obviously will get stock again at some point! I have a feeling this is turning sour though.

    Ribble were doing them for £218 ish (245-13%) which was good. Not sure if the 13% discount is still going. Someone at Wiggle might be looking for a new job.

    I dont know how it works with a marketplace seller as Amazon is just an agent and although they may have taken the money, they may not have given it to the seller yet.

    But in general ecommerce rules, an item on a website and even an order for that item and acknowledgment of that order is just an 'invitation to treat' and not legally binding. No contract exists until they have taken your money, at that time the deal is formalised and legally binding and a contract to supply the goods exists. It may even be possible that they would be forced to get stock by any means if you pushed them to the law - even if that meant buying from another retailer if the distributor has no stock.

    This is one of the key reasons why they dont normally take your money until they ship - not for your benefit but to protect themselves...

    T&C: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/h/option/terms_ ... sofservice

    When you place an order, you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order. This email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. Wiggle retains the right to accept or reject this offer before processing the order. A contract between us for the purchase of the goods will not be formed until your payment has been approved by us, the prices have been verified, and the order has been processed and dispatched. A second email will be sent confirming these arrangements...Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.

    Looks like they have plenty of wiggle room...

    Cancelled here too, or at least the same ambiguous email as others have received.

    It seemed too good to be true, turns out it was. Bumholes.

    I haven't had an email informing me of cancellation, but looking at my order history shows its status as 'canceled' (sic)
