Boardmans on Wiggle

...if you change your country to Japan.

Wondered what the story was with that, been getting loads of emails from them saying they are now stocking them but the links don't bring anything up. Must be that halfords deal that stops them shipping to Ireland?

AFAIK, one can buy a Boardman from Wiggle so long as it is to be shipped to anywhere other than Ireland or the UK.

A couple of things

If I read that right, the team carbon road bike is €600 cheaper on that site than Halfords are selling it for here.

I looked up the Cube Agree GTC Pro on a German cube site. It too is selling for around €600 cheaper on that site than it retails for here. I'm beginning to wonder is this difference something to do with Bike to Work.....:rolleyes:

And finally, a Halfords branch up north has the 2010 Boardman Team Carbon on sale for £999. I want to buy it on the BTW scheme, but they don't do internal transfers to here from the north, nor will they accept Euro cheques up there either. Bye bye Boardman so

Most likely due there not being tax on them if they're being shipped to Japan?

Good point, you are probably right. Just checked prices to Germany and they appear the same as Halfords here.
