Wiggle & Chain Reaction Merger - Random observation

My new helmet arrived with a bag of Haribo so panic over .

It seems like Tredz have bought up all the Haribo lately

I placed two seperate orders both for under £20, each order arrived with four packs of Haribo!!!

Sigma always send free bags of Jelly Belly - much better than Haribo IMHO.

Something I have noticed about CRC is that I can place a order with them, because Wiggle say they haven't got it but CRC have and it turns up from Wolverhampton in a Wiggle box... go figure.

There's often 1-2% price difference in my experience, particularly on accessories.

Is it just me or have Wiggle run out of Haribo too?

I've found the opposite - if one doesn't have it, the other wont either...though maybe their systems havent completely merged yet?

As to the different prices, they might be A/B testing to a certain extent. See if they can find the sweet spot between sell loads at a cheap price and sell a few at a higher price. Whatever makes them the most money wins.

There have been a few times (post-merger) when I've noticed Wiggle and CRC have sold the same item but at different prices as well. I thought it was a bit odd.

I would surely think that they will both stock the same things at the same price eventually and that when you order from them, the order will go to whichever warehouse has the items in stock and has the most capacity to deal with more orders.
