Questions from a shopping stagiare...

I see old-pros saying that Some Bike Shop or other has X product at £100 pounds and that they will get/got a Wiggle price match. Why bother? Why not buy from Some Bike Shop? Is it the customer services and returns policy? You wanna get platinum loyalty from Wiggle?

    For me it would be free returns, major boon, especially with clothing.
    Just had them price match an Assos garment that ribble had.

    Additionally, you have 365 days to complete said return.

    Anyone else noticed their free postage has doubled to £20 recently.

    An answer from the yellow jersey - thanks. BTW can you use Quidco with a price match?

    Yeah, that really. I know that it will come the next day if I use DPD option. I know that I can send it back. I know that my paypal pay 14 days later will work. I know that if I send it back in that time the paypal payment will cancel itself out (effectively trial for free). I know that they won't haggle on warranty.

    Yes to quidco, or topcashback which I have now defected too. Slightly higher cashback, seemingly across the board, and much less instance of purchases not tracking.
