TBF I've got numerous emails from them about this

If you are propping up your front wheel with (soon to be collectible) yellow pages or block of wood etc - it's time to go proper posh.

Free shipping on the Polaris UK website, even (unusually) when you select Ireland as delivery address using code FREESHIP. I've had mixed success with gear from them but gonna try these commuter gloves for £ 5.00 delivered. Runs out at midnight. Lots of other stuff reduced too.

Potential bargain of the year for me. I ordered shorts, leg warmers, and a winter hat for £35.50. They contacted me the day after to tell me the free postage should have been UK only and I could take a refund or pay an extra £12. I took the refund.

A week later and two parcels have arrived, both with identical contents. So I got two pairs of bib shorts, two pairs of leg warmers, and two hats for -49c (thanks to FX differences between payment and refund).

I presume you'll make contact to notify them of the error and arrange suitable payment...

I'd offer them the original amount quoted. If they seek the delivery costs then I'd tell them I'm ignoring them until they drop that expectation.

Yep, this isn't a bargain, dont know if id be bragging about what is essentially theft should you choose to keep the goods.

I have notified them, and was always planning to. I told the sales rep in my first reply (last Tuesday) that I'd already received a tracking number and she told me it was automatic. Still kept an eye on it throughout the week hoping the parcel would turn around at some stage.

My main concern now is being stuck with return postage. I'll have to wait and see what they say when they get back to me, but as it is I don't think I'll be buying from Polaris in the future.

That's because you don't need one with direct drive trainers. The back wheel isn't raised off the ground, so you don't need a block to level it out.

this.
plus if they want the extra items back, it should be up to them to arrange collection. sending the delivery at all was their mistake, sending it twice compounded the error.

Or I'd notify them and if they want to arrange a courier to collect at a time and place of convenience to myself, fair enough. He refused the finalisation of sale, no way he should out of pocket for them being cheap skates and not just accepting the error.

I was actually only joking - didn't think I'd start what I did! Apologies if I seemed to question your character.

FWIW - I'd tell them where they can collect the items and let them figure it out from there.

Good sale in Polaris Bike Wear - a lot of things like gloves, socks, arm warmers and overshoes for 2/3/5£.

Had a load of stuff in my basket that I didn't need - cancelled when I saw delivery was 5.99 to Parcel Wizard or 12.99 direct.

It was available a few months ago so the price drop is to get rid of stock. It may only be still available in some stores. The specials stay on the Aldi IE website for a few weeks, here it is on the UK site.
